Cumulative Exam Part 3 Flashcards
What are the 6 functions of bones?
Support framework, store and release minerals, storage of energy, hematopoiesis, external protective covering, assistance in movement
What makes up the dense matrix?
1/4 water, 1/4 collagen fibers, 1/2 hydroxyapatite crystals
Part of the matrix that bends slightly, will not tear when pulled, provides skeleton with flexibility
Collagen fibers
Part of the matrix that resists applied pressure without breaking, provides hardness of skeleton
Hydroxyapatite crystals
Shaft of bone
Diaphysis
Central space in bone
Medullary cavity
Ends of bones
Epiphysis
Separates diaphysis from epiphysis, grows in length and made of hyaline cartilage
Epiphyseal plate
Small area between diaphysis and epiphysis
Metaphysis
Cover ends of epiphyses; made of hyaline cartilage
Articular cartilage
Fibrous outer layer; osteogenic inner layer; does not cover articular cartilage
Periosteum
Contains yellow bone marrow
Medullary cavity
Bone marrow in developing bones of fetus and newborn, around spongy bone in adults
Red bone marrow
What is the function of red bone marrow?
Hematopoiesis
Bone marrow in medullary cavities in adults
Yellow bone marrow
What is the function of yellow bone marrow?
Lipid storage
Stem cells that divide to produce osteoblasts
Osteogenic cells
Where are osteogenic cells located?
Inner layer of endosteum and periosteum
Immature bone cells that secrete bone matrix
Osteoblasts
Mature cells that maintain matrix and repair damaged bone
Osteocytes
Breaks down bone matrix
Osteoclasts
What is compact bone made up of?
