Chapter 5 Flashcards
Exam 2
Types of Connective Tissues in the Skeletal system (3)
1) Bone
2) Ligaments
3) Cartilage
Hard elements in the skelaton
Bone
Dense fibrous connective tissue, attach bones to other bones
Ligaments
Specialized connective tissue, fibers of collagen and elastic in gel-like ground substance (matrix)
Cartilage
Living tissue containing several types of cells involved in forming and remodeling
Bones
Bones have a hard rigid appearance due to
extra-cellular crystals of calcium minerals
5 Functions of Bones
1) Support
2) Protect
3) Movement
4) Blood Cell Formation
5) Mineral storage
Minerals stored in bones (2)
1) Calcium
2) Phosphate
Hard inorganic matrix of calcium salts
Bone
Part of bone, forms shafts and ends, contains marrow space (yellow bone marrow)
Compact bone
Part of bone, contains marrow space
Compact bone
Marrow space contains
Yellow bone marrow (mostly fats)
Part of bone, contains red bone marrow
Spongey (cancellous) Bone
Spongey bone aka
Cancellous
Part of bone, trabeculae supports, stem cells porduce rbc, wbc, and platelets
Spongey (cancellous) Bone
In marrow, help for blood clots
Platelets
Part of bone, connective tissue covering
Periosteum
Growth Plates
Physis
Cells in the Bone (4)
1) Chondroblasts
2) Osteoblasts
3) Osteocytes
4) Osteoclasts
Types of Bones (4)
1) Long
2) Short
3) Flat
4) Irregular
Hold bones together, attach bone to bone, enable movement and provide strength to joints, made of dense fibrous connective tissue
Ligaments
ACL is an example of a
Ligament
Provides support to bone
Cartilage
Attach muscle to bone
Tendon
Types of Cartilage (3)
1) Fibrocartilage
2) Hyaline
3)Elastic Cartilage
Type of Cartilage, thick
Fibro Cartilage
Type of Cartilage, thin and smooth
Hyaline Cartilage
Type of Cartilage, forms embryonic structure (late forms bones)
Hyaline
Type of Cartilage, covers and protects the ends of long bones and joints (protects and reduces friction)
Hyaline
Type of Cartilage, mostly flexible, elastin fibers
Elastic
Intervertebral disks and menisci in knees are an example of what type of cartilage
Fibro
When does bone development begin
In the embryo
Cartilage forming cells
Chondroblasts
Hyaline cartilage formation (by chondroblasts) in 0-2 months of life is a
Model of future bone
Replace cartilage with bone
Osteoblasts
Cartilage starts to dissolve and periosteum starts to develop during
Later fetal development (after 2-3 months)
Blood vessels transport ____to form periosteum during later fetal development
osteoblasts
Primary and secondary ossification sites formed during
Childhood
Hardening of the bones
Ossification
Crystals that deposit to form bone
hydroxyapatite
Elongation of growth plates happens during
Adolescence
Compact bone contains this type of cell
Osteocytes
Bone development is regulated by
Hormones
Hormones involved in bone development
Estrogen and Testosterone
