functions of skeletal system |
* provides support for soft organs
* protection of many organs * joints provide flexible movement of many parts of the body * mineral (calcium, phosphorus) storage * bone marrow: synthesis of blood cells |
|
3 types of connective tissue in skeletal system |
bone, ligaments (dense fibrous connective tissue), and cartilage |
|
fn of cartilage |
support under pressure |
|
3 types of cartilage |
fibrocartilage (in between vertebrae), hyaline (in between joints), and elastic (flexible) |
|
spongy bone cells = |
trabeculae |
|
4 living cells associated with bones |
* chondroblasts => cartilage forming cells that build a “model” of bone |
|
canaliculi |
canals for osteocytes to get bloody |
|
5 bone shapes |
long, short, irregular, sesamoid (provide leverage), flat |
|
5 [anatomy] components of a long bone |
diaphysis, 2 epiphysis, central cavity, spongy bone, compact bone |
|
periosteum
|
connective tissue covering all bones |
|
osteon (or haversian system) |
toilet paper |
|
what do osteons surround? |
the central canal |
|
what type of blood canal moves horizontally through bones? |
transverse canal (canaliculi) |
|
4 steps of intramembranous ossification |
* 1) mesenchyme forms a membrane with osteoprogenitor cells
* 2) becomes vascularized * 3) osteoprogenitor cells transform into osteoblasts * 4) lay down osteoid which become mineralized |
|
2 types of bone generation/repair |
* intramembranous ossification (flat bone/skull)
* endochondral ossification (most long/short) |
|
7 steps of endochondral ossification |
* 1) cartilage model spreads from center to ends
* 2) blood vessel enters model at mid diaphysis * 3) periosteum develops ; enlarges to produce a bone collar * 4) primary ossification center forms (initial center of bone development) * 5) grows in length from the diaphysis towards epiphyses * 6) 2nd ossification centers appear in epiphysis ; bone growth toward diaphysis * 7) epiphyseal plate remains between diaphysis and each epiphysis until bone growth in length is complete |
|
what are the 4 pieces of a baby's skull called? |
fontanels |
|
osteo = |
bone |
|
blast = |
generation |
|
clast = |
erosion/destruction |
|
2 hormones that regulate bone cells |
* parathyroid hormone (PTH) => PTH secretion increases when Ca++ levels are low ; stimulates osteoclasts and removes bone
* calcitonin => secretion increases when blood Calcium (Ca++) levels are high ; stimulates osteoblasts and adds bone |
|
what is artificial bone remodeling? |
osteoblasts deposit more bone where stress is applied |
|
3 types of muscle |
smooth (blood vessels and pus sies), skeletal, cardiac (heart) |
|
how many muscles in human body? |
600+ |
|
5 muscles and fns |
* pectoralis major => flexion/rotation of humerus
* biceps brachii => supinate forearm & flex elbow * rectus abdominus => flexion of lumbar spine * external oblique => compress abdominal cavity * trapezius * deltoids |
