Bone Flashcards
What is the production of red blood cells, wbc, platelets called?
Hemopoises
What does the yellow bone marrow contain?
Consists of adipose tissues, which stores triglycerides and a few blood cells
Do newborns have yellow and red bone marrow?
No, newborns have red bone marrow but with increasing in age it changes from red to yellow
It is a rigid connective tissue with mineralized extracellular
components; provide shape and structure, protect
major organs, muscle attachment, store minerals, and
produce blood cells
Bone
It is a strong, flexible connective tissue; protects joints
and bones; acts as a shock absorber throughout the
body
Cartilage
A fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone
Ligaments
A cord of strong, flexible connective tissue,
similar to a rope; connects muscles to bones
Tendons
Where two or more bones meet to allow movement
Joints
This is the bones shaft, where compact tissue can be found
Diaphysis
Distal and proximal ends of the bone, where the spongy tissue can be found
Epiphysis
Contains a layer of hyalin cartilage
Epiphyseal plate
A site for growth
Epiphyseal plate
Separates the epiphysis and diaphysis
Epiphyseal line
A thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the epiphysis
Articular cartilage
Part of the structure of bones where it absrobs shocks and reduces friction
Articular Cartilage
A tough sheath of dense irregular connective tissue that surround the bone surface
Periosteum
Space within the diaphysis that contains fatty yellow bone marrow in adults
Medullary Cavity
This contains an abundant matrix of intracellular materials that surrounds widely separated cells
Bone or osseous tissue
A thin membrane that lines the medullary cavity
Endosteum
What is the matrix composed of?
25% water, 25% collagen fiber, and 50% crystallized mineral salts
What is the EM composed of?
contains organic (collagen, proteoglycans) and inorganic
(calcium phosphate) materials
This is a tough, ropelike protein
Collagen
Large molecules consisting of many polysaccharides
Proteoglycans
What is the bone matrix consist of?
Small amounts of magnesium hydroxide, fluoride and sulfate
