Lecture 3 Flashcards
Three fxns of bone markings
1-Sites of attafchment for muscles, tendons and ligaments
2-Joint surfaces
3- Consduits for blood vessels and nerves

Narrow, slit-like opening
Fissure
Outer layer of bone
Compact
Honeycomb of TRABECULAE filled with red marrow
Spongy, Cancellous
Tubular shaft of long bones containing yellow bone marrow
Diaphysis
Expanded ends of long bones, partly covered in hyaline cartilage
Epiphyses
Line that separates diaphysis from the Epiphyses
Epiphyseal line
Where the diaphysis merges with the epiphysis
metaphysis
Innervated vascularized sheath around bones
Periosteum, held on by perforating (Sharpey’s) fibers
delicate membrane covering internal survace of bone
endosteum
a subclass of trabeculae in the skull bones
Diploë
the structural unit of compact bone
osteon
weight-bearing column-like matrix tubes composed mainly of collagen
Lamella
central channel in lamella containing vessels and nerves
Haversian, or Central
Laterally running channels connecting periosteum and Haversian canal
Volkmann’s canals
mature bone cells
Osteocytes
small cavities in bone that contain osteocytes
lacunae
hairlike canals that connect lacunae to each other and the central canal in lamellae
canaliculi
