Ch Bone Tissue Flashcards
1
Q
Osteology
A
- Study of bone structure and bone disorder
2
Q
Tissues working together in bones
A
- Bone
- Cartilage
- Dense Connective Tissue
- Epithelium
- Adipose Tissue
- Blood
- Nervous Tissue
3
Q
Bone Function
A
- Support
- Protection
- Assist in Movement
- Mineral Storage and Release
- Blood Cell Production
- Triglyceride Storage (Yellow Bone Marrow)
4
Q
Bone Function: Support - Structural Framework
A
- Soft tissues
- Serves as attachment points for tendons and most muscles
5
Q
Bone function: Protection
A
- Most important internal organs from injuries
- Cranial bones, vertebrae, rib cage
6
Q
Bone function: Assist in movement
A
- Most skeletal muscles attach to bone
- when they contract, they pull bone to make movement
7
Q
Bone Function: Mineral Storage and Release
A
- Bone tissue makes up 18% of weight of human body
- Stores several minerals (Calcium and phosphorus) - Strength of bone
- Releases on demand
8
Q
Bone function: Blood Cell Production
A
- Red bone marrow - RBCs, WBCs, Platelets (Hemopoiesis - blood making)
- Fetus - in developing bones
- Adults - in Pelvis, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, skull, humerus, femur
- Newborn (All red marrow)
- Adults (red and yellow)
9
Q
Bone function: Triglyceride Storage
A
- Yellow bone marrow
- Adipose cells store triglycerides
- Stored triglycerides: Potential energy reserve
10
Q
Gross bone shapes
A
- Long bones
- Short bones
- Flat bones
- Irregular bones
- Sesamoid bones
11
Q
Organization of Bone Tissue: 2 types
A
- Compact (Cortical/dense)
- Spongy (Trabecular/cancellous)
12
Q
Bone tissue: Compact (Cortical/dense)
A
- external layer of ALL bones
- Parallel arrangement of osteons
13
Q
Compact tissue: Osteons
A
- Central Osteonic Canal
- Organized lamellae
- Lacuna
- Canaliculi
14
Q
Bone tissue: Spongy (Trabecular/Cancellous)
A
- Forms interior of some bones
- Lattice network of trabeculae
15
Q
Spongy : Lattice network of trabeculae
A
- Unorganized lamellae
- Lacuna
