Chapter Six: Skeletal System Flashcards
What are the three components of the Skeletal System?
- Bone
- Cartilage
- Tendons and Ligaments
What are the three types of Cartilage?
- Hyaline
- Fibrocartilage
- Elastic
What are the five functions of the Skeletal System
- Support
- Protection
- Movement
- Storage
- Blood Cell Production
What two things does the Skeletal System store?
Calcium and Phosphorus
Where does blood cell production take place in the Skeletal System?
Red Bone marrow
What are the two specialized cells that produce matrix in the Skeletal System?
Chondroblasts
Chondrocytes
What specialized cell forms the matrix?
Chondroblasts
What specialized cell is surrounded by matrix and is located in the lacunae?
Chondrocytes
What is made of collagen fibers for strength and proteoglycans for resiliency in cartilage?
Matrix
What is the double-layered connective tissue sheath that covers cartilage except at articulations?
Perichondrium
What are the two types of Perichondrium?
Inner and Outer
What kind of Perichondrium is more delicate, has fewer fibers, and contains chondroblasts?
Inner Perichondrium
What kind of Perichondrium has dense irregular connective tissue containing fibroblasts; penetrated by blood vessels and nerves?
Outer Perichondrium
What covers bones at joints; has no perichondrium, blood vessels, or nerves that is located in Cartilage?
Articulate Cartilage
What are the two types of Cartilage Growth?
Appositional and Interstitial
What type of cartilage growth: new chondrocytes and new matrix laid down at the periphery?
Appositional
What type of cartilage growth: chondrocytes within the tissue divide and add more matrix between cells?
Interstitial
The bone matrix is like reinforced….
concrete
The bone matrix is like steel reinforcing “rods” are collagen fibers, “cement” is…
Hydroxyapatite
What are the two organic components of the bone matrix?
Collagen and Proteoglycans
What is the inorganic component of the bone matrix and what kind of crystals?
Hydroxyapatite (CaPO4 crystals)
In Osteogenesis Imperfecta, the mildest types have a deficiency of…
Collagen
In Osteogenesis Imperfecta, the more severe types have production of…
Defective Collagen
In Osteogenesis Imperfecta, the most severe types have both…
defective collagen and are collagen deficient
Stem cells that develop into either chondroblasts or osteoblasts that are located in the periosteum
Osteochondral Progenitor Cells
What type of bone cell?
- formation of bone through ossification/osteogenesis
- collagen produced/processed by E.R. and Golgi, released by Exocytosis
- Matrix vesicles contain Ca2+ and PO43-
- Ossification forms bone by these bone cells
Osteoblasts
Matrix vesicles contain…
Ca2+ and PO43-
In Matrix Vesicles, hydroxyapatite crystals form, then are released by…
Exocytosis
Formation of bone by osteoblasts
Ossification
Osteoclasts are surrounded by the…
Matrix
What are the spaces occupied by osteocyte cell body?
Lacunae
What are the canals occupied by osteocyte cell processes which connect to other osteocytes
Canaliculi
Osteocytes: nutrients diffuse through tiny amount of liquid surrounding cell and filling __________ and __________
Lacunae and Canaliculi
Osteocytes can communicate and transfer nutrients from one cell to the next through…
Gap Junctions
Multi-nucleated and probably arise from fusion of multiple cells; involved in resorption of bone
Osteoclasts
Breakdown of bone into constituent parts
Resorption
Site at which cell membrane borders bone and resorption takes place
Ruffled Border
Osteoclast: H+ ions pumped across membrane, acidic environment causes _________________ of bone
Decalcification
Osteoclast: release enzymes that digest the __________ ___________ of bone
protein component
What type of bone?
- collagen fibers randomly oriented
- laid down during fetal development and during fracture repair
Woven Bone
What is the term associated with…
- removing old bone and adding new
- woven bone is ______ into lamellar bone
- changes bone structure to accommodate changes in mechanical stress
Remodeling
What type of bone?
- mature bone in sheets called lamellae
- within a layer, fibers are oriented in one direction
- fibers in one layer are usually oriented at a right angle to fibers in other layers - provides strength
Lamellar Bone
What part of Spongy Bone?
Interconnecting rods or plates of bone
- spaces filled with marrow
- oriented along stress lines
- consist of lamellae with osteocytes in lacunae
- blood vessels do not penetrate ______
Trabeculae

Osteon
What part of Compact Bone: parallel to long axis?
Central Canals
What part of Compact Bone: cocentric, circumferential, interstitial?
Lamellae
What part of Compact Bone: perpendicular to length of bone?
Perforating Canal
What part of Compact Bone?
- blood vessel-filled central canal
- concentric lamellae of bone surrounded central canal

Circumferential Lamellae is on the ______________ of a bone
periphery
