Exam #2 Flashcards
What are the types of bone?
- compact bone
- spongy (cancellous) bone
- long
- short
- irregular
What type of bone is trabecular?
Cancellous (spongy) bone
What does long bone consist of?
*Epiphysis (proximal and distal)
* Diaphysis
*Articular cartilage
*Spongy bone
*Medullary cavity
*
on the proximal and distal ends of long bone
epiphysis
Articular cartilage equals
hyaline cartilage
remains of the epiphyseal plate
Epiphyseal line
the shaft of long bone
diaphysis
Spongy bone:
red bone marrow (site of blood formation)
The diaphysis of the long bone includes:
- Medullary cavity- (yellow marrow, blood vessels, fat, nerves)
- Endosteum- (membrane lines marrow cavity)
- Periosteum- (membrane that covers diaphysis, contains osteoblasts, and build/repair bone)
bone cells trapped in lacunae
Osteocytes
small channels and passageways in the bone that allow gases, nutrients, and removal of wastes to and from osteocytes.
Canaliculi
a canal that runs vertically (up/down) through the core containing small blood vessels, nerve fibers, as well as lymphatic vessels
Central (Haversion) Canal
What are central canals lined with?
Endosteum
a canal that runs horizontally (side/side) and connects the blood, lymphatic, and nerve supply of the periosteum to those in the central canals.
Perforating (Volkmann’s) canal
- the external surface of the entire bone
- fibrous layer
- osteogenic layer
Periosteum
Fibrous layer:
- outer layer
* dense connective tissue
Osteogenic layer:
- inner layer
* consists of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) and bone-destroying cells (osteoclasts)
Long bones:
- a bone that has a shaft and two ends
* all limb bones except the ankle, wrist, and kneecap
Short bones:
- bones that are cubed shape
* wrist and ankle bones
Flat bones:
- bones that are thin, flattened, and usually curved
* sternum, scapular, ribs, most skull bones
Irregular bones:
- bones that are shaped funny
* vertebrae and hip bones
Sesamoid bone:
- a special type of short bone that is formed into a tendon
* patella (kneecap)
the functional unit of compact bone
osteon
formation of bone (replacement of connective tissue by bone)
Bone Ossification
Intramembranous:
- bone forms from simple connective tissue
* Ex. skull, clavicle, lower jar
Endochondrial (most prevalent):
- bones form from cartilage
- most bone
allows growth in bone length to continue
chondrocytes divide
Epiphyseal plate
Epiphyseal growth:
- new bone added
- new bone is spongy bone
- marrow cavity established
Transformation zone:
- old cells enlarge and die
* calcium deposited in the matrix
Osteogenic zone:
*bone replaces cartilage
ongoing replacement of old bone tissue with new bone (osteoblasts/osteoclasts)
Remodeling
a type of dense connective tissue
cartilage
what is cartilage covered by
perichondrium (dense irregular fibrous membrane)
Interstitial growth:
chondroblasts in immature cartilage divide and form small groups of cells which produce the matrix to become separated from each other by a thin partition of the matrix
Calcium:
- Element critical to many body functions
- nerve transmission
- blood clotting
- muscle contraction
- many enzymes are used as cofactors
What are the most important calcium hormones?
- parathormone
- calcitriol
- calcitonin
Parathormone:
- produced by parathyroids
- raise blood calcium levels
- increase osteoclast activity, decrease the loss of calcium and urine, production of calcitriol
Calcitriol:
- produced in the kidneys
- activate vitamin D
- raise blood calcium levels
- decrease the loss of calcium in the urine and increase absorption in the digestive tract
Calcitonin:
- produced in the thyroid gland
- lowers blood calcium levels
- inhibits osteoclasts
Hormones that stimulate muscle growth:
- Calcitriol
- Growth hormone
- Thyroxin
- Estrogens
- Testosterone
- Insulin
What type of cartilage is found in the trachea?
hyaline cartilage
Joints:
Site of contact between:
- two bones
- bone and cartilage
- bone and gums
joints that have no movement
Synarthroses
joints that are slightly moveable
Amphiarthroses
joints that are freely moveable
Diarthroses
Cartilagenous Joints:
- no cavity
- cartilage
- little to no movement
Cartilagenous Joint Types:
- symphyses
- synchondroses
Fibrous Joints:
- no cavity
- fibrous connective tissue
- little to no movement
Fibrous Joint Types:
- sutures
- gomphoses
- syndesmoses
Synovial Joints:
- cavity
- ligaments
- permit movement
Synovial Joint Types:
- plane
- hinge
- pivot
- condyloid
- saddle
- ball of socket
- knee
Sutures:
- skull
- joint of thin fibrous connective
- saw tooth articulation
- no movement (synarthroses)
Gomphoses:
- teeth in jaw
- peg roots of tooth
- socket: boney cavity
- periodontal ligaments: join tooth to socket
- no movement
Syndesmoses:
- tibiofibular joint
- extra fibrous tissue
- some movement (amphiarthritic)
Symphyses:
- vertebrae
- pubic bones
- joint is a broad flat disc of fibrocartilage
- stabilized by ligaments
- amiphiarthrotic)
Synchondroses:
- epiphyseal plate
- first rib
- joint:hyaline cartilage
- no movement
