Bones Part 1 Flashcards
(42 cards)
List the 6 functions of bones:
1- support
2- protection of soft organs
3- movement
4- mineral storage (Ca and P)
5- blood cell production: bone marrow
6- triglyceride storage: yellow marrow (adipose)
What type of marrow for babies and adults?
baby- red marrow
adult- yellow marrow
What five ways are bones classified?
1- long
2- short
3- flat
4- irregular
5- sesamoid
Femur and Humerus are examples of:
long bones
Carpals and Tarsals are examples of:
short bones
Scapula and Sternum are examples of:
flat bones
Vertebrae is an example of:
irregular bone
Patella is an example of:
sesamoid bone
Which bone type is formed out of tendons?
sesamoid bones
What is the prefix for bone cells?
“osteo”
What are the 4 bone cells?
1- osteogenic
2- osteoblasts
3- osteocytes
4- osteoclasts
Osteogenic cells
- stem cells
- only one to go through cell division
-found in periosteum, endosteum, and canals that house blood vessels
Osteoblasts
- bone builders
- secrete collagen fibers and extracellular matrix (Ca, P)
Osteocytes
- mature bone cells
- maintain bone
- bring in nutrients and excrete waste via plasma membrane
Osteoclast
- bone remodelers
- lysosomes secrete digestive enzymes to destroy bone
Compact bone
- made of osteons
- heavy
Spongy bone
- made of light weight
- trabecular
Zone of resting cartilage
- provides a bridge between epiphysis and epiphysial plate
- small chondrocytes
Zone of proliferating cartilage
- cell division (only zone) making chondrocytes
Zone of hypertrophic cartilage
- mature chondrocytes to maintain bone
Zone of calcified cartilage
- osteoclasts tear down cells
- replaced with new bone cells
Intramembranous ossification
- forms flat bones skull, mandible, clavicle
Endochondral ossification
- all other bones of skeleton form this way
- mesenchymal to cartilage to bone
Greenstick fracture
- seen in children
- one side may fracture, other side bends
