Bone functions and classifications

primary functions of bone

1) Support

2) Movement

3) Protection

4) Mineral Storage

5) Hematopoiesis

6) Hormone production

support

architecture for the body and where we're able to build everything else upon

support in lower extremities

ex: thigh and leg, pillars that we are standing on

support in thoracic cage

are the walls that are helping to protect abdomen and thorax

support in head

the skull that protects brain

movement

attachment for skeletal muscles via tendons, determined by joint types

storage for fat is located where?

yellow bone marrow

minerals that are stored are?

calcium and phosphate

hematopoiesis

is the production of blood cells and platelets

where does hematopoiesis occur?

red bone marrow

hormone production

Osteocalcin secreted by bones helps to regulate insulin secretion, glucose levels, and metabolism

appendicular region

upper and lower limbs

limb girdles

Arrangements of bone that connect the limbs to the body

axial region

"core" of the body, protection of all organs

ex : Skull, all vertebra, ribs
