Human Anatomy Quiz 2 Study Deck Flashcards
What are the two parts of the long bone?
Diaphysis and epiphysis
What 5 parts make up the long bone?
Medullary cavity, compact bone, epiphyseal plate, endosteum, and the periosteum
What is the medullary cavity?
A hollow region in the diaphysis and is filled with yellow marrow
What is compact bone
The walls of diaphysis and is dense and hard
What is the epiphyseal plate
A layer of hyaline (transparent) cartilage in a growing bone and becomes an epiphyseal line when a person stops growing
What is endosteum
The lining of the medullary cavity and where bone growth, repair, and remodelling occur
What is periosteum
The covering of the outer surface of bone and contains blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels/ attachment of tendons and ligaments
What is the difference between the epiphyseal line and the epiphyseal plate
The epiphyseal plate is a layer of hyaline cartilage in a growing bone. The epiphyseal line is when the epiphyseal plate is replaced/ closed when a person stops growing
What is an osteon
They are cylindrical vascular tunnels by an osteoclast-rich tissue (Haversian system)
What is the difference between yellow marrow and red marrow
Red marrow contains stem cells that turn into RBC, WBC, and platelets. Yellow marrow is mostly made of fat
What are the 5 types of bones by shape
Long bones, Short bones, Flat bones, Irregular bones, Sesamoid bones
What are the characteristics of long bones
-cylindrical in shape
-longer than it is wide
-shaft and two ends
-found in arms, legs, finger and toes
What kind of bone is this
Long bone
What kind of bone is this
Short bone
What kind of bone is this
Flat bone
What are the characteristics of a short bone
-cube like in shape
-approximately equal in length, width and thickness
-found in carpals of wrists and tarsals of ankles
What are the characteristics of flat bones
-typically thin
-often curved
-found in skull, scapulae, sternum, ribs
What kind of bone is this
Irregular bone
What are the characteristics of irregular bones
-does not have any easily characterized shape
-complex shapes
-found in vertebrae and facial bones
What kind of bone is this
Sesamoid bone
What are the characteristics of a sesamoid bone
-small, round bone
-shaped like a sesame seed
-form in tendons
-found in tendons associated with the feet, hands, and knees
What kind of fracture is this and how do you know
Transverse : occurs straight across the long axis of the bone
What kind of fracture is this and how do you know
Oblique: occurs at an angle that is not 90 degrees
What kind of fracture is this and how do you know
Spiral: bone segments are pulled apart as a result of a twisting motion
What kind of fracture is this and how do you know
Comminuted: several breaks result in many small pieces between two large segments
What kind of fracture is this and how do you know
Compacted: one fragment is driven into the other,usually as a result of compression
What kind of fracture is this and how do you know
Greenstick: a partial fracture in which only one side of the bone is broken
What kind of fracture is this and how do you know
Open/ compound: a fracture in which at least one end of the broken bone tears through the skin, Carries high risk of infection
What kind of fracture is this and how do you know
Closed/simple: a fracture in which the skin remains intact
What are the 4 types of bone cells
-osteocyte
-osteoblast
-osteogenic cell
-osteoclast
What is the function of this bone cell and what is its function
Osteocyte; Maintains bone tissue
What is the function of this bone cell and what is its function
Osteoblast; forms bone matrix
What is the function of this bone cell and what is its function
Osteogenic cell; stem cell
What is the function of this bone cell and what is its function
Osteoclast; resorbs bone
What are the 5 regions of the vertebrae
-cervical
-thoracic
-lumbar
-sacral
-coccyeal
What section is the cervical region of the vertebral column and what is the function?
C1-C7
Atlas (C1): supports the skull, no body
Axis (C2): for head rotation and dens (odontoid process)
What section is the Thoracic region of the vertebral column and what is the function?
T1-T12
-Where ribs are attached
-articulation with head or rib and tubercle of rib
What section is the lumbar region of the vertebral column and what is the function?
L1-L5
-Carries greatest amount of body weight
What are sutures
They are immobile joints between adjacent bones
What are the 5 sutures
-coronal
-sagittal
-lamboid
-squamous
-pterion
What suture connects the parietal and frontal bone
coronal
What suture connects the two parietal bones
sagittal
what suture connects the two parietal bones to the occipital bone
lamboid
What suture connects the parietal bones to the temporal bones
squamous
What suture connects the sphenoid, frontal, parietal, and squamous temporal bones
pterion
