Q

mineral reabsorption

A
  • performed by osteoclasts

- removes calcium from bones so it can enter blood stream

Q

central (haversian) canal

A
  • passage way for nerves and vessels

- runs parallel within center of each osteon connected by perpendicular and oblique perforating canal (volksmann canal)

A
  • few osteon
  • lighter
  • serves as location for bone marrow to reside

16
Q

yellow bone marrow

A
  • present within medullary cavity of adult long bones

- primarily compose of adipose

17
Q

long bones

A

have pronounced longitudinal axis, provide mechanical advantages of levels where they articulate with other bone

18
Q

hinge joints

A

extends distal bone along 1 plane

Ex: elbow and knee

19
Q

ball and sockets

A
  • where long bone articulate with other bones

- allows for abduction, adduction, circumduction, and rotation

20
Q

short bones

A

articulates as sliding joints

Ex: wrist, ankle, patella, clavicle

21
Q

flat bones

A
  • based on shape, not hallow but contains marrow

- some connects with each other

22
Q

irregular bones

A

nonsymmetrical shape

23
Q

At point where bones are involved in articulations, bone-joint interfaces are protected by covering of what?

A

hyaline cartilage

24
Q

osteoarthritis

A
  • wear down of cartilage

- inflammation and pains of joints occur

25
rneumatoid arthritis
- causes inflammation and pains in joints | - caused by autoimmune system
26
achondroplastic dwarfinism
resulting short stature of ind. when epiphysical plate stop growing at premature age
27
periosteum
fibrous sheath that covers bone and contains nerve and blood vessels
28
collagen
primary structure protein of connective tissue
29
canaliculi
small channel or duct in ossified bone
30
cartilage
tough, elastic connective tissue found in parts of the body (ears)
31
lamellae
layers of bone, tissue, or cell walls
32
brittle bone disease
group of disease that affect the collagen and results in fragile bones
33
synovial joints
most common and freely movable | -ex: shoulders and knees
34
cartilaginous joints
fills the spaces between some bones and restrict movements
35
fibrous joints
have fibrous tissue connecting bones and no cavity is present
36
trabeculae
network of girders with open spaces filled with red bone marrow
