2. It provides support (framework) to which soft tissues attach & gives our body shape. * It creates movement where the muscles pull on the bones. * It protects vital organs. Eg. The ribs protect the lungs & heart. * Blood cell formation. Long bones contain bone marrow which produces new red blood cells. * It stores minerals, such as calcium and phosphurus stored in the form of collagen.

3. Distal epiphysis Proximal epiphysis diaphysis yellow marrow epiphyseal line periosteum compact bone spongy bone Endosteum hyaline cartilage Sharpey’s fibers

4. * DEVELOPING BONES: A baby’s bones contain cartilage. It is more flexible and tends to flex without breaking. As a child grows the cartilage turns to bone. The periosteum lays down new bone cells on the outside of the bone. Bone cells are constantly being replaced. During growth spurts form formation occurs faster than bone loss. During adulthood rate of growth and loss are similar. During old age bones become brittle and dont re-form as effectively. *EXERCISE & BONES: Exercise plays a critical role in achieving PEAK BONE MASS during childhood and adolescent years. During these years, activities that are weight bearing and high impact are the most beneficial in helping the bones being thicker and stronger. This helps reduce the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis later in life. Resistance training is also beneficial. Peak Bone Mass is attained at about 30yrs of age and without regular exercise can decline as you get older.

5. * Long Bones- Longer in shape than they are wide. Light but strong.Have a hollow shaft containing yellow bone marrow, ends of bone contain red marrowEg. Femur, Radius, Humerus. *Short Bones- Chunky, compact bones. Strong and think. Same width & length. Contain spongy boneEg. Phalanges (fingers/toes), carpals (wrist) & tarsals (ankle). *Flat Bones- Provide flat areas for attachment of muscles. Protect organs. Two strong layers of compact bone joined by layer of spongy bone. Eg. Scapula, Ribs (protect heart & lungs), Skull (protects brain). *Irregular Bones- No regular shape characteristics. Made of thin layer of compact bone containing a mass of spongy bone.Eg. Vertebrae (spinal cord), Pelvis. * Sesamoid Bones- Small bones developed in tendons around some joints.Eg. Patella (kneecap).

9. Cervical Vertebrae (7) Thoracic Vertebrae (12) Lumbar Vertberae (5) Sacrum (5) Coccyx (4) Each vertebra has a hollow centre for the Spinal cord to travel thru. As they descend down the spine, they increase in size to support the body. Movement between each vertebra is minimal, but as a whole it is slightly flexible.

35. Diseases of the Skeletal System: Osteoporosis- bone reabsorption outpaces bone deposit; bones become lighter and fracture easier Factors: age, gender (more in women) estrogen and testosterone decrease insufficient exercise (or too much) diet poor in Ca ++ and protein abnormal vitamin D receptors smoking
