Chapter 6 Flashcards
Bone
Organ made of osseous tissue, cartilage, dense connective tissue, epithelium, adipose tissue and nervous tissue
Skeletal system
Framework of bones and their cartilage
Function of skeletal system
Support
Protection
Assistance in moving
Mineral homeostasis
Blood cell production
Triglyceride storage
Diaphysis
Bone’s shaft/body
Long cylindrical main portion of bone
Epiphyses
Proximal and distal ends of the bone
Metaphyses
Region between diaphysis and epiphysis
Epiphyseal plate
In metaphyses of growing bone
Layer of hyaline cartilage that allows for diaphysis to grow in length
Epiphyseal Line
Replaces Epiphyseal plate when bone stops growing
Articulate cartilage
Thin layer of hyalin cartilage covering parts of epiphyses where bones form joints
Periosteum
Tough connective tissue sheath and associated blood supply cover wherever articulat cartilage isn’t
Periosteum outer fibrous layer
Made up of dense irregular connective tissue
Periosteum osteogenic layer
Consists of cells that allow for growth in width of bone
Function of periosteum
Protects bone
Assists in fracture repair
Nourish bone tissue
Attachment points for ligaments and tendons
Perforating fibers(Sharpey’s fibers)
Attaches periosteum to underlying bone
Medullary Cavity (Marrow Cavity)
Hollow, cylindrical space writhing diaphysis, has yellow bone marrow and blood vessels
Endosteum
Thin membrane made of a single layer of bone forming cells and a small amount of connective tissues.
Line the medullary cavity
Hydroxyapatite
Made up of calcium phosphate and calcium hydroxide
Bone strength and regen
Calcification
Crystals form from mineral salt deposits in framework of collagen fibers of extracellular matrix hardens the tissue
Initiated by osteoblasts
4 types of cells in bone tissue
Osteoprogenitor cells
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
Osteoclasts
Osteoprogenitor Cells
Unspecialized bone stem cells from mesenchyme
Only cells that undergo cell division
