surgeons? medicine (DOs) who deal with the prevention and
correction of injuries of the skeletal system and
associated muscles, joints, and ligaments.

and how it affects the whole body.
what are chiropractors focus on the manual adjustment of joints-particularly
(DC)? the spine-to maintain and restore health.
evaluate and treat pain, disease, or injury by physical
what are physical
therapeutic measures, as opposed to medical or
therapists?
surgical measures.
what are physical therapist work under the direction of a physical therapist to assist
assistants? patients with their physical therapy.
what are Orthopedic assist orthopedic surgeons in treating patients.
technologists and
technicians ?

what are podiatrists?
disorders and injuries of the foot.
Your skeleton supports and protects your organ
systems, and is the foundation for much of the medical
terminology you will learn in this book.
what does your skeleton
do?
For example, the radial artery (used for checking a
pulse) is so named because it travels beside the radial
bone of the forearm.
, bones
what are the 4 components cartilage
of the skeletal system? tendons
ligaments
• Support: The bones of your vertebral column, pelvis,
and legs hold up your body. The jawbone supports your
teeth.
Protection: The skull protects your brain. The vertebral
column protects your spinal cord. The rib cage protects
your heart and lungs.
• Blood formation: The marrow in many bones is the
major producer of blood cells, including most of those
in your immune system (see U Chapter 7).
what are the 6 functions of
the tissue/ skeletal system?
Mineral storage and balance: The skeletal system
stores calcium and phosphorus and releases each when
your body needs them for other purposes.
Detoxification: Bones remove metals like lead and
radium from your blood, store them, and slowly release
them for excretion.
Movement: Muscles cannot function without their
attachments to skeletal bones, and muscles are
responsible for your movements (see
The bones of your skeletal system are classified by their
shape!!
Long (considerably longer than they are wide), like the
main bones of the limbs, palms, soles, fingers, and toes;
what are the 4
classifications of bones? Short (nearly as long as they are wide), like the patella
(kneecap) and the bones of the wrists and ankles;
Flat, like the bones of the skull and the ribs
Irregular, like the vertebra..
, they are the most common bones
in your body!
The shaft (diaphysis) of a long
bone contains compact bone
(also called cortical bone)
what is the structure of a while each end of the bone (the
long bone? epiphysis) is composed of
spongy bone.
Sandwiched between the
diaphysis and epiphysis are thin
layers of cartilage cells in the
epiphysial plate or line that allow
your bones to grow longer.
A tough, connective tissue sheath that covers the outer
surface of all bones
it protects the bone and anchors blood vessels and
what is the periosteum?
nerves to the bone's surface.
Strong collagen fibers attach the periosteum to the
cortical (compact - diaphysis) bone.
is a hollow cylinder called the
what is inside the medulla, which contains bone
diaphysis? marrow, a fatty tissue in adults.
Red bone marrow with blood cells in varying stages of
development can be found in the epiphyseal ends of
the bone and in the flat bones of the skull, the
sternum, and the hip bones.
what is red bone marrow Because red bone marrow is normally concentrated
found during varying here, the medulla of the sternum and hip bone is the
stages of development? ideal source for bone marrow aspiration, a procedure
where a needle is inserted into the bone to withdraw a
sample of bone marrow fluid and cells to be checked
for abnormalities.
A bone marrow transplant follows a similar process.
