Skeletal System Functions
Supports, protects, and facilitates movement in body.
Components of Skeletal System
Includes bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints.
Living Bones
Bones are composed of living cells and tissues.
Axial Skeleton
Includes skull, vertebrae, and rib cage.
Appendicular Skeleton
Includes limbs and girdles connecting to trunk.
Types of Cartilage
Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage found in joints.
Long Bone Anatomy
Consists of diaphysis, epiphyses, and metaphyses.
Diaphysis Structure
Hollow shaft made of compact bone.
Epiphyses Structure
, Ends of long bones, spongy bone inside.
Metaphysis Location
Region between diaphysis and epiphysis.
Growth Structure
Epiphyseal plate allows for bone lengthening.
Diaphysis Microstructure
Contains compact bone with osteons.
Compact Bone
Dense bone tissue providing strength and support.
Osteon
Structural unit of compact bone containing canals.
Central Canal
Contains blood vessels and nerves in osteons.
Lamella
Concentric rings of bone matrix in osteons.
Lacuna
Small cavities housing osteocytes in bone.
Osteocytes Location
Found within lacunae of bone matrix.
Epiphysis Microstructure
Contains spongy bone with trabeculae.
Spongy Bone
Lightweight bone with a porous structure.
