Anatomy Of A Long Bone Flashcards
Terms often begin with F
Depressions or cavities
Shaft
Diaphysis
Ends of the bone
Epiphysis
Secure periosteum to underlying bone
Perforating (Sharpey’s) fibers
Fibrous connective tissue membrane
Periosteum
Supply bone cells with nutrients
Arteries
Covers the external surface of the epiphyses
Articulate cartilage
What does the articulate cartilage do
Decreases friction at joint surfaces
Flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young growing bone
Epiphyseal plate
Part of long bone composed mostly of spongy bone
Epiphysis
What marrow is for blood cell formation in infants
Red marrow
Where is epiphyseal line seen
Adult bone
Outside covering of the diaphysis
Periosteum
Bone markings that are Indentations
Depressions or cavities
Cavity inside of the shaft
Marrow (medullary) cavity
What is the articulate cartilage made of
Hyaline cartilage
Remnant of epiphyseal plate
Epiphyseal line
Part of long bone composed mostly of compact bone
Diaphysis
Where is red marrow in adults located
Cavities of spongy bone and epiphyses of some long bones
Bone marking hat grow out from the bone surface
Projections or processes
Adults contain what kind of marrow
Yellow marrow which is mostly fat
Terms often being with T
Projections or processes
Hollow
Cavity
What are bones marking for?
Sites of attachments for muscles tendons and ligaments
Passages for nerves and blood vessels
