Ch 6-9 Flashcards
What are components of skeletal system
Bones, ligaments, tendons
What tissues are present in bone?
Not muscle
What are the functions of the skeleton?
Support, protect, assists in movement, mineral homeostasis, blood cell production, enclose brain
What is the relationship between the skeletal system and the blood?
Hemopoeitic tissues develops red bone marrow that produces red cells, white cells, blood cells
What is found at the ends of long bones?
Articulate cartilage, epiphysis
Which membrane lines the medullary cavity of long bone?
Endosteum
What is true concerning bone history
50% crystalized mineral salts
Which cells would be expected to be most active in replacing bone matrix lost due to an injury
Osteoblasts
Describe compact bone
Arranged in units called osteons
What is found within compact bone
Canaliculi, osteocytes, concentric llamellae, perforating and central canals
Which structures allow communication between blood vessels and nerves in the periosteum and endosteum
Central canal
How are the alignment of osteons in compact bone arranged
Along lines of stress
Describe spongy bone
Houses red bone marrow
What is true of bone scans
Determines density of bone
Which blood vessels are associated with a hole in the shaft of long bone
Diaphyseal arteries and veins
What is the relationship of nerves and bones
Nerves follow blood vessels to supply bones
Explain bone formation
Requires placement of pre existing connective tissue
What forms intramembranous ossification
Mandible, flat plates of skull, bone that replaces soft spots on infant skull
What happens to the bone matrix during intramembranous ossification
Trabeculae develop and fuse to form spongy bone
Compare intramembranous ossification to endochondral ossification
Endochondral ossification allows both interstitial and appositional growth
