Chapter 6 Flashcards
type of cartilage that composes the articular cartilage
hyaline
carpal bones are examples of this type of bone
short
if osteoclasts are more active than osteoblast, this condition will develop
osteopenia
this type of marrow is found in spongy (cancellous) bone
red
excessive growth hormone prior to puberty could result in their unusual growth in height
giantism
a fracture that is completely internal and fractures bone does not protrude through the skin
colles
the large proximal projection on the femur
trochanter
this process results in interstitial lamellae
bone remodeling
cells that secrets the organic component of the bone matrix
osteoblast
the interconnecting tiny bony arches of spongy bone tissue
trabecular
this cavity stores fat (yellow marrow)
medullary
the smooth, rounded articular process of a bone
condyle
a narrow passageway that contains cytoplasmic extensions of osteocytes for nutrient diffusion
canaliculi
structural units of mature compact bone
osteons
a hole through a bone
foramen
this dense connective tissue surrounds a bone
periosteum
elevated levels of calcium ion in the blood stimulate the secretion of this hormone
calcitonin
the deposition of calcium salts in bone tissues
ossification
the type of lamellae that surround a central canal
concentric
this cartilage plate allows bones to grow in length
epiphyseal
bone that develops within a tendon
sesamoid
small, oddly shaped bones that fill gaps between bones of the skull
sutural
a disease in which a child’s legs may now under the weight of the body
rickets
a condition in which bone becomes riddled with holes
osteoporosis
the medullary cavity of bones contains this
marrow
this canal of an osteon contains blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels
central
the lining of the medullary cavity of a long bone
endosteum
an example of an irregular bone
vertebrae
elevated levels of these hormones causes accelerated closure of the epiphyseal plates and short stature
sex
chondroitin sulfate is found in this tissue, but not osseous tissue
cartilage
the space occupied by an osteocyte
lacuna
after a fracture of the diaphysis of w bone has healed, the thickened region may persist is called an external
callus
this vitamin is required to absorb calcium and phosphate ions from the digestive tract
vitamin D3
this genetic disease is caused by a mutation and affects bone growth and cartilage growth, resulting in long, skinny bones
marfans
the shaft of a long bone
diaphysis
dissolve bone matrix
osteoclast
mature bone cell
osteocytes
the most abundant mineral in the human body
calcium
the type of lamellae that surrounds an entire bone
circumferential
epiphyseal plates changes in this way after puberty because of increased sex hormone production, and eventually close, ending growth in height
narrow
