6.3 bone anatomy Flashcards
what is the traditional model for overall bone structure
a long bone
the center portion of the bone, and composed primarily compact bone tissue
the diaphysis
the diaphysis is composed primarily of compact bone tissue, surrounding a hook center called the
medullar cavity
the ends of a long bone that are mostly spongy bone with an outer layer off compact bone are called
epiphyses
within joints, the end of a long bone is covered with hyaline cartilage called
articular cartilage
Aka growth plate and is located between the epiphysis and the diaphysis
the epiphyseal plate
growth in bone length occurs at the
epiphyseal plate
when bones stop growing in length, the epiphyseal plate becomes ossified and is called the
epiphyseal line
the cavities of spongy bone and the medullar cavity are filled with
marrow
_____ marrow is the site of blood cell formation
red
____ marrow is mostly adipose tissue
yellow
connective tissue membrane covering the outer surface of a bone
periosteum
the outer layer of a bone contains ____ _____ and ____
blood vessels and nerves
the inner layer is a single layer of bone cells including
osteoblasts and osteoclasts
a single cell layer of connective tissue that lines the internal surfaces of all cavities within bones and includes osteoblasts and osteoclasts
endosteum
