Chapter 5 Flashcards
bone functions
Support the body Protect soft organs Attached skeletal muscles allow movement Store minerals and fats Calcium and phosphorus Blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)
bones in adult skeleton
206
types of bone
spongy and compact
types of bone
Long
Short
Flat
Irregular
flat bones
two layers of compact bone surround spongy bone
irregular bones
vertebrate
shaft of long bone
diaphysis
outside layer of compact bone
periosteum
secure periosteum to bone
Sharpey’s fibers
ends of the bones
epiphysis
cartilage on end of long bone is ______ cartilage
articular
short bones contain mostly
spongy bone
the skull is what kind of bone
flat bone
growth plate in bone
epiphyseal plate
yellow marrow is mostly
fat
in adults red bone marrow found in
the epiphysis in the spongy bones
connect bone cells to a nutrient supply
canaliculi
runs perpendicular to osteonic canal
perforating canal carrying blood vessels and nerves
bone formation
ossification
bone forming cells
osteoblasts
bone groing wider
appositional growth
bone destroying cells
osteoclasts
hormone that is excreted when the body is low in calcium, causing osteoclasts to destroy bone material for calcium
parathyroid hormone
what type of feedback is the release of pth to balance calcium levels?
negative feedback
high calcium levels
hypercalcema
closed (simple) fracture
break that doesn’t break the skin
open (compound) fracture
bone penetrates the skin
closed reduction
bones are manually put back into place by a doctor
open reduction
bone is secured by pins and wires during surgery
steps of bone reparation
1) hematoma
2) fibrocartilage callus forms
3) bone callus forms bringing in osteoblasts and osteoclasts
4) bone remodeling
bone breaks into many fragments
comminuted
bone is crushed
compression
broken bone is pressed inward
depression
broken bone ends are pressed into each other
impacted
ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone
spiral
bone breaks incompletely
greenstick
three parts of axial skeleton
1) skull
2) vertebral column
3) bony thorax
holds skull bones together
sutures
only skull bone with a freely moving joint
mandible
