Chapter 7- Bones Flashcards
Axial Skeleton
Central Portion (80), head and trunk
Appendicular Skeleton
Extremeties (126), extremities and attachments
Flat Bones
ribs, cranium
Short Bones
tarsals, carpals
Irregular Bones
vertebrae, facial
Long Bones
arms, legs
Diaphysis
long, narrow, shaft (body)
Medullary Cavity
within diaphysis, has bone marrow within it
Epiphysis
proximal and distal ends of long bones
Compact Bone
hard and dense, main shaft of long bone and outer layer of other bones
Haversian System or Osteon
Haversian canal, perforating (Volkmann canals)
Spongy or Cancellous bones
Meshwork of small, bony plates, filled with red bone marrow- epiphysis of long bones and centers of other bones
Red Marrow
ends of long bones and center of other bones, produce bone cells
Yellow Marrow
Central cavities of long bones, fat
Periosteum
Covers outside of bones, contains osteoblast, blood and lymph vessels, nerves
Endosteum
Lines bone marrow cavity, contains cells for growth and repair
Osteoblasts
build bone tissue (collagen and calcium salts)
Osteoclasts
break down bone tissue (resorption)
Osteocytes
maintain bone tissue (bone cells)
Ossification
Conversion of cartilage to bone
Long bone formation
epiphyseal plates at the end of long bones
Bone tissue regulation
osteoclasts resorb bone tissue, osteoblasts and osteocytes maintain and repair existing bone matrix, formation and resorption regulated by Vit D, calcitonin, PTH, sex hormones
Formation of Long Bone
Cartilage begins to turn into bone (ossification
Epiphyseal plates develop across bone ends
Bones continue to lengthen
Bones stop lengthening
Bone resorption and formation continues
Head
Rounded knoblike end
Process
large
Condyle
rounded
Crest
border or ridge
Spine
sharp
Foramen
hole for vessels or nerves
Sinus
air space
Fossa
depression
Meatus
short tunnel or passageway
Cranium (8)
Framework of the skull
Frontal bone
forehead, frontal sinuses and paranasal sinuses
Parietal (2)
top and sides
Temporal (2)
sides and base; mastoid sinuses, mastoid process, ear
Ethmoid
between eyes
Sphenoid
base of skull, sella turcia
Occipital bone
back and base, foramen magnum
Facial bones
14, framework of the skull
Mandible
lower jaw bone
Maxillae (2)
upper jaw bone, maxillary sinus
Zygomatic (2)
cheeks
Nasal bones (2)
bridge of nose
Lacrimal (2)
anterior, medial eye orbit
Vomer
nasal septum
Palatine (2)
back of hard palate
Inferior nasal conchae (2)
interior wall of nasal cavities
Other bones
ear ossicles, hyoid bone
Sutures
coronal suture, squamous suture, lambdoid suture
Vertebral column
framework of the trunk
Cervical (7)
neck
Atlas (1st)
nods head
Axis (2nd)
pivots head
Thoracic (12)
mostly inside ribcage
