5 primary functions of the skeletal system

1. Support
2. Storage of minerals (calcium) and lipids (yellow marrow)
3. Blood cell production (red marrow)
4. Protection
5. Leverage (force of motion)

6 major bone shapes

1. Long bones
2. Flat bones
3. Sutural bones
4. Irregular bones
5. Short bones
6. Sesamoid bones

Long bone location:

arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers and toes.

Flat bones location:

skull, sternum, ribs and
scapula.

Sutural bones are:



located:

small, irregular bones


between the flat bones of the skull

Irregular bones are:

spinal vertebrae and pelvic bones

Short bones are:

ankle and wrist bones

Sesamoid bones are


they develop inisde ________ and near _____________

small, flat bones


tendons


joints of knees, hands, feet

epiphysis

The wide part at each end, where thefemur articulates with other bones

area where epiphysis and diaphysis connect

metaphysis

outside of diaphysis is made of:


inside space is:

compact or dense


marrow cavity

epiphsis made up of ____________bone


covered with thin layer ofcompact bone called ______________

spongy


cortex

parietal bone loaction

top of skull

matrix of bone tissue is solid due to

calcium salts deposited around protein fibers
in its ground substance.

Osseous tissue is

supportive connective tissue containing specialized cells

4 characteristics of bone tissue

1. Dense matrix containing deposits of calcium salts
2. The matrix contains bone cells within lacuna
3. Canaliculi form pathways for blood vessels to exchange nutrients and wastes.
4. Outer surfaces of bones are covered by periosteum consisting of outer fibrous
and inner cellular layers.

2/3 of bone matrix:


1/3:

calcium phosphate


protein fibers (collagen)

4 types of bone cells:

1. osteocytes
2. osteoblasts
3. osteoprogenitor cells
4. osteoclasts


mature bone cells that maintain the bone matrix:

osteoctyes

osteoctye lives in a ________ between __________

lacuna


lamellae

allow osteocytes to connect at gap junctions between cytoplasmic extensions.

Canaliculi

2 main functions of osteocytes:

1. To maintain the protein and mineral content of the matrix.
2. To help repair damaged bone

immature bone cells that secrete the matrix by the process of _____________

Osteoblasts


osteogenesis

_____________ are mesenchymal stem cells that divide to produce osteoblasts


they are located in____________

Osteoprogenitor cells


endosteum

giant, mutlinucleate cells that secrete acids and protein-digesting enzymes
which dissolve bone matrix and release stored minerals

osteoclasts

perforating canals

carry blood vessels deep
into the bone and bone marrow

A layer of circumferential lamellae wraps around the circumference of the long bone and
binds all together.

g

________bone doesnt have osteons.

spongy

red bone marrow is located in ___________ bone

spongy

yellow bone marrow is yellow due to it containing _________

fat

periosteum 3 functions:

1. isolates bone from surrounding tissues
2. provides a route for circulatory and nervous supply
3. participates in bone growth and repair

Endosteum contains

osteoblasts, osteoprogenitor
cells and osteoclasts.

process of replacing other tissues with bone is

ossification

2 main forms of ossification

1. intramembranous ossification
2. endochondral ossification

Intramembranous Ossification occurs in the

dermis

Most bones originate as

hyaline cartilage

epiphyseal cartilage disappears after puberty and becomes an

epiphyseal line.

Three major sets of blood vessels

1. The nutrient artery and vein:
2. Metaphyseal vessels
supply the epiphyseal cartilage, where bone growth occurs.
Periosteal vessels provide blood to the superficial osteons and the secondary
ossification centers.

the hormone _________ is essential to proper absorption of
calcium and phosphorus by the digestive tract

calcitirol


____________ and ____________ stimulate bone growth

growth hormone and thyroxine

____________ and ___________ stimulate osteoblasts for bone growth.

estrogen and androgen

___________ and ___________ regulate calcium and phosphate levels in body fluids and maintians calcium ion concentration.

calcitionin and parathroid hormone

Parathyroid hormone(PTH) location:


function:

neck


increases calcium ion levels in body fluids by stimulating osteoclast activity

calcitonin function:

decreases calcium ion
levels in body fluids by inhibiting osteoclast activity

Calcium and phosphate ions circulating in the blood are constantly being lost in the urine. More are either obtained by diet or bone(makes them weak)

f

osteopenia


starts between __ and __yrs of age


women loss __%, men lose __%

reduction of bone mass


30-40


8, 3

osteoporosis, over 45 yrs of age, __% of women and __% of men have it.

severe bone loss


29,18

Estrogens and androgens contribute to maintaining

bone mass
