Chapter 7: Bone Tissue Flashcards
(43 cards)
Functions of the Skeleton
Support Protection Acid/base balance Movement Electrolyte balance Blood Formation
Flat Bone
thin curved plates
ex: cranial bones, shoulder blades, sternum
Long Bones
Important in Movement
Bones of the limbs
Short Bones
same width and length
ex: wrist and ankles, patella
Irregular Bones
anything else
ex: vertebrae
Compact Bone
Covers entire bone
Marrow Cavity
contains bone marrow
Spongy Bone
ends of bone
Diaphysis
shaft
Epiphysis
head
Articular Cartilage
layer of hyaline cartilage
on joint surface
Nutrient Foramina
holes for blood vessels
Periosteum
though collagen sheath that covers bone
Endosteum
reticular connective tissue that lines the internal marrow cavity and covers spongy tissue
Epiphyseal Plate
hyaline cartilage that separates marrow of the head and shaft
Epiphyseal Line
Marks where the plate used to be
Osteogenic Cells
Stem Cells
*give rise to other types bone cells
Osteoblasts
bone forming cells
Osteoclasts
bone dissolving cells
*on bone surface
Osteocytes
former osteoblasts that have become trapped in the matrix they deposited
Red Bone Marrow
in children, produces blood cells
Yellow Bone Marrow
in adults, red marrow that turns fatty
Intramembranous Ossification
produces the flat bones of the skull and clavicle
bones develop within fibrous sheet similar to the dermis of skin(dermal bone)
Endochondral Ossification
hyaline cartilage modle is created and replaced with osseous tisse
begins 6th week of fetal development- 20s
