Module 4 Flashcards
Describe the basic structure of Skeletal Cartilage.
Contains no blood vessels or nerves. Surrounded by dense connective tissue of perichondrium that delievers nutrients to the cartilage.
This type of cartilage provides the greatest support, flexibility, and resilence also able to absorb shock
Hyaline Cartilage
This cartilage is similar to hyaline cartilage but contains elastic fibers
Elastic Cartilage
This type of cartilage has collagen fibers that gives it great tensile strength.
Fibrocartilage
Growth of Cartilage: cells secrete matrix against the external face of existing cartilage, preferred and fasted way of growth
Appositional growth
Cartilage Growth: Chondrocytes divide and secrete new matrix expanding the cartilage from within
Interstitial growth
What are the two pars of the skeleton?
Appendicular
Axial
This classification of bone says that they are longer then they are wide, what is the bone and give an example
Long bone
Humerus
Femur
Phalanges
This classification of bone says that cube shaped bones and another branch of this are small bones that grow in tendons what is the bone and give an example
Short bones
Sesamoid bones
Patella
Bones in wrist and foot
This classification of bones is they are flat, thin and sometimes have a slight curve, what is the bone and give an example
Flat bones
sternum
Breast bone
This classification of bone is a bone with a very complicated shape, if a bone is not considered short or flat they are considered this, what is the bone and give an example
Irregular
vertebra
What are the four main functions of bone?
Support
Protection
Movement
Storage
What are the two functions of bone that we couldnt live without?
Blood cell formation
Triglyceride storage
What is the word for blood cell formation in marrow cavities?
Hemopoiesis
Which bone texture is a dense outer layer that is extremely strong and has incredible strength resistance to bend
Compact Bone
Which bone texture is made of trabecular and it is found inside the bone where the marrow is found.
Spongy Bone
What is the diaphysis of a long bone?
the Compact bone that surrounds the medularry cavity, the middle part of the bone
What are the distal and proximal epiphyses?
the top head and bottom head of the long bone that are made of spongy bone
What is contained in the heads of the long bones?
Epiphyseal line- growth plate
Articular cartilage
What is the inner osteogenic layer of the periosteum contain?
Osteoblasts - bone forming
Osteoclasts- bone destroying
Osteogenic cells- stem cells
What secures the periosteum to the underlying bone?
Sharpys fibers
What is the only tissue that can replace itself?
bone tissue
