Document Summary
Learning objectives lecture 3 & 4: explain the principle functions of the skeletal system. The principle functions of the skeletal system are: Attachment point for muscles, tendons (muscle to bone), and ligaments (bone to bone) to allow for movement. Mineral storage and release of calcium and phosphorus. Certain bones contain red bone marrow which produces new blood cells (hematopoietic tissue: discuss different types of bones based on their classi cation system (tissue type vs. morphology) Sesamoid: compare and contrast cortical bone to spongy bone. Composed of osteons (concentric lamellae around a haversian canal) ***[key. The similarity between the two bones are that they are found in all bones: describe the anatomy of a typical long bone. The long bone can be divided into three unequal parts. At the ends you have an epiphysis, where proximal epiphysis is closer to the trunk and distal epiphysis is farther away from the trunk.
