Skeletal System And Articulations

Front 1

Function of Skeletal System

Back 1

structure, movement, protection, articulations in joints, involved in production of red blood cells, maintains homeostasis through absorption of calcium

Front 2

Categories of Bone

Back 2

long bones
flat bones: skull, sternum
irregular bones: vertebrae

Front 3

Parts of a Long Bone

Back 3

epiphysis
diaphysis
medullary cavity

Front 4

Epiphysis

Back 4

proximal and distal ends of long bone (developed from a Secondary Ossification Center)

Front 5

Diaphysis

Back 5

shaft of long bone and contains the medullary cavity

Front 6

Medullary Cavity

Back 6

large, marrow filled cavity in the shaft of a long bone

Front 7

Yellow marrow

Back 7

consists primarily of lipids and found in medullary cavity of long bones

Front 8

Red Marrow

Back 8

consists primarily of red blood cells and can be found in proximal epiphysis of long bones

Front 9

Periosteum

Back 9

connective tissue membrane that covers the outer surface of a bone

Front 10

Eondosteum

Back 10

single layer of connective tissue that lines the medullary cavity; includes osteoblasts and osteoclasts

Front 11

Sharpey's Fibers (perforating)

Back 11

bundles of collagen fibers that penetrate the periosteum and strengthen attachment of tendons/ligaments to bone

Front 12

Articular Cartilage

Back 12

thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering a bone where it forms an articulation with another bone (lines epiphysis)

Front 13

2 Types of Bone Tissue

Back 13

compact
spongey

Front 14

Compact bone

Back 14

solid matrix produced by osteoblasts and organized into osteons; forms the diaphysis
