skeletal system functions and bones

What are the 5 functions of the skeletal system

Provides protection

Support

Movement

Storage of minerals

Hematopoiesis which makes blood

Leverage, muscle movers, supports a majority of weight and example is the femur

Long bone (types of bone)

Supports an example is the fingers and the toes

Short bones (bone type)

The main protection

Flat bone (bone type)

Little movement, supports and protect

Irregular bone (bone type)

Oval embed in tendon petela

Sesamoid (bone type)

length of the bone which has the human growth hormone or hGH

Longitudinal (type of bone growth)

Width of bone/ bone mass

Diet and exercise can influence the growth

Appositional (bone growth)

Higher in kids

Goes down in adults

Hematopoiesis

Sponge stem cells soaks up blood like a sponge

Red bone marrow

Growth plate

Thick in kids

Thin/absent in adults

Epiphyseal plate

Two types and the head of the bone proximal which is on the top and distal which is on the bottom

Epiphysis

Shaft or the middle of bone

Diaphysis

Fat shock absorb absent in kids below 7

Yellow bone marrow

Tough membrane

Muscle/tendons attach

Petiosteum

Structural unit in bone there are many

Ostenon

Mature bone cell

Brain

Ostocyte

Bone break

PTH

Adult

Osteoclast

Bone builder

Calcitonin

Higher in kids

Osteoblast
