- Leverage (how body moves)
- Storage (calcium)
- Blood cell formation
-
Osteoblasts
Cells that create bone and therefore make the bone matrix, which is made up of minerals , collagen fibers, and proteogycan. the organelles inside osteoblasts have many ribosomes, rough ER, and goldi appartus because they modify and produce proteins that will be useful out side of the cell and become ostocytes
-
Haversain Canal
Contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves

-
Osteocyte
Surrounded by bone matrix
-
Osteon
Layers of bone tissue (bone matrix and cells)
-
Purpose of Foramina (foramens) in body
- Foramen is hole in the bone
- Purpose is to allow nerves, blood vessels and lymph vessels through the bone
-
Examples and functions of Foramens
- Pelvic Foramen or Obturator - has two holes to to make that region lighter
- Vertebaral Foramen - houses spinal cord
- Magnum Foramen - In the occipital bone which allows spinal cord to enter skull
-
Agonist or Prime Mover
Muscle or muscle group that directly produces a desired action
-
Antagonist
Muscle or muscle group that directly opposes the action
-
Synergist
Muscle that contacts at the same time as a prime mover and assists in the same action of a prime mover
-
Fixator
Muscle that stablizes joints to allow other movements to take place

-
Troponin
Protein present on actin filament that acts as a receptor for calcium
-
tropomyosin

-
3 Circulatory Systems
- Systemic
- Pulmonary
- Coronary
-
Systemic Circulation
- Provides blood flow to and away from body tissues
- Delivers oxygenated blood to body tissues
- Delivers deoxygenated blood to heart
