Q

– A unit of bone containing central canal and
matrix rings

A

Osteon (Haversian system)

23
Q

– Opening in the center of an osteon
– Carries blood vessels and nerves

A

Central (Haversian) canal

24
– Canal perpendicular to the central canal – Carries blood vessels and nerves
Perforating (Volkman’s) canal
25
– Cavities containing bone cells (osteocytes) – Arranged in concentric rings
Lacunae
25
– Rings around the central canal – Sites of lacunae
Lamellae
25
– Tiny canals – Radiate from the central canal to lacunae – Form a transport system connecting all bone cells to a nutrient supply
Canaliculi
26
what are the Types of Bone Cells?
Osteocytes Osteoblasts Osteoclasts
27
mature bone cells
Osteocytes
28
bone-destroying cells
Osteoclasts
29
bone-forming cells
Osteoblasts
29
a break in the continuity of a bone
Fracture
30
2 Types of bone fractures
Closed (simple) fracture Open (compound) fracture
31
broken bone penetrates through the skin
Open (compound) fracture
32
break that does not penetrate the skin
Closed (simple) fracture
33
Bones are joined by?
sutures
33
The Axial Skeleton divided into 3 parts are?
– Skull – Vertebral column – Bony thorax
34
Repair of Bone Fractures
-Hematoma (blood-filled swelling) is formed * Break is splinted by fibrocartilage to form a callus * Fibrocartilage callus is replaced by a bony callus * Bony callus is remodeled to form a permanent patch
35
Two sets of bones
– Cranium – Facial bones
36
Hollow portions of bones surrounding the nasal cavity
Paranasal Sinuses
37
– Lighten the skull – Give resonance and amplification to voice
Functions of paranasal sinuses
38
* The only bone that does not articulate with another bone * Serves as a moveable base for the tongue * Aids in swallowing and speech
Hyoid Bone
39
is large compared to the infant’s total body length
Fetal Skull
40
fibrous membranes connecting the cranial bones – Allow the brain to grow – Convert to bone within 24 months after birth
Fontanels
41
Each vertebrae is given a name according to its location
Vertebral Column
42
Nine vertebrae fuse to form two composite bones called?
– Sacrum – Coccyx
43
44
45
the spinal curvatures of the thoracic and sacral regions * Present from birth
Primary curvatures
46
the spinal curvatures of the cervical and lumbar regions * Develop after birth
Secondary curvatures
47
Formed by the fusion of five vertebrae
Sacrum
48
Formed from the fusion of three to five vertebrae – “Tailbone,” or remnant of a tail that other vertebrates have
Coccyx
48
Forms a cage to protect major organs * Consists of three parts
Bony Thorax
49
what are the three parts of Bony Thorax?
– Sternum – Ribs – Thoracic vertebrae
