RachelDoherty Skeletal system/tissues, joints and skeletal muscle
Skeletal System Tissues
Major Functions
- Support framework for soft tissue connection; tendons (muscle to bone) & ligaments (bone to bone)
- Movement: along with muscles
- Protection: cranium, vertebrae, rib cage, vital organs etc.
- Mineral Storage: calcium & phosphorus may have to go to bone to get calcium in blood
- Blood cell formation & energy storage. Inside bones is where blood cells are formed
- Energy storage: inside bones- fat nutrient yellow marrow (white)
-
-
Long Bone Components
- Diaphysis: shaft of long bone
- Epiphysis: proximal and distal extremities
- Epiphyseal Plate: hyaline cartilage, used for bone growth (length)
- Epiphyseal Line: Replaces plate w/ bone when growth is completed
- Medullary Cavity: middle of diaphyses, red marrow in child, yellow in adult
- Periosteum: External surface: 2 layers of CT. Outer is dense irregular CT, inner is mainly osteoblasts & clasts
- Endosteum: lines medullary cavity & canals (contains osteoblasts & clasts)
- Articular cartilage: hyaline, prevents friction
-
Types of Bone Cells
-
-
Osteocytes
After osteoblast tires, osteocytes in Lanuca(e) maintain healthy bone tissues
-
Skeletal System Joints
-
Cartilagenous Joints
Synchondrosis
Location: Epiphyseal plate, first rib, manubrium
-
-
-
-
Skeletal System Muscle
Functions
-
Posture: maintain posture, along spinal cord, stabilizing joints
-
Properties
-
Excitability: respond to stimuli (nervous/muscle tissue), produce electrical signal
