skeletal system 8/17
bones
Question | Answer |
---|---|
skeletal system mechanical functions: | Framework, proteccts, movement (acts as rigid bar in a lever) sound transduction. |
skeletal system synthetic functions: | hematopoiesis (blood production) |
skeletal system metabolic functions: | stores minerals (ca, P, Mg,stores adipose fat in medullary cavity of long bones,acid-base balance-bones release & absorb alkaline salts that keep ph balanced...., detoxify blood-absorb heavy metals from blood and release them later. |
number of bones in a fetus | 270 that ultimately fuse to 206 total bones. |
what two sub divisions is the skel system comprised of: | axial made up of 80 bones, and appendicular made up of 126. |
Long bones | humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, phalanges, femur, tibia, fibula, metatarsals |
short bones | carpals and tarsals |
flat bones | cranials, sternum, rib cage, scapula |
irregular bones | facial, vertebrae, coceyx, hips |
sesamoid | bones are wrapped in connective tissue, knee cap,,,patella |
wormian or sutural bone | extra bones found between the sutures of cranial bone. predominantly between the parietal and occipital bones. |
bone ossification origin: | during gastula stage of embryological dev. (3 wks after conc.) 3 germ layers are formed from which all organs are derived. |
3 germ layers include (superior to inferior) | ectodermmesodermendoderm |
bones are derived from what layer? | mesodermal layer (some of the mesodermal cells differentiate to form mesenchymal cells. |
once thhe osteoblast is formed it will establish what? | bone tissue |
what is the embryonic skeleton comprised of: | hyaline cartilage (avascular no blood)fibrous cartilage (highly vascularized lots of blood) |
when does the ossification process begin and end? | 6th and 7th week of prenatal life and is not complete until adulthood. |
endochondral ossification | converts hyaline cartilage to bonemost common ossification processalmost every bone is formed this way |
intramembranous ossification | converts the highly vascularized fibrous connective tissue to bone. least common ossif processforms cranial bones, mandible, and clavicles. |
what is bone comprised of: | bone tissue |
what is bone tissue comprised of: | matrix & cells |
matrix | 25% h20 25% collagen adds flexability to bone50% mineral salts (hydroxyapatite, ca2 Co3-they both add hardness to bone. |
what are the bone tissue cells | osteoprogenitorosteoblastosteocyteosteoclast |
Osteoprogenitor | derived from mesenchymal cellsdifferentiate into osteoblasts |
Osteoblast | immature bone cellderived from osteoprogenitoris a boone establishing cell (lays down the matrix of bone once the matrix is established it entraps inself in a space called a lacuna and converts to osteocyte |
osteocyte | mature bone cellmaintains the viability of the bone tissue via the dev of long appendages called canaliculi- caniculi are capillary like structure that permit an osteocyte to communicate w/ other osteocyte also nutrient and waste exchange between |
osteoclast | derived from wbca bone resorption or break down cell largest bone cell and has multinucleation & vacoules that contain acids and enzymes to break down bone |
epiphysis | comprises of outer compact and inner cancellous bone.covered by articulating hyaline cartilage prevents bone rub. |
metaphysis | area between epiphyses and diaphysishouses the epiphseal growth plate site of endochondrial ossif for first 21 yearsof life |
diaphysis | make up of compact bone.houses the cavit that contains yellow marrowhouses nutrient famina that allow blood and lymph vessel to access bone. |
periosteum | highly vascularized conn tissue.covers all bone with exception of the articulating cartilage on the epiphysesconsist of 2 layers. outer layer is called fibrous peristeum |
what acts as an attchment site for muscles via tendons | periosteum |
periosteum | inner layer is called osteogenic layer provides bone cells blood and lymph supply to bone that enter thru nutrient foramina in diaphysis. |
perichondrium | highly vascularized conn tissue and surrounds the articulating hyaline cart of epiphysisprovides blood supply to avascular hyaline cart. |
