Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure Notes Flashcards
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
the skeletal system includes
bones of the skeleton
cartilages
ligaments
other connective tissues
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
function of the skeletal system
structural support
storage of minerals and lipids
blood cell production
protection and leverage
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
categories of bones (shapes)
long short irregular flat sesamoid sutural (wormian)
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
a typical long bone has
diaphysis epiphyses metaphyses articular cartilages marrow cavity
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
diaphysis
the shaft of the bone
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
epiphyses
head of the bone, this is where the growth plate is found
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
metaphysys
referred to as the neck of the bone
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
articular cartialage
the region of the bone that articulates with another bone forming a joint
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
marrow cavity
center cavity of the bone and is composed of soft marrow
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
where does blood cell production occur
marrow cavity
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
what are the two types f bone
compact (dense)
spongy (cancellous)
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
the marrow cavity and spaces within spongy bone contain two types of _________
bone marrow
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
two types of bone marrow
yellow (lipid storage)
red (blood cell formation)
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
________ is a supporting connective tissue with a solid matrix
osseous tissue
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
the ________ is very dense and contains deposits of calcium salts
bone matrix
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
the bone matrix consists of
largely of crystals of hydroxyapatite (formed when calcium phosophate interacts with calcium hydroxide)
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
______ are mature bone cells that account for most of the cell population
osteocytes
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
each osteocyte occupies a
lacuna
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
lacuna
a pocket sandwiched between layers of matrix
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
layers of matrix are called
lamellae
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
function of osteocytes
maintain and monitor the protein and mineral content of the surrounding matrix
also can participate in the repair of damaged bone
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
osteoblasts synthesize the bony matrix in a process called
osteogenesis
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
bone contains small numbers of mesenchymal cells called
osteoprogenitor cells
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
osteoprogenitor cells function
divide to produce daughter cells that differentiate into osteoblasts
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
________ giant cells with 50 or more nuclei
osteoclasts
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
osteoclasts dissolve the bony matrix through
osteolysis or resorption
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
osteoclasts are always _______ matrix and osteoblasts are always _________
removing
adding it
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
basic functional unit of compact bone
osteon
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
the osteon contains
osteocytes
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
the osteocytes are arranged around a
central canal
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
______ are layers of calcified matrix
lamellae
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
_______ within and between lamellae interconnect the
canaliculi
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
spongy bone contains
trabeculae (struts and plates) in an open network
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
_______ is located where stresses come from a limited range of directions
compact bone
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
______ is located where stresses are few or come from many directions
spongy bone
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
a bone is covered by a
periosteum
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
a bone is lined with
endosteum
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
the _______ has a fibrous outer layer and a cellular layer
periosteum
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
function of periosteum
isolates the bone from surrounding tissues
provides a route for circulatory and nervous supply
actively participates in bone growth and repair
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
what does the endosteum contain
incomplete cellular layer line
marrow cavity
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
what does the endosteum cover
the trabeculae of spongy bone and lines the inner surfaces of the central canals
Chapter 6 - Osseous Tissue and Skeletal Structure
function of endosteum
bone growth, repair, and remodeling
