AB
Skeletal Systemcontains bones and specialized tissues that connect them
Specialized tissues of skeletal systemCartilage & Ligaments
Functions of the Skeletal SystemSupport & Protection & Storage & Blood cell production
Bonemade up of Osseous Connective tissue
osteocytesmature bone cells
Bone ShapesLong & Flat & Short& Irregular
Long Bone Structurediaphysis & epiphysis
epiphysisHead of long bone
diaphysisShaft of long bone
periosteumconnective tissue on the outside of diaphysis
endosteuminternal tissue of the bone
Marrowcavity within some bones where blood stem cells are located
Articular Cartilagetype of cartuilage found on the epiphyseal regions of long bones
Osteocytesmature bone cells
Osteoblastsbone matrix-forming cells
Osteoclastsbone remodeling cells
Compact bonecontains haversian canals and is found in the diahphysis of the bone
Spongy boneis found in the epiphysis of the bone
Endochondral Ossificationthe process whereby bone tissue replaces cartilage tissue during embryonic development
Osteoporosisresults when osteoclasts are more actiove than osteoblasts creating brittle bones
Divisions of Skeletal SystemAxial skeleton & Appendicular skeleton
Axial Skeleton functionSupport and protection of organs and organ systems
Axial SkeletonSkull & Vertebrae &Thoracic Cage & Skull
skullProtects brain and contains 22 bones
Cranial bonesheld together by sutures & include Parietal & Temporal & Frontal &
Vertebral ColumnCervical & Thoracic & Lumbar & Sacral & Coccyx
VertebraeSpinous process & Transverse process & Vertebral foramen & Body
Thoracic CageClavicle & Ribs Sternum
STERNUMmanubrium & body & xiphoid process
Ribsarticulate with transverse process of vertebra posteriorly and sternum interiorly
True Ribsseven that are connected directly to sternum by costal cartilage
5 False ribsfive that are connected to cartilage of rib 7
2 floating ribstwo that do not connect to sternum
Pectoral GirdleClavicle & Scapula & Humerus
claviclecollar bone and is easiest bone to break
scapulashoulder blade
Pelvic GirdleCoxa & Ilium & Ishium & Femur
pelvisCoxa & Ilium & pubis& Ishium
Upper LimbHumerus & Radius & Ulna & Carpals & Metacarpals & Phalanges
carlapswrist bones
metacarpalshand bones
phalangesfinger and toe bones
pollexthumb
Lower LimbFemur & Tibia & Fibula & Patella & Tarsals & Metatarsals & Phalanges
femurlargest bone in the body
Fibulasecond easiest bone to break
Tibiashin bone
Patellaknee cap
Tarsalsankle bones
Metatarsalsfoot bones
halluxbig toe
Jointsregion where two bones meet
suturesimmovable fibrous joints found in the cranium
Ball and Socket jointshoulder or hip.
Condyloid jointmetacarpals & phalanges or between metatarsals &phalanges
Saddle jointthe only saddle joint in the body is in the thumb.
Pivot jointpronation and supination of the forearm
Hinge jointelbow or knee
Gliding jointthe carpals in the wrist or the tarsals in the ankle.
Synovial Jointshave capsules created by connective tissue surrounding the articulating surfaces containing lubricating synovial fluid
Fibrocartilaginous jointa type of joint in which the apposed bony surfaces are firmly united by a plate of fibrocartilage and is found in vertebral column and the pubis symphysis
Meniscal cartilagea crescent-shaped fibrocartilaginous structure that only partly divides a joint cavity and is present in the knee.
Bursais a small fluid-filled sac lined by synovial membrane filled with synovial fluid and are found around most major joints of the body to provide a cushion between bones and tendons and/ or muscles around a joint.
Abductionmovement away from body
Adductionmovement toward body
Flexionmovement that decreases angle between two bones
Extensionmovement that increases angle between two bones
Glidingmovement in which Flat or slightly flat surfaces move against each other allowing sliding or twisting without any circular movement
Circumductioncircular movements
RotationRotary movement around the longitudinal axis of the bone
Pronationinternal rotation of thumb the big toe toward the midline
supinationexternal rotation of thumb the big toe away from the midline
Inversionsupination of the foot
Eversionpronation of the foot
Dorsiflexionflexion of the muscles on the front of the lower leg so toes point toward head
plantar flexionflexion of the calf muscles so that toes move towards back
Muscle propertiesexcitability & contractibility & elasticity
Function of Muscular SystemProduce movement & Maintain posture & Maintain body temperature
Ligamentsconnect bone to bone
Tendonsconnect muscle to bone
Sarcomeresfunctional unit of muscle fiber
Axial MusclesPosition head & move spinal column & move rib cage
Appendicular MusclesStabilize and move appendicular skeleton
Deltoidsmajor shoulder muscle
Bicepsflexion at elbow joint
Tricepsextension at elbow joint
Trapeziusmoves head and neck
Latissimus dorsichin ups
Gluteus Maximusused in squat exercise
Pectoralisflight muscle in birds
Rectus abdominusstrengthen by doing sit ups
Hamstring groupstrengthen by doing leg curls
Quadriceps groupstrengthen by doing leg extensions
