Skeletal System

Cards (39)

  • Hydrostatic skeleton - supports body and structural form and provides resistance for the contraction of muscles to act against
  • For the source of hydrostatic skeletons, some organisms use their fluid-filled gastrovascular cavity or others use their fluid-filled coelom (body cavity)
  • Earthworm with fluid-filled coelom cavity, separated into pressurized compartments by structures called a septa
  • What are the bristles of the earthworm to anchor it to the soil and to prevent backward sliding called?
    Setae
  • During peristalsis of an earthworm, what contracts first, and last?
    Circular muscles contract first, longitudinal muscles contract last.
  • Rigid skeletons - consist of rigid elements where skeletal system is
    usually jointed has muscle attachments.
  • What are the 2 principle types of rigid skeletons?
    Exoskeletons, endoskeletons
  • Exoskeleton - external skeleton of most invertebrates and must molt to grow developmentally and serves for protection and locomotion
  • What is the exoskeleton composed of for molluscs and arthropods respectively?
    Molluscs: Calcium carbonate Arthropods: Chitin
  • What animal phyllum contains a rigid endoskeleton?
    Chordata, Echinoderms
  • Endoskeleton - Internal skeleton, mineralized bone and cartilage, support, protection, and reservoir of calcium and phosphorous, grows as the animal grows
    ✓does not limit space for internal organs
    ✓supports greater weight
  • In echinoderms such as starfish, what are the endoskeleton plates enclosed by?
    Epidermis
  • Notochord is made up of what kind of cartilage?
    Hyaline cartilage
  • Notochord - semirigid supportive axial rod composed of large
    vacuolated cells surrounded by elastic and fibrous sheaths and is a stiffening device
  • What type of endoskeleton is present in vertebrate during larvae and embryonic stages?
    Notochord
  • The notochord is eventually replaced by backbone when transitioning
    into adult stages.
  • Notochord and cartilage - Jawless vertebrates (i.e., hagfishes and
    lampreys) have both a notochord present and purely cartilaginous skeletons
  • Cartilage skeleton - major skeletal element of some vertebrates and are soft, pliable tissue that resists compression (skeletal cartilage of adult
    sharks and rays)
  • What are the two ends of a long bone called?
    Epiphysis
  • Spongy bone - bone composed of thin intersecting lamellae, usually found internal to compact bone
  • Bone marrow - is a spongy substance found in the center of the bones and It manufactures bone marrow stem cells and other substances, which in turn produce blood cells.
  • Compact bone - Outer bone substance that is dense
  • Label what is asked.
    A) Epiphysis
    B) Epiphysis
    C) Bone marrow
    D) Medullary cavity
    E) Endosteum
    F) Perosteum
    G) Perosteum
  • Label the following in the osteon.
    A) Blood vessels
    B) Perosteum
    C) Nerve
    D) Osteon
    E) Osteocyte
  • Bone - Living tissue having significant deposits of calcium salts in the extracellular matrix and density of this tissue form will vary.
  • The long bone has what kind of bone development?
    Endochondral
  • Endochondral ossification - any bone that develops in cartilage and eventually replaces cartilage
  • bones in the face, cranium, and clavicle are made by what bone ossification?
    Intramembranous
  • intramembranous ossification - any bone that develops without the presence of any associated cartilage
  • Osteocytes - Involved in bone formation and reabsorption(bone turnover) and are made from osteoblasts
  • Calcium salts are deposited in matrix by cartilage cells and later by osteoblasts
  • Osteoclasts - break down bone to remove worn cells, deposit calcium in the blood and they work in tandem with osteoblasts to heal broken bones
  • When endochondral ossification is completed, what cartilage remains at the epiphyseal plates?
    Hyaline cartilage, articular cartilages
  • What are differentiated into osteoblasts during intramembranous ossification?
    Mesenchymal cells
  • What do osteoblasts secrete?
    Osteoid (unmineralized bone)
  • As the osteoid mineralizes, and random hardening of bone matrix
    results in the formation of what?
    Trabeculae
  • Vascular tissue within trabecular spaces form what?
    red marrow
  • What is the eventual fate of the mesenchyme during intramembranous ossification to give rise to a layer of connective tissue surrounding the bones?
    Periosteum
  • What replaces woven bone at the outer edge?
    Lamellar bone
