Exam 2 study Guide Flashcards
Form the framework that supports the body and cradles soft organs.
Support a main function of bone.
Provide a protective case for the brain, spinal cord and vital organs.
Protection a main function of bone.
Provides levers for muscles.
Movement a main function of bone.
Reservoir for minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus.
Storage a main function of bone.
Hematopoiesis occurs within the marrow cavities of bones.
Blood Cell Production a main function of bone.
Function is to develop into osteoblasts. Found in the deep layers of the periosteum and the marrow.
Osteogenic Cells
Main function involves bone formation. Found in the growing portions of bone, including periosteum and endosteum.
Osteoblasts
Function is for bone resorption. Found on bone surfaces and at sites of old, injured, or unneeded bone.q
Osteoclasts
Function is to maintain mineral concentration of matrix. Found entrapped in the matrix of the bone.
Osteocytes
Open pockets where osteocytes reside.
Lacunae
Concentric rings of calcified matrix.
Lamellae
Contains blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels.
Central/Haversian Canal
Small channels that connect connecting lacunae allowing nutrients and wastes to move.
Canaliculi
The tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. Filled with yellow marrow, compact bone shell.
Diaphysis
The wider section at the ends of the bone. Spongy bone covered by compact bone. Enlarged to strengthen joint and attach ligaments.
Epiphysis
Acts like a shock absorber and reduces friction.
Articular Cartilage
The outer layer of collagen.
Periosteum
Delicate membranous lining of a bone’s medullary cavity.
Endosteum
Hollow region of the diaphysis; filled with yellow marrow.
Medullary Canal
Plates of bones sandwiched between connective tissue membranes. Contains no shaft or epiphyses. Bone marrow throughout spongy bone; no marrow cavity. Hyaline cartilage covers articular surfaces.
Structure of the flat bone
It appears poorly organized and resists massive forces, yet it is lightweight
Spongy Bone
Aligns along lines of stress to help resist it. Contains no osteons. Contain irregularly arranged lamellae and osteocytes interconnected by canaliculi. Capillaries in endosteum supply nutrients.
Trabeculae
Bone formation between the flats bone of the skull.
Intramembranous Ossification
Bone formation that from an existing area of hyaline cartilage in long and short bones. Such as the growth plate of the bone.
Endochondral Ossification
Triggers chondrocyte proliferation in epiphyseal plates, resulting in the increasing length of bones. Increases calcium retention, which enhances mineralization, and stimulates osteoblastic activity, which improves bone density.
Growth Hormones
Promotes osteoblastic activity and the synthesis of bone matrix.
Thyroid Hormone- Thyroxine
A negative feedback loop.
Receptor- The parathyroid gland detects low calcium
Integrator: parathyroid hormone is secreted into the blood stream
Effector: Osteoclast cells break down the bone by releasing minerals into blood.
Parathyroid Hormone Feed back loop
Negative Feed-back loop.
Receptor: Thyroid gland calcium levels are too high.
Integrator: Thyroid gland produces calcitonin that stimulates osteoblasts.
Effector: Osteoblast cells absorb calcium from the blood and deposit it into the bone.
Calcitonin Feed back loop
Is needed to make calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate, which form the hydroxyapatite crystals that give bone its hardness.
Calcium
Is needed for the absorption of calcium. No vitamin D, no calcium absorption.
Vitamin D
Occurs straight across the long axis of the bone.
Transverse Fracture
Occurs at an angle that is not 90 degrees.
Oblique Fracture
