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
