Human Anatomy Test 2 Flashcards
What are the functions of the bone and skeletal system?
- Protection
- Hemopoiesis
- Fat Storage
Describe the function “hemopoiesis” as it pertains to the bone and skeletal system
Production of blood cells occur in the red bone marrow
Describe the function “fat storage” as it pertains to the bone and skeletal system
Adipose cells provide energy reserves for the body
A typical long bone is composed of what?
- Diaphysis
- Epiphyses
- Metaphyses
The diaphysis is where on the long bone?
Shaft
Epiphyses is where on a long bone?
Proximal and distal
Metaphyses is where on a long bone?
Between the diaphysis and epiphyses
Discuss the diaphysis
It’s strength is due to compact bone tissue and the longitudinal orientation of osteons
Epiphyses has what type of bone?
Has mostly spongy bone
Discuss the Metaphyses
Regions that include the epiphyseal plate; SITE OF GROWTH IN LENGTH IN YOUNG BOY
The matrix of bones contains what abundant mineral salts?
Hydroxyapatite and some calcium carbonate
What gives bone tissue its hardness?
Calcification—due to mineral salts such as CaCO3 and Ca3(PO4)2
What does collagen do for bone?
Gives bones flexibility and tensile strength
What is secreted during ossification?
Collagen
Mature bone cells are derived from?
Osteoblasts
Bone cell is also known as?
Osteocyte
Compact bone is part of ____ anatomy made of ____ _____.
Deep anatomy; concentric circles/rings
What are osteons?
The structural unit of compact bone
Where is spongy bone located?
- Bone interior
- Epiphysis of long bone
- Dipole of flat bones
- Sternum and Ribs
BEDS R Long and Flat
What is the process of bone formation called?
Ossification
When does ossification begin?
Sixth week of embryonic life and continues throughout adulthood
Describe endochondrial ossification
Cartilage is replaced by bone
Most of the bones of the body are formed by what process?
Endochondrial ossification
The cartilage model grows in ____ by _____ and ____
Length; mitosis; deposition of extracellular matrix
The cartilage model grows in length by mitosis and deposition of extracellular matrix. This process is called?
Interstitial growth
Growth of cartilage in thickness is due mainly to?
The addition of more extracellular matrix to the periphery
Normal bone growth, bone remodeling, and bone repair are dependent on the presence of?
- Minerals
- Vitamins
- Weight bearing exercise
- Hormones
What minerals is bone growth, remodeling and repair dependent on?
Ca, P, Mg, B, Mn
What vitamins is bone growth, remodeling, and repair dependent on?
A, B12, C, D
What hormones is bone growth, remodeling, and repair dependent on?
Parathyroid, human growth hormone, sex hormones, and thyroid hormones
What can make bones more brittle/susceptible to fracture? Why?
Decreased rate of protein synthesis—because it results in loss of tensile strength

Projection above or beside a condyle
What is a trochanter?
Projection for muscle attachment
What is a tuberosity
Large, rounded usually roughened projection
