a tough, ropelike protein that makes cartilage tough
CHOICES:
Hydroxyapatite, Collagen, Tendons and ligaments, Proteoglycans, Cartilage, Brittle bone disease
Collagen
large molecules consisting of many polysaccharides attaching to and encircling core protein
CHOICES:
Hydroxyapatite, Collagen, Tendons and ligaments, Proteoglycans, Cartilage, Brittle bone disease
Proteoglycans
contains collagen and proteoglycans.
CHOICES:
Hydroxyapatite, Collagen, Tendons and ligaments, Proteoglycans, Cartilage, Brittle bone disease
Cartilage
form large aggregates, attract and retain large amounts of water between the polysaccharides.
CHOICES:
Hydroxyapatite, Collagen, Tendons and ligaments, Proteoglycans, Cartilage, Brittle bone disease
Proteoglycans
contains large amounts of collagen fibers, making these structures very tough, like ropes or cables.
CHOICES:
Hydroxyapatite, Collagen, Tendons and ligaments, Proteoglycans, Cartilage, Brittle bone disease
Tendons and ligaments
make the cartilage smooth
and resilient
CHOICES:
Hydroxyapatite, Collagen, Tendons and ligaments, Proteoglycans, Cartilage, Brittle bone disease
Proteoglycans
most of the minerals in bone, in the form of calcium
phosphate crystals
CHOICES:
Hydroxyapatite, Collagen, Tendons and ligaments, Proteoglycans, Cartilage, Brittle bone disease
Hydroxyapatite
osteogenesis imperfecta/ imperfect bone formation, rare disorder caused by any
one of a number of faulty genes that result in either too little collagen formation, or poor quality collagen
CHOICES:
Hydroxyapatite, Collagen, Tendons and ligaments, Proteoglycans, Cartilage, Brittle bone disease
Brittle bone disease
longer than they are wide
CHOICES:
Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones, Irregular bones
Long bones
approximately as wide as they are long; examples are the bones of the wrist and ankle
CHOICES:
Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones, Irregular bones
Short bones
this shape enhances their function in the movement of appendages.
CHOICES:
Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones, Irregular bones
Long bones
well-suited to providing a strong barrier around soft organs such as the brain and heart
CHOICES:
Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones, Irregular bones
Flat bones
include the vertebrae and facial bones, which have shapes that do not fit readily into the other three categories
CHOICES:
Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones, Irregular bones
Irregular bones
they help transfer force between long bones
CHOICES:
Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones, Irregular bones
Short bones
have a relatively thin, flattened shape
CHOICES:
Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones, Irregular bones
Flat bones
these bones tend to have specialized functions, such as providing protection while allowing bending and flexing of certain body regions such as the spine
CHOICES:
Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones, Irregular bones
Irregular bones
two ends of a bone
CHOICES:
Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Articular, Epiphyseal plate, Epiphyseal line, Medullary cavity, Marrow, Yellow marrow, Red marrow
Epiphysis
central shaft of bone
CHOICES:
Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Articular, Epiphyseal plate, Epiphyseal line, Medullary cavity, Marrow, Yellow marrow, Red marrow
Diaphysis
covers the ends of the
epiphyses where the bone articulates (joins) with other bones.
CHOICES:
Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Articular, Epiphyseal plate, Epiphyseal line, Medullary cavity, Marrow, Yellow marrow, Red marrow
Articular
where the bone grows in length.
CHOICES:
Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Articular, Epiphyseal plate, Epiphyseal line, Medullary cavity, Marrow, Yellow marrow, Red marrow
Epiphyseal plate
The large cavity in the diaphysis
CHOICES:
Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Articular, Epiphyseal plate, Epiphyseal line, Medullary cavity, Marrow, Yellow marrow, Red marrow
Medullary cavity
when bone growth stops, the cartilage of each epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone
CHOICES:
Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Articular, Epiphyseal plate, Epiphyseal line, Medullary cavity, Marrow, Yellow marrow, Red marrow
Epiphyseal line
soft tissue that fills the spaces
CHOICES:
Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Articular, Epiphyseal plate, Epiphyseal line, Medullary cavity, Marrow, Yellow marrow, Red marrow
Marrow
consists mostly of adipose tissue
CHOICES:
Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Articular, Epiphyseal plate, Epiphyseal line, Medullary cavity, Marrow, Yellow marrow, Red marrow
Yellow marrow
