Class 15 Flashcards
Q8. Attchment of muscle to bone
Tendon
Q8. Define periosTeum
Peri: around; osteo: bone; dense, white, fibrous membrane covers bone except at joint surfaces (or the articular cartilage) and its associated blood vessels. Periosteum is sleeve-like around the bone. the muscle tendon fibers interlace with the periosteal fibers and some penetrate into the bone itself (acting as an anchor).
Q8. Define pronation
Turning the forearm and hand down or away
Q8. Define supination
Turning forearm and hand up or forward.
Q8. Describe endosteum.
(Within) A thin membrane that lines the medullary cavity. This layer contains a single layer of bone-forming cells and a small amount of connective tissue.
Q8. Describe flat bones
Broad, thin with flattened edge. OFTEN CURVED AND CONTAINS RED BONE MARROW IN ADULTS. (Composed of two nearly parallel plates of compact bone enclosing a layer of spongy bone. flat bones afford considerable protection and provide extensive areas for muscle attachment.
Q8. Describe irregular bones
Various shapes and sizes, and cannot be grouped in flat, short or long. They also vary in the amount of spongy and compact bone present.
Q8. Describe long bones.
Long hollow shafts with expanded articular ends. They are slightly curved for strength, and consist mostly of conpact bone tissue, whis is dense and has few spaces, but they also contain considerable amounts of spongy bone tissue, which has larger spaces.
Q8. Describe osteocytes.
(Mature bone cells) semi-retired osteoblasts. Maintain bone tissue (daily metabolism).
Q8. Describe sesamoid bones
Completely enveloped in a tendon. They are not always completely ossified and measure only a few millimeters in diameter except for the two patelae (kneecaps). Sesamoid bones vary in number from person to person except for the patellae. Sesmoid bones protect tendons from excessive wear and tear.
Q8. Describe short bones
Cube or box shaped; as broad as they are long. They consist ofspongy bone except at the surface, where there is a thin layer of compact bone.
Q8. Describe tendon
Fibrous (dense regular) connective tissue ropes or bands attach skeletal muscle to bones
Q8. Describe the continuous fibrous network of the muscles, tendons and bones.
The connective tissue components of muscle (epi-, peri-, endo-mysium) are continuous with similar wrappings around collagen ropes in the tendon. the extension of these wrapping and the ropes are continuous with the periosteum and the bone itself; theis makes bones part of the continuous FIBROUS network.
Q8. Describe the medullary cavity of the long bone.
Tube-like hollow space inside diaphysis, also called the marrow cavity.
Q8. Describe yellow bone marrow.
Mainly adipose cells, stores triglycerides (a potential energy reserve. )
Q8. Examples of flat bones
Sternum, ribs, scapula, cranial bones, pelvis, clavicle
Q8. Examples of irregular bones
Vertebrae, certain facial bones, calcaneus (heel bone).
Q8. Examples of long bones
Femur (thigh), tibia and fibula (leg), phalanges(toes), humerus (arm), ulna and radius (forearm), phalanges (fingers).
Q8. Examples of sesamoid bones
Patella (the largest), pisiform, and some others that are not present in everyone.
