Chapter 7- Skeletal system Flashcards
List the cell types that compromise bone
Osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts
Describe the function of Osteoblasts
Rapidly dividing bone cells
Describe the function of Osteocytes
Mature bone cells- they can revert back to osteoblasts.
Make the matrix
Describe the function of osteoclasts
Eat away bone. Can allow the calcium level in the blood.
List the functions of bone
Support
Protection
Blood Cell formation
Leverage
Storage- Calcium
Differentiate between cancellous bone and compact bone
Cancellous- Light and spongey
Spicules randomly arranged throughout
Highly vascular
(bone marrow)
Compact- heavy and dense
tight, tiny, compacted cylinders of bone - Haversian Systems and canaliculi
Outside layer of all bones
Describe the process of endochondral bone formation and growth
Cartilage template replaced by bone
Primary growth center is diaphysis
Secondary growth center is epiphysis
- cartilage cells creates cartilage along epiphyseal plate
-Osteoblasts replace cartilage with bone
-when bone is full size epiphyseal plates ossify
Describe the process of intramembranous bone formation
Occurs only in certain skull bones
Bone develops from fibrous membrane tissues
List and describe four bone shapes
Long, short, flat, irregular
Long bones
Extremities
Main part is the diaphysis (long part)
Also has epiphysis (ends)
Short bones
In joints
Core of sponge y bone covered by thin layer of compact bone
Examples are carpal bones
Flat bones
Skull bones and scapula
Two thin plates of compact bone separated by layer of cancellous bone
Irregular bones
Vertebrae and sesamoid bones
(Patella is the largest sesamoid bones)
List the components of axial and appendicular skeletons
Axial - located along axis
- bones of the head, spine, hyoid and trunk
Appendicular
-bones of the limbs
Name the internal and external bones of the face
External (landmark)
Incisive bone
Lacrimal bones
Mandible
Maxilary bones
Nasal bones
Zygomatic bones
Internal (hidden)
Palatine bones
Pterygoid bones
Turbinates
Vomer bone
List the division of the spinal column
Cervical
Thoracic
Lumbar
Sacral
Coccygeal
Describe the structure of ribs and the sternum
Ribs-
Ribs
Costochondral junction
Coastal arch
Floating rib
Sternum-
Manubrium
Xiphoid process
Xiphoid cartilage
Sternebra
sternal attached to sternebra (7)
asternal ribs attached through costal arch (5)
floating ribs- not attached - 13
Ribs numbered cranially down
Name the bones of the thoracic and pelvic limbs
Bone
2nd hardest structure in the body
Connective tissue -
Sparse population if cells of cells embedded in a matrix
1/3 organic (collagen), 2/3 inorganic salts
Skeletal Matrix
The bone matrix is that part of the bone tissue and forms most of the mass of the bone. It is comprised of organic and inorganic substances. The organic component of the bone matrix includes the collagen and ground substance whereas the inorganic component is the inorganic bone salts
Lacunae
Small cavities within the matrix of some connective tissue (bone cartilage) that contain chondrocytes and osteocytes
Canaliculi
Tiny channels through bone connecting osteocytes
Ossification
Hardening of osteoblasts. Matrix is infiltrated with calcium and phosphate and hardens.
Haversian Systems
Makes up compact bone
Consists of central Haversian canal running lengthwise surrounded by concentric layers of bone
Epiphyseal Plates
Cartilage located between Epiphysis and Diaphysis
Sites where new bone develope
Red bone marrow
Majority of marrow in young animals but only a small amount in older
- In older, mostly in the epiphysis
Red bone marrow forms cell
Yellow bone marrow
Consists mostly of adipose connective tissue
Most common marrow in older animals
Can convert back to red bone marrow
Periosteum
Fibrous outer layer of the bones, except joint surfaces
Where tendons and ligaments connect
Has two layers
- inner: osteoblasts
- Outer: fibrous tissue
Endosteum
Fibrous membrane lining hollow interior of bone
Medullary Cavity
Inside the diaphysis
Volkman’s Canals
Blood supply to bones
Channels through bone matrix that contain blood vessels
Join at right angles to Haversian system
Nutrient Foramia
Large channels in long bones
Carry blood in and out of bone marrow
Also has lymph vessels and nerves
May resemble fracture in rads
