Correct Answers
skeletal system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-composed of bones, cartilages, and
| | | | | | | | |
ligaments joined tightly to form a strong, flexible framework for the body
| | | | | | | | | | |
Cartilage - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔--the forerunner of most bones
| | | | | | |
-covers many joint surfaces of mature bone
| | | | | |
ligaments - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-hold bones together at the joints
| | | | | | | |
Tendons - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-structurally like ligaments but attach muscle to
| | | | | | | | | |
bone
Functions of the skeleton - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-1. support
| | | | | | |
2. protection
|
3. movement
|
4. electrolyte balance
| |
5. acid-base balance
| |
6. blood formation
| |
Function: support - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Bones of the limbs and vertebral
| | | | | | | | | |
column support the body; mandible and maxima support teeth
| | | | | | | |
, Function: protection - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-bones enclose and protect the
| | | | | | | | |
brain, spinal cord, heart, lungs, pelvic viscera, and bone marrow
| | | | | | | | |
Function: Movement - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-limb movements, breathing, and
| | | | | | | |
other movements are produced by the action of the muscles on the bones
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Function: electrolyte balance - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-skeleton stores calcium
| | | | | | | |
and phosphate ions and releases them into the tissue fluid and blood according
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
to the body's physiological needs
| | | |
Function: acid-base balance - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-bone tissue buffers the
| | | | | | | | |
blood against excessive pH changes by absorbing or releasing alkaline phosphate
| | | | | | | | | | |
and carbonate salts
| |
Function: blood formation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-red bone marrow is the major
| | | | | | | | | |
producer of blood cells, including cells of the immune system
| | | | | | | | | |
Bone (osseous tissue) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a connective tissue in which the
| | | | | | | | | | |
matrix is hardened by the deposition of calcium phosphate and other minerals
| | | | | | | | | | |
mineralization/calcification - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the hardening process of | | | | | | |
osseous tissue |
flat bones - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-thin curved plates
| | | | | |
-most of cranial bones
| | |
