Bones Flashcards
Long bones
majority of bones in the body
has diaphysis, epiphysis, metaphysis, and periosteum
and cavities
types of bone
flat, irregular, short, long bones
flat bones
shoulder blade bone, skull bones
irregular bones
vertebrae
short bones
cubes in wrists/ankles
diaphysis
shaft of the bone
has medullary cavity
medullary cavity
hallow cavity filled with yellow marrow (fat/energy storage)
medullary capillary
red marrow (blood cell production) in spongey bone
epiphysis
ends of bones that connect/articulate to other bones at joints
proximal and distal ends
metaphysis
area between diaphysis and epiphysis
location of the growth plate (stops to become epiphytal line between ages 18-22)
epiphyseal plate/line
cartilage is replaced with bone everywhere but here after birth
if the growth plate is injured it can cause premature closure of the growth plate (causing odd limb lengths)
plate means it is still growing
line means the growth plate is closed and completely bone
marrow
yellow marrow is fat storage in diaphysis
red marrow is red blood cell production in the epiphysis
yellow marrow can be converted to red marrow if traumatic blood loss
periosteum
outside of bone covered in connective tissue
only place wit pain receptors (fibers ripping causes shin splints)
endosteum
membrane lining the inner surface of bone
articular
connecting at joints
cartilage
hyaline cartilage makes up all of body when a newborn, slowly gets replaced everywhere but epiphyseal plate
compact
no spaces, outside of all bones, cortical bone, can see in gross anatomy
spongy
hallow spaces, cancellous bone, can see with microanatomy
ostogenic
produce new bone stem cells will further differentiate into osteoblasts
osteoblast
responsible for building up bone matrix. will cement into osteocytes
