1
New cards

major organs of the skeletal system

bones

2
New cards

axial skeleton

skull, vertebrae/ spinal column, ribs

3
New cards

appendecular skeleton

legs ,arms, hands, feet, shoulder girdle, plevic girdle

4
New cards

What percent of bones weight is water

20 percent

5
New cards

What fraction of the remaining material is minerals

2/3

6
New cards

what are the important minerals in bones

calcium, manesium, phosphate

7
New cards

what fraction of the remaiing material is organic material

1/2

8
New cards

what is the major organic compound that makes up bone weight

collagen is the protein that forms the material surrounding the cells

9
New cards

why is calcium important

bones store it because the body needs it for heartbeat, muscle contraction, and blood clotting

10
New cards

osteoblast

build bone form new bone tissue

11
New cards

osteoclasts

clear or break down bone

12
New cards

how does skeletal system support

frameowrk that supports the body gives structure

13
New cards

how does the skeletal system protect

bones protect internal organs like skull to brain , vertebral column to spinal cords and rib cage to heart n lungs.

14
New cards

how do bones move

when muscles contract they pull on bones allowing for movement

15
New cards

what does red bone marrow produce

red blood cells, white blood cells ,platelets process is known as hematopoesis

16
New cards

What bone is located at the head ans protects the brain, also contains bones that form the face

Skull

17
New cards

The part of the skull that surrounds and protects the brain, brian case

Cranium

18
New cards

back and lower part of the skull, has opening fo rspinal cord

occipital = back of skull

19
New cards

what is th upper jaw

maxilla

20
New cards

what is the lower jaw

mandilble

21
New cards

located on the side of the face aorund the cheek bone area

zygomatic arch

22
New cards

collarbone helps connect the upper limb to the axial skeleton

clavicle

23
New cards

shoulder blade, in the back of the upper chest

scapula

24
New cards

the breastbone in the front center of the chest , three main parts manubrium, body, xipohoid process

Sternum

25
New cards

found at the bottom of the sternum it is the small lower portion of the sternum. provides attachment for diaphragm and abdominal muscles

ziphoid process bottom tip of sternum

26
New cards

Curved bones forming the rib cage around the chest, that protect heart and lungs

ribs

27
New cards

vertebra is one spinal bone located back

vertebrae is more than one located misline of body

28
New cards

What divison of spinal cord has 7 vertebrae, and is found in the neck

cervial is in neck and it has 7 vertebrae

29
New cards

What divison of spinal cord has 12 vertebrae, and is found in the upper-middle back

thoracic is chest/back and it has 12 vertebrae

30
New cards

What divison of spinal cord has 5 vertebrae, big and are found in the lower back becuase it supports alot of weight.

lumbar is lower back and it hads 5 vertebrae

31
New cards

lacated below the lumbar vertebrae and is formed by fused vertebraen connecting to pelvic bonec

sacrum

32
New cards

Small bone at the bottom of the spinal cord, commonly called tailbone

coccyx is known as the tailbone

33
New cards

Spinal column order

cervical, thoracic , lumbar, sacrum, coccyx

34
New cards

projection that stick out fromt eh sides of a vertebrae, provide attachment to muscles and ligaments

transverse prosesses stick out side projectins

35
New cards

the projection that sticks out toward the back of the vertebra, provides attachment for muscles and ligamnets

spinous is back projection

36
New cards

an opening hole in a bone

foramen

37
New cards

allows rotation and urning head side to side

pivot joint

38
New cards

joint that mainly allows bending and straightening in elbow and knee, flexes and extends

hinge joint

39
New cards

allwas moveement in many directions, base of thumb, betweeen trapesium, important for hand movement

saddle joint

40
New cards

rounded end of one bone fits into a socket in shoulder and hip, allows move mant in mmany directions and rotation

ball n socket joint

41
New cards

diaphysiss

shaft loong middle section of long bone, middle, contains medullary cavity thus yellow marrow, the shaft

42
New cards

yellow bone marrow

fat marrow in the medullary cavity of adult long bones

43
New cards

synarhtrosisi

immovable joint, syn no

44
New cards

fibrous joints

connected by strong fibrous connective tissues, little or no movement, like skull sutures

45
New cards

synival joints,

freely movwable joints cantaining a joint cavity with synovial fluid, like pivot, hinge, saddke, ball n socket

46
New cards

bursa

small sac containing fluid , that reduces friciton between structures

47
New cards

synovial cavity

spsce within the join that contians the fluid ,lubricates the join and reduces friction

48
New cards

49
New cards

Open

Bone breaks through skin

50
New cards

New cards

depressed

bones pushed inward

56
New cards

57
New cards

Endosteum

What: Membrane lining the inside of bone.

Where: Internal surfaces of bone.

Purpose: Helps line and support the internal bone structures.

58
New cards

Periosteum

What: Tough membrane covering bone.

Where: Outside surface of bone.
