Bones Flashcards
What is osseous tissue?
another word for bone
What is part of the skeletal system?
bones, cartilages, ligaments
What is cartilage?
dense connective tissue made to reduce friction where bones articulate
What are ligaments
tough fibrous connective tissue that connect bones to other bones where joints are located
Functions of the skeleton
-support
-protection- skull, rib cage
-movement
-blood cell- red marrow
production
-mineral storage
homeostatis (normal calcium and phosphorus)
Name the parts the bone
-supporting connective tissue
-specialized cells
-solid matrix (bone itself)
-bone linings (line the bone)
periosteum (outer)
endosteum (inner)
What is osteogenic connective tissue? Can bone be added here?
periosteum and endosteum (bone can be added here)
What is fascia?
type of connective tissue that is an muscle attachment site and its part of the presidium
How thick is the endosteum?
one cell thick
What does the endosteum line?
the medullary cavity
What makes bone hard?
the mineral component does. aka the calcium phosphate (calcium phosphate becomes hydroxyapatite crystals)
What makes bone flexible?
collagen fibers (so that bone is not brittle)
What are osteocyte?
live inside the bone matrix, provide nutrients and keep bone tissue alive
What are osteoBlast?
bone building, secrete osteoid, one nucleus
what minerals do we need to build bone?
calcium and phosphorus
What do osteoblast become?
Osteoblast become osteocyte’s
What are osteoclast?
multiple nuclei, involved in bone removal
How is bone replacement called?
bone remodeling
What is bone remodeling?
COORDINATED removal and replacement of bone tissue by osteoclasts and osteoblast
When do we need to go through bone remodeling?
when we are
changing bone shape (exercise)
replacing old/damaged bone (over time)
releasing mineral stores
