Because their bones fuse together

Functions of the Skeletal System

Support


Protection


Movements


Storage


Blood Cell Production

Epiphyseal Plate


Epiphyseal Line


Medullary Cavity

True or False. Adults have more red marrow than children

False

What does the yellow marrow composed of?

Adipose tissue

What does the RED marrow consists of

Blood-forming cells

Outermost layer of a bone

Periosteum

Innermost layer of the bone

Endosteum

Bone-forming cells that fxn in the formation of bone,

Osteoblast

Thin sheets. of EC matrix where bone is formed

Lamellae

Spaces b/w the lamellae where osteocytes can be found

Lacunae

2 basic types of bone tissue

Compact Bone


Spongy Bone

Sets of concentric ring that contain the blood vessels supplying the bone tissue

Haversian Canal

Consist of interconnecting rods or plates of bones called Trabeculae resembling scaffoldings

Spongy Bone

The formation of bone by osteoblasts.

Bone Ossification

A mature bone cell

Osteocyte

2 types of ossification

Intramembranous Ossification


Endochondral ossification

Cartilage cells

Chondrocytes

Increase in bone width or diameter

Appositional Growth

Where bone growth in length occurs &leads to increase in height

Epiphyseal Plate

Occurs by the deposition of new bone lamellae onto existing bone or connective tse by the osteoblasts

Bone Growth

Involves the removal of existing bones by osteoclasts & deposition of new bone by osteoblasts

Bone Remodeling

Decreases osteoclastic activity thus, Ca+ levels in the blood will be decreased

Calcitonin (Thyroid Gland)

Indirectly stimulates osteoclastic activity→ ↑bone breakdown and ↑blood Ca+ levels

Parathyroid Hormone

3 organs that work when there is HYPOCALCEMIA

Parathyroid Gland


Kidneys


Small Intestine

Two Divisions of the Skeletal System

Axial


Appendicular

What composes the AXIAL Skeleton

Skull


Vertebral Column


Rib Cage

What composes the Appendicular Skeleton

Pectoral Girdle


Upper limb


Pelvic Girdle


Lower limb

What comprises the Skull

Braincase(Cranium) (8)


Facial Bones (14)

What comprises the Cranium

Frontal bone


Parietal bone (paired)


Temporal bone (paired)


Occipital bone


Sphenoid bone


Ethmoid bone

Types of sinuses

Frontal sinus


Ethmoidal sinus


Sphenoidal sinus


Maxillary sinus

Suture that joins the Parietal and the Frontal bone

Coronal Suture

Suture that joins the Temporal bone

Squamous Suture

Canal that leads to the eardrum and the middle ear

External Auditory Meatus

A sharp, needlelike structure located inferiorly to the EAM

Styloid Process

Suture that joins the Occipital and Parietal bones

Lambdoid Suture

Large opening at the base of occipital bone

Foramen Magnum

Located laterally to the foramen magnum which rest on the first vertebra of the vertebral column

Occipital Condyles

Butterfly- shaped bone that spans the width of the skull and forms part of the floor of the cranial cavity

Sphenoid Bone

Saddle-shaped structure at the central region of the sphenoid bone

Sella Turtica

What does the Sella Turtica contain

Pituitary Gland

Irregularly shaped bone that lies anterior to the sphenoid bone

Ethmoid Bone

Unpaired,U-shaped bone

Hyoid Bone

5 major functions of the Vertebral Column

1. Supports the weight of the head &the trunk.


2. Protects the SC


3. Allows the spinal nerves toexit the SC


4. Site for muscle attachment.


5. Permits movement of thehead and trunk.

What consists our Vertebral Column

Cervical-7


Thoracic-12


Lumbar-5
