Ch 11, 12, 13 Flashcards
Ethmoid Bone
*Forms the anterior cranial floor, medial orbit walls, upper parts of the nasal septum, and sidewalks of the nasal cavity
Cribriform plate
Located in the ethmoid bone
Sinus
Is a cavity within a bone
How many bones are in the Axial Skeleton
80
How many bones are in the Appendicular Skeleton?
126
Name all the cartilages of the body
Hyaline, Elastic, and Fibrocartilage
Hyaline Cartilage
- Most common cartilage, semitransparent appearance
* Forms the cartilage rings in the trachea, bronchi of the lungs, and tip of the nose
Elastic Cartilage
Forms external ear, epiglottis, covers the opening to the respiratory tract when swallowing water and food, eustachian or auditory tubes that connect the middle ear and nasal cavity
Fibrocartilage
- Abundant fibrous elements within the matrix, it is strong rigid and most often associated with regions of dense connective tissue in the body
- Occurs in pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs, and points of attachment of some large tendon to bone
Steps to heal a bone fracture
- Fracture of the femur (Day 1)
- Formation of fracture hematoma (Week 1)
- Formation of soft cartilaginous procallous (Week 2-3)
- Formation of internal and external bony callous (Week 4-16)
- Bone remodeling complete (Week 17)
Where does hematopoiesis take place?
RED MARROW
What is the major purpose of the epiphyseal plate?
Growth, an increase in length
Four layers of Epiphyseal plate
- “RESTING” CARTILAGE CELLS: are the point of attachment joining the epiphysis to the shaft
- ZONE OF PROLIFERATION: composed of cartilage cells undergoing active mitosis which can cause the layers to thicken and the plate to increase in length
- ZONE OF HYPERTROPHY: is made up of olde and enlargedcells undergoing degenerative changes associated with calcium deposition
- ZONE OF CALCIFICATION: layer of dead or dying cartilage
Primary ossification center of the long bone
Forms when a blood vessel enter the rapidly changing cartilage model at the midpoint of the diaphysis
How does apposition growth play a role in intramembranous ossification?
Occurs through the addition of osseous tissue to the outer surface of a flat bone
Osteon of bone
Permit the delivery of nutrients by the removal of waste products
Function of the Bone
Acronym: Some Parts Make Me Hot
Support, Protection, Movement, Mineral Storage, Hematopoiesis
What cells produce bone?
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
Mature non-dividing osteoblasts surrounded by the matrix and lying within the lacunae
