Ch 6 The Skeletal System: Bone Tissue Flashcards
How many bones are in the human body
206
how many bones do babies have in their body
over 300
what are the two minerals that are stored in bones
Calcium & Phosphorus
what is the function of the skeletal system?
- Produces blood cells
*Assists with movement - Protects
- Supports
What structure of the long bone is the “shaft” and made of compact/hard bone?
Diaphysis
what is the structure of the long bone that is a hollow area inside diaphysis?
Medullary Cavity
what structure of the long bone is on the ends, made of spongy/soft bone, majority of the bone marrow is found here
Epiphysis
What stucture of the long bone is found on the outer surface of the epiphysis, made of hyaline, & helps decrease friction of a joint
Articular Cartilage
What part of the long bone has a strong membrane covering long bones & is a point of attachement for muscles and ligaments
Periosteum
what is the thin membrane that lines the medullary cavity
Endosteum
where does the periosteum not cover on the long bone
Joint surfaces
This type of Osseous (bone) tissue is hard/dense
Compact Bones
This type of Osseous (bone) tissue contains microscopic unit called Haversian system
Compact Bones
What is the other name for Osteon
Haversian System
This type of Osseous (bone) tissue is found in the shafts of the long bone
compact bone
This type of Osseous (bone) tissue is less dense and is cancellous bone
Spongy Bones
This type of Osseous (bone) tissue is does not have Haversian system, instead tissue is arranged in plates called Trabeculae
Spongy Bones
This type of Osseous (bone) tissue is found on the ends of the long bones and in the center of other bones
Spongy Bones
Define
This process of cartilage and connective tissue changes into bone
Ossification
Define
cells that build new bone
Osteoblasts
Define
Cells that breakdown bone tissue, sculpting the inner bone
Osteoclasts
Define
Another word for Bone cells
Osteocytes
what is the epiphyseal plate composed of?
Zone of:
1. Resting Cartiliage
2. Proliferating Cartiliage
3. Hypertonic Cartiliage
4. Calcified Cartiliage
How does longitudial growth occur for bones
cartilage next to the epiphyseal plate continues to multiply and grow towards the diaphysis
