Chapter 6 Part 1 Flashcards
Study of bone structure and treatment methods
Osteology
Supports and protects- assist in movement -mineral homeostasis -blood cell production -triglyceride storage
Bone tissue functions
Cylindrical portion
Diaphysis (saft) (long bone)
Distal and proximal ends
Epiphyses (long bone)
Joins diaphysis with epiphyses -ingrowing bones
Metaphysis (long bone)
Growth plate,involved in bone growth and length
Ephiphyseal (metaphysis)
At age 18-21 ______ stops growing in length and epiphyseal plate is replaced by epiphyseal line -rich in blood and nerve supply
Bones
Hyaline cartilage covering epiphysis in synovial joints
Articular cartilage
Outer bone covering- permits bone growth in thickness -attachment point for ligaments and tendons
Periosteum
Space in diaphysis
Meduallary cavity
Membrane lining medullary cavity
Endosteum
Matrix surrounding ________ consists of 25% water 25% collagen fiver and 50% salts
Bone cells
The most abundant slat hardens bone
Calcium phosphate
Contribute to tensile strength
Collagen fibers
Bone stem cells that divide to form osteoblast
Osteogenic
Immature bone building cells
Osteoblast
Mature bone cells that maintain bone tissue
Osteocytes
Function in bone resorption; crush bone, controlling blood calcium levels
Osteoclasts
Most common and strongest type -forms exterior of all bones -blood vessels penetrate compact bone though horizontal perforating canals
Compact (dense bone)
Structural units of compact bone consisting of concentric lamelle, lacunae, canaliculi
Osteons (compact bone)
Rings of calcified bone matrix
Concentric lamelle (osteons)
Spaces containing osteocytes
Lacumae (osteons)
Small channels permitting osteocytes to exchange materials with blood
Canaliculi (osteons )
Appeals like sponge that lightens bone -some adults spongy bone contain red bone marrow including axial skeleton, pelvic bone and ends of long bones
Spongy (cancellous) bone
