Connective Tissue Part III Flashcards
dense layer forms the outside of the bone
compact bone
spongelike meshwork consisting of trabeculae
spongy bone (cancellous bone)
The spaces within the meshwork are continuous and occupied by marrow and blood vessels.
spongy bone (cancellous bone)
longer in one dimension
e.g., humerus, femur
Long bones
nearly equal in length and diameter
Short bones
Have compact, spongy bone and a marrow space on the inside
Short bones
Articular surfaces are covered with hyaline cartilage
Short bones
Examples are carpals, tarsals, patella
Short bones
thin and platelike bones
Flat bones
Examples are parietal bone, scapula, sternum
Flat bones
Thick compact bone with an intervening layer of spongy bone
Flat bones
Examples are vertebrae, hip bones, ethmoid bone
Irregular bones
tendons
Sesamoid bones
Is an outer fibrous sheath of dense regular connective tissue covering of the bone except articular surface.
Periosteum
Two layers of Periosteum
outer fibrous layer
an inner cellular (osteogenic) layer
is well defined If active bone formation is in progress
inner cellular (osteogenic) layer of Periosteum
The relatively few ______ are capable of undergoing division and becoming osteoblasts under appropriate stimulus.
periosteal cells
Collagen fibers from ligaments and tendons extend directly into the bone tissue, where they are continuous with the collagen fibers of the extracellular matrix of the bone tissue.
Sharpey’s fibers
The marrow cavity and the spaces in spongy bone contain ____
bone marrow
