1. What are the functions of the skeletal system - Support - Protection - Mineral storage – Movement
2. Describe cells associated with bone - Osteoblasts: a bone forming cell; manufactures and secretes the
organic component(osteoid) of bone matrix. - Osteocytes: mature bone cell; cells that do not add to the
bone matrix but are able to maintain what’s already there. - Osteoclasts: bone digesting(resorbing) cell;
manufactures and secretes collaginases and proteases to degrade osteoid and acid phosphatases and
acids
3. What are the basic stages of both endochondral and intramembranous - Endocondral Ossification:
Step 1: Cartilage model formation Step 2: Formation of bone collar and loss of cartilage matrix
Step 3: Periosteal bud begins ossification inside the developing bone Step 4: Formation of spongy
bone and medullary cavity - Intramenbranous Ossification: Step 1: Membrane model formation
Step 2: Bone matrix formation Step 3: Periosteum develops Step 4: Compact bone formation
4. State types of bone fractures o Transverse o Linear o Oblique nondisplaced o Oblique displaced o Spiral
o Greenstick o Comminuted
5. Describe Rickets caused by lack of calcium or vitamin D in children — Characterized by softness of
bones leading to pain and bending of the bones — Calcium and Vitamin D supplementation prevents
rickets — Osteomalacia: bone softening associated with lack of calcium or vitamin D in adult
6. Describe the different ways in which joints can be classified, and the sub-categories of each
- Structural Classes: based on the type of intervening tissue (holding the bones together) o Fibrous
(joints) Examples: suture, syndesmosis, and gomphosis Suture: Short fibers hold the bones
together Fontanels in infants These joints ossify (form a synostosis) in adults Immoveable joint
