Exam 1 Flashcards
(109 cards)
Chondroblasts:
Chondrocytes:
- Produce Matrix for cartilage (immature cells)
2. (mature) Cells surrounded by matrix in spaces called lacunae
Interstitial Growth:
Appositional Growth:
- From within the cartilage
2. Along the cartilage periphery
3 types of cartilage:
Hyaline: Articular surfaces and nose
Fibrocartilage: Vertebral processes, pubic symphysis
Elastic Cartilage: Pinna of the ear
4 functions of bone:
- Support/Protection
- Hemopoiesis
- Movement
- Storage of mineral and energy reserves
What is articular cartilage?
A thin layer of hyaline cartilage at articulations to reduce friction
What are the 4 types of bones
Long bones
Short bones
Irregular bones
Flat bones
The ____ of a bone is the attachment sites for ligaments and tendons.
Epiphysis
The metaphysis, between the epiphysis and diaphysis, contains the _______.
Epiphyseal growth plate
What is the medullary cavity?
Hollow, cylindrical space in diaphysis that contains yellow bone marrow.
Osteoblasts:
Osteoclasts:
- Lay down matrix for new bone
2. Nuclear cells that dissolve bone matrix and release calcium
The _____ covers external surfaces of bone and is anchored by ______ in the bone matrix.
- Periosteum
2. Perforating Fibers
Osteoprogenitor cells:
Produce more osteoblasts or stem cells
Osteocytes:
Maintain bone matrix and detect mechanical stress
Spongy bone is made up of an open lattice of narrow plates called ______
Trabeculae
Canaliculi:
Small passageways that allow osteocytes to pass through them and communicate.
Osteon:
Mature functional unit of compact bone
Epidermal Layer (3):
- Avascular
- Made up of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
- Has 5 layers
Stratum Basale (5):
- Single layer of mitotic cells
- Adjacent to the dermis
- Keratinocytes (produce keratin/waterproof skin)
- Melanocytes (produce melanin for pigment)
- Tactile cells (sensitive to touch)
Stratum Spinosum (3):
- Many layers thick
- S. Basale daughter cells differentiate into highly specialized non-dividing keratinocytes
- Contains epidermal dendritic cells (Immune defense and phagocytosis)
Stratum Granulosum (3):
- 3-5 layers of keratinocytes
- Fully keratinized cells are dead
- Forms epidermal water barrier
Stratum Lucidum (2):
- Thin, translucent, 2-3 layers thick
- Cells lack organelles, filled with eleidin-intermediate product of keratin maturation
Stratum Corneum (3):
- Most superficial layer
- 23 layers thick
- Made up of dead keratinocytes
Thick vs. Thin Skin (2):
- Thick skin contains all 5 epidermal layers
- Thin skin doesn’t contain stratum lucidum
Dermis is composed of ________
Areolar and dense irregular connective tissue
