Exam 2 Materials Flashcards
How many bones in adult?
206 (Axial 80, Appendicular 126)
Fibrocartilage
- Lots of collagen fibers
- Very strong/resilient
- Compressed all the time & can bounce back
- 80% water
- Located: Intervertebral discs
Elastic cartilage
- Large chondrocytes
- Located: External ear
Functions of Bones
- Support
- Storage (minerals, fat in yellow bone marrow)
- Protection
- Movement
- Hemopoiesis (blood cells made in bone barrow)
Endosteum
-Covers internal surface of bones
Endochondral ossification
- Begins with hyaline cartilage
- Produces majority of bone in body
- Cartilage dies in diaphysis, periosteum forms
- Primary ossification of diaphysis
- Second ossification of epiphyses
- Medullary cavity forms
- Bone replaces cartilage (except hyaline cartilage @ ends and epiphyseal plates)
What are the 4 types of paranasal sinuses / nasal cavities?
- Frontal
- Ethmoid
- Sphenoid
- Maxillary
How many cranial?
8
Articular Cartilages
Thin layer of hyaline cartilage on epiphyses –> reduce friction between bones
What is fibrous (structural) joint? Subdivisions?
- Bones held by collagen fibers, no joint cavity
- Gomphoses
- Suture
- Syndesmoses
How does bone fracture heal?
- Hematoma (blood clot) occurs
- Fibrocartilaginous (soft) callus forms
- Bone (hard) callus replaces soft callus
- Bone remodeled
- Osteoblasts and osteoclasts involved
Synarthroses joint
- Immobile joints (most stable)
Hyaline Cartilage
- Most common
- “Glassy” - can’t see fibers, matrix is clear
- Located: Articular ends of long bones
Haversian (Central) Canal
Carries blood vessels and nerves
Amphiarthroses
-Slightly mobile joints
How is bone remodeled?
- Zone 1: Resting cartilage next to epiphyses
- Zone 2: Proliferating cartilage (making more cartilage)
- Zone 3: Hypertrophic cartilage (cartilage too big)
- Zone 4: Cartilage cells calcified (dying)
- Zone 5: Osteoblasts formed, bone remodeled by calcium
Bursa
Sacs outside most synovial joints where ligaments, muscles, tendons, bones rub
Canaliculi
Between lacunaes, allowing metabolic interactions between osteocytes
Haversian System (Osteon)
- Basic structure/functional unit of mature compact bone
- Cylindrical
- Parallel to shaft of bone
What is cartilaginous joint? Subdivisions?
Bones held by cartilage, no joint cavity.
- Synchondroses
- Symphyses
Perforating Fibers
Collagen fibers that go straight into bone
How many bones in “arm”
- 30 total
Periosteum
- Covering of bone (but not articular cartilage)
- Anchor for blood vessels/nerves
- Anchored by perforating fibers
Perichondrium
Connective tissue membrane surround outside cartilage
Perforating (Volkman’s) Canals
Perpendicular connections to central canals w/blood vessels & nerves
