5 primary functions of the skeletal system |
1. Support |
|
6 major bone shapes |
1. Long bones |
|
Long bone location: |
arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers and toes. |
|
Flat bones location: |
skull, sternum, ribs and |
|
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 |
|
Osseous tissue is |
supportive connective tissue containing specialized cells |
|
4 characteristics of bone tissue |
1. Dense matrix containing deposits of calcium salts |
|
2/3 of bone matrix: 1/3: |
calcium phosphate protein fibers (collagen) |
|
4 types of bone cells: |
1. osteocytes |
|
|
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. |
|
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 |
osteoclasts |
|
perforating canals |
carry blood vessels deep |
|
A layer of circumferential lamellae wraps around the circumference of the long bone and |
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 |
|
Endosteum contains |
osteoblasts, osteoprogenitor |
|
process of replacing other tissues with bone is |
ossification |
|
2 main forms of ossification |
1. intramembranous 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: |
|
the hormone _________ is essential to proper absorption of |
calcitirol |
|
|
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 |
|
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 |
