Ch 6.1 Flashcards
(35 cards)
Diaphysis
Center portion of bone. Composed primarily of compact bone with a hollow center
Medullary cavity
The hollow center of the Diaphysis. Some spongy bone lines the medullary cavity.
Epiphyses
Ends of long bone. Mostly spongy bone with an outer layer of compact bone
Sinuses
within some flat and irregular bones of skull, air fill spaced lined by mucous membranes
Centers of ossification
locations in membrane where ossification begin. These centers expand to form bone by gradually ossifying the membrane. Centers have oldest bone and expanding edges have newest bone
Fontanels
Aka soft spots, have more membrane and have not yet been ossified.
Cartilage model
Hyaline cartilage from which bone will be formed
Bone collar
Compact bone, produced by Osteoblasts, on the surface of the cartilage model
Hypertrophy
Aka Enlarge
increase or growth of cells
Calcified cartilage
When hydroxyapatite is made in the cartilage
Primary ossification center
First area of bone to start ossifying
Secondary ossification center
are created in the epiphyses (ends of bones)
Endosteum
A membrane lining the inner surface of the bony wall
Vitamin D
Necessary for normal absorption of calcium from intestines.
Body can ingest or synthesis vit D
Rate of synthesis increases when exposed to sunlight
Rickets
Disease in children with insufficient vit D. Creates bowed bones and inflamed joints
Osteomalacia
Aka adult rickets
A softening of bone tissues due to calcium depletion
Vitamin C
Necessary for Osteoblasts to synthesize collagen
Scurvy
Vit C deficiency marked by ulceration and hemorrhage in any area of body
Growth horomone
Secreted by anterior pituitary, increases general tissue growth, overall bone growth
Thyroid hormones’
Also required for normal growth of all tissues. Decrease in hormones’ can result in smaller individuals
Reproductive hormones
Also regulate bone growth, cause ossification at epiphyseal plates
Bone remodeling
Osteoclast remove old bone and Osteoblast deposit new bone
Converts woven bone into lamellar bone
Basic multicellular unit BMU
temporary assembly of osteoclasts and osteoblasts that travel through or across bone, these cells remove old bone matrix and replace with new bone matrix
Hemotoma
a localized mass of blood released from blood vessels but confined within an organ or space.
