Chapter 6 - Bone Tissue Flashcards
Osteology
Study of Bone
Arthrology
Study of joints
Kinesiology
Study of musculoskeletal movement
Difference in ligaments and tendons?
Ligaments - bone to bone
Tendons - boen to muscle
How does the skeletal system help with support?
Limbs and vertebral column support other organs/things
Ex: mandible and maxilla support teeth
How does the skeletal system help with protection?
Protects brain, spinal cord, lungs, heart, pelvic viscera, and all that good stuff
How does the skeletal system help with movement?
Helps with attachment/leverage, ventilation
How does the skeletal system help with blood formation?
Forms RBCs and immune cells
How does the skeletal system help with storage?
Reservoir for calcium and phosphorous (released PRN)
Bone marrow - reserve of stored fuel/fat
Electrolyte, acid/base balances
What are long bones and what are the 2 major structures within them?
Most limb bones (help with leverage and movement)
Diaphysis (shaft)
Epiphysis (head)
Where is the medullary cavity found and what is found inside it?
Found in diaphysis, made up of yellow bone marrow (red marrow in kids)
What is the outer sheath of bone called? Inner lining?
Periosteum (collagen)
Endosteum (reticular CT)
What are flat bones and where are they found?
Protective plates, found around the sternum, heart, and the cranial bones
What makes up flat bones?
Two layers of compact bone (periosteum) surrounding a middle layer of spongy bone (endosteum)
What are the 4 types of bone cells?
- Osteogenic cells
- Osteoblasts
- Osteocytes
- Osteoclasts
What is the function of osteogenic (osteochondral progenitor) cells?
Develop from mesenchymal cells
Form the endosteum
Stem cells that form osteoblasts
What are the functions of osteoblasts?
To build bone
Single layer on bone surface (endosteum or periosteum)
Produce collagen and proteoglycans
What is ossification?
Formation of bone by osteoblasts
What are the functions of osteocytes?
Mature bone cells (former osteoblasts)
Trapped in lucunae (connected by canaliculi)
Maintain the matrix
What are the functions of osteoclasts?
Bone crushers (bone dissolving cells)
Develop from bone marrow stem cells (monocytes)
LARGE cells with MANY nuclei
Where is the bone matrix found?
Surrounds osteocytes and lacunae
