Bone
Bone is an organ made up of several different tissues working together:
- bone (osseous) tissue
- cartilage
- dense connective tissue
- epithelium
- adipose tissue
- nervous tissue
the entire framework of bones and their cartilages
Skeletal System
the study of bone structure and the treatment of bone disorders
Osteology
osteo means
bone
logy means
study of
Skeletal System: Functions
- support
- protection
- Assistance in movement
- Mineral homeostasis (storage and release)
- Blood cell production
- Triglyceride storage
what cells store triglycerides?
adipose cells
is one that has greater length than width
Long bone
A typical long bone consists of the following parts:
- Diaphysis
- Epiphyses
- Metaphyses
- Articular cartilage
- Periosteum
- Medullary cavity
- Endosteum
Diaphysis means
(growing between)
is the bone’s shaft or body
Diaphysis
the long, cylindrical, main portion of the bone
Diaphysis
Epiphyses means
growing over
are the proximal and distal ends of the bone
Epiphyses
meta means
between
are the regions between the diaphysis and the epiphyses
Metaphyses
a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis of the bone to grow in length
Epiphyseal (Growth) Plate
is a thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the part of the epiphysis
Articular Cartilage
where the bone forms an articulation (joint) with another bone
Articular Cartilage
peri means
around
is a tough connective tissue sheath and its associated blood supply that surrounds the bone surface wherever it is not covered by articular cartilage.
Periosteum
periosteum has an
outer fibrous layer and inner osteogenic layer
medulla means
marrow, pith
