3 Skeletal System - Sheet1 (1) Flashcards
skeletal cartilage
chondrocytes (cartilage cells)
collagen fiber size…
amino acids 1nm - tropocollagen 300nm - fibrils 1um - fibers 10 um
cartilage types
hyaline & elastic
hyaline cartilage
1.articula: think of joints ends 2.ribs 3.respiratory: larynx 4.nose
elastic cartilage
1.epiglottis 2.ear
types of bone on location
1.axial: skull, vertebral, rib cage 2.appendicular: upper & lower limbs, shoulder, hip
bone classification base on shape
long, short, flat, irregular
long bone
longer than wide - limbs
short bone
wider than long - wrist, ankle
flat bone
thin flattened, usually curvy - skull, ribs
irregular bone
no specific shape - vertebrae, hip
compact bone (gross bone anat.)
outer layer
spongy bone (gross bone anat.)
inner layer (trabeculae, yellow bone marrow, red bone marrow)
difference between red and yellow marrow
red: blood cell production Yellow: fat tissue
importance of red bone marrow
red bone marrow = production of red blood cells
disease assoviated with bone marrow
- leukemia: cancer of blood or bone marrow 2. lumphoma: cancer of white blood cells 3. sickle cell anemia
structure of bone
- diasphysis 2. epiphysis 3. periosteum
Diaphysis
long axis of bone
epiphysis
proximal and distal regions (usually wider than diaphysis)
periosteum
surrounds the bone, rich in blood vessels and connective tissue
cell types
osteoblast, osteocyte, osteoclast
osteoblast cells
bone building/growth
osteocyte cells
bone maintenance
osteoclast cells
bone destruction
compact bone tissue
osteon, central canal, lacuna, lamella, canaliculi
osteon (compact bone)
functional unit of compact bone
central canal (compact bone)
space at center of each osteon - contains blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic system
lacuna (compact bone)
space in lamella containing osteocytes
lamella (compact bone)
tubes made of minerals (made of calcium salt)
Canaliculi (compact bone)
tiny channels radiating from each lacuna - connect osteocytes
spongy bone (microscopic)
osteocytes, not well arranged lamella & canaliculi
bone (chemical) organic
cells, collagen fibers, matrix:proteins & carbohydrates
bone (chemical) inorganic (i.e. no carbon)
minerals:calcium+phosphate, packed minerals+collagen fiber-hard bone
