Bones Ch 6 - Ch 9 Flashcards
3 skeletal cartilage types
Hyaline
Elastic
Fibrocartilage
Hyaline
Most abundant, and made of fine collagen fibers.Support, flexibility and resistance.
Located: Articular, Coastal, respiratory and nasal cartilages.
Elastic Cartilage
Similar to hyaline but made up of flexible elastic fibers as well. Location: External ear and epiglottis.
Fibrocartilage
Highly compressible, made of chondrocytes alternating with collagen fibers.
Location: intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis and menisci
How does cartilage grow?
Appositional growth:from the out side.
Interstitial growth: from the inside.
4 bone types
Sutural Long Short Flat Irregular Sesamoid
Bone function
Support Storage of minerals and lipids Blood cell production Protection Leverage
2 most important minerals in bone
calcium and phosphate
Trabeculae
Honeycomb of small needle-like or flat pieces in spongy bone
diaphysis
Shaft that forms the long axis of the bone
Epiphysis
Bone ends, filled with spongy bone (no medullary space) and covered with compact bone.
Epiphyseal line
Divides the diaphysis and epiphysis and was the site of the growth plate in the youth (epiphyseal plate)
Bone membranes
Periosteum
Endosteum
Periosteum
White double layer membrane surrounding the bone, outside made of irregular CT, inside made of osreogenic stem cells
Endosteum
Delicate connective tissue layer that lines the inside of the bone. Contains osteogenic stem cells.
Nutrient foramen
Opening in the bone which the blood supply and nerves pass through
Sharpey’s fibers
Perforating fibers that anchor the periosteum to the bone and provide anchor points for ligaments and tendons.
Red marrow cavities
Found in spongy bone and is where hematopoiesis takes place–mostly in hip sternum,and heads of femur and humerus.
Bone markings
Projections, depressions and openings that serve as sights for muscle, tendon and ligament attachments.
Bone tissue cells
Osteogenic
Osteoblasts
Osteocyte
Osteoclast
Osteogenic cells
Mitotic stem cells, located in periosteum and endosteum.
Osteoblasts
Matrix synthesizing cell responsible for bone growth. Trigger the deposit of calcium salts in the organic matrix.
Osteocytes develop from osteoblasts.
