Skeletal system part1 Flashcards
(32 cards)
List the 6 Bone Composition
bone tissue, cartilage, epithelial tissue, fibrous connective tissue, blood, nervous tissue
Expanded end of the bone covered with articular cartilage made of hyaline
Epiphysis
shaft of the bone
Diaphysis
A tough, vascular covering of fibrous tissue that surrounds the bone and functions in the formation and repair of bone tissue
Periosteum
Site for attachments of ligaments and tendons
Processes
passageways for blood vessels and nerves
grooves/openings
forms join with another bone
depression
found in the wall of the shaft
compact bone
it is solid, strong and resistant to bending
compact bone
small chambers where osteocytes are located
lacunae
circles created by the formation of the lacunae
osteonic canals
cylinder created by clusters of osteocytes around osteonic canals
osteon/haversian canals
F/B Each canal has one or two ______ and a _____
capillaries and a nerve
carry larger vessels and nerves that communicate with the surface of the bone and the medullary cavity
communicating canals/volksman canal
found in the epiphysis
spongy bone
made of numerous branching plates
spongy bone
irregular spaces help reduce weight
spongy bone
helps produce strength during forces of compression
spongy bone
develop from layers of sheets
intramembranous bones
F/B The mature bone cells are
osteocytes
develop first as hyaline cartilage
endochondrial bones
F/B Most bones start as cartilage and undergo _____, the bone formation process
ossification
Explain the length of bone growth
bone develops as cartilage and is added to the epiphyseal disks
Explain the growth of bones
in thickness is due to depositing of compact bone on outside and eroding on the inside (this erosion creates the medullary cavity)
