The Macro Skeletal System
What is the macro gross anatomy?
The macro gross anatomy is the study of organisms with the naked eye.
What is the skeletal system?
The skeletal system is a very important part of the human body this consists of 206 bones, which together with different structures make the joints of the system. Within the skeletal system the structures present are the cartilage, bone tissues, fibrous connective tissues which form the ligaments of the bones Scanlon and Sanders, pp.122, 2014). The skeletal system consists of two main organs these are the ligaments and bones, the skeletal system functions by protecting the internal organs, supporting the body, blood cell production, calcium storage, endocrine regulation and movement (Zimmermann, 2015).

The long bones are the arms, legs, hands and feet. (Anantomy book pp122). Physiology of a long bone the shaft is present this is the diaphysis, with attaching ends which are the proximal and distal epiphysis which are coated with articular cartilage which is the hyaline coating cartilage (Anatomy of the long bone (2/2), 2007 cited from bone fixator 2015) Between the long bone is the metaphysis, where between the metaphysis and epiphysis located are the epiphyseal plates which support bone growth in childhood (Anatomy of the long bone (2/2), 2007 cited from bone fixator 2015). The long bone is covered with thin membrane called the periosteum which consists of the connective tissues and the collagen fibres and fibroblasts. On the inside layer of the periosteum consists of the osteo-progenitor cells (Anatomy of the long bone (2/2), 2007 cited from bone fixator 2015). Within the diaphysis the compact bone is present where the bone forms a hollow canal within the shaft of the long bone. The hollow canal is called the medullary cavity which consists of the adipose tissue this is primarily the yellow bone marrow (Scanlon and Sanders, pp.122, 2014). Within the bone the spongy bone is covered with the compact bone which is the epiphysis. The trabeculae of the long bone consist of red bone marrow. The red bone marrow produces blood and the yellow marrow stores fats within the bone (Anatomy of the long bone (2/2), 2007 cited from bone fixator
