Lecture exam 1 Flashcards
Mature bone cells. Maintain the protein and mineral content of the matrix.
Osteocytes
Immature bone cells. Osteogenesis. Inner & outer surfaces of bone. Produce osteoid. Convert to osteocytes.
Osteoblasts
Involved in making new bone.
Osteogenesis
Organic matrix which becomes mineralized.
Osteoid
Found on innermost layer of periosteum and endosperm lining (medullary cavity) bones. Differentiate to form new osteoblasts. Heavily involved in repair of bones after a break.
Osteoprogenitor
From the same lineage as osteolysis.
Osteoclasts
Secrete acids which dissolve matrix. Release stored amino acids, calcium ions, & phosphate ions.
Osteolysis
General functions of skeletal system
Support, storage of minerals, blood cell production, leverage, protection of organs.
Creates skull bones (frontal and parietal), mandible, clavicle, sesamoid bones
Intramembranous ossification
Development of limbs, vertabrae, & hips.
Endochondral ossification
Flat bones (ex)
bones on the roof of the skull, sternum, ribs, scapula
sutural (Wormian) bones (ex)
Found in the suture lines between the flat bones of the skull
pneumatized bones (ex)
ethmoid
long bones (ex)
humerus, femur, tibia, radius, ulna, fibula
irregular bones (ex)
vertebrae, several bones of the skull
sesamoid bones (ex)
develop inside tendons, patella, around joints of feet and hands
short bones (ex)
carpals and tarsals
Primary ossification site
Diaphysis (fig 5.7)
Secondary ossification site
Epiphysis (fig 5.7)
Elevations & projections (examples)
Process, ramus
Processes @ tendons/ligaments (examples)
Trochanter, tuberosity, tubercle, crest, line, spine
Processes w/adjacent bones (examples)
Head, neck, condyle, trochlea
Depressions (examples)
Fossa, sulcus
Openings (examples)
Foramen, fissure, meatus/canal, sinus/antrum
Compact bone (characteristics)
Dense and solid, resists compression in one direction. Consists of osteons.
Spongy bone (characteristics)
Struts/plates, light/strong, resists compression in multiple directions. Form an open network.
“Little beams”
Trabeculae
Anatomical position
Palms facing forward
Bone matrix composition
Calcium phosphate (2/3). Collagen fibers (1/3)
blood vessels in osteon
Central canal
connect lacunae
Canaliculi
mature bone cells found in lacunae
Osteocytes
osteocytes found here
Lacunae
concentric layers in osteon
Lamellae
Cartilage cells replaced by bone cells
Ossification
Bone formation
Osteogenesis
Deposition of calcium ions into bone tissue
Calcification
Hair growth steps
Active phase, regression phase, resting phase, reactivation phase
