ANAT 150 Chapter 6 Lecture Notes Flashcards
Support
Bone is hard and rigid; Cartilage is flexible yet strong
Protection
Skull around brain; ribs, sternum, vertebrae
Protect thoracic cavity organs
Movement
Produced by muscles attached to bones by tendons (ex: nervous system)
Storage
Calcium & phosphate stored and released.
Adipose tissue is stored in marrow cavities.
Blood Cell Production
Bone marrow that gives rise to blood cells and platelets
What is responsible for blood cell production
Red bone marrow
What are the types of cartilage?
Hyaline cartilage (main type)
Fibrocartilage
Elastic cartilage
The fetal skeleton is made up of ______ cartilage at one point.
Hyaline
Matrix
Collagen fibers for strength
Proteoglycans for resiliency
Perichondrium
Double-layered C.T. sheath
Covers cartilage
(Outer edge surrounding layer)
Articular cartilage
Covers bones at joints; no perichondrium growth
Appositional
Growth in width or diameter
Interstitial
Growth in height
Osteoblasts
Immature bone cells forming bones through ossification or osteogenesis
Osteocytes
Mature bone cells surrounded by matrix, but can make small amounts of matrix to maintain it
Osteocytes are surrounded by a cavity or pit called a ______
Lacuna
Canaliculi
Many tiny canals are that radiate from each lacuna that has osteocyte processes
Osteoclasts
Destructive bone cells; cause bone resorption
Woven bone
Crude type bone tissue with collagen fibers randomly oriented
First bone type to form by osteoblasts during ossification
During fetal development, growth, and fracture repair
Lamellar bone
Mature type bone tissue; in sheets called lamellae
Fibers are oriented in one direction in each layer, but in different directions in different layers for strength
Bone remodeling
Osteoclasts remove old bone, osteoblasts add new
Woven bone is remodeled into lamellar bone
What bone cells are involved in bone remodeling
Osteoclasts, osteoblasts
Histological classification
(Based on tissue type)
- Trabecular (spongy/cancellous) bone
- looks cancerous but isn’t - Compact bone
Structural classification
(Based on physical appearance)
Long bone: length > width (ex: arm)
Short bone: length = width (ex: wrist)
Flat bone: width > length (ex: cranium bone)
Irregular bone: (ex: sphenoid bone)
