Bone Tissue Flashcards
Blood cell production, which occurs in red bone marrow after birth
Hemopoiesis
The building of new bone tissue and breaking down of old bone tissue
Bone remodeling
Consist of developing blood cells, adipocytes, finroblasts, and macrophages within a network of reticular finers.
Present in developing bones of the fetus and in some adult bones such as hip bones, skull, etc.
Red bone marrow
Consist mainly of adipose cells which store triglycerides.
Yellow bone marrow
A potential chemical energy reserve.
The body’s most higly concentrated source of chemical potential energy.
Triglyceride
Number of bones in the adult skeleton
206
Two basic types of bone tissue
Compact Bone Tissue
Spongy Bone Tissue
The strongest form of bone tissue.
Found beneath the periosteum of all bomes and makes up the bulk of the diaphyses of long bones.
Provides protection and support and resists the stresses produced by weight & mov’t.
Homogenous
Compact bone tissue
Trabelcular or cancellous bone tissue, does not contain osteons.
Always located in the interior of a bone, protected by a covering of compact bone.
Many open spaces
Smallneedle like pieces of bone
Spongy bone tissue
These bones are typically longer than wide.
Have a shaft with heads at both ends.
Contain mostly compact bone
Long bones
Examples of Long bones
Femur Tibia Fibula Humerous Ulna and radius Phalanges
Generally cube shaped
Contain most of spongy bone
Short bones
Example of short bones
Carpal
Tarsal
Generally thin and composed of two nearly parallel plates of compact bone tisse enclosing a layer of spongy bone tissue.
Flat bones
Examples of Flst bones
C ranial bones
Sternum (breadt bone)
Ribs
Scapulae (shoulder blades)
Have complex shapes and cannot be grouped into any.
Irregular bones
Examples of Irregular bones
Vertebrae
Hip bones
Facial bones
Calcaneus
Develop in certain tendons where there is considerable friction, tension, and physical stress, such as palms and soles.
Sesamoid bones
Are small bones located in sutures (joints) between certain cranial bone.
Sutural Bones
The bone’s shaft or body
The long, cylindrical, main portion of the bone
Diaphysis
The proximal and distal ends of the bone.
Epiphyses
A thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the part of the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation (joint) with another bone.
Reduces friction and absorbs shock at freely movable joints
Articular cartilage
