Ch 7-9 Flashcards
Epiphysis
(long Bone Structure)
Ends of bone
Diaphysis
(Long Bone Structure)
Shaft
Articular Cartilage
(long bone structure)
Thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering epiphysis
Periosteum
The membrane covering the bone.
Medullary Canal
Cavity in diaphysis containing yellow marrow
Endosteum
Membrane lining medullary canal and other internal surfaces.
Compact Bone
[Dense] continuous matrix with no gaps that provides protection and support ~ forms external layer of all bones.
Spongy Bone
[Cancellous] Branching plates (trabeculae) with lots of space filled with red marrow ~ found at ends of long bones and inside short, flat, irregular bones.
Immature bone-forming cells that secrete collagen, matrix
Osteoblasts
Mature bone cells, maintain
Osteocytes
Destroy bone for development, growth, repair
Osteoclasts
Blood vessels and nerves run longitudinally through ____ ?
Haversian canals
Where bone occurs in layers around central canals
Lamellae
____ connect lacunae to each other and to central canal.
Canaliculi
: any of the small channels in bone that transmit blood vessels from the periosteum into the bone and that lie perpendicular to and communicate with the haversian canals
Volkman’s Canals
Internal struts (branching plates) have no central canal. Has nourishment from red marrow.
Trabeculae
What are the soft spots of the skull?
Fontanels
________ is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone. Also called growth plate. Responsible for long bone growth.
The epiphyseal plate
_______ is a major loss of bone mass that leaves bones prone to fracture. More frequent in women partially due to drop in estrogen levels after menopause.
Osteoporosis
the red vascular substance consisting of connective tissue and blood vessels containing primitive blood cells, macrophages, megakaryocytes, and fat cells.
It is found in the cavities of many bones, including flat and short bones, bodies of the vertebrae, sternum, ribs, and articulating ends of long bones.
Red marrow
________ bone marrow in which the fat cells predominate in the meshes of the reticular
is found in the medullary canal – the hollow interior of long bones.
Yellow marrow
what is the difference between endochondral ossification and intramembranous ossification?
INTRAMEMBRANOUS OSSIFICATION: forms the flat bones of the skull, face, jaw, and center of clavicle. bone is formed in sheet-like layers that reseamble a membrane.
ENDOCHONDRAL OSSIFICATION: forms most bones in the body, mostly long bones, and replace cartilage with bone.
Simple fracture
Bone does not penetrate skin
Compound fracture
Bone does penetrate skin
