Term
SKELETAL SYSTEM
Definition
275 AT BIRTH, 20 6 IN ADULTS, 18% OF BODY WEIGHT, SO BONES IN AXIAL SKELETON (SKULL AND BACKBONE) 126 IN APPENDICULAR SKELETON (ARMS,HANDS,LEGS,AND FEET.
Term
functions
Definition
1. provide frame work for body
2. provide attachment for muscles
3. protects interior organs
4. manifactures all the blood cells
5. stores calcium and phospharous
Term
bone structure
Definition
structure of a typical long bone matrix - 25% water 25% praties, 50% mineral salts of Ca and P
Term
epiphysis
Definition
ends of the long bone with spongy or coancellous bone with red marrow for blood production - mostly ribs, long bones abd sternunum
Term
diaphysis
Definition
shaft of long bone made of compact bone strength, medullary canal with yellow marrow (fat) make blood in emergency lined with endosteum
Term
periosteom
Definition
membrane surrounding the outside of the bone with blood vessels, nerves, attachment of tendons, and ligaments
Term
osteobiasis
Definition
form bone cells, ostociast dissolve bone cells within lacunae within the harvestan system. thus bones are in a constant state of rebuilding and remodeling
Term
ossification
Definition

in long bones beings in diaphsis then ephysistakes 25 years to complete starting with the scapula two types

1. fibrous membrane in facial bones.mandible, ciavicle

2. hyaline cartliage forms models of the most other bones that is slowly replaced by bone

Term
growth of bones.
Definition
growth of bone length at epiphyseal cartilage plate - vitamin D is needed is obsurm calcium from nutrients along with growth and sex hormones affecting osteblast plate gets narrower with age, then finally disappears in adulthood at ~25 years
Term
arthology
Definition
study of pints-ligaments join bone to bone
Term
synotosis
Definition
sutures in skull
Term
synchrodrosis
Definition
costal cartilage om robs betweem epiphysis and dahysis
Term
gomphosis
Definition
is a joint that binds the teeth to bony sockets (dental alveoli) in the maxillary bone and mandible
Term
amphiarthrosis
Definition
slightly movable joints
Term
amphiarthrosis
Definition
slightly movable joint
Term
syndesmos
Definition
bone bound together with ligament distal tibia, fibula
Term
sympysis
Definition
public bone inter vertebral discs and vertebrae
Term
diarthrosis
Definition
freely movable with hyaine cartilage covering the ends of the bone, synovial fluid with synovial sac for lubrication nutrients and shock absorber. ligaments holding the bones together and preventing excess movmenent. synovial membrane encapsulates entire joint
Term
gliding
Definition
carpals, tarsals, scapulal, clavical
Term
hing
Definition
elbow, knee, between phalanges
Term
pivot
Definition
atlas/axis radius,unla (proximal)
Term
eliipsoid
Definition
radius/carpals/tibia/tarsals
Term
saddle phallanges/metacarpals/metatarsals
Definition
Term
ball and socket
Definition
hip and shoulder
Term
bursae
Definition
small sacs of snovial fluid for reducing friction or acting as a shock absorber between ligamants, tendons and bone synovial tendon shteats are tublar bursae surrounding tendons particularly in distal forarm`
