Bones and Bone Tissue Flashcards
(32 cards)
Red bone marrow
A hematopoietic tissue located with the certain bones that produces all of the formed elements of the blood
Medullary Cavity
The large hollow interior portion of the diaphysis of a long bone
Flat Bone
A bone that’s flat in shape
Bone Remodeling
The continual process of bone growth and bone loss that takes place within the healthy bone
Yellow Bone Marrow
An adipose tissue located within the most bones of an adult
Hematopoiesis
The process of differentiation and maturation of the formed elements of the blood
Sesamoid Bone
A bone located within a tendon
Bone Deposition
The formation of a new bone caused by osteoclasts
Intramembranous Ossification
The process when certain flat bones form from a mesenchymal model
Compact Bone
A hard dense bone that’s located on the exterior part of a bone that’s made up by osteons
Calcitonin
A hormone that’s created by the thyroid gland and it decreases blood calcium ion concentration by stimulating osteoblasts to build bone
Osteon
The functional unit of a compact bone that consists of concentric rings of bone matrix called lamellae that surround the central canal
Long Bone
A bone that’s long
Longitudinal Growth
The growth of long bones
Endochondral Ossification
It’s when bones form from the hyaline cartilage model
Spongy Bone
The tissue located in the bone that’s made up of trabeculae
Epiphyseal Plate
A structure that’s made up from hyaline cartilage from the growth of long bones
Irregular Bone
A bone that has a weird shape and it’s unclassified
Trabeculae
Spicules of bone that create the spongy bone
Bone Resorption
The destruction of bone tissue caused by osteoclasts
Nutrient
A substance that comes from food that the body needs for metabolism
Short Bone
A long bone
Central Canal
A small fluid filled canal that’s located in the center of the spinal cord
Hydroxyapatite
A phosphate based mineral that creates the inorganic portion of the osseous tissue
