Ch 7 Bone Tissue Flashcards
The skeletal system is made up of primarily what kind of tissue
connective tissues
The skeletal system makes up how much of the body
20% of the mass
Compact
dense, looks smooth, homogenous
Spongy
Interior of bone, a lot of open space filled with marrow
Trabecule
small needle-like or flat pieces of bone that make up the interior of the bone
what do bones produce
blood cells
Hematopoiesis
the process of blood cell formation
where does hematopoises occur
the marrow cavities of certain bones
What do bones store
minerals and fat
how many bones are in the body
206
four types of bone shapes
long, short, irregular, and flat
what type of bones are long bones
Primarily compact with some spongy
examples of long bones
the legs, thigh, arms,
forearms, fingers, toes, bones of the hand and
foot, and the collar bone.
diaphysis
tubular central shaft of a long bone
Medullary cavities
cavities in long bones taht store fat (yellow marrow), blood vessels and nerve cells
Epiphyses
the bone ends or extremities
Which is more expanded epiphyses or diaphysis
Epipyses
areas in long bones that routinely produce new blood cells
spongy bone in the head and femur
Epiphyseal line
remnant of the epiphyseal plate (where long bones lengthen)
Periosteum
double layered membrane covering the outer surface of the diaphysis
What is the inner layer of the periosteum made of
elastic fibers, blood vessels, osteoblsats and osteoclasts
what is the outer layer of the periosteum made of
connective tissue, blood bessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves
Function of periosteum
Initiates growth, development, and repair of bone
how many layers in the periosteum
2
Endosteum
connective tissue membrane covering the internal bone surfaces
endosteum function
covers trabeculae of spongy bone
Lines the canals that pass through compact bone
Articular cartilage
covering of the epiphyseal surfaces, cushions bone ends and absorbs stress during joint movement
Articular cartilage function
Cushions bone ends and absorbs stress during joint movemement
Articular cartilage tissue
glassy textured hylaine cartilage
Short bones
cube-like bones
Short bone examples
tarsals carpals and patella
Short bones bone types
Mostly soongy with thin surface layer of compact
Flat bones
Thin, flattened and usually slightly curved bones
Flat bones bone types
2 roughly pareallel compact bones with spongy bone between
Flat Bones examples
Sternum, ribs and most cranial bones
Most significant areas of blood cell formation
Flat bones (sternum/scalpula)
Irregular bones
Have complicated shapes and don’t fit into other classes
Irregular bones bone types
mostly spongy bone enclosed by thin layers of compact bone
Irregular bones examples
vertebrae, hip bones, and some skull bones (mostly facial)
T/F irregular bones make blood cells
True
Example-hip
Foramen
oval or round opening
What is the region of the chin called
the mental region
Fissure
Groove or slit like opening in bone
