Skeletal system: bones Flashcards
(16 cards)
what 3 things make the skeletal system?
- bones
- articulations-joints
- associated cartilage
what are the 4 types of tissues that bones are made of?
- bones tissue– osseous tissue
- nervous tissue, cartilage
- fibrous tissue
- connective and epithelial tissue that make up the blood vessels
Define osseous
Bone tissue
What is osteocalcin and what does it do?
- Hormone
- hormone that makes bones
Does osteocalcin increase or decrease blood calcium levels?
explain the process
osteocalcin builds bone so anything that builds bones would decrease blood Ca+ levels
bone is being built.
what hormone does it? and is the blood ca+ levela increasing or decreasing?
osteocalcin
blood hormone levels is decreasing
when does the formation of the bony skeleton happen?
@ the 2nd month of development
what type of bone growth happens from birth to early adulthood?
postnatal bone growth
when does bone remodeling and repair happen?
lifelong
what is another word for osteogenesis?
ossification
what are two types of bone growth?
intramembranous ossification
and
endochondral ossification
define Interstitial (longitudinal) growth
Increase in length of long bones
define Appositional growth
Increase in bone thickness
define Osteoid
the unmineralized, organic collagenous portion of the bone matrix that forms prior to the maturation of bone tissue.
define Osteoblasts
begin the process of forming bone tissue by secreting theosteoidas several specific proteins.
define Perochondrium
layer of dense irregular CTthat surrounds the cartilageof developing bone
