Study Notes
The Skeletal System
- The skeletal system includes more than just bones; it also includes cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.
- Osteoblasts build new bone tissue.
- Bone marrow is found in both spongy and compact bone.
- The periosteum is the outer covering of a bone, while the endosteum lines the marrow cavity.
- Osteocytes are mature bone cells responsible for maintaining bone tissue.
- The main functions of bones include serving as levers for movement, providing support and structure, protecting vital organs, storing minerals (like calcium and phosphorus), and housing bone marrow, where blood cells are produced.
- Compact bone is found in the shafts of long bones and the outer layer of other bones.
- Osteoclasts are derived from monocytes, a type of white blood cell.
- Hematopoiesis, the process of blood cell formation, occurs in red bone marrow.
- The Haversian system is found in compact bone, not spongy bone.
