Q

Why do adults have more yellow marrow than children?

A

Yellow marrow is long-term mineral and energy storage. Kids need red marrow to make more blood as they grow

A

The shaft

52
Q

What is the metaphysis of a long bone?

A

The region between the shaft and the epiphysis

53
Q

What is the epiphysis of a bone?

A

The end

54
Q

What is the apophysis of a long bone?

A

Outgrowth that attaches ligaments/tendons. Ex. trochanter

55
Q

What does the medullary cavity contain in adults and children?

A

Yellow marrow in adults, red marrow in children

56
Q

What is the name for compact bone?

A

Cortical bone

57
Q

What is the name of spongey bone?

A

Cancellous bone

58
Q

Where is the endosteum?

A

59
Q

What kind of tissue is the periosteum?

A

Dense irregular connective tissue

60
Q

What are the 3 stages of a bone cell growing?

A
  1. Osteogenic cell
  2. Osteoblast
  3. Osteocyte
61
Q

What cell creates osteoid?

A

Osteoblast

62
Q

When does an osteoblast become and osteocyte?

A

When the bone is mineralized and the cell is stuck in place

63
Q

What is the role of an osteocyte?

A

Maintain bone tissue and signal to other cells

64
Q

What is an osteon?

A

The columnar building block of compact bone

65
Q

What are the lamallae?

A

The rings that form an osteon

66
Q

What is the difference between a central canal and a perforating canal?

A

Central canal runs through center of the osteon. Perforating canal runs run’s perpendicular to osteon.

67
Q

What is the “bed” of an osteocyte called?

A

Lacunae

68

What is the canal that connects lacunae called?

A

Canaliculi

69
Q

What is the trabeculae?

A

The building block of spongey bone

70
Q

Why doesn’t a trabecula have central blood vessels like an osteon?

A

It is surrounded by blood vessels

71
Q

What cells are responsible for trabecular remodeling?

A

Osteoblasts and osteoclasts

72
Q

Why do trabeculae undergo remodeling?

A

In response to lines of stress from movement

73

A

Messenchyme

75
Q

What process turns fetal framework of hyaline cartilage into bone?

A

Endochondral ossification

76
Q

What does bone replace and not replace in endochondral ossification?

A

Bone replaces cartilage, except the articular cartilage and epiphyseal plates

77

A

Interstitial growth

Occurs at epiphyseal plates

78
Q

What is the name for bone growth the wiiiiiide way? Where does it occur?

A

Appositional growth

Occurs at the periosteum and endosteum

79
Q

What is the mechanism and cause of osteomalacia? What is it called in children?

A

Lack of mineralization of bone results in low bone density

Caused by vitamin D or calcium deficiency

Called rickets in children. Presents soft and weak bones & bowed legs

80

A

Excessive bone resorption

Aged/post-menopausal are most subject to this
