Class 16 Flashcards
Q9 What is the movement of gomphoses?
none
Q9. __________ is the mature bone cell that maintains bone tissue.
osteocyte
Q9. All synovial joints are ____________?
diarthroses
Q9. Another name for osteon is __________.
Haversian system
Q9. Are bone cells alive?
yes
Q9. Both _____________ of spongy bone tissue and ____________ of compact bone tissue are arranged along lines of stress, and their orientation differs between individual bones according to the nature and magnitude of the applied load (force). (i.e. dancer vs. couch potato.)
trabeculae, osteons
Q9. Can you distinguish the two types of cartilaginous joints, based on type of cartilage and location in body?
SYNCHONDROSES: cartilage joint found between sternum and 1st rib, and the epiphyseal plate (hyaline cartilaged); SYMPHYSES: padded fibrocartilage which permits slight movement, found only in the midline of the body (fibrocartilage)
Q9. Can you identify cellular and extracellular components of cartilage?
CELLULAR: chondrocytes (mature cartilage maintaining cells); EXTRACELLULAR: the matrix - chondroitin sulfate (a rubbery base) and collagen fibers within
Q9. Compact bone lies over what type of bone?
spongy bone
Q9. Define articulation.
a joint; a point of contact between bones
Q9. Define concentric lamellae.
rings (like rings in a tree trunk) of hard calcified matrix
Q9. Define fibrocartilaginous callus.
a mass of repair tissue consisting of collagen fibers and cartilage that bridges the broken ends of the bone.
Q9. Define fracture.
any break in the continuity of a bone.
Q9. define lacunae in bone?
spaces in between the rings of concentric lamellae, that contain fluid and osteocytes
Q9. Describe “bone remodeling”
the final phase of fracture repair. dead portions of the original fragments of broken bone are gradually reabsorbed by osteoclasts. compact bone replaces spongy bone around the periphery of the fracture.
Q9. describe “bony callus formation”
in areas closer to well-vascularized healthy bone tissue, osteogenic cells develop into osteoblasts, which begin to produce spongy bone trabeculae. the trabeculae join living and dead portions of the original bone fragments. in time, the fibrocartilage is converted to spongy bone, and the callus ihs then referred to as a callus. this lasts about 3 to 4 months.
Q9. Describe and give an example of dense fibrous connective tissue.
collagen fibers are arranged regularly in parallel bundles, such as tendons and ligaments
Q9. Describe and give an example of dense irregular connective tissue.
random and intertwined, collagen fibers are packed closely together, irregular arranged, such as in the dermis, periosteum and scar tissue.
Q9. Describe chondrocyte.
mature cartilage maintaining cells.
Q9. Describe elastic cartilage.
contains a large number of very fine elastic fibers, therefore a HIGH DEGREE OF FLEXIBILITY, maintains shape and gives support
Q9. Describe fibrocartilage.
stongest, most durable; rigid
Q9. Describe hyaline cartilage.
“glassy” (low collagen) shiny; most prevelant type of cartilage found in the body,
Q9. Describe the matrix of cartilage
chondroitin sulfate, a rubbery base.
Q9. Describe the subtypes of fibrous joints.
SYNDESMOSES: includes interosseus membrane (ligament) tibia/fibula, radius/ulna; SUTURE: between cranial bones of the skull, interlocking bones held together by a thin fibrous layer of connective tissue; GOMPHOSIS: tooth and socket joint
Q9. Describe trabeculae.
needle-like bony spicules, lattice work, that forms spongy bone.
Q9. Distinguish between the structure of spongy and compact bone regarding concentric lamellae.
SPONGY: no concentric lamellae. COMPACT: rings of hard calcified matrix (mineral salts and collagen fibers)
Q9. Distinguish between the structure of spongy and compact bone regarding osteons and their contents.
SPONGY: no osteons, instead trabeculae (irregular lattice of thin columns), which contain lacunae that contain osteocytes and canaliculi. COMPACT: osteons (structure of compact bone, tubelike cylinder), which contains lacaunae that contain osteocytes and canaliculi AND a centralc canal and is concentrically arranged lamellae.
Q9. Distinguish the 3 structural classification and 3 functional classifications of joints
structural: fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial; functional: synarthroses, amphiarthroses, diarthroses
Q9. Distinguish the three different types of cartilage based on differences in their matrix and in their locations in the body.
HYALINE CARTILAGE: shiny, ground substance with fine collagen fibers and many chondrocytes; located at the ends of bones, anterior ends of ribs, nose, parts of larynx, etc. FIBROCARTILAGE: chondrocytes scattered among bundles of collagen fibers within the matrix; located mainly in the midline of the body, pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs. ELASTIC CARTILAGE: chondrocytes located in a threadlike network of elastic fibers within the matrix; located in the external ear, larynx, epiglottis.
Q9. Does spongy bone tissue (cancellous tissue) contain osteons?
no
Q9. Each osteon is a tube-like cylinder that consists of a central canal with its concentrically arranged __________, __________, ____________, and __________.
lamellae, lacunae, osteocytes and canaliculi
Q9. Fiber producing cells are called what?
fibroblasts
Q9. Fractures are named according to what?
their severity, the shape or position of the fracture line, or even the physician who first described them. Some fractures are described by combining several terms.
Q9. How are joints classified?
structure (“what is it”, holding it together, what type of connective tissue) and function (the degree of movement permitted)
Q9. how is an osteon formed?
osteoblasts (the “bone-building” bone cell) secrete collagen and minerals in a ring surrounding the cell.
Q9. How is spongy bone different from compact bone?
spongy bone is light and compact bone is heavier, spongy bone has NO osteons, its lacunae and canaliculi are irregular, the rings of the matrix are oval shaped instead of round,and the osteocytes are located on the superficial surfaces of the trabeculae instead of deep within the osteons. (??)
Q9. Hyaline cartilage is only found in long bones until _____________.
puberty
Q9. Identify the parts of a long bone.
BONE REGIONS: diaphysis (shaft/body); epiphysis (ends); and metaphysis (in between the epiphysis and diaphysis); COVERINGS: periosteum (membrane around diaphysis); articular cartilage (hyaline covering over joint surfaces of epiphysis; CAVITY: medullary cavity (inside diaphysis); endosteum (membrane lining medullary cavity)
Q9. Is cartilage avascular or vasular?
avascular, no blood supply
Q9. Most of the bone tissue of the diaphysis (the shaft of the long bone) is composed of what type of bone?
compact bone
