Kines Chapter 3 Flashcards
Makes up the hard, dense outer layer of all bones, which is the most opaque upon x-ray
Compact bone
Is the less dense latticework of trabeculae of the inter portion of the bone, primarily at the ends of long bones
Cancellous Bones
This law states that bone density increases for areas on which increased forces are imposed and decreases for areas on which forces are decreased
Wolff’s Law
A thin fibrous membrane covering the entire surface of a bone except the articular joint surfaces
Periosteum
The region at each end of a bone, providing the articular surfaces of joints
Epiphysis
Cartilaginous material in growing bone
epiphyseal plate
The region of Long bone that serves as a transition from the Epiphysis and diaphysis
metaphysis
The hollow center which, among other features, decreases the weight of the bone
Medullary Canal
Type of bone cell primarily responsible for bone reapportion a process by which old bone is broken down so it can be replaced with new bone
Osteoclast
The main shaft of a bone, composed of an outer layer of compact bone, which gives bone strength
Diaphysis
Membrane lining, the medullary canal containing osteoclast
Endosteum
Named because their link is greater than their width or named these type of bones
long Bones
Typically have more equal dimensions of height, length, and width, giving them a cubed, like shape
Short Bones
Have a broad surface, are not very thick, and tend to have a curved, rather than a flat, surface
Flat bones
These type of bones have a variety of shapes their unique shapes allow them to fulfill particular functions
Irregular bones
