Ch.6 Bones Flashcards
Axial Bones
Skull, ribs, vertebral column, protect organs
Appendicular Bones
limbs pelvis and everything else, move us
Long bones
Femur, metacarpals
Short bones
talus, and scaphoid
Flat bones
flat, like the scapula and sternum
Irregular bones
Pelvis, vertebrae
compact bone
tough outer layer of the bone
Spongy bone
found in the epiphysis end, made of trabeculae and has bone marrow
Trabeculae
aka cancellous bone helps reduce stress on bone,
Diaphysis
Shaft of bone, epiphysis is the ends of bone
medullary cavity
inside of the diaphysis, hold yellow bone marrow among other things
yellow bone marrow
fat storage
Osteons
Cylindrical tubes within tubes that run along the diaphysis, contains lamellae
lamellae
are the rings that have collagen fibers running in different directions to resists torsion
central canals
aka Harversian Canal are inside of osteons and they hold nerves and blood vessels and other stuff
lacunae
are between the lamellae and house your osteocytes.
Osteoblasts
make and restore bone, make the matrix, and make collagen fibers
Osteoclasts
beak down bone
Resorption
process where osteoclasts break down bone and return the materials to the bloodstream
apoptosis
process of osteoclasts destroying themselves
Structural Classification
Classifying joints by what they’re made of
Functional Classification
Classifying joints by what they do and how they move
Synarthroses
non moving joints (like in your skull)
Amphiarthroses
partial moving joints like the pubic bones
Diarthrosis
Fully movable joints, like limbs
Fibrous joints
connect bones with dense fibrous tissue
Cartilaginous joints
unite bones using cartilage, don’t move much,
