(96 cards)
Give some functions of the bones.
Supportive framework of the body.
Protect vital organs.
Act as biomechanical levers on which muscles act to produce motion.
What minerals are in bones?
Calcium and Phosphorus
Blood cell formation otherwise knowns as
Hemopoiesis
Give all the bone features
Diaphysis
Epiphysis
Metaphysis
Epiphyseal Plate
Articular Cartilage
Main shaft of the bone
Diaphysis
Proximal and distal ends of the bone
Epiphysis
Between diaphysis and epiphysis
Metaphysis
Layer or cartilage present in kids
Epiphyseal plate
Smooth white tissue that covers the ends of bones.
Articular cartilage
Two major bone types
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts
Specialized cells for bones
Osteogenic cells
Found in the surface of the bone, involved in bone formation/deposition. Make collagen fibers and form the matrix of the bone.
Osteoblasts
These are mature bone cells
Osteocytes
Embedded deep in the bone, involved in resorption/ breakdown of bone tissues.
Osteoclasts
More solid form (bone)
Compact bone
Spongy bone
Cancellous bone
For compact bone what is it called?
Osteon (Haversian Canal)
For cancellous bone what is it called?
Trabeculae
Name all the bones in the osteon
Volkman’s Canal
Concentric and Interstitial Lamellae
Lacuna
Canaliculus
Passageway of blood vessels
Volkman’s Canal
Rings of extracellular matrix
Concentric and interstitial lamellae
Spaces between lamellae contain osteocytes
