anatomy and phy chapter 6 Flashcards
Support. Bone is hard and rigid
cartilage is flexible yet strong.
Cartilage in nose, external ear, thoracic cage and trachea
Connect body parts.
Ligaments - bone to bone
Protection
Skull around brain; ribs, sternum, vertebrae protect
organs of thoracic cavity
Movement
Produced by muscles on bones, via tendons.
Ligaments allow some movement between bones but prevent
excessive movement
- Storage. Ca2+ and Phosphorus
Stored then released as needed.
Adipose tissue stored in marrow cavities.
Blood cell production
Bone marrow
Hematopoietic tissue)
that gives rise to blood cells (red =
erythrocytes, white =
leukocytes, and platelets = thrombocytes)
• Bones
Compact bone
– Spongy (trabecular or cancellous) bone
• Cartilages
Hyaline cartilage
– Fibrocartilage
– Elastic cartilage
• Tendons
– Attachment of muscle (skeletal) to bone
Ligaments
Attachment of bone to bone
Osteoblasts (Immature bone cells)
Formation of bone through ossification
or osteogenesis
Ossification
formation of bone by
osteoblasts.
Osteoblasts
communicate through
gap junctions. Cells surround
themselves by matrix.
Collagen
produced by E.R. and golgi.
Released by exocytosis
Precursors of
hydroxyapatite
stored in vesicles, then
released by exocytosis.
fetal
Hyaline cartilage
Osteoclasts (Destructive bone cells
Function: resorption of bone
– Hormonally induced (Parathyroid Hormone – PTH)
– Release enzymes that digest the bone
Osteocytes (Mature bone cells)
Stellate. Surrounded by matrix, but
can make small amounts of matrix to
maintain it.
– Lacunae
spaces occupied by
osteocyte cell body
Canaliculi:
canals occupied by
osteocyte cell processes
