Cards

Term
SKELETON
Definition
Framework -bones & cartilage
*support soft tissues
*attachment for muscles
*protects internal organs
*stores minerals/fat
*some produce blood cells and red marrow
Term
# OF BONES IN HUMAN BODY
Definition
206
Term
Bone Structure

COMPACT BONE
Definition
dense outer layer
Shaft of long bones (arms, legs)

PERIOSTEUM
Definition
Covers and nourishes bones
*contains blood vessels, nerves, cells for growth & repair
*Injury (bruise, sprain) generates pain

Fatty Tissue for energy Storage
Found in long bones
Term
Bone Living Tissue

OSTEON
Definition
Structural unit of compact bones
-osteocytes in concentric rings around central canal

Tiny canals connect lacunae to central canal
*Nutrients/oxygen/waste from cell to cell to & from blood vessels of central canal
Term
Bone Living Tissue
SOLID MATRIX (in bone)
Definition
Hard due to calcium phosphorous salts
elastic protein collagen strands make it resilient

Term
Bone Formation

EMBRYO LONG & SHORT BONE
Definition
FETAL-2 MONTHS CARTLIAGE MODEL OF BONE
3 MONTHS OSTEOBLASTS FORM COLLAR 9 SPONGY BONE REPLACES CARTLIAGE IN SHAFT. BLOOD VESSELS CONTINUE FORMATION OF BONE
Term
Cartliage Model
Definition
2 REGIONS REMAIN AT EACH END OF LONG BONE

1-cap that covers rubbing surfaces
2-growth plate aka epiphyseal plate
Important in children and adolescents
Term
Bone Formation

BIRTH & CHILDHOOD LONG & SHORT BONE
Definition
At birth spongy bone fills ends of bones
Childhood cartliage remains on in areas where bones rub
Term
Hormones and Bone Growth
Definition
Growth Hormone-chldhood bone growth (promotes cell division)
Thyroid Hormone-helps skeleton grow in proper proportion
Sex Hormones-Prompt & stop growth spurt in puberty
Term
Progress of a Healing Bone
Definition
Hours after break=blood clot
Fibroblast create cartlaginous Osteoblats turn callus to a bony callus
Bone heals to original through remodeling
Term
Bone Remodeling
Definition
Continuous
osteoblasts deposit new bone
Osteoclasts break down old bone
Repairs cracks & reg calcium levels
2 antagonistics hormones
Calcitonin & parathyroid hormone
Term
Bone Remodeling

Calcitonin
Definition
Released from thyroid Gland decreases calcium levels
Stimulates osteobalsts, inhibits osteoclasts
Calcium Moves from blood to bone
Term
Bone Remodeling

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)
Definition
Released from parathyroid glands increases thyroid levels
Stimulates osteoclasts to break down bone
calcium moves from bone to blood
Term
Bone Remodeling

ESTROGEN IN WOMEN
Definition
Stiulates bone formation (osteoblasts)
Inhibits Breakdown of bone (osteoclasts)
Term
Bone Remodeling

OSTEOPOROSIS
Definition
Bone is broken down faster than it is deposited
Term
Bone Remodeling

Response to stress on the bone
Definition
min 30 min 3x per week
Bone tissue is absorbed in the abscence of stress on the bone
(problems for astronauts with 0 gravity)
Term
Axial Skeleton

Two Groups
Definition
Axial Skeleton
Appendicular skeleton
Term
Axial Skeleton

Bones of Axial Skeleton
Definition
Protects and supports our internal organs
Cranial, Facial, Sternum, Ribcage, Vertebrae, intervertebral disks
Term
Axial Skeleton

Appendicular Skeleton

Bones of pectoral girdle and upper appendages ( bones with muscle attachments for movement)
Clavicle, scapula, humerus, radius, ulna,carpals, metacarpals, phallanges, pelvic girdle. femur patella, tibia, fibula, trasals, metatarsals and phallanges
Term
Skull
Definition
Two divisions: cranium and face
Term
Cranial Bones
Definition
eight (sometimes more) flat bones
Term
Facial bones
Definition
(fourteen bones)
Term
Fontanels
Definition
Connect the bones of the cranium Before and shortly after birth.
compressed during birth
rapid growth of the brain during the fetal period and infancy
Replaced by bone by 2 years of age
Term
Vertebral Column
Definition
26 vertebrae
7 cervical (neck) vertebrae (C1–C7)
12 thoracic (chest) vertebrae (T1–T12)
5 lumbar (lower back) vertebrae (L1–L5)
1 sacrum (formed by the fusion of five sacral vertebrae)
1 coccyx (or tailbone, formed by fusion of four vertebrae)
Term
Vertebral Column

Intervetebral Disks
Definition
separate vertebrae from one another
Pads of fibrocartilage
Become compressed over the years and individuals become shorter as they age
Term
Vertebral Column

Slipped disk
Definition
a misnomer
disk that bulges,not moved out of place
bulges inward, = against spinal cord and interfere stimuli/muscle control
If a disk bulges outward,press against the sciatic nerve/cause inflammatory condition sciatica
Term
Vertebral Column

Scoliosis
Definition
Twisted disease”
Abnormal curvature of the spine
Cause is unknown
1.5 million adolescents, primarily females
Treatment may involve a brace or surgery
Term
Axial Skeleton
Definition
A = normal posture
B = kyphosis- shoulders roll forward
C = lordosis or swayback
D = scoliosis, a sideways curvature of the spine
Term
Rib Cage
Definition
12 pairs of ribs attach at the back of the rib cage to the thoracic vertebrae
Upper 10 pairs are attached by cartilage either directly or indirectly to the sternum
Last two pairs do not attach to the sternum and are called “floating ribs”
Term
Appendicular Skeleton
Definition
The appendicular skeleton allows movement and interaction with the environment
Components
Pectoral girdle
Pelvic girdle
Limbs
Term
Pectoral Girdle
Definition
Composed of: Scapulae, Clavicles
Function:Supports the arms
Term
Pelvic Girdle
Definition
Composed of:
Two pelvic bones joined in front at the pubic symphysis
Function:
Supports the legs
Term
Joints
Definition
Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial
Term
Fibrous joints
Definition
Held together by fibrous connective ti
Most do not permit movement
Example: the immovable joints between the skull bones in an adult (sutures)
Term
Cartilaginous joints
Definition
Allow very little movement
Examples: between vertebrae, also where ribs attach to the sternum and in the pubic symphysi
Term
Synovial joints
Definition
freely movable most joints this type
surfaces that move past one another have a thin layer of cartilage
A thin capsule containing synovial fluid (a lubricant) surrounds these joints
The entire joint is reinforced with ligaments, which are straps of connective tissue that hold bones together and direct movement
Term
Ball-and-socket joints
Definition
Motion in all planes
Example: shoulder
Term
Synovial Joints-Movement
Definition
flexion. extension. adduction, rotation, circumduction, supination, pronation
Term
Vertebral Column
