Chapter 6 Keywords – Bones and Bone Structure

Describe the major functions of the skeletal system.

Support (Calcium and Phosphate)

Storage of minerals and lipids

Blood cell production (Stem cells)

Protection (Rib cage)

Classify bones according to shape and structure, giving examples of each type, and explain the

functional significance of each of the major types of bone markings.

Irregular Bones: have irregular shapes

Spinal vertebrae, Pelvic bones

Short Bones: boxy shape

Carpal (wrist) bones and Tarsal (ankle) bones

Flat Bones: thin with parallel surface (made like a sandwich)

Sternum, ribs, scapulae

Long Bones: long and slender

arms, legs fingers, toes,

Sesamoid Bones: small, round, and flat

within tendons, near joints of knees, hands, and feet

Bone Markings:

Projections: muscles, tendons, and ligaments attach

Diaphysis (shaft): wall of compact bone, central space called medullary (marrow)

cavity

Epiphysis: wide part at each end of bone, mostly spongy bone (looks like

honeycomb)

Metaphysis: where diaphysis and epiphysis meet

Identify the cell types in bone and list their major functions.

Bone Tissue: extracellular matrix with collagen fibers (organic portion)

Bones: deposits of calcium salts

A. Osteocytes (bone cells) with lacunae around blood vessels

B. Canaliculi – narrow passage for exchange of nutrients, waste, and gas

C. Periosteum – covers surface of bones (except joints)
