Skeletal System
Skeletal System/Tissues
-
-
Compact bone
Characteristics/Features
-
Made up of osteons that are packed together. A central canal from one osteon to another is called a perforating canal.
Spongy bone
Characteristics/Features
Found in the ends of long bone, and inside all other bones.
Spongy bone has no osteons, and is made up by trabeculae.

Types of bone cells
-
-
Osteoclasts
Created from leukocytes that form one big cell and is multinucleate, has microvilli, and secretes enzymes.
-
Bone Tissue
Osteocytes spreads itself through the cannaliculi and connects to other osteocytes. Tunnels from osteocytes to other osteocytes transfer oxygen, nutrients, and waste.
Skeletal Muscle
Functions
-
-
-
Generate heat
The more you use muscles, the more heat is produced.
-
Connective Tissue Layers
Endomysium
Composed of mostly reticular fibers. Creates space that allows very small blood vessels to run next to muscle fibers.
-
-
Deep Fascia
Binds whole muscles together, also dense irregular connective tissue.
-
Joints
Fibrous Joints
Suture
Bones are joined together with small interconnecting fibers. Found only in the skull, no movement. As you age, suture marks may fade.
-
Syndesmosis
Bundles of dense regular connective tissue, have little movement. Found in many locations on the body, such as our carpals and tarsals.
Cartilaginous Joints
Synchondrosis
Found in the epiphyseal plate, between first rib and manubrium. Where two bones meet, made of hyaline cartilage, and is immovable.
Symphysis
Joins the coxal bones making the pubic symphysis. Also found between the vertebrae, called intervertebral joints. They are made of both hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage. Slightly movable.
Synovial Joints
Presence of a joint cavity surrounded by a joint capsule. The joint capsule has two layers: dense irregular connective tissue that attaches to the periosteum, and an inner layer called the synovial membrane made of areolar connective tissue.
Functions: Secretes synovial fluid that is slippery and can lubricate. Acts like a shock absorber, and nourishes the articular cartilage. Lots of movement.
