Ch 6 Skeletal Tissues Flashcards
Each bone is comprised of several tissues. That makes every bone in our body an….

The 5 Bone Classes
Long Bones Short Bones Flat Bones Irregular Bones Sesamoid Bones
Long Bones
Longer than wide
Diaphysis (the shaft)
Epiphysis ( the enlarged, rounded end)
Medullary Cavity
Most bones of arms legs hands feet fingers and toes
Short Bones
As wide as they are long (cube shaped)
Carpals and Tarsals
Flat Bones
Thin and Broad
most bones of the skull and the clavicles
Irregular Bones
Do not fit into the other classes due to irregular shape
Ex: vertebrae and certain skull bones
Sesamoid Bones
Small, relatively flat and oval shaped
Located within tendons (patella)
Diploe
Spongy bone part of flat, irregular & sesamoid bone where bone marrow resides
Medullary Cavity
Bone marrow cavity in the diaphysis of a long bone
Spongy Bone
ie. cancellous bone
resists forces in many directions
stores bone marrow
Compact Bone
Hard, dense outer bone
resists linear compression and twisting forces
Periosteum
membrane made of Dense irregular collagenous connective tissue
houses osteogenic cells and osteoblasts
Endosteum
Lines all inner surfaces of bone
Help maintain Bone homeostasis
Skeletal Cartilages
Hyaline- most abundant type, articular, costal, respiatory and nasal cartilages
Elastic Cartilage-ear and epiglottis of larynx
Fibrocartilage-knees and vertebral discs
Articular Cartilage
Makes up joints
Red Bone Marrow
Hematopoietic tissue located in certain bones that produces all of the formed elements of the blood
Two divisions of Skeletal System
Axial
Appendicular
Four Main Types of Bone
Long Bone
Short Bone
Flat Bone
Irregular Bone
The Major Anatomical Area of a longitudinally cut long bone
Epishysis- rounded ends Diaphysis- shaft Periosteum-external surface of bone Compact Bone- below periosteum Spongy Bone-deep to compact bone Endosteum- covers medullary cavity Marrow- Inside medullary cavity
Role of Hydroxyapeptides in bone strength
Accounts for hardness and compression
Role of Organic material of matrix in bone strength
flexibility
tensile strength
Osseous tissue is also known as
Bone tissue
Inorganic matrix
65% of total weight of bone
Composed of minerals
