Exam 2 Flashcards
What are the 7 functions of the skeletal system?
- protects
- supports
- movement/locomotion
- mineral storage (Ca, P)
- produces blood
- energy storage (fat stored in yellow marrow)
- hormone production (osteocalcin)
What are the 4 classifications of bones?
- long bones
- short bones
- flat bones
- irregular bones
dense outer layer of bone
compact bone
inner layer of bone; trabecular; consists of lattice of trabeculae
spongy bone
What kind of cartilage is in long bones?
articular
a bone longer than it is wide
long bone
Which type of bone has a diaphysis (shaft)?
long bones
In long bones, what does the diaphysis (shaft) contain?
medullary cavity
The medullary cavity in the diaphysis of long bones contains ____ bone marrow in infants and young children and _____ bone marrow in adults
red; yellow
ends of long bone
epiphysis
Epiphyses of long bones contain outer ____ bone and interior ___ bone
compact; spongy
The interior spongy bone in the epiphyses of long bones contains red marrow for ________, which is mainly in the head of the ________ and _______ for adults.
hematopoiesis; humerus and femur
blood cell formation
hematopoeisis
remnant of epiphyseal plate; hyaline cartilage that divides and allows the bone to grow during childhood
epiphyseal line
contains an outer fibrous layer (dense irregular CT) and an inner osteogenic layer (contains osteogenic cells that differentiate into bone cells); rich supply of nerve fibers and blood vessels pass through shaft to medullary cavity via nutrient foramina; provides attachment points for tendons and ligaments
periosteum
dense irregular CT; lines medullary cavity, central canal, Volkmann’s canal; covers trabeculae of spongy bone; contains osteogenic cells that differentiate into bone cells
endosteum
type of bone:
- spongy bone covered by compact bone
- has periosteum and endosteum
- no diaphysis or epiphyses
- diploe-spongy bone (contains red marrow - little in adult)
- ex. skull bones, sternum, scapula, and ribs
flat bones
type of bone:
- articular cartilage
- diaphysis, epiphyses
- periosteum, endosteum
long bones
type of bone:
- spongy bone covered by compact bone
- has periosteum and endosteum
- no diaphysis or epiphyses
- ex. carpals and tarsals
- sesamoid bones
short bones
bones that form within a tendon (ex. patella)
sesamoid bones
type of bone:
- spongy bone covered by compact bone
- has periosteum and endosteum
- no diaphysis or epiphyses
- ex. vertebrae and coxal (hip) bone
irregular bones
fundamental unit of bone
osteon (haversian system)
bone matrix ring
lamella
space containing the osteocyte
lacuna
