CHAP 6 SKELETAL SYSTEM Flashcards
Which bone would protect the lungs and heart
Rib cage aka thoracic cage
Function of bone
Support, protect, movement, and mineral storage
What mineral is. Stored in bone
Calcium
Which cells are made in red bone marrow
Red and white blood cells
What is stored in yellow marrow
Fat
2 parts of bone made of hyaline cartilage
Epiphyseal plate and Articular cartilage
Significance of Epiphyseal plate
New bones form
How is epithelium line different from Epiphyseal plate
Line is bone, plate is cartilage
What is found in medullary cavity
Endosteum, layer of cells
What is found in epiphysis
Spongy bone (where red bone marrow is made)
Which layer of periosteum is most superficial
Fibrous
Function of osteogenesis layer
Build and breakdown bone
Wha type of tissue is the fibrous layer made of
Dense irregular connective tissue
Function of fibrous layer
Maintenance of bone structure
What are sharpeys (perforating) fibers
Collagen fibers that penetrates bone
What is ligament
Fibrous tissue connecting bones
Bone to bone
What is tendon
Connective tissue continuous with fibers of muscles
Muscle to bone
Which salts are present in bone
Calcium phosphate
What characteristic does calcium phosphate give to bone
Very hard
What characteristic does collagen give to bone
Makes bone somewhat flexible
If bone were heated to denature the collage, what would be different about the bone?
Extremely hard
What are the scattered cells in the bone
Osteoprogenitor, osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts
Function of osteoprogenitor
Bone repair and growth
Which cells are derived from osteoprogenitor cells
Osteoblasts
Function of osteoblasts
Secretes the extracellular matrix of bone
What is the precursor for an osteocyte
Ostoprogenitor
Osteoclasts are derived from which type of cells
White blood cells
Function of osteoclasts
Make bone thicker
2 main types of bone tissue
Compact and spongy bone
Difference between volkmann (perforating) and Haversian (central) canals
Volkman runs horizontally
Haversian runs vertically
Why are volkmann and Haversian canal needed
Allows blood vessel to travel thru bone
