Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue Flashcards
How do you find bone classification?
1) by shape
2) by type or form
Define long (shape)
Longer than it is wide ( wrist/ ankle)
Define short (shape)
Like boxes (carpals/ tarsals)
Define flat (shape)
Scapula, sternum,ribs,cranial
Define irregular (shape)
Complicated shapes (coaxial,facial bones)
Define sesamoid (shape)
Formed within tendons (patella)
Define sutural (shape)
(Wormia) within sutures (skull)
Define compact (type/form)
1)Outside of bone forms the wall of the bone (cortical bone-dense solid)
What is compacts functional unit?
Osteon> in the direction of osteos
What is compacts functions?
To bare bone weight
In parallel rows
Determines the thickness of the bone
Define spongy bone (trabecular)
Found on the inside of the bone (on the ends of long bones) (network of struts)
What is the spongy bones functions?
1) makes bones lighter(easier to move)
2) support bone marrow
3) cells
4) absorbs shock
5) no stress
What are the 7 parts of a long bone?
1) diaphysis
2) epiphysis
3) metaphysis
4) medullary cavity
5) endosteum
6) periosteum
7) articular cartilage
Define diaphysis
Short (compact)
Define epiphysis
Ends of the bone
