Bone and Skeletal Flashcards
memorization
What are the functions of the skeletal system?
- Support
- Movement
- Produce Blood cells (Hematopoiesis)
- Mineral storage
- Protects internal organs
What types of marrow are in bone?
Red and yellow
What special function is red marrow associated with?
Hematopoiesis (Production of red blood cells)
Do red blood cells have a nucleus? Why?
No. they eject the nucleus to make room for hemoglobin.
What is yellow marrow’s main component?
Adipose tissue (Fat)
What are the different bone shape classifications? hint (FLISS)
- Flat
- Long
- Irregular
- Sesamoid
- Short
What is the membrane surrounding the outer surface of bone consisting of a dense irregular connective tissue with a cellular inner layer?
Periosteum
What is the membrane lining the medullary cavity?
Endosteum
What is the gross anatomy of a long bone? see book page 221
Proximal Epiphysis(Spongy bone center red marrow)cartilage
Metaphysis(Epiphyseal line)Red marrow
Diaphysis(Yellow bone marrow)
Metaphysis
Distal Epiphysis(spongy bone)cartilage
The Endosteum lines the?
Medullary cavity
What describes an articulation?
A joint: when bone surfaces conform to fit one another
What describes a projection, and what do they do?
An area of bone that is raised, muscle and tendon attachment
What is a foramen?
Opening for blood vessels and nerves to travel through a bone.
What are the cell types found in bone? Which is the stem cell, and which dose not differentiate from this stem cell?
- Osteogenic cell (Stem cell)
- Osteoblast
- Osteocyte
- Osteoclast (not from osteogenic)
What cell would the Osteogenic cell differentiate from, and where are they found?
Mesenchymal cells, Periosteum
What do Osteoclasts do, and where do they come from?
Resorb bone, Myeloid stem cell in red bone marrow
Where would you find an Osteogenic cell, what makes them special?
Deep layers Periosteum, Marrow, only cell in bone that can reproduce
What are Osteoblasts, and where can they be found?
Forms new bone, Periosteum/Endosteum
What are Osteocytes, and where are they found?
Osteoblasts secrete new bone matrix and become encapsulated in Lacuna(e) when matrix calcifies. Once trapped in Lacuna, Osteoblasts differentiate into Osteocytes which maintain the calcified matrix. Found in both compact bone and spongy bone.
Can Osteocytes Replicate themselves?
No
Can an Osteoblast cell Perform replication?
No
