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
Blood supply to short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid bones is provided mostly by vessels in where?
periosteum
Long bones get a third of their blood supply from where?; mostly supplies compact bone
periosteum
Remaining two-thirds (in long bone) is supplied by what?;
one or two nutrient arteries
what is found in the ends of long bone in epandageous; in femur, sternum, hip, and humerous; replaced by yellow marrow
red blood marrow
who has more red blood marrow a child or an adult?
Children need more red marrow to assist in their growth and development
; amount of red blood marrow decreases w age
what is composed of triglycerides, blood vessels, and adipocytes
yellow blood marrow
substance in inorganic matrix
hydroxypatetie
predominant protein fiber; forms cross-links with one another; helps bone resist torsion (twisting) and tensile (pulling or stretching) forces
collagen
