Chapter 6 Flashcards
What is the hard calcified tissue of bone?
osseous tissue
What are the 2 forms of osseous tissue?
Spongy Bone –> Found on the interior of the bone
Compact bone –> solidly filled with opaque matrix which encloses spongy bone.
What are the cells of the bones?
- Osteogenic Cells –> Occurs on bone surface below periosteum. stem cells capable of making more cells
- Osteoblasts –> lie in a single layer on bone surface. Synthesize organic matter of bone. Has an abundance of Mitochondria and Rough ER
- Osteocytes –> former osteoblasts. trapped in deposited matrix, reside in lacunae.
- Osteoclasts –> Bone dissolving cells with multiple nuclei. lies on pits on bone surface.
Most bones of limbs specialized for leverage and movement are called _________
Long bones
The shaft of the long bone is called the
Diaphysis –> provides leverage
The head of the long bone is called the
Epiphysis –> expands and strengthens joints
What are features of flat bones?
- protective plates covering organs (e.g. sternum and heart, cranial bones and brain)
- May provide attachment surfaces for muscles
Short bones are considered ____?
wrist bones
Irregular bones would be ____?
Vertebrae
What is periosteum?
Fibrous sheath covering the bone.. covers both sides of the flat bones
What is Endosteum?
Covers the internal surface of bones
What are the 2 kinds of ossification?
Intramembranous ossification –> Produces flat bones of the skull and clavicle. Plays a role in thickening, strengthening, and remodeling of bone
Endochondrial ossification –> Produces most other bones (e.g. vertebra, ribs and pelvic bones, limbs and parts of the skull) Mensenchyme is first transformed into hyaline cartilage. Cartilage broken down and replaced by osseous tissue
What are 2 types of bone growth?
interstitial growth –> Chondrocytes multiply, enlarge, and secrete new matrix. occur in episyeal plate. Adds length until plate depleted.
Appositional Growth –> Only type in mature bone. New matrix deposited on tissue surface. Occurs by intramembraneous ossification
What is Hypocalcemia?
Calcium deficiency; causes muscle tremors; causes inability of muscles to relax
What is Hypercalcemia?
Depresses cardiac, muscular, and cardiac function
