ch 6 Flashcards
skeletal cartilage
highly resilient, molded cartilage tissues that consists primarily of water
T/F: skeletal cartilage contains blood vessels and nerves
FALSE
it does NOT contain blood vessels or nerves
perichondrium
layer of dense connective tissue surrounding cartilage like a girdle
resists outward expansion
T/F: perichondrium contains blood vessels
TRUE
allows nutrient delivery to cartilage
what is cartilage made up of
chondrocytes
lacunae
small spaces/cavities
what are chondrocytes encased in
lacunae
what are the three types of cartilage
hyaline
elastic
fibrocartilage
hyaline cartilage
provides support, flexibility, and resilience
contains COLLAGEN FIBERS
joints, ribs, respiratory, nasal cartilage
elastic cartilage
similar to hyaline
contains ELASTIC FIBERS
external ear and epiglottis
fibrocartilage
great tensile strength
THICK COLLAGEN FIBERS
menisci of knee, vertebral disks
what are the two ways that cartilage grows
appositional growth
interstitial growth
appositional growth
growth from the outside
new matrix laid down on surface of cartilage
bone gets thicker
interstitial growth
growth from the inside
chondrocytes within lacunae divide and secrete new matrix
expands from within
bone gets longer
function of bones
support
protection
movement
mineral + growth factor storage
blood cell formation
triglyceride (fat) storage
hormone production
hematopoiesis
production of blood cells in RED MARROW CAVITIES
osteocalcin
protein secreted by bones
regulates insulin secretion, glucose levels, metabolism
how many named bones are in the human skeleton
206
axial skeleton
long axis of body
skull, vertebral column, rib cage
appendicular skeleton
bones of upper and lower limbs
girdles attaching limbs to axial skeleton
long bones
longer than they are wide
limb bones
short bones
cube shaped bones
in wrist and ankles
sesamoid bones
small, round bones embedded in tendons
vary in size
ex patella
flat bones
thin, flat, slightly curved
sternum, scapula, ribs, most skull bonesq
irregular bones
complicated shapes
vertebrae and hip bones
compact bone
dense outer layer on every bone
appears smooth and solid
spongy bone
made up of honeycomb of trabeculae
trabeculae
thin, branching structure found within spongy bone
lightweight and strong
open spaces in it filled with yellow or red bone marrow
periosteum
vascular connective tissue that covers the OUTSIDE of compact bone
fibrous layer (outer)
osteogenic layer (inner)
endosteum
vascular membrane of connective tissue that covers INSIDE portion of compact bone
structure of short, irregular, and flat bones
periosteum
compact bone
spongy bone
endosteum
structure of long bones
diaphysis
epiphysis
membranes
diaphysis
tubular shaft that forms long axis of bone
epiphyses
ends of long bones
compact bone externally
spongy bone internally
epiphyseal line
between diaphysis and epiphysis
remnant of epiphyseal plate
epiphyseal plate
growth plate in long bones
not in adults
red marrow
found within trabecular cavities of spongy bone
what is in the medullary cavities of newborns
red marrow
osteogenic cells
mitotically active stem cells in periosteum and endosteum
aka osteogenic cells
