Chapter 6 Flashcards
what are bones made up of
- osseous tissue
- dense regular and irregular collagenous connective tissue as well as bone marrow- red (homocoeic tissue) and yellow (fat storage)
what are the 6 functions of the skeletal system?
- protection
- mineral storage and acid-base homeostasis
- blood cell formation
- fat storage
- movement
- support
this bone structure is longer than it is wide; ex: humerous
long bone
this bone structure is as long as it is wide; ex: wrist and ankle bones
short bone
this bone structure is thin and broad bones; ex: pelvis, sternum
flat bones
this bone structure is doesn’t fit in the other classes; ex: vertebrae and skull
irregular bones
this bone structure is flat, round; w/in tendon; ex: patella/ knee cap
sesamoid bones
in a long bone and forms a covering, rich with blood vessels and nerves; surrounds outer surface of long bones
periosterum
anchors periosteum firmly to underlying bone surface by penetrating deep into bone matrix
perforating fibers (slide 17)
shaft of the long bone
diaphysis
end of long bone
epiphysis
marrow cavity contains what?
either red or yellow bone marrow, depending on bone and age of individua
hard, dense outer region that allows bone to resist linear compression and twisting forces among other stresses outside
compact bone
honeycomb-like framework of bony struts; allows long bones to resist forces from many directions; provides a cavity for bone marrow middle of bone
spongy bone
Bony struts of spongy bone and all inner surfaces of bone are covered by a thin membrane
called endosteum
found separating both proximal and distal epiphyses from diaphysis
epiphseal lines
