- Protection
- Mechanical basis for movement
- Storage
- Blood cell formation
What are the 5 different shapes of bones?
- Long
- Short
- Flat
- Irregular
- Sesamoid
____ bones are found in all extremities except the patella, carpels, and tarsals.
Long bones
____ bones are found in the carpals and tarsals.
Short bones
____ bones are found in the sternum, scapulae, ribs, and most of the skull
Flat bones
____ bones are found in the vertebrae and os coxae?
Irregular bones
____ bones are found in the hands, knee, and feet as a bone that forms in a tendon.
Sesamoid bones
What are the two gross observations of bone tissues?
- They can be compact (cortical) bone
2. They can be spongy (cancellous)(trabecular) bone
Under a microscope do the histological structures of compact or spongy bone differ?
NO
What is the formal name for the shaft of a long bone?
Diaphysis
The diaphysis has what kind of outer shell and inner core?
Outer - compact
Inner - medullary (red or yellow bone marrow)
As humans age what happens to the red bone marrow found in long bones?
It is converted over to yellow bone marrow
What is the formal name for the bones ends?
Epiphysis
The epiphysis has what type of shell and what type of core?
Outer - compact
Inner - spongy
What can be found between the spicules of the spongy bone at the epiphysis?
red or yellow bone marrow
What is the formal name of the flared portion of bone found between diaphysis and epiphysis?
Metaphysis
The metaphysis extends from what to what?
Extends from diaphysis to the epiphyseal line.
What is found between the metaphysis and the epiphysis?
The epiphyseal line (plate)
When will you find an epiphyseal plate
In individuals that are still growing
What happens to the epiphyseal plate as we get older?
It is filled with bone as we stop growing and becomes the epiphyseal line
What is the name of the external double membrane covering of bones?
Periosteum
The periosteum has two layers what are they and what do they contain?
- The outer fibrous layer has dense irregular connective tissue.
- The inner osteogenic layer consisting of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteogenic cells.
How does the periosteum anchor to the underlying bone?
Through collagen fibers termed perforating (Sharpey’s) fibers.
