• framework and levers upon which muscles act

• calcium, phosphorus, and adipose

in charge of blood cell production

hematopoiessis

components of skeletal system

bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons

outer layer of cartilage

perichondrium (gives rise to basic cell)

basic cells of cartilige

chondrocyte

fibers of cartilage

collagen or elastic

matrix

(absorbs lots of water, flexible, semi-solid)

avascular

hyaline catilige (3)

• most abundant

elastic cartilage

external ear, epiglottis of larynx

osteoblasts

build up new bone

oesteoclasts

chop up bone

osteoclytes

maintain existing bone and sit in lacunae

bone

• fibers are…

• matrices are…

• has …

• collagen

• inorganic materials (calcium+phosphates = hydroxyapatite), solid, hard for supporting skeleton and protecting organs

• blood supply

compact bone

less porous, absorbs pressure and tension

cancellous/spongy

more porous, absorbs more strain

tendon

connect muscle and bone

ligament

connect bone to bone, fibers are less compact, more flattend than tendons

fibroblasts

make collagen fibers

4 kinds of forces

• __________- squeezing (weight bearing and gravity)

• __________-pulling (of bones by tendons of muscles or maintaining alignment by ligaments)

• __________-twisting (rotation on fixed point)

• __________-tearing across longitudinal axis (during sudden stopping)

• compression

• tension

• torsion

• shearing

pectoral girdle

scapula and clavicle

upper limb

long bones

long and slender (femur and humerus)

flat bones

thin (ribs, sternum, skull, scapulae)

short bones

box-like (carpals and tarsals)

irregular

complex, short, flat, notched, or ridgid surfaces (vertebrae, facial)

projections

• convex in nature

• ligament and tendon attachment, articulation site between bones

• process, condyle, protuberanc, tuberosity, trochanter, line, crest, epicondyle

openings

foramen, canal, meatus, fissure

depression

• concave

• soft tissue attatchment, articulation site between bones or point of interaction betwen organs

enlarged end

neck

constriction between head and body

condyle

smooth, rounded articular surface

facet

small flattened articular surface

process

large tuberosities on proximal femur

epicondyle

near or above condyle

line/linea

low ridge

crest/crista

prominent ridge

spine

high ridge

foramen

hole

canal or meatus

tunnel

fissure

cleft

sinus/labyrinth

cavity

fossa

general term for a depression

notch

depression in bone margin

fovea

little pit

groove/sulcus

deeper, narrow depression

fibrous joint

• range of movement…

• upper extremity example…

• upper extremity example…

• freely movable

• lots

synovial joint strucutre

• found at ends of…

• surrounded by _____ and filled with ________

• accessory ligaments….

• long bones

• joint capsule, synovial fluid

• stabilize joint

bursa

extension of synovial membrane that forms small pockets of fluid to reduce friction (inflammation is called bursitus)

protraction

gliding motion anteriorly (scapula)

retraction

moves structure to anatomical position (scapula)

elevation

moves structure superiorly (scapula)

depression

moves structure inferiorly (scapula)

flexion

decreasing the angle (shoulder, humerus, elbow, wrist, digits)

extension

increasing the angle (shoulder, humerus, elbow, wrist, digits)

circumduction

circles- combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction

medial rotation

rotating in- along long axis (shoulder, humerus)

lateral rotation
