Exam 2 Flashcards
Synarthrosis
Does not allow any movement between articulating bones
Amphiarthrosis
Allows small amount of movement between bones
Diarthrosis
Freely moveable through articulating bones
If inorganic matrix is destroyed, bone will become
Flexible & unable to resist compression
The function of yellow bone marrow is
Triglyceride storage
Osteon
Structural units of mature, compact bone
Primary ossification centers develop
In diaphysis
Ossification
Bone formation
Infants bone marrow is
Mostly red bone marrow
What allows oxygen, nutrients, & small substances to and from osteocytes trapped within lacunae
Caniculi
Endochondrial Ossification steps
- Perichondrium is invaded by blood vessels
- Osteoblasts build bone collar on external surface of bone
- Chondrocytes die
- In primary ossification center, osteoblasts replace calcified cartilage with early spongy bone
Bone is an important storage reservoir for
Calcium, phosphate, & lipids
Osteoblast
Bone decomposition
Bones perform
Fat storage, blood cell formation, & protection
What is not formed by the intramembranous ossification
Femur
