The bony framework upon which the body is built.It provides attachments for the muscular system and carries and protects the cardiovascular and respiratory systems
The skeleton
1 of 17
This skeleton forms the long axis of the body and includes the bones of the skull, spine and rib cage
Axial
2 of 17
This skeleton's bones are the upper and lower limbs and their girdles that join to the axial skeleton
Appendicular
3 of 17
Connects bone to muscle
Tendon
4 of 17
Tough band of fibrous slightly, elastic connective tissue. Attaches bone to bone. Prevents disloaction
Ligament
5 of 17
Region between diaphysis(the shaft/middle part)and epiphysis (end portion) in children which is responsible for longitudinal bone growth.
Growthplate
6 of 17
Fibrous protein in bones that provides strength
Collagen
7 of 17
Keeps bone hard and strong, stored in bones
Calcium
8 of 17
Thin layer of glassy-smooth cartilage that is quite spongy, occurs at the epiphysis
Articular
9 of 17
Space within a synovial joint that contains synovial fluid
Jointcavity
10 of 17
When a joint is compressed synovial fluid seeps out of this type of cartilage to reduce friction between the caritilages. the fluid is reabsorbed into this cartilage. (weeping lubrication theory)
Articular
11 of 17
Provides cushioning between the fibrous capsule and a bone or muscle...'Pad of...'
fat
12 of 17
Wedge of white fibrocartilage that improves the fit between adjacent bone ends, improves joint stability, reduces wear and tear of cartilage
Meniscus
13 of 17
Flattened fibrous sac lines with synovial fluid that contains a thin film of synovial fluid, its function is to prevent friction at sites in the body where ligaments, tendons, muscles or bones might rub together
Bursa
14 of 17
This joint has a band of strong fibrous tissue, a slippery fluid that is contained in the joint cavity, Gassy-smooth cartilage that is spongy and covers the ends of the bones in the joint. A tough fibrous tissue that has two layers.
Synovial
15 of 17
Stored in the spaces inside bone, site of blood cell production and fat storage
