Nursing Anatomy & Physiology
RED MARROW
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -bone marrow found at the
end of the long bones, also manufactures red and white blood cells
OSTEOCYTES
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -They are bone cells that
produce a hard, calcium rich extracellular matrix, and are embedded in a matrix of collagen
and minerals and form the skeleton of an organism
SKELETON
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -the hard structure (bones
and cartilages) that provides a framework for the body, as well as attachment sites for
muscle. Over 200 bones.
AXIAL SKELETON
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -pertaining to the central part
of the body, the head and trunk
APPENDICULAR SYSTEM
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -composed of 126 bones in
the human body. The word appendicular is the adjective of the noun appendage, which
1
itself means a part that is joined to something larger. Functionally it is involved in
Page
,locomotion (Lower limbs) of the axial skeleton and manipulation of objects in the
environment (Upper limbs).
JOINTS
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -is the location at which two
or more bones make contact. They are constructed to allow movement and provide
mechanical support, and are classified structurally and functionally.
ligaments
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -fibrous tissue that connects
bone to bone, to provide stability to joints
tendon
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -the strong connective tissue
cords that attach skeletal muscles to bones
cartilage
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -strong connective tissue that
supports the body and is softer and more flexible than bone
osteoarthritis
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -Inflammation of the bone
and joint
rheumatoid arthritis
2
Page
, support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -A chronic systemic disease
characterized by inflammation of the joints, stiffness, pain, and swelling that results in
crippling deformities
osteoporosis
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -a condition in which the
body's bones become weak and break easily
cardiac muscle
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -muscle tissue found only in
the heart
smooth muscle
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -involuntary muscle found in
internal organs, muscle that forms the walls of the intestine, stomach, blood vessels, and
other internal organs. has individual nucleus cells and no strations
skeletal muscle
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -Vouluntary, striated muscle
that moves bones, works in pairs and is attatched to bones by tendons
flexor
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -a muscle that bends a part of
the body, such as an arm or a leg
extensor
support and movement: the musculoskeletal system - -A muscle that causes
3
extension.
