Ch 6 Skeletal Flashcards
What bones fuse together after birth?
Frontal of the skull, mandible, pelvic bone, and coccyx
Extra pieces usually found within a suture joint
Sutural bones
Bones embedded in a tendon or a muscle near joint surfaces
Sesamoid bones
Reduced friction between bones
Cartilage
Attach muscles to bones
Tendons
Connect one bone to another bone
Ligaments
Substances (material) surrounding bone cells
Bone matrix
What compound provides weight bearing strength
Hard calcium
What provides flexible strength
Collagen fibers
- Cells that add calcium compounds to bone matrix
- build bone matrix
Osteoblasts
- cells that secret acids and enzymes that dissolve bone matrix
-breaks down bone matrix and calcium ions are released into the bloodstream
Osteoclasts
- cells that support and nourish bone matrix
- mature bone cells
Osteocytes
Forms the hard outer shell of the bones
Compact bone
Concentre rings of bone matrix
Lamellae
Small spaces that contain osteocytes
Lacunae
Contains blood vessels and nerves
Central canal
Tiny passageway between osteocytes and the central canal
Canaliculi
-Forms inside of bone
- spaces are filled with bone marrow
Spongy bone
Needle-like of plates of bone
Trabecuale
Sites of blood cell production
Red marrow
Stores adipose
Yellow marrow
At birth is all bone marrow red or yellow
Red
Where is red marrow found in adults
Flat bones of the skull, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, clavicle, scapula, pelvic bone, and proximal ends of the humerus and femur
Center shaft of a long bone
Diaphysis
What is the diaphysis made up of?
Compact bone
Hollow cavity filled with adipose
Marrow cavity
