chapter 6- bone tissue Flashcards
5 functions of bones
support, protection, movement, mineral storage, blood cell formation
what minerals are stored in bones
calcium and phosphorus
hematopoiesis occurs in
bone marrow
where are adipose cells held
yellow bone marrow
bones are considered
organs
3 levels of bone structure
gross, microscopic, chemical
types of bones
long, short, flat, irregular, sesamoid
diaphysis
middle section of bone
epiphyses
knobs on either end, proximal and distal
metaphysis
divider between diaphysis and epiphyses
articular cartilage
cartilage on both ends of a bone
periosteum
connective epithelial tissue that surrounds bone
endosteum
inside layer of hone that holds blood vessels, fat, water
medullary cavity
innermost portion, hollow with yellow bone marrow
osteoprogenitor cells
comes after mesenchyme and develops into osteoblasts
osteoblasts
form extracellular matrix
osteocytes
maintains blood tissue
osteoclasts
breakdown bones
osteon
fundamental unit of bones
lamella
rings in inner circle of osteon made of collagen fibers going in alternating directions
central canal
hollow center of osteon for blood and lymph vessels, where blood cells are formed
canaliculi
microscopic canals that connect osteocytes
ossification
process of bone tissue formation
intramembranous ossification
membrane bones forming from fibroid membrane, ex cranial bones
