1st function of the bone

support - provide framework

2
New cards

2nd function of the bone

proetction - skull to brain, vertebrae to spinal cord, ribcage to heart/lungs

3
New cards

3rd function of the bone

anchorage - muscles attach to bones by tendons using bones as levers to move the body

4
New cards

4th function of the bone

mineral storage - resovoirs for calcium + phosphate and release them to the bloodstream

5
New cards

5th function of the bone

blood cell formation - hemtopolesisoccures in the red marrow

6
New cards

6th function of the bone

fat storage - stored in yellow marrow inside long bones

7
New cards

7th function of the bone

hormone production - produce osteocalcin

New cards

which bones are long bones

look like a traditional bone with a diaphysis (shaft) and epiphyses (ends) with medullary cavity inside.

New cards

Long bones

Support weight and facilitate movement; act as levers.

24
New cards

Short bones

Provide stability and some movement; cube-shaped.

25
New cards

Flat bones

Protect internal organs and provide broad surfaces for muscle attachment.

26
New cards

Irregular bones

Have complex shapes that protect organs or provide specialized support.

27
New cards

Sesamoid bones

Develop within tendons; protect tendons from stress and wear, and improve mechanical efficiency.
