ORTHOPEDICS - ANS THE SURGICAL SPECIALTY CONCERNED WITH DIAGNOSIS, CARE, AND TREATMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS (bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons) FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETON - ANS SUPPORT - body kept in position by muscles attached to the skeleton PROTECTION - flat bones protect internal organs MOVEMENT - provided by the joints BLOOD- red bone marrow found in the pelvis, ribs, vertebrae and sternum (FLAT BONES) yellow bone marrow stores fat and can convert to red bone marrow if the body needs additional red cell production (LONG BONES) STORAGE - minerals, mainly calcium and phosphorus, are stored in bone AXIAL SKELETON - ANS CONSIST OF 80 BONES MAKES UP THE SKULL, VERTEBRAE AND RIB CAGE APPENDICULAR SKELETON - ANS CONSIST OF 126 BONES MAKES UP THE LIMBS CLASSIFICATION OF BONES - ANS LONG BONES SHORT BONES FLAT BONES IRREGULAR BONES SESAMOID BONES LONG BONES - ANS LONGER THAN THEY ARE WIDE CONTAIN GROWTH PLATES AT BOTH ENDS (EPIPHYSEAL PLATE) *FEMUR, TIBIA, HUMEROUS ANATOMY OF A LONG BONE - ANS EPIPHYSIS EPIPHYSEAL PLATES DIAPHYSIS METAPHYSIS PERIOSTEUM ENDOSTEUM ARTICULAR CARTILAGE MEDULLARY CAVITY SPONGY BONE - CANCELLOUS COMPACT BONE - CORTICOL EPIPHYSIS - ANS ENDS OF A LONG BONE EPIPHYSEAL PLATES - ANS GROWTH PLATES FOUND IN LONG BONES ONLY DIAPHYSIS - ANS SHAFT OF A LONG BONE PERIOSTEUM - ANS FIBROUS MEMBRANE THAT COVERS BONES BUT NOT JOINTS. INVOLVED WITH BONE GROWTH, REPAIR, NUTRITION, & POINT OF ATTACHMENT FOR TENDONS / LIGAMENTS *NO LONGER STRIPPED FROM THE BONE BECAUSE ITS BELIEVED TO ASSIST IN HEALING ENDOSTEUM - ANS THIN LAYER OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE THAT LINES THE INSIDE SURFACE OF BONES ARTICULAR CARTILAGE - ANS HYALINE CARTILAGE FOUND COVERING THE EPIPHYSIS OF LONG BONES WHERE THEY FORM A JOINT WITH ANOTHER BONE MEDULLARY CAVITY - ANS SPACE WITHIN THE DIAPHYSIS THAT CONTAINS FATTY YELLOW BONE MARROW IN ADULTS SPONGY BONE - ANS CANCELLOUS BONE FOUND IN THE EPIPHYSIS OF LONG BONES COMPACT BONE - ANS CORTICOL BONE THE HARD, DENSE,LAYER OF THE BONE FOUND JUST UNDER THE PERIOSTEUM
