Bone And Bone Tissue Flashcards
How many bones in the adult human body
206
Functions of bone in the body
-Support
-Shape
-Protection
-movement
-electrolyte balance
Blood production
Acid base balance
Classification of bones
- long
- short
- irregular
- flat
Have a very long axis
Longer than wide
Work like levers to move limbs
Long bones
Examples of long bones
Femur of the thigh
Humerus of the arm
Thin, flat, often curved bones that protect organs
Provide a large surface area for the attachment of muscles
Flat bones
Examples of flat bones
Skull
The ribs
Breastbone(sternum)
Shoulder blades (scapulae)
Clustered in groups and come in various sizes and shapes
Irregular bones
Examples of irregular bones
-vertebrae
-facial bones
Seasamoid bones (kneecap)
Broad as they are long and tend to be shaped like cubes
Short bones
Examples of short bones
- carpal bones of the wrist
- tarsal bones of the ankle
Key structures of the long bone
-epiphysis
-articulate caartilage
Medullary cavity
Endosteum
Red & yellow bone marrow
Diaphysis
Periosteum
Inflammation of the bone and marrow, usually the result of a bacterial infection
Osteomyelitis
Head of each end of the long bone
Strengthens the joint
Allows an expanded areas for attachedmnet of tendons and ligaments
Made of porous-looking spongy bone
Epiphysis
Covering the surface of the epiphysis is a thin layer of hyaline cartliage
Articulate cartilage
Central hollow portion
Medullary cavity
Central shaft-like portion of the bone
Thick, compact bone makes up this hollow cylinder
Gives Bon the strength it needs to support a large amount of weight
Diaphysis
Inside of the medullary cavity is lined with thin epithieal memebrane
Edosteum
Dense fibrous membrane that covers the diaphysis
Periosteum
Another word for bone
Osseous tissue
Type of connective tissue that consists of cells, fibres, extracellular material and matrix
Bone
Cells that bones include
Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
Osteocytes
Helps form bone by secereting substances that comprise the bones matriz
Osteoblasts
Dissolve unwanted or unhealthy bone
Osteoclasts
Mature osteoblasts that have become entrapped in the hardened bone matrix
Dual role
-some dissolve bone while others deposit new bone
Osteocytes
Consits of collagen fibres and crystalline salts (calcium and phosphate) is hard an calcified
Matrix
Collagen fibres in the matrix make bone highly resistant to stretching forces
Tensile strength
Calcium salts allow bones to resist strong squeezing forces
Compressional strength
Bone lacks the ability to endure twisting
Torsional strength
Types of bone tissue
- spongy bone
- compact bone
Light, porous
Found at then ends of long bones and in the middle of most other bones
Always surrounded by more durable impact bone
Spongy bone
Dense, solid
Offers strength
Forms the salts of long bones and outer surfaces of other bones
Compact bone
The latticework of bone of spongy bone
Design to add strength without adding weight
Trabeculae
Consits of an elaborate network of canals and passageways containing nerves and blood vessels
Compact bone
Concentric, onion-like rings in compact bone
Lamellae
Type of soft tissue that fills the medullary cavity of long bones as well as the spaces of spongy bones
Bone marrow
2 types of bone marrpw
Red and yellow bone marrow
Bone marrow charges with producing red blood cells
Nearly all of child’s bones contain this
Red bone marrow
Red marrow gradually replaced with fatty ______
No longer produces blood cells
In cases of severe, chronic blood loss or anemia it can change back to red marrow
Yellow marrow
Process of sartilage and fibrous connective tissue envolving into bone
Ossification
Areas of a newborn skull that still consits of fibrous connective tissue
Is completely ossified by age 2
Fontanels or soft spots
Begins when groups of stem cells in the tissue differentiate into osteoblasts
Clusters of osteoblasts deposit Martinez material and collagen
Calcium salts are deposited and the bone is calcified
Intramembranous ossification
Bones that go through intramembranous ossification
Skill and face
After about three months gestation, fetus’ skeleton is mostly cartilage begins to turn into bone, beginning with long bones
Endochondral Ossification
Bone lengthening occurs at the epiphyseal plate
True
Destroying old bone
Resorption
Depositing new bone
Ossification
The process of destroying old bone and making new bone
Remodelling
The maintence of none density depends upon a balance between the work of osteoclasts and osteoblasts
True
Factors that effect bone growth and maintenance
- heredity
- Nutrition
- Hormones
- exercise
Condition in which bones lose so much mass that they become extremely brittle
Osteoporosis
A break in a bone
Fracture
Broken bones can be manipulated into thin poriginal position without surgery
Closed reduction
Surgery is needed to reposition the bones ( screws, pins or plates)
OPEN REDUCTION
One in which the bone remains aligned and the surrounding tissue intact
Simple fracture
Bone has pierced the skin
Increased risk for infection
Compound
Fracture is incomplete
Typically occurs in young children
Green stick
Bone is broken into pieces
Most likely to occur in car accidents
Comminuted
Resulting from a twisting force
Jagged ends often make this fracture difficult to realign
Sprial
Break in a diasesed or weakened bone
Pathologic
Most fractures occur because bones lack
Torsional strength
The head of long bone is called the
Epiphysis
The periosteum is crucial to bone survival because it
Contains blood vessels and bone forming cells
Which part of the bone produces blood cells
Red bone marrow
The type of bone found in the ends of long bones and in the centers of most other bones is
Cancellous bone
What effect does physical stress have on bone
It stimulates osteocytes to create new bone
A fetus’ first skeleton s composed primarily of
Cartilage
What is the name of the basic structural unit of bone
Osteon
What is the name of a fracture in which the bone pierces the skin
Compound
Flat or rounded areas that allow for join formation
Articulations
Surface features of bones
- articulations
- projections
- depressions
- passages
Examples of articulations
- condyle
- facet
- head
Examples of projections
- crest
- epicondyle
- process
- spine
- trochanter
- tubercle
- tuberosity
Examples of depressions
-fossa
Fovea
Sulcus
