Introduction
There are three components to the skeletal system. What are they?
Bones, Cartilage, Ligaments
This is a function of the skeletal system because it is a result of the action of muscle on bones
Movement
This is the name for the end of the long bone
Epiphysis
These cells are stem cell precursors of most osseous bones
Osteogenic cells
This is the basic unit of compact bone
Osteon
What kind of tissue is bone/ osseous tissue?
Connective tissue
This is a function of the skeletal system because bones cover our important organs. Furthermore, bone is hemopoietic meaning it makes blood cells- including leukocytes that are important for our immune system. What is this function?
Protection
This is the name for the bone shaft (the middle of the bone)
Diaphysis
These cells are bone forming cells
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes can be found in lacunae which are interconnected through...
Canaliculi
This is a feature that covers joint surfaces of mature bones
Cartilage
This is a function of the skeletal system because bones store calcium and phosphate ions
Electrolyte balance
This is the spongy layer in flat bones (like the cranium)
These cells are trapped in lacunae, and signal stress to determine if deposition or resorption is necessary
Osteocytes
Bone is made up of both organic and inorganic matter, which part is characterized by hydroxyapatite?
Inorganic
This is a structure that holds bones together at the joints
Ligaments
This is a function of the skeletal system because bone regulates blood pH by exchanging calcium and phosphate with blood
Acid-Base regulation
What is the internal layer of the periosteum called?
Inner Osteogenic layer
These cells are bone dissolving cells found at the bone surface
Osteoclasts
This bone marrow is hemopoietic (meaning it makes blood)
Red Bone Marrow
What is the specific name for the hyaline cartilage found at the end of long bones
Articular cartilage
This is a function of the skeletal system because bone marrow is a major producer of blood cells
This the the hole for blood vessels in long bones
Nutrient foramina
What cells are found in the osteogenic cell life cycle
Osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, and osteocytes
This disease is characterized by a deficiency in making collagen, which ultimately leads to brittle bones
Osteogenesis imperfecta
