2
Connecting the Body
3
Bones, bone marrow, cartilage, joints, ligaments, synovial membrane, synovial fluid, and bursa
4
Framework: bones form a framework to support the body’s muscles, fat, and skin Protection: bones surround vital organs to protect them Levers: muscles attach to bones to help provide movement Production of blood cells: bones help produce red & white blood cells and platelets, a process called hemopoiesis or hematopoiesis Storage: bones store most of the calcium supply of the body in addition to phosphorus & fats.
5
Periosteum – tough, fibrous tissue, forms the outermost covering of bone Compact bone – dense hard & very strong bone, forms the protective outer layer of bones
6
Spongy bone – lighter & not as strong, as compact bone. Found in ends & inner portions of long bones. Red marrow located within spongy bone
7
Medullary Cavity – in the shaft of a long bone & is surrounded by compact bone Endosteum – tissue that lines the medullary cavity
8
Red Bone Marrow – located within spongy bone. Hemopoietic tissue that manufactures red blood cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells & thrombocytes
9
Yellow Bone Marrow – functions as a fat storage area, is composed chiefly or fat cells & is located in the medullary cavity
10
Cartilage – smooth, rubbery, blue-white connective tissue that acts as a shock absorber between bones. Makes up flexible parts of skeleton Articular Cartilage – covers surfaces of bones where they form joints Meniscus – curved fibrous cartilage found in some joints such as knee, tempor- mandibular joint of jaw
11
Diaphysis – shaft of the long bone Epiphysis – wide end of the long bone Foramen – opening in a bone through which blood vessels, nerves, & ligaments pass Process – normal projection on the surface of a bone that serves as an attachment for muscles & tendons.
12
Joints – also known as articulations are the place of union between two or more bones. They are classified according to either their construction or based on the degree of movement they allow
13
Consisting of inflexible layer of dense connective tissue. Holds bones together (also known as sutures) Fontanelles – known as the soft spots, normally present on skull of newborn. Closes as child matures
14
Allow only slight movement and consist of bones connected entirely by cartilage
15
Two bones articulate to permit a variety of motions. Ball & Socket Joints – allow a wide range of movement in many directions, ex. Hips & shoulders Hinge Joints – allow movement primarily in one direction, ex knees, elbows
16
Synovial joints have several components that make complex movements possible Synovial Capsule – outermost layer of strong fibrous tissue that resembles a sleeve as it surrounds the joint Synovial Membrane lines the capsule & secretes synovial fluid
17
Synovial Fluid – flows within the synovial cavity, acts as a lubricant to make smooth movement possible Ligaments – bands of fibrous tissue that form joints by connecting one bone to another of joining bone to cartilage Bursa – fibrous sac that acts as a cushion to ease movement in areas that are subject to friction
18
Typical adult human skeleton consists of approximately 206 bones. Depending on the age of the individual the exact number ranges from 206- 350 bones
19
Protects the major organs of the nervous, respiratory, and circulatory systems. Axial means pertaining to an axis, which is an imaginary line that runs lengthwise through the center of the body
20

65
Immobilization – stabilization, the act of holding, suturing, or fastening the bone in a fixed position with strapping or a cast Traction – a pulling force exerted on a limb in a distal direction in an effort to return the bone or joint to normal alignment
66
External Fixation – fracture treatment procedure in which pins are placed through the soft tissues & bone so that an external appliance can be used to hold the pieces of bone firmly Internal fixation – fracture treatment in which a plate or pins are placed directly into the bone to hold the broken pieces in place.
