HPP LEC CHAP 6 Flashcards
Bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments of the
skeletal system are
connective tissues
a tough, ropelike protein
Collagen
e large molecules consisting of
many polysaccharides attaching to and encircling
core proteins
Proteoglycans
The matrix always contains collagen, ground
substance, and other organic molecules, as well
as water and minerals
none
form large aggregates and
attract water
proteoglycans
The extracellular matrix of tendons and ligaments
contains large amounts of collagen fibers, making
these structures very tough, like ropes or cables
none
extracellular matrix of cartilage contains
collagen and proteoglycans
makes cartilage tough
Collagen
make it smooth and
resilient
water-filled proteoglycans
is relatively rigid, but it
springs back to its original shape after being
bent or slightly compressed
cartilage
extracellular matrix of bone contains collagen
and minerals, including calcium and phosphate
none
lend flexible strength
to the bone
ropelike collagen fibers
gives bone compression
(weight-bearing) strength.
mineral
form of
calcium phosphate crystals
hydroxyapatite
four bone shapes
long, short, flat, irregular
are longer than they are wide
long bones
are approximately as wide as they
are long
short bones
have a relatively thin, flattened shape
flat bones
shapes that do not fit readily
into the other three categories
irregular bones
compact bone
tissue
shaft
ends spongy bone tissue
Epiphysis
covers epiphyses
reduces friction
Articular cartilage
site of growth
between
diaphysis and
epiphysis
Epiphyseal plate
center of
diaphysis red or
yellow marrow
Medullary cavity
membrane around
bone’s outer
surface
Periosteum
membrane that
lines medullary
cavity
Endosteum
is the location of blood forming
cells
red marrow
mostly fat
yellow marrow
structural unit of
compact bone
includes lamella,
lacunae, canaliculus,
central canal, osteocytes
Osteon
rings of bone matrix
Lamella
spaces between lamella
Lacunae
tiny canals
transport nutrients
and remove
waste
Canaliculus
center of osteon
contains blood vessels
Central canal:
It is located at the epiphyses of long bones
and center of other bones
Spongy bone
are interconnecting
rods, and spaces that contain marrow
trabeculae
responsible for the formation of
bone and the repair and remodeling of bone
Osteoblasts
cells that maintain bone matrix and
form from osteoblast after bone matrix has
surrounded it
Osteocytes
contribute to bone repair and
remodeling by removing existing bone, called
bone reabsorption
Osteoclasts
Bone formation that occurs within connective
tissue membranes
intramembranous
ossification
Bone formation that occurs inside hyaline
cartilage
endochondral ossification
the formation of bone by osteoblasts.
Ossification
occurs by the deposition of new
bone lamellae onto existing bone or other
connective tissue
Bone growth
As osteoblasts deposit new bone matrix on the
surface of bones between the periosteum and
the existing bone matrix, the bone increases in
width, or diameter
appositional growth
Broken bone causes
bleeding and a blood clot
forms
forms which is a fibrous network
between 2 fragments
Callus
hole
foramen
depression
fossa
projection
process
smooth, rounded end
condyle
canal-like passageway
meatus
lump of bone
tubercle
composed of the skull, the
vertebral column, and the thoracic cage
axial skeleton
forms a freely movable
joint with the rest of the skull
mandible
Anterior part of cranium
Frontal bone
Sides and roof of cranium
Parietal bones
Posterior portion and floor of cranium
Occipital bones
inferior to parietal bones on each side of the cranium
Temporomandibular joint
Temporal bones
Forms part of cranium floor, lateral posterior
portions of eye orbits, lateral portions of cranium
anterior to temporal bones
Sella turcica
Sphenoid bone
Anterior portion of cranium, including medial
surface of eye orbit and roof of nasal cavity
Nasal conchae
Ethmoid bone
Form upper jaw, anterior portion of hard palate,
part of lateral walls of nasal cavity, floors of eye
orbits
Maxillary sinus
Maxillae
Form posterior portion of hard palate, lateral wall of
nasal cavity
Palatine bones
Cheek bones
Also form floor and lateral wall of each eye orbit
Zygomatic bones
Medial surfaces of eye orbits
Lacrimal bones
Form bridge of nose
Nasal bones
In midline of nasal cavity
Forms nasal septum with the ethmoid bone
Vomer
Attached to lateral walls of nasal cavity
Inferior nasal conchae
Lower jawbone
Only movable skull bone
Mandible
open into the nasal
cavity

unpaired, U-shaped bone
that is not part of the skull and has no direct bony
attachment to the skull or any other bones

skeleton, extending from the base of the skull to slightly
past the end of the pelvis

Articulations
Joints can be classified structurally as
fibrous,
cartilaginous, or synovial
- united by fibrous connective tissue
- subclasses are sutures, syndesmosis, and gomphoses
Fibrous joint
- united by means of cartilage
- subclasses are synchondroses and symphysis
Cartilaginous
- joined by a fluid cavity
- Most joints of the appendicular skeleton
Synovial
non-movable joint
Synarthrosis
slightly movable joint
Amphiarthrosis
freely movable joint
Diarthrosis
bending
Flexion
straightening
Extension
movement away from midline
Abduction
movement toward the midline
Adduction
rotation of the forearm with palms down
Pronation
rotation of the forearm with palms up
Supination
movement of a structure about the long axis
Rotation

and Joints
- Decreased Collagen Production
- Loss of Bone Density
- Degenerative Changes
