Bones & Skeleton

Cards (42)

  • Functions Of Bones
    Supports, protection, movement
    Mineral Homeostasis
    BC production
    Fat Storage
    HHormone storage
  • Five Classifications
    Long bones
    Short Bones
    Flat Bones
    Irregular Bones
    Sesamoid
  • Short bones
    Cube Shaped Bones - wrist & Ankle
  • Long bones
    Longer than wide - Often limbs; humerus
  • Flat Bones
    Thin, Flat, slight curve; sternum, ribs, skull
  • Irregular Bones
    Complicated shapes; vertebrae , hip
  • Sesamoid bones
    Bones formed with tendons; patella
  • Osteoblasts
    Bone forming cells that secret bone matrix
  • Osteocytes
    mature bone monitoring and maintaining bone matrix
  • Osteoclasts
    bone breakdown/reabsorbing that secret collagen-digesting enzyme and acid mixer dissolves calcium phosphate
  • Osteoporosis
    Bone disease when bone mass decreases
  • Types of bone
    Compact bone
    Spongey bone
  • Compact Bone
    Provides protection & support, resists stress. Shell of bone
  • Spongey Bone
    Made up of a honey-comb of small needle like or flat people called Trabeculae
  • Trabeculae
    Help bone resist stress - spaces betweeen trabeculae are filled with red or yellow bone marrow
  • Bone Marrow
    Red - Produces blood cells yellow - store fat
  • Histology of compact bone
    Repeating structural unit if compact bone are called osteons
  • OsteonsOsteons form around central / Haversion canal; blood cells & nerves lye within
  • Lamellae
    Rings that are rich in collagen, surround nutrient canals of osteons
  • Lucanae
    Small space between Conventric Lamellae are called Lucanae; osteocytes sit within
  • epiphysis
    Name for the ends of a bone
  • Diaphysis
    Shaft of the bone
  • Metaphysis
    Seperate the epiphysis & Diaphysis
  • articulate Cartilage
    Covers proximal & distal end of epiphysis - limits friction
  • Periosteum
    Covers diaphysis & epiphysis - protects bone, repair attachment joint of tendons / ligaments
  • Medullary Cavity
    Within the diaphysis contains yellow & red bone marrow
  • Bone formation - embryo / foetus
    Intamembranus
    endochondral
  • intramembranus

    defines skull bones; skull, face, medical clavicle
  • Endochondral
    All other bones
  • bones that make up the skull
    22 bones - 8 cranial & 14 facial bones
  • 8 cranial Bones
    Frontal, occipital, spenoid, ethmoid, 2x parietal , 2x temporal bone
  • 14 facial Bones
    2x; nasal bone, maxillae, Zygemstic, Lacriminal, Palatins, inferior nasal conchae Mandible, vomer
  • four sutures of skull
    Coronal - frontal & parietal bones. Sagittal - two parietal bones. Lambdoid - parietal & occipital Squamous - Parietal & Temporal
  • Importance of vertebral curve
    Organ protection, balance & movement, shock absorption
  • Spinal curvature
    Forward Head. Thoracic kyphosis. Lumbar Lordosis. Sway back
  • Forward head
    head stretched forward, due to screens
  • Thoracic Kyphosis
    Rounded shoulder - pertruded spine
  • Lumbar lordosis
    Often in pregnancy , weight at front abdomen
  • Swap back
    feet, hips, shoulder not aligned. Hips behind feet, shoulder behind hips
  • Thoracic portions of sternum Manubrium, Body, Xiphoid process
