Bone Tissue
Cartilage
Dense Connective Tissue
Blood and Nervous Tissue
Bones of the skeletal system vary greatly in these ways
Size and Shape
Bones are similar in what functions?
Structure
Development
Function
How are long bones classified?
Long and Narrow
Have Expanded Ends
How are short bones classified?
Cube-Like, Length=Width Includes Sesamoid (Round) Bones Embedded in Tendons
How are flat bones classified?
Plate-like, with broad surfaces
How are irregular bones classified?
Variety of Shapes
Most are connected to several other bones
What is a epiphysis?
Expanded Shaft
What is a Diaphysis?
Bone Shaft
Where is a Metaphysis?
Between diaphysis and epiphysis, widening part
What is articular cartilage?
Covers epiphysis
What is the Periosteum?
Encloses bone, made of dense connective tissue
What is a compact (cortical) bone
Wall of diaphysis
What is a spongy (cancellous) bone
Makes up epiphyses
What is a trabeculae
branching bony parts, make up psongy bone
what is the medullary cavity?
Hollow chamber in diaphysis; contains marrow
what is the endosteum?
lines spaces, cavity
what is bone marrow?
red or yellow marrow, lines medullary cavity, spongy bone spaces
Mature bone cells are called
osteocytes
Osteocytes occupy chambers called
lacunae
What are canaliculi?
Osteocytes exchange nutrients and wastes via cell processes within tiny passageways
The ECM of bone is largely
collagen fibers and irganic salts
Bones - collagen gives bone
resilience
Bones - inorganic salts make bone
hard
