Ch.6 - Bone Flashcards
What is spongy (cancellous) bone?
Honeycomb of trabeculae filled w red bone marrow
What is compact (lamellar) bone?
Dense outer layer of bone
What is trabeculae?
In spongy bone, the arches of the structure
What minerals are stored in bone?
Calcium and phosphorus
Texture of spongy (cancellous) bone?
Honeycomb, w trabeculae full of red bone marrow
Texture of compact (lamellar) bone
Dense outer layer
Structure of long bone (3)
Epiphysis
Metaphysis
Diaphysis
What is yellow bone marrow?
Fat
What is the diaphysis of long bone made of?
Compact bone, surrounding medullary cavity
What is medullary cavity?
Inside of bone, hollow part of diaphysis
Bone membranes (2)
Periosteum and endosteum
Describe periosteum layers (2)
outer: where tendons + ligaments grab
Inner: allows creation of bone (osteoblasts + osteoclasts)
What makes up periosteum?
Irregular connective tissue proper
Components of periosteum
2 layers, nociceptors, blood, lymphatic vessels, Sharpey fibers
What are nociceptors
Nerve fibers signaling pain in periosteum
What are sharpey’s fibers?
Collagen fibers attach periosteum to actual bone
what does periosteum cover?
Everything but articular surfaces
What covers articular surfaces?
Hyaline cartilage
Where is epiphyses of long bone?
The top (proximal) and bottom (distal) ends
What membrane covers epiphyses?
Hyaline cartilage
Describe structure of epiphyses
Exterior is compact bone,
interior is spongy bone
Where is metaphyses of bone
Neck of bone and epiphyseal plate
