What are the skeletal system functions?
A. Structure & support
B. Protects organs
C. Movement of muscles
D. Hemopoiesis
E. Electrolyte/mineral balance
Word Stem:

Hemo=
Blood
Word Stem

Poisis=
act of producing
What is hemopoiesis?

Where is it found?
Hemopoiesis is the production of blood cells.
In adults it is found in red bone marrow of the proximal head of the humerous, femur, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, & Ossa Coxae.
Word Stem

Os=
bone
Word Stem

Cox=
hip
Word Stem

Inominate=
without a name
Bones store and release what?
Electrolytes and minerals for balance.
Definition of Organ.
A group of tissues with a common function.
Word Stem

Clast=
break
Bone Types:

Long bones are found? & do what?
found in appendages.

for movement.
Bone Types:

Short bones
equal in length & width.

for gliding movements (carpals & tarsals).
Bone Types:

Flat bones for?
Found?
Skull - frontal,
Thoracic - Sternum, ribs
Pectoral girdle - scapula & clavicle
To protect organs & for muscle attachment.
Bone Types:

Irregular bones for?
Found?
for muscle attachment.

Sphenoid, ethmoid, & vertebrae
Bone Types:

Wormian, found?
Sutural bones between skull bones.
Sesamoid?
forms in tendons in response to stress. (Patella)
Word Stem

Sesamoid=
sesame like
Word Stem

Meta=
Between
Bone as a tissue. (Osseous)=

What are Osteogenic cells?
bone

osteogenic cells are stem cells that become osteoblasts.
Osteoblasts do what?
secrete organic bone matrix which is called "osteoid"
Word Stem

Osteoid=
bone like
Osteoblasts surround themselves with organic bone matrix and become?
Osteocytes
Osteocytes are?
adult/mature bone cells surrounded by a lacuna.
Osteoclasts do what?
dissolve existing bone w/ HCl & acid phosphatase a bone eating enzyme.
Osteoclasts come from?
Macrophages/Monocytes
Organic bone matrix is made up of?
dense collagen & ground substance, which offers resistance to breakage.
Inorganic bone matrix is made up of?
85% Calcium & Phosphate, which travel in the blood and crystallize into hydroxyapatite crystals on the collagen. (This makes bones hard.)
What keeps blood from crystallizing?
Fetuin A & B inhibit the Calcium & Phosphate from crystallizing in the blood.
Word Stem

Fetuin=
fetus
Fetuin inhibitor
Osteoblasts inhibit Fetuin in bone so the calcium & phosphate can crystallize into hydroxyapitite.
Bone Formation:
Ossification is?
replacing existing tissue with bone.
Calcification is?
Depositing Calcium minerals in bone.
Bones of the skull?
Frontal, 2 Parietal bones, Occipital, Sphenoid, Ethmoid, & 2 Temporal bones.
Sutures of the skull?
Sagittal suture, Coronal suture, Squamosal suture, & Lambdoid suture.
Word Stem

Styloid=
pencil like
What are the sections that make up the vertebral column?
Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacral, and Coccygeal.
Name the Axial bones?
Skull, vertebral column, ribs & sternum.
Vertebral Column
Cervical vertebrae consists of how many vertebra? Name the 1st & 2nd?
7 vertebrae
Atlas is the 1st cervical vertebra.
Axis is the 2nd cervical vertebra.
Word Stem

Pecto=
chest
Word Stem

Pelvis=
basin
Thoracic vertebra contains?
12 vertebra
(T1 - T12)
Lumbar vertebra contains?
5 vertebra
The Sacrum is?
composed of 4 to 5 fused vertebra.
The coccyx is?
3 to 5 typically 4 coccygeal vertebrae that have begun fusing by age 25.
Joins the 2 Os Coxae (anterior)?

Name the 3 bones that make up the Ossa Coxae?
ilium, ischium, & pubis
Name the indentation in the Ossa Coxae where the femur connects?
Acetabulum
Name the type of cartilage that join the 2 Os Coxae anterior?
fibrocartilage
What is a process?
Any projection or bump.
Define: Trochanter
a large, rough projection
Define: Condyle
A smooth, rounded articular process.
Define: Trochlea
a smooth, grooved articular process shaped like a pulley.
The Periosteum is found where?

What are the 2 layers of the Periosteum?
Surrounds bone, modified fibrous

Outer layer: collagen
Inner layer: osteoblasts
The 2 ends of a bone is called?
The shaft of the bone is called?
Growth plate between the end and shaft is called?
