Chapter 7 Flashcards
The study of bone
osteology
composed of bones, cartilage, and ligaments
form strong, flexible framework of the body
skeletal system
Forerunner of most bones
covers many joint surfaces of mature bone
Cartilage
holds bones together at the joints (bone to bone)
Ligaments
attach muscle to bone
Tendons
Cartilage turns to what
Bone
Holds up the body, supports muscles mandible and maxilla support teeth
Support
brain, spinal cord, heart, lungs
Protection
limb movements, breathing , action of muscle on bone
Movement
calcium and phosphate ions
calcium needs to stay closer to the same level
Electrolyte balance
buffers blood against excessive pH changes
Acid- base balance
red bone marrow is the chief producer of blood cells
Blood formation
connective tissue with the matrix hardened by calcium phosphate and other minerals
Bone ( osseous tissue)
the hardening process of bones
Mineralization or calcification
_____ consists of bone tissue, bone marrow, cartilage, adipose tissue, nervous tissue, and fibrous connective tissue
Individual bones
Continually remodels itself and interacts physically with all of the other organ systems of the body
It shapes changes a little over time
Bones
Permeated with nerves and blood vessels, which attests to its sensitivity and metabolic activity
Bones and osseous tissue
Protect soft organs
curved but wide and thin
ex skull (occipital bone)
Flat bones
Longer than wide (columnar look)
Rigid levers acted upon by muscles
ex. Radius
Long bones
Equal in length and width (cube look)
Glide across one another I multiple directions
ex Carpels
Short bones
Elaborate shapes that do not fit into other categories
ex Ethmoid bone
Irregular bone
Outer shell of long bone
Compact (dense) bone
Cylinder of compact bone to provide leverage
Diaphysis (shaft)
Space in the diaphysis of a long bone that contains bone marrow
Medullary cavity (marrow cavity)
enlarged end of a long bone
enlarged to strengthen joint and attach ligaments and tendons
Epiphysis
covered by more durable compact bone
skeleton 3/4 compact and 1/4 spongy by weight
Spongy (cancellous) bone
___ bone in ends of long bones, and middle of nearly all others
Spongy Bone
layer of hyaline cartilage that covers the joint surface where one bone meets another; allows joint to move more freely and relatively friction free ( Range of Motion)
Articular cartilage
minute holes in the bone surface that allows blood vessels to penetrate (reduction)
Nutrient foramina
external sheath that covers bone except where there is articular cartilage
outer fibrous layer : perforating fibers
Inner osteogeneic layer
Periosteum (around the bone)
of collegen
some outer fibers continuous with the tendons that attach muscle to bone
consist of perforating fiber
Outer Fibrous layer
other out fibers that penetrate into the bone matrix
strong attachment and continuity from muscle to tendon to bone
Perforating Fibers
of bone - forming cells
important to growth of bone and healing of fractures
inner osteogenic layer
making something
osteogenic
thin layer of reticular connective tissue lining marrow cavity
has cells that dissolve osseous tissue and others that deposit it
Endosteum
are of hyaline cartilage that separates the marrow spaces of the epiphysis and diaphysis
enables growth in length
Epiphyseal line
Epiphyseal plate (growth plate)
in adults, a bony scar that marks where growth plate used to be
after stops growing
Epiphyseal line
continue to produce cartilage
ossify
sandwich- like construction
two layers of compact bone enclosing a middle layer of spongy bone
both surfaces of flat bone covered with periosteum
Dipole
General Features of a Flat Bone
spongy layer in the cranium
absorbs shock
marrow spaces lined with endosteum
the helment
Diploe
is connective tissue that consists of cells, fibers, and ground substance
Bone
Osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts
Four principal types of bone cells
stem cells found in endosteum, periosteum, and in central canals
creators
Osteogenic (osteoprogenitor)
FUNCTION: stem cells create new cells
LOCATION : endosteum, periosteum, central canals
OSteogenic cells
bone- forming cells
lines up as single layer of cells under endosteum and periosteum
nonmitosis (don’t replicate)
Synthesize soft organic matter of matrix which then hardens by mineral deposition
stress and fratures stimulate osteogenic cells to multiply more rapidly and increase # of osteocytes to reinforce or rebuild bone (constantly working)
secrete osteocalcin
Osteoblasts
FUNCTION: build your bones
Location: endosteum and periosteum
Osteoblasts
thought to be the structural protein of bone
stimulate insulin secretion of pancreas
Increases insulin sensitivity in adipocytes which in limit the growth of adipose tissue
Osteocalcin
former osteoblasts that have become trapped in the matrix they have deposited
Lacunae, Canaliculi, cytoplasmic processes
Some reabsorb bone matrix they have deposited
Contribute to calcium and phosphate ions
When stressed,produce biochemical signals that regulate bone remodeling
maintance
Osteocytes
FUNCTION: calcium and phosphate maintain trapped(bone) former osteoblasts become trapped
Contribute to homeostasis mechanism of bone density and calcium and phosphate ions
LOCATION: anywhere in bone
Osteocytes
tiny cavities where osteocytes reside
Lacunae
Little channels that connect lacunae
Canaliculi
reach into cancliculi
Cytoplasmic processes
_____ also stimulates insulin secretion of pancreas (regulates blood sugar)
Skeletal system
Bone- dissolving cells found on the bone surface
osteoclasts develop from same bone marrow stem cells that give rise to blood cells
Different origin from rest of bone cells (from immune cells come from blood)
usually large cells formed from fusion of several stem cells ( multiple cells fusioning together)
Wreaking Ball
osteoclasts
