Seeley's Anatomy and Physiology 10th
Ed. Skeletal System (Bones and Bone
Tissue)
What are the five functions of the skeletal system? - ✔️✔️Support, protection,
movement, storage, blood cell production
What are the three types of cartilage? - ✔️✔️hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, and
elastic cartilage
What are the four componenets of the skeletal system? - ✔️✔️bones, cartilage,
tendons, and ligaments
Ligaments - ✔️✔️strong bands of fibrous connective tissue that attach to bones and
hold them together
tendons - ✔️✔️strong bands of connective tissue that connect bone to skeletal muscle
chondroblasts - ✔️✔️Cartilage cells that produce matrix
chondrocyte - ✔️✔️Cartilage cells surrounded by matrix
Lacuna - ✔️✔️A crater in the matrix where chondrocytes are located
perichondrium - ✔️✔️double-layered connective tissue sheath covering most cartilage
Articular cartilage - ✔️✔️hyaline cartilage that covers the ends of bones where they
come together to form joints, has no perichondrium, blood vessels, or nerves
appositional growth - ✔️✔️chondroblasts in the perichondrium add new cartilage to the
outside edge of the existing cartilage
interstitial growth - ✔️✔️chondrocytes within the tissue divide and add more matrix
between the existing cells
Osteoblasts - ✔️✔️bone- forming cells, have an extensive endoplasmic reticulum and
numerous ribosomes. They produce collagen and proteoglycans
Ossification - ✔️✔️formation of bone by osteoblasts. occurs by appositional growth
