Exam #2 Chapters 6 & 9 Flashcards
(109 cards)
-we defined the skeletal system as _____ plus ____
bones and cartilages
-the study of bone structure and the treatment of bone disorders
osteology
the functions of the ____
- support
- protection
- assist in movement
- mineral homeostasis
- blood cell production
- triglyceride storage
skeletal system
- within certain bones, a connective tissue called red bone marrow produces RBC’s , WBC’s and platelets, a process called ____
- blood cell production
hemopoiesis
-consist mainly of adipose cells, which store triclycerides
yellow bone marrow
-bones store calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals, and release them on demand
mineral homeostasis
- a ____ bone that has greater length and width and consists of :
- diaphysis
- epiphyses
- metaphyses
- periostuem
- medullary canal
- endosteum
long bone
- bone shaft
- main portion of bone
- contains yellow bone marrow
diaphysis
- the proximal and distal ends of bone
- contains red blood marrow
epiphyses
- growing bone, transitional region, contains epiphyseal plate/line
- contains red blood marrow
metaphyses
-a thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the part of the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation
articular cartilage
-connective tissue sheath, where there is no cartilage
periosteum
-is a hollow, contains fatty yellow bone marrow and numerous blood vessels
medullary cavity
- thin membrane of bone forming cells
- lines the medullary cavity
endosteum
-bone is a connective tissue because
____ and ____
extracellular matrix and distance between cells
-in bone, collagen fibers make a framework, then mineral salts are deposited to harden the tissue, this is ____
calcification
-the most abundant mineral salt in bone is ____
calcium phosphate
- unspecified cells derived from the mesenchyme
- they divide and develop into osteopblast
osteoprogenitor cells
- secrete collagen fibers, initiate calcification, surrounding themselves with ECM
- forms bone ECM
- once trapped they differentiate into osteocytes
osteoblasts
- the word ending in _____, of a bone cell or any other connective tissue cell means the cell secretes extracellular matrix
- builds bonefusion
blasts
- mature cells, take care of bone’s metabolism such as exchange nutrients and waste
- do not undergo cell division
osteocytes
-the ending ____, of a bone cell or any other tissue cell means that cell maintains and monitors tissue
cyte
- fusion of as many as 50 monosytes (WBC’s)
- functions in reabsorption,
- contain lysosomal enzymes to breakdown bone extracellular matrix, which is called bone resorption
osteoclast
- contains few spaces, and is the strongest form of bone
- remodels when stressed
compact bone tissue
