Chapter 7: Tissues of Skeletal System Flashcards
connective tissue with matrix hardened by minerals
osseous (bone) tissue
forerunner of most bones, present in joints
cartilage
connect bones at joints
ligaments
functions of skeletal system
- support
- protection
- movement
calcium and phosphate ions
electrolyte balance
buffers blood against pH changes (absorbing and releasing phosphates)
acid-base balance
red bone marrow=produces blood cells
blood formation
levers acted upon by muscles
long bones
femur, ulna, radius
long bones
bones that glide across one another
short bones
talus, capitula
short bones
bones that protect soft organs
flat bones
sternum, scapula, skull
flat bones
bones with elaborate shapes
irregular bones
sphenoid, vertabrae
irregular bones
ends of the bone
epiphysis
the middle length of the bone
diaphysis
denser, stronger bone type that provides structure and protection
compact bone
found in the ends of long bones or middle of other bones; lighter and less dense
spongy bone
hollow part on the bone that contains blood marrow
marrow cavity
connective tissue that covers the end of bones that articulate with other bones
articular cartilage
connective tissue covering all surfaces of bones except for joints
periosteum
spongy layer in cranium
dipole
lines the inner surfaces of bones
endosteum
cells that can form into osteocytes, osteoblasts, or osteoclasts; ex:stem cells, mesenchyme cells
osteogenic cells
bone-forming cells; non-mitotic, synthesize organic matter for mineralization or ossification
osteoblasts
former osteoblasts that reside in lacunae
osteocyte
bone-dissolving cells on bone surface
osteoclasts
1/3 of the dry weight of bone matrix
organic
2/3 of the dry weight of bone matrix
inorganic
synthesized by osteoblasts; ex: collagen, carbohydrate-protein complexes
organic matter
85% hydroxyapatite, 10% CaCO3, other minerals like fluoride, sodium, potassium, magnesium)
inorganic matter
pushing on bones
compression
pulling on bones
tension
having soft bones, deficiency of calcium salts; cannot resist compression
rickets
brittle bone disease; lack of collagen; cannot resist tension
osteogenic imperfecta
basic structural unit of bone
osteon
layers of matrix that form cylinders
lamellae
canal running down the middle of the osteon
central canal
not arranged as osteons, inner and outer boundaries
circumferential lamellae
