Chapter 6 Bones And Bone Structure Flashcards
Functions of the skeletal system: 
support, storage of minerals, whippets, and blood cell production, protection and leveage (change direction of force)
6 Bone categories:
Sutural bones, irregular bones, short bones, flat bones, long bones, and Sesamoid bones
Sutural Bones: Flat: Skull Between Cranial Bones - Irregular: Complex shape, short flat, notched or ribbed. Vertebrae, Pelvis, Skull - Short: Boxlike, Carpal (wrist) or Tarsal (ankle
Flat: Thin parallel surface, Skull, Sternum, ribs, sacpulae (shoulder), Protection of underlying tissue, Extensive area for muscle attachment - Long Bones: Long slender, arm, leg, forearm, thigh, palms, fingers soles toes - Sesmoid: Seed shaped, small round, Knee, Hands, Feet. (Petella)
A long bone has: Test
Diaphysis (Extended Tubular Shaft), Epiphyses (Expanded Ends “Spongy Bone” Trabecular Bone), Metaphyses (Where Diaphsis and Epiphysis are connected) Medullary Cavity (Bone Marrow)
Bone Marrow Blood Production - Red Blood Cells
Bone Tissue “Ensheated” by Perioteum
Bones are classified by shape and structure
Two types of bone tissue: compact bone and spongy bone
The Medullary Cavity and Spongy Bone contains:
Red and Yellow bone marrow
Bone Shapes
Sutural (small flat irregular), Irregular (Complex shape), Short Bones (Boxy (Carpal Bones), Flat (Thin Parallel surfaces), Long Bones (slender ends are wider) Sesamoid Bone (Seed Shaped - Petella)
Bone matrix: Hydroxyapatite, Calcium Crystals
Bone without calcified matrix is flexible
Osteogenic cells differentiate into Osteoblasts.
Osteoblasts synthesize new bone matrix
Osteocytes and Canaliculi assists in bone repair
Osteoclasts dissolve the matrix through Osteolysis
Osteoporosis - severe loss of bone mass, 45 and up,
29% Women, 18% Men, Sex Hormones help maintain bone mass
The functional unit of compact bone is Osteon
Lamellae surrounds the Osteon
Osteons contain Osteocytes
Osteocytes - Mature bone Cells, in Lactunae
Spongy bone is located where stresses are limited
Process - Projection or Bump. Muscles attach
Exercise - lessen Osteoporosis (esp women)
Bones, Intestines, Kidneys affect Calcium ION concentration.
Ossification is the process of bone formation
Calcification ____ is the process of depositing calcium salt
Skull: Ramus - Part of bone that forms angle to the rest of the bone. Sinus - Chamber (with air). Foramen - Round hole, Blood Vessels and Nerves
Fissure - Deep Furrow Clef or slit, Meatus - Passage or channel (canal)
Canal - Duct or Channel
Endochondral Ossification ____is cartilage replaced by bone at metaphysis
Formation of the Epiphyseal Line differs from person to person
Osteoclasts: Regulated by Hormones
3 major sets of blood vessels supply blood to the bones
Exercise, nutrition ____and hormones affect bone development
2/3 of weight of bone ____is Calcium Phosphate Crystals
Shape and Thickness of bones reflect stresses on them
Vitamins for bone growth ____is C and D
Osteopenia effects ____the aging, Begins age 30 - 40, Women lose 8% per year, Men 3%,
Osteopenia - Non Pathological Bone Loss
