this total decreases to ____ bones by adulthood after some bones have fused together.
Front
206
Back
Supports weight
Front
Lower limbs, pelvis, backbone
Back
OBLIQUE FRACTURE
Front
Back
Extracellular matrix
Front
Made of collagen and inorganic salts (calcium phosphate)
Back
Spongy bone
Front
Branching bony plates (trabeculae)
Back
_______________ is the main inorganic salt in your bones
Front
Calcium phosphate//Hormones activate osteoclast and osteoblast to remove or add calcium phosphate to bones
Bones also contain
Magnesium
Sodium
Potassium
Carbonate ions
Back
Types of joints (tissue)
Front
Fibrous - Most immovable, some slightly movable
Cartilaginous-Slightly movable
Synovial-Freely movable
Back
Flat bones
Front
Protect internal organs, large areas for muscle attachment
Back
Shape of body
Front
Head, face, thorax, and limbs
Back
The Shoulder girdle contains:
Front
2 clavicles
2 scapula
Back
Reduce bone weight
Front
Houses red marrow
Back
Processes
Front
Bony projections where ligament and tendons attach
Back
Articular cartilage
Front
Layer of hyaline cartilage on epiphysis
Back
Synovial
Front
Most joints are synovial
Freely movable
More complex
Ends of bones covered in articular cartilage
Joint capsule holds synovial joints in place
Joint capsule has an outer layer of ligaments and an inner synovial membrane that produces synovial fluid
Back
Endosteum
Front
Lining of the medullary cavity
Back
Osteoblast
Front
bone builder
Back
MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
Front
Provide attachment for muscles
Protect and provide support softer tissues
Produce blood cells in the marrow
Store inorganic salts (Calcium and Phosphorus)
Form passageways for blood vessels and nerves
Back
Irregular bones
Front
Complex shape that protects internal organs
Back
TRANSVERSE FRACTURE
Front
Back
ENDOCHONDRAL BONES
Front
Most bone of the skeleton is endochondral bone
Start as Hyaline cartilage
Ossification begins with Osteoblast in the diaphysis
Ossification continues at the epiphyseal plates lengthening the bone
Osteoclast breakdown Bone in a process called bone remodeling
Then Osteoblast come back and rebuild
Back
The bone mass in the skeleton reaches maximum density around age ___
Front
30
Back
Lacunae
Front
Bone cell chamber
Back
SYNOVIAL JOINT EXAMPLE (KNEE)
Front
Menisci
Bursae

Hematopoiesis is
Front
the formation of blood cells; Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
Back
Fibrous joint
Front
A thin layer of connective tissue connects bones
Examples
Sutures of the skull
Distal end of the tibia and fibula
Back
Osteoclast
Front
Bone-destroying cells
Back
cartilaginous joints
Front
Bones connected with hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
Slightly movable
Examples
Between vertebrae (intervertebral discs)
Pubis symphysis
Between ribs and sternum
Back
Protects organs
Front
Ribs, skull, pelvic girdle
Back
Yellow marrow is
Front
mostly fat and replaces Red marrow as we get older, but can change back if needed
