Ch 6 Flashcards
Boen or Osseous tissue
connective tissue in which the matrix is hardened by calcium phosphate and other minerals
Diaphysis
shaft of bone also called a body
Epiphysis
the ends of a bone
Periosteum
fibrous membrane that covers the outer portion of a bone, tendons attach here, highly innervated.
Articular (Hyaline) cartilage
covers the ends of moveable bones
Medullary (Marrow) Cavity
space inside the bone that contains marrow
Endosteum
the lining of he medullary cavity
Osteocyte
mature osteoblast, bone cells, sense the various stressors on bone
Osteogenic cell
a stem cell that differentiates to become an osteoblast
Epiphyseal plate
area that contains hyaline cartilage in growing bone, an area that causes bone to elongate, becomes ossified (bone) in adults.
Osteoblast
cells that lay down collagen fibers and matrix to form bone
Osteon
basic structural unit of compact bone
Osteoclast
bone dissolving cells
Central Canal
located at the center of the Osteon, contains vessels and nerves
Concentric canal
located at the center of the osteon, contains vessels and nerves
Calcitriol
form of vitamin D is stimulated by the absorption of UV light
Perforating canal
channels that contain vessels and nerves, connect outside osteon to inside of the bone
Canaliculi
“tiny canals” that connect lacuna (so osteocyte can communicate)
Lacuna
the space that houses osteocyte
Calcitriol raises hormones by
a. inc absorption in the small intestine. b. stimulates calcium removal from bones (osteoclast)
c. causing the kidney to retain calcium in the blood.
Calcitonin lowers calcium levels in the bl by
inhibiting osteoclasts
stimulates osteoblasts (places calcium into bone)
Calcitonin
released by the Thyroid hormone
Parathyroid hormone
released by parathyroid gland
Steps associated with fracture repair
Hematoma forms around fracture site
