Exam 3 Flashcards
Bone connective tissue composed of…
Collagen fibers and hydroxyapatite ground substance
Gives bone tissue its strength under tensile forces
Collagen
Hydroxyapatite is made of…
Inorganic mineral substance containing calcium
Gives bone tissue its strength under compressive forces
Hydroxyapatite
(Entire) bone is composed of…
Bone/connective tissue and nervous/epithelial elements
Fiction of skeletal system
Structure/support/protection
Locomotion/movement
Blood cell formation
Stores inorganic minerals, especially calcium
Indicator of height, age, sex, weight, geographic ancestry, (some) medical history
Components of skeletal system
Bones and joints
(Macro bone structure) shaft/primary center of ossification
Diaphysis
(Macro bone structure) associated with articulation/secondary ossification center
Epiphysis - usually on either side of diaphysis
Epiphyseal plate is made of…
Hyaline Cartilage
Disk connecting diaphysis and epiphysis
Epiphyseal Plate
Membranes covering outer and inner bone surfaces.
Periosteum (outer)
Endosteum (inner)
Cavity at center of long bone.
Medullary cavity
Covers bone where it articulates with other bones
Articular cartilage (composed of hyaline cartilage)
(bone tissues) between compact bone and endosteum, large gaps between struts, will crumble under pressure
Spongy
(bone tissues) between periosteum and spongy bone, composed of osteons
Compact
(part of compact bone) concentric layers of bony connective tissue
Lamellae
(part of compact bone) contains blood vessels and nerves, and is inside lamellae
Central canal
Holes found between lamellae
Lacunae
Passageways connecting lacunae to each other and the central canal
Canaliculi
Connects central canals to each other
Perforating canals
Bone broken but skin is not broken
Simple Fracture
Bone break through skin
Compound fracture
Bone is fragmented
Comminuted
Comminuted fractures must be repaired quickly because…
Fragmented pieces lose blood supply and bone tissue will die if not repaired quickly.
Not fractured all the way through the bone
Incomplete fracture
Incomplete fracture + bending of bone.
More common in _______
Greenstick Fracture
Children
Tendon or ligament pulls bone away at site of attachment.
Avulsion
Healing of fracture process (4 stages)
Hematoma –> soft callus –> hard callus –> remodeling of hard callus to mature bone.
Reduction of bone density due to deossification, most prevalent in middle-aged and elderly women
Osteoporosis.
Cause of sexual dimorphism with osteoporosis
Women have less bone mass and lose bone mass sooner than men (around 35/not result of menopause)
Men start losing bone mass around __ years old.
The exception?
60 years old
Men being treated for prostate cancer - due to the steroids.
The study of joints.
Arthrology
Immovable joint/Example
Synarthrosis/Skull Sutures
Moderately/slightly movable joint
Amphiarthrosis
Freely movable joint
Diarthrosis
