QuestionAnswer
bones are the what framework
what do bones help with the movement
what has storage in place for mineral that help in grow outer point of of bone or hard structure
what is in bone that helps it grow delicate balance of calcium and phosphorus
helps the calcium pass through the small intestine and into the bloodstream vitamin D
what do the bones and body need calcium
what holds the bone marrow inner bone
what does the inner bone manufacture the bone marrow to red blood cells
what are bones made up of osseous, blood vessels and nerves
what does osseous consist of osteocytes (bone cells), collagen and intercellular calcium salts
composed of cartilage which more flexible than osseous fetus bones
the process in which the fetus bones mature ossification
immature bone cells and calcium deposits ossification
immature osteocytes that produce the bony tissue that replaces the cartilage during ossification osteoblast
large cells that reabsorb, or digest, bone tissue osteoclast
why is the function of osteoclast activated to keep bone strong and repaired to remove debris so that the bone doesn't become too thick and heavy
when a bone breaks what happens first osteoblasts provide calcium salts to rebuild
when a bone breaks what happens second osteoclast tears down the old and removes excess bone debris to smooth out the bone
found in lower leg, thigh, upper and lower arms long bones
irregular shape and small / mostly present in ankle and wrist short bones
pelvic bones, skull, shoulder blades and ribs - found to cover soft body parts to protect them flat bones
bones found to increase efficiency of the muscles near a particular joint usually rounded - ex is patella or knee cap sesamoid bones
middle region of the long bone diaphysis
each end of long bone epiphysis
an area of cartilage tissue constantly being replaced by new bone tissue as the bone grows epiphysis line or plate (growth plate)
the growth plate changes in length until what adulthood is reached
flared portion of the bone metaphysis
strong, fibrous, vascular, membrane that covers the surface of the long bone except the ends periosteum
a smooth, strong, and silk tissue that cushion the joint and allows it to move smoothly and efficiently articular cartilage
layer of hard dense bones that lies under the periosteum bone compact (cortical) bone
what system does the compact (cortical) bone have the Haversian canals
a small canals that contain blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrient and remove waste such as carbon dioxide the Haversian canals
the tunneled out center of the long bone that contains the yellow bone marrow that is mainly fat cells medullary cavity
spongy or trabecular bone that is made up bony fivers that are like a spongy lattice work cancellous bone
are the interwoven fibers of the spongy latticework in a lot of the long bones trabeculae
in the spaces in cancellous bone red bone marrow
what does the red bone marrow consist of immature and mature blood cells in various stages of development
the production of all types of blood cells in the bone marrow hematopoiesis
enlarged areas that extend out from bones and serve as attachment for muscles and tendons and ligaments bone process
opening or hollow regions serving as connections between bones or passageways for blood vessels and nerves bone depression
the cranial bones that join each other at the joints cranial bone structure
unfossified tissue in the skull of a newborn at birth fontanelles
supports nasal cavity and eye socket ethmoid bone
forehead - part of the eye sockets frontal bone
back and base of the skull occipital bone
top and side of the skull parietal bone
base of the skull and behind eyes (called the bat - shaped bone) sphenoid bone
lower sides and back of skull temporal bones
corners of each eye lacrimal bone
lacrim means tears
al means pertaining to
lower jaw mandible
upper jawbone maxillae
nasal bones bridge and septum of nose
vomer nasal septum (thin, flat bones)
cheek bones zygomatic bones
place where the bones meet joints
coming together of two or more bones joint articulation
unlovable between the skull bones suture joints
movable and are surrounded by joint capsule synovial joints
fibrous tissue joint capsule
thicken fibrous bands of connective tissue ligaments
how do you increase strength in joints anchor one bone to another in critical areas
smooth white tissue that covers the ends of the bones where they come together at a joint articular cartilage
tissue lining the synovial cavity- produces the synovial fluid synovial membrand
space between bones at a synovial joint- contains synovial fluid produced by the membrane synovial cavity
viscous (sticky) fluid within the synovial cavity synovial fluid
crescent shaped fibroucartilaginous structure- helps cushion the joint meniscus
sac of fluid near a joint however not within a joint bursa
what is the bursa there to help with types of tissues that need to slide past each other with little friction as possible
can be attached to bones, internal organs and blood vessels muscles
internal movement of the muscles involves what contraction and relaxation found in organ
due to contraction and relaxation attached to the bones external movement of the muscles
connective tissue that bind muscle to bones tendons
bind bones to other bones ligaments
makes up the voluntary or skeletal muscle that moves all bones as well as controlling facial expression and eye movement striated muscle
makes up the involuntary or visceral muscles that contract to move internal organs such as digestive tract, the walls of blood vessels, and secretory ducts leading from the glands smooth muscle
striated in appearance but like smooth muscles in its action movement cannot be consciously controlled and the fibers of the cardiac muscle are branching fibers and found in the heart cardiac muscles
connection of the muscle to a stationary bone - usually proximal on the skeleton origin of the muscle
connection of the muscle to the bone that moves -distal from the skeleton insertion of the muscle
decrease the angle between two bones- bending the limb -flextion
increase the angle between two bones - straightening out a limb -extension
movement away from the midline of the body abduction
movement toward the midline of the body adduction
circular movement around the axis rotation
decrease the angle of the ankle joint so that the foot moves upward, toward the center of the body dorsiflexion
motion that moves the foot downward toward the ground as when the pointing of the toe plantar flextion
act of turning the palm up supination
act of turning the palm down pronation
