Bones Flashcards
skeletal system functions
support, protection, rbc production, mineral and fat storage, movement
long bone parts
- diaphysis
- epiphysis
- articular cartilage
- yellow bone marrow
- red bone marrow
- periosteum
- ligaments
diaphysis
bone shaft, compact bone, filled w/yellow bone marrow
epiphysis
bone ends, spongy bone
articular cartilage
hyaline cartilage @ bone ends
yellow bone marrow
fat storage
red bone marrow
rbc production, found in spongy and flat
periosteum
living, outer covering of fibrous connective tissue
ligaments
fibrous connective tissue that connects bones
compact bone
osteons w/central canal containing blood vessels
- living bone cells (osteocytes) in lacunae chambers
cartilage
used in bone formation
spongy bone
made of plates w/spaces filled w/red bone marrow
chondrocytes
cartilage-forming cells
intramembranous ossification
bone development between fibrous connective tissue sheets
- used in flat bones
endochondral ossification
cartilage replaced by bone (used in most bones)
step 1: cartilage model
chondrocytes lay down hyaline cartilage in shape of future bones
step 2: bone collar formation
osteoblasts secrete bone matrix, results in a compact bone collar
step 3: primary ossification center
osteoblasts brought interiorly by blood, lays down spongy bone
step 4: secondary ossification sites
bone centers in epiphyses formed after birth
step 5: epiphyseal plate
cartilage band acts as growth plate that allows bones to lengthen
growth hormone (GH)
stimulates general bone growth and epiphyseal plates
sex hormones
increases growth during adolescence
vitamin D
converted to a hormone to allow calcium absorption in intestine
role in homeostasis
calcium blood regulation through hormones
