What does the musculoskeletal system include. | bones, muscles and joints |
5 functions of bones. | framework, protection of organs, attachment for muscles in movement, formation of rbc, store minerals such as calcium and phosphorous |
what are joints. | joints are places where bones come together. |
average adult has how many bones. | 206 |
what are muscles. | muscles are responsible for movement |
can bones move without muscles. | no |
what are bones. | bones are complete organs |
formation of bones. | the formation of bones are dependant of proper supply of calcium and phosphorous to bone tissue |
long bones. | arms and legs |
short bones | wrist and ankles |
flat bones | cover body parts, shoulder, ribs,pelvis, skull |
sesamoid bones | shaped like sesame seeds, are near joints; the patella(knee cap) is the largest example |
how many types of bones are there. | 4 different types:long, short, flat, sesamoid. |
2 bones cell types. | osteoclast and osteoblast |
osteoclast | breaks down the bone with a type of acid |
osteoblast | rebuilds bone that the osteoclast breaksdown |
long bone structure | diaphysis, epiphysis, epiphyseal line |
diaphysis | the shaft of the bone |
epiphysis | each end of the bone |
epiphyseal line | thin layer of cartilage |
interior bone structure | periosteum, articular cartilage, compact bone, spongy bone |
periosteum | covers the bones, its a strong fibrous vascular membrane |
compact bones | lies beneath the periosteum and is around the shaft of the long bone |
inside the bone | hollow (medullary cavity) filled with yellow bone marrow |
spongy bone | cancellous bone less dense than compact bone and is found at the end of long bones |
spongy bones produce | red blood cells and are filled with red bone marrow |
two divisions of the skeleton system | axial, appendicular |
axial | head, trunk, shoulder girdle |
appendicular | arms, legs, hip girdle |
what is a joint | articulation or coming together of two or more bones |
what joints are immovable | the suture joints in the skull (baby soft spot) |
synovial joint | bones that are separated by a fibrous cartilage joint capsule |
ligaments | often anchor the bones together around the capsule |
articular cartilage | covers the end of bones |
synovial membrane | lines the capsule |
synovial fluid | nourishes and lubricates the joint |
bursae | closed sacs of synovial fluid |
fracture | sudden breaking of a bone |
closed fracture | bone is broken and there is no open wound in the skin |
compound open fracture | bone is broken and there is open wound in the skin as a result |
osteogenic sarcoma | malignant tumor arising from the bone, osteoblast are multiplying out of control and form a large tumor(especially at the end of long bones) |
osteomyelitis | inflammation of bone and bone marrow |
etiology | is a bacterial infection |
osteomalacia | softening of the bone with inadequate amt of minerals in the bone like calcium |
osteoporosis | decrease in bone density...lack of estrogen...often occuring in older women |
ankylosing spondylitis | chronic, progressive arthritis with stiffening of joints, primarily of the spine |
dislocation | displascement of a bone from its joint |
