skeletal system
Functions: support, protection, movement, storage & production of RBC's are the functions of what system?
osteoblasts
Bone building cells
osteocytes
mature bone cellsterm-0
osteoclasts
large, mulitnucleated bone cells responsible for resorption/dissolved
epiphyseal plateterm-1
cartilaginous area at the ends of long bones where lengthwise growth takes place in the immature skeleton. When filled, growth is done.
periosteum
The tough membrane covering the outer bone and the inner layer contains osteoblasts
Diaphysis
The shaft of the long bone
epiphysis
The irregular ends of long bones
spongy bone
layer of bone tissue with many small places-looks like a spnge
compact
The hard, dense bone
red bone marrow
type of tissue is found at the ends of long bones and in the center of other bones that produces red blood cells
yellow bone marrow
The fat found in the long bone medulaary cavity
endosteum
The thin membrane that lines the bone inside cavity
osteon
The subunit of compact bone that consist of bone tissue around the Haversian central channel?
a line
Forms at the ends of the bone after the epiphyseal plates harden
Head (bone marking)
A round knob like end of a bone separated from the bone by a neck
Crest
A distinct border or ridge
Spine
A sharp projection from the surface of a bone
foramen magnum of occipital bone
opening through which spinal cord connects to lower brain
Sinus
Cavity within a bone, filled with air and lined with mucous membrane in the skull
meatus
A short channel or passageway
axial
Name the division of the skeletal system that included the head, thorax, vertebral column, ribs and sternum.
appendicular
Name the division of the skeletal system that includes the shoulders, hips and extremities.
Hyoid bone
The U shaped bone under the lower jaw
carpals, metacarpals, phalanges
bones of the hand (wrist to fingers)
coxal bone
hip bone composed of 3 parts illium, ischium, and pubis forming the pelvic girdle
Patella
Kneecap
tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges
bones ankle to toes
pectoral girdle
clavicle and scapula
coccyx
The vertebrae at the end of the spine/tailbone
atlas
1st cervical vertebrae
axis bone (C2)
cervicle vertebrae, allows the head to rotate/pivot
scoliosis
lateral curvature of the vertebral column
True ribs
7 pairs of ribs are attached to the sternum individually
false ribs (8-12)
The false ribs have an indirect attachment to the sternum via
the cartilage of rib 7 or they don"t have any cartilaginous attachment to the sternum (floating ribs).
floating ribs (11-12)
The floating ribs are a type of false rib that does not
have an attachment to the sternum.
What is the difference between male and female pelvis?
1. Male-more curved, longer sacrum & the inlet is narrower more heart-shaped
female-lighter, wider, more flared & the inlet is larger more oval for child bearing
What is the difference between a male and female skull? (honors)
1. Male skulls have larger mastoid process (projections behind the ears), while female skulls have smaller process.
2. Male skulls have more prominent eyebrow ridges, while female skulls have smoother supraorbital ridges.
amphiarthrosis/amphiarthrotic (honors)
slightly movable joints like those in the vertebrae
synarthrosis/synarthrotic (honors)
non movable joint like those in the skull
Diarthrosis/diarthrotic (honors)
freely movable joints most joints like the knee and shoulder etc.
gliding/condyloid joint
Which type of joint has the least or smallest range of motion
saddle
The joint where one bone fits into a saddle like depression on another bone.
hinge joint
Joint between bones (as at the elbow or knee) that permits motion in only one plane
ball and socket
The joint where the ball-like surface on one bone fits into a deep cuplike depression in another bone with the greatest movement
ligaments
Bands of dense regular connective tissue that connect 1 bone to another.bone
tendons
The cord of regular dense connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone
Rickets disease
skeletal disorder that results in softening and weakening of bones (lower limbs can even bend under the body's weight) that is important in growth and development
caused by lack of Vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate
articular cartilage
The cartilage that protects ends bones surfaces in a synovial joint
sacrum
The spinal column forms part of the bony pelvis
resorption
The breakdown of bone tissue by osteoclasts
anterior fontanel
The large soft spot of an infants skull at the junction of the 2 parietal and frontal bone
Closed
A simple bone fracture with no open wound
Open
A broken bone protrudes through the skin or an external wound leads to a broken bone.
Greenstick
An incomplete fracture is where one side of the bone is broken and the other is bent. Most common in children
Impacted (honors)
The broken ends of the bone are jammed into each other
Comminuted
There is more than one fracture line. The bone is splintered or crushed.
Spiral
The bone has been twisted apart
longitudinal/linear(honors)
fracture line runs along length of bone
Avulsion break
(honors)
Broken piece of bone
Transverse
The fracture goes straight across the bone
Oblique
The break occurs at an angle across the bone
Osteoporosis
A condition in which the body's bones become weak and break easily.
Calcaneus
heel bone-largest tarsal
Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP)
rare genetic disease where bone forms in wrong places replacing connective tissue (heterotropic bones) after minor injuries, replacing muscle tissue, etc.
hip replacement
Replace Acetabelum, create new ball and put rod into the femur
pivot joint movement
atlas and axis, radius and ulna- twisting back and forth
What is hematopoiesis & its location?
producing red blood cell formation In adults- found in axial skeleton, girdles, and proximal epiphyses of the humerus and femur
bone shape examples
Their names are descriptive except sesamoid: long-femur/humerus, short-wrist/ankles, flat-sternum, irregular-vertebrae, sesamoid-patella (between tendons)
spina bifida
congenital defects in the lumbar spinal column caused by imperfect union of vertebral parts
open reduction
involves surgical exposure of the bone and the use of plates, screws, or pins to realign the fragments
closed reduction, external fixation of a fracture
external manipulation of a fracture to regain alignment

Perforating Volkman's canals connecting and carrying nutrients accross the lamellaes--Most missed area on test-hint hint
