Q

What are bones composed of?

A

Bone is composed of osseous tissue, cartilage, blood vessels, and nerves.

24
Q

What is osseous tissue?

A

Osseous tissue is a type of hard and mineralized connective tissue that is made up of different types of bone cells

25
Q

What are the 3 types of bone cells?

A

Osteocytes
Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts

26
Q

What are osteocytes?

A

Mature bone cells

27
Q

What are osteoblasts?

A

Bone forming cells responsible for bone growth

28
Q

What are osteoclasts?

A

Bone destroying cells
Useful in the release of calcium and repair of the skeletal system

29
Q

What are the two bone types?

A

Compact bone
Spongy bone

30
Q

What is compact bone?

A

dense connective tissue; hard outer layer of bone.

31
Q

What is spongy bone?

A

loosely structured network of separated connective tissue.
Some cavities in spongy bone are filled with soft tissue called bone marrow.

32
Q

What is the periosteum?

A

Bones are surrounded by a tough exterior membrane called the periosteum.
Contains many blood vessels that supply nutrients to bones.

33
Q

What is compact bone organized into?

A

Compact bone is organized into osteons

34
Q

What are osteons?

A

circular structure surrounding a central (haversian) canal where blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels pass through

35
Q

What are lamellae?

A

Circular rings called lamellae surround the central canals in each osteon

36
Q

What is trabeculae?

A

Spongy bone is the internal tissue of bone
Consists of trabeculae surrounded by bone marrow tissue
Red bone marrow
Yellow bone marrow

37
Q

How are bones classified?

A

Bones are classified based on their shape.

38
Q

What are the 4 types of bone classifications?

A

Long bones
Short bones
Flat bones
Irregular bones

39
Q

What are long bones?

A

Have a shaft with heads on both ends
Contain mostly compact bone
Support weight; movement

40
Q

What are short bones?

A

Generally cube shaped
Contain mostly spongy bone
Stability; movement

41
Q

What are flat bones?

A

Thin, flat, usually curved
Made up of layers of compact bone around a layer of spongy bone
Protection

42
Q

What are irregular bones?

A

Irregular shape
Protection

43
Q

Explain the general growth of bones?

A

In early development, skeleton is made mostly of cartilage made of connective tissue that serves as a template.
Most cartilage is replaced by deposited minerals (e.g. calcium).
In compact bone, new bone cells are added in layers around hollow channels called Haversian canals.
Bone cells called osteocytes become embedded within the new tissue.

44
Q

What are intramembranous bones? EX?

A

Originate within sheetlike layers of connective tissue
Broad, flat bones
Examples: Flat bones of the skull, clavicles, sternum, and some facial bones (mandible, maxilla, zygomatic)

45
Q

What is intramembranous Ossification?

A

Process of replacing embryonic connective tissue to form intramembranous bone:
Mesenchymal cells in primitive tissue differentiate into osteoblasts
Osteoblasts: bone-forming cells that deposit bone matrix around
themselves
When osteoblasts are completely surrounded by matrix, they are now
osteocytes in lacunae
Mesenchyme on outside forms periosteum

46
Q

What are endochondral bones? EX?

A

Begin as masses of hyaline cartilage
Most bones of the skeleton
Examples: Femur, humerus, radius, tibia, phalanges, vertebrae

47
Q

What is endochondral Ossification?

A

Process of replacing hyaline cartilage to form an endochondral bone:
Begin as hyaline cartilage models
Chondrocytes (cartilage cells) enlarge, lacunae grow
Matrix breaks down, chondrocytes die
Osteoblasts invade area, deposit bone matrix
Osteoblasts form spongy and then compact bone
Once encased by matrix, osteoblasts are now osteocytes

48
Q

What is a joint?

A

A joint is where two bones meet that holds bones together and allows for mobility.

49
Q

What are the three parts of joints?

A

Bursae, Ligaments, Tendons

50
Q

What are bursae?

A

Bursae are fluid filled sacs that cushion joints.

51
Q

What are ligaments?

A

Ligaments are strong bands of connective tissue that hold together the bones of a joint.

52
Q

What are tendons?

A

Tendons connect bone to muscles to further stabilize a joint

53
Q

How are joints classified?

A

Joints are classified by the amount of movement allowed

54
Q

What are the three main types of joints?

A

Fibrous joint
Cartilaginous joint
Synovial joint

55
Q

What is a fibrous joint? EX?

A

Generally immovable
Fibrous connective tissue joins bone to bone
Example
Cranium (skull) bones

56
Q

What is a cartilaginous joint? EX?

A

Immovable or slightly moveable
Fibrocartilage found between bones
Example
Ribs
Sternum
Vertebrae
Pelvis

57
Q

What is a synovial joint? EX?

A

Freely movable
Most common type of joint in the body
Example
Elbow joint
