What are the four basic tissues of the human body?
Epithelial, muscle, neural, connective tissues
What is the function of each type of bone cell?
Osteoblast- form bone
Osteocyte- maintain or nurture bone
Osteoblast- remodel bone
What are the bone cells embedded in?
An amorphous matrix consisting of ground substance, protein fibers and various minerals
What is the primary constituent of the ground substance?
Glycosaminoglycans
What is the principle type of protein fiber in bone?
Collagen type 1
What is the most frequently described deposit in bone?
Hydroxyapatite
What is Wolffs Law as it pertains to bone?
Living tissue will respond to stressors, Bone is formed or absorbed in response to stressors
What three responses of “living” bone were stressed in class?
The ability to heal
To remodel under stressors
To age
Bone is embryology all derivative of which specific connective tissues?
Mesenchyme and or cartilage
What is the name given to the pattern of ossification in mesenchyme?
Intramembranous ossification
What is the timing of the appearance of intramembranous ossification?
From the second to third month in utero
What part of the axial skeleton is primarily formed by intramembranous ossification?
Skull
Which bone of the appendicular skeleton is partially formed by intramembranous ossification?
Clavicle
What is the name given to the pattern of ossification in cartilage?
Endochondral ossification
What is the timing for the appearance of ossification in cartilage?
From the second to fifth month in utero
What part of the skull is derived from Endochondral ossification?
Chondrocranium
What are the names given to the centers of ossification based on time of appearance?
Primary centers of ossification appear BEFORE birth
Secondary centers of ossification appear AFTER birth
What are the primary sources of variation observed in bone?
Sexual dimorphism (gender variation), ontogenetic variation ( growth or age variation), geographic or population based variation (ethnicity), and idiosyncratic variation (individual variation).
What are the six more commonly classifications of normal bone?
Long bones Short bones Flat bones Irregular bones Paranasal sinus Sesamoid
What are the classifications given to abnormal bone stressed in Spinal anatomy?
Heterotrophic and accessory bone
What is the name give to bone formed in a non bone location?
Heterotopic bone
What is the name given to bone formed from existing bone?
Accessory bone
What is the primary characteristic of short bones?
They are essentially cuboidal
What are examples of short bones?
Most of the bones of the carpus and tarsus
What are examples of flat bones?
The parietal bone and sternum
What is characteristic of irregular bone?
Numerous projections or irregular outlines
What is characteristic of pneumatic bone

What bones constrain paranasal sinuses
Frontal ethmoid, maxilla and sphenoid
What is the characteristic of Sesamoid bone
The bone develops within a tendon
What are consistent examples of Sesamoid bones
Patella and pisiform
What are examples of heterotrophic bone
Calcific deposits in the pineal gland, heart and ligaments
What are examples of accessory bone
Para articular processes and bony Spurs of vertebrae

A deep depression of variable circumference on the surface of bone
What are the names given to openings on the surface of bone
Ostium or orifice and hiatus
What is the definition of an osseous hiatus
An irregular opening on the surface of bone
