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
What do you call the process of depositing mineral salts in the framework formed by the collagen fibers of the matrix, which crystallizes and the tissue hardens
Calcification
Hardens and flexibility depends on?
Hard: Crystallized inorganic mineral salts
Flexible: Collagen fibers
What are the four types of bone cells?
Osteogenic, osteoclast, osteoblast, osteocytes
These are unspecialized stem cells that is responsible for the growth and repair
Osteogenic
Bone building cells
Osteoblasts
Mature bone cells
Osteocytes
Bone carving cells that are huge and are found in the endosteum
Osteoclasts
80% of the skeleton is _____ and 20% is _____
Compact bone tissue, and spongy bone tissue
This contains a few spaces. It forms the external layer of all bones
Compact bone tissue
It resists the stresses produced by weight and movement
Compact bone tissue
Rings of bone matrix surrounding the central canal
Lamella
Spaces between the lamella
Lacunae
Tiny canals that transport nutrients and remove waste
Canalicus
Center of osteon and contains blood vessels
Central Canal
Center of osteon and contains blood vessels
Central Canal
Does not contain osteons
Sponge bone tissues
Interconnecting rods or plate of bones. Spaces contain marrow
Trabeculae
Makes up most of the bone tissue of short, flat and irregular bones.
Sponge bone tissue
They are not elongated and have no diaphysis
Short bone
