Chapter 6: Bones and Skeletal Tissues Flashcards
A type of skeletal cartilage that provides support, flexibility, and resilience. Is the most abundant type
Hyaline cartilage
Is a type of skeletal cartilage that is similar to hyaline cartilages but contain elastic fibers
Elastic cartilages
Type of skeletal cartilage that has collagen fibers that have great tensile strength
Fibrocartilages
Cells that secrete matrix against the external face of existing cartilage
Appositional
Chondrocytes divide and secrete new matrix, expanding cartilage from within
Interstitial
Calcification of cartilage occurs during
Normal bone growth and old age
Are the two main groups of bones
Axial and appendicular
Is a bone marking That has a rounded projection
Tuberosity
Is a bone marking that has a narrow, prominent ridge
Crest
Is a bone marking that has a sharp, slender projection
Spine
Is a projection that helps form a joint. Is a bony expansion carried on a narrow neck
Head
Bone marking: depressions and openings
A cavity within a bone
Sinus
Bone markings: depressions and openings
Round or oval opening through a bone
Foramen
A bone that has a dense outer layer
Compact bone
A bone that has honeycomb of trabeculae
Spongy (cancellous) bone
Structure of long bones:
The diaphysis is the what of a bone
Shaft
Structure of long bone:
Compact bone collar surrounds what
Medullary (marrow) cavity
Structure of long bone:
Medullary cavity in adults contains…
Fat(yellow marrow)
Structure of long bones:
Has expanded ends, spongy bone interior, epiphyseal line, and articulate (hyaline) cartilage on joint surfaces
Epiphyses
Membranes of bones:
Has an outer fibrous layer and an inner osteogenic layer
Periosteum
Are bone forming cells
Osteoblasts
Are bone destroying cells
Osteoclasts
Are bone stem cells
Osteogenic cells
Nerve fibers, nutrient blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels enter the bone via…
Nutrient foramina
Is a delicate membrane on internal surfaces of bone that also contain osteoblasts and osteoclasts
Endosteum
Covers compacts bone on the outside
Periosteum
