Chapter 45 Flashcards
The osteocytes and matrix are precise, density structured arrangements called osteons
Compact bone
The arrangement of cells and matrix is irregular and sparse, resembling a sponge
Spongy bone
Covers all outer bone surfaces except at the joints, where cartilage covers the ends of the bone. Provides protection, is involved in bone growth and repair (producing osteoblast) and participates in the blood supply of bone.
Periosteum (connective tissue)
Produce bone matrix during growth and replace matrix during normal remodeling or in repair of fractures
Osteoblasts
Resorb bone matrix when more calcium is needed in the blood during repair when excess bone must be removed as bone changes shape
Osteoclasts
Essential for the efficient absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the small intestine.
Vitamin D
Requires for the production process of bone matrix
Vitamin A and C
Increases mitosis and protein synthesis.
Growth Hormone
Where will you find the growth hormone?
Pituitary gland
Stimulates osteoblasts and increases energy production
Thyroxine
Where is thyroxin found?
Thyroid gland
Essential for the efficient use of glucose to provide energy
Insulin
Where is insulin produced?
Pancreas
Secreted by the parathyroid glands, increases the removal of calcium and phosphate from bones
Parathyroid hormone
From the thyroid gland promotes the retention of calcium in bones
Calcitonin hormone
____ are flat or irregular bones and contain red bone marrow.
Axial bone
Limbs consist of long bones (except the carpals, tarsals, and patella)
Appendicular skeleton
Contains eight cranial bones. Also has three auditory bones found in each middle ear cavity. All the joints between the cranial bones and between most of the facial bones are immovable joints called sutures.
Skull
Immovably fixed joint between connected by fibrous tissue
Synarthrosis
Is made of 33 individual bones called vertebrae
Vertebral column
The first of seven cervical vertebra articulates with the occipital bone of the skull and forms a pivot joint with the axis
Atlas
The second cervical vertebra
Axis
consisting of the five fused sacral vertebrae, articulates with the OS coxae at the sacroiliac joints
Sacrum
Composed of four fused coccygeal vertebrae, serves as attachment point for some muscles of the perineum
Coccyx
