Intramembranous ossification
The ends of the long bones are called what
Epiphysis
The long part of the bone is called the what; known as what
Shaft of the bone; diaphysis
Blood cells forming tissue is known as
Hematopoietic tissue

Diaphysis
What all is located in the epiphysis?
Spongy bone, red bone marrow, epiphyseal disc
What type of bone marrow fills in the medullary canal in the diaphysis?
Yellow B.M
Where is the primary ossification center located?
In the middle of the diaphysis
Where is the secondary ossification center located?
Epiphysis
Secondary ossification consists of how many layers & of what?
4 layers of hyaline cartilage
The primary ossification center grows in what dirrections?
Center to the ends of epiphysis
Growth hormone that is produce in the pituitary gland is?
Somatotropin
What disorder produces an excessive amount of somatotropin
Acromegaly
A decrease in somatotropin results in a disorder called
A pituitary dwarf
An increase in somatotropin results in a disorder called
Pituitary giant
Where primary blood and lymphatic vessels and nerves run thru bone
Medullary canal
Units of spongy bone
Trabeculate
Functions of bones
Support, movement, storage, protection
What vitamins are required for proper development
A & C
What vitamin is responsible for collagen synthesis
C
What vitamin absorbs bone into blood (occurs during hypocalcemia)
A
What vitamin aids in proper absorption of calcium in small intestines
D
“Hormone of metabolism” produced by thyroid; allows cartilagenous cells in epiphyseal discs to ossify
Thyroxine
Not producing enough thyroxine; correlated with pollution in cities
Hypothyroidism
Skeletal muscles pills on bones, causing stress and making them stronger
Physical stress
Thickening & strengthening of bone
Hypertrophy
Thinning & weakening of bones from lack of physical activity
Atrophy
Any breaks in the bone
Fractures
2 types of fracture causes
Traumatic & pathological
Pathological fractures are also known as
Spontaneous fractures
Types of fracture nature:
Complete/incomplete (does/n’t go thru bone)
Simple/compound (out of skin vs in skin)
Blood clot forms between broken ends of bones
Hematoma
Former knits ends of broken ends with fibrocartilage
Cartilagenous callus
Produce bony callus
Ossification
Osteoclasts & osteoblasts reshape and remodel bone
Reshape/remodel bone
Spinal cord passes
Vertebral foremen
For blood vessels & nerves to pass they (means hole)
Transverse foremen
