ch 6 - bone + bone structure Flashcards
6 types of bones
short, flat, irregular, sutural, long, and sesamoid
long bone
long + slender, greater length than width
- outer layer compact bone w/ inner spongy bone at ends (epiphyses)
long bone examples
femur, humerus
short bones
boxy w/ approximately equal dimensions; cubed shape
short bones example
carpels (wrist)
flat bones
thin w/ parallel surfaces that produced a flattened shape
- no medullary cavity
flat bones example
cranium, sternum, scapula
irregular bones
odd, complex shapes
irregular bone example
vertebrae, coxal
sesamoid bones
small, round and flat…somewhat shaped like a sesame seed
- found within certain tendons
sesamoid bone example
patella (knee cap)
sutural bones
small, flat bones of the skull
short, flat, and irregular bones composed mainly of
inner spongy bone w/ outer layer of compact bone
structure of long bone
diaphysis, metaphysis, epiphysis,
epiphysis
ends of a long bone
metaphysis
narrow zone that connects the epiphysis and diaphysis
diaphysis
long tubular shaft of long bone
articular cartilage (hyaline)
covers the epiphysis at the joint
medullary cavity
space within a bone that contains fatty yellow bone marrow
periosteum
covers bone surface
- where ligaments and tendons are attached
endosteum
inside of bone, thin membrane that lines medullalry cavity
calcification
process of crystallization of mineral salts within collagen fibers
what makes up bone matrix
2/3: calcium phosphate
1/3: collagen fibers
bone tissue (osseous tissue)
dense connective tissue with cells and solid matrix
4 types of bone cells
osteogenic
osteoblast
osteocyte
osteoclast
osteogenic cells
stem cell whose divisions produce osteoblasts
osteoblasts
immature bone cells responsible for osteogenesis; the production of new bone matrix
osteocytes
mature bone cells in lacunae
osteoclasts
cells that absorb and remove bone matrix
bone remodeling
continual process bone uses to renew itself
compact bone structures
periosteum
compact bone
- osteon
osteon
basic functional unit of compact bone
- repeating structural unites
lamellae
layers of calcified bone matrix
concentric lamellae
forms osteons
interstitial lamellae
fills spaces between osteons
circumferential lamellae
at the outer bone surface
central canal
center of osteon contains blood vessels and nerves
lacunae
spaces within lamellae that houses osteocytes
canaliculi
channels of extracellular fluid that connects osteons
perforating cannals
passageways within compact bones that extend perpendicular to surface
- connect to central canal
spongy bone
- towards interior
-contains red marroe and trabeculae - no osteons
- no canals
trabeculae
thin columns of lamellae arranged in an irregular pattern
ossification
process by which bone forms
embryonic skeleton is made of
mesenchyme
2 types of ossification
intramembranous and endochondrial
intramembranous ossification
fibrous connective tissue replaced by bone
endochondrial ossification
bone replaces hyaline cartilage
- occurs in long bone
endochondrial ossification steps
- development of cartilage model
- growth of cartilage model
- development of primary ossification center - diaphysis
- formation of medullary cavity
- development of secondary ossification centers
- formation of articular cartilage and epiphyseal growth plate
interstitial growth
growth in length
appositional growth
growth in width
