Ch. 6 - Bone Tissues Flashcards
4 classes of bones
Flat bone, long bone, irregular bone, and short bones
The body of a long bone is called its
Diaphysis (shaft)
The head at the ends of long bones are called
Epiphysis
In children, this cartilage plate separates the epiphysis and diaphysis of long bones and calcifies when person is done growing
epiphysial plate
Most of the bone is covered in this sheath
Periosteum
These collagen fibers of the periosteum penetrate into the bone matrix
Perforating fibers
Blood vessels of the periosteum penetrate through the bone through these channels
nutrient foramina
The internal surface of the bone is lined with
Endosteum
At most joints, this kind of cartilage is present
Articular cartilage
In the skull, the spongy layer inside the flat bone is called the
diploe
Stem cells found in the endostem
Osteogenic cells
Osteogenic cells arise from
embryonic mesenchyme
Osteogenic cells give rise to these cells
Osteoblasts
Bone-forming cells that synthesize bone tissue
Osteoblasts
Formation of new bone tissue
Osteogenesis
Mature bone cells now trapped in bone matrix
Osteocytes
Osteocytes reside in cavities called
Osseous lacunae
Lacunae are connected by tiny channels called
canaliculi
Bone-dissolving macrophages found on bone surfaces
Osteoclasts
Dissolving of bone tissue
Osteolysis
Onion-like layers of matrix around a central canal
Concentric lamellae
A canal that passes through the osteon, containss blood vessels and nerves
Central canal
central canal + concentric lamellae = ?
Osteon
Basic structural unit of compact bone
Osteon
Central canals are connected by
Perforating canals
