Lecture 4 Flashcards
Bones are enclosed by ____
Periosteum
Two types of tissue different anatomy
-Compact (organized, has tubular units called osteons, contains blood vessels)
-Spongy (unorganized, very strong, lighter than compact)
5 Bone Functions
Support, Protection, Blood Production, Storage, Movement
Osteons
Tubular unit of compact bone
Osteocytes
Bone cells
Lacunae
Tiny chambers that house osteocytes
Central/Haversion Canals
Contain blood/lymph vessels + nerves, surrounded by lacunae, found in within an osteon,
Canaliculi
Tiny canals that provide nutrients from blood vessels in central canal to cells in lacunae
Lamellae
Concentric circles, composes Haversion canals
3 types of cartilage
Hyaline, Fibrocartilage, Elastic
Hyaline Cartilage qualities
Firm, flexible, uniform organization, glassy appearance, contains collagen fibers
Fibercartilage
Stronger than hyaline, withstands tension/pressure, has wide rows of thick collagen fibers
Elastic Cartilage
More flexible than hyaline, presence of mostly elastin fibers, found in ear flaps/epiglottis
Human bones first appear during ____ as __________
Embryonic development, hyaline cartilage
Hyaline cartilage is replaced by bone over time via process called ____
Endochondral Ossification
____ lay down spongy bone and compact bone over time
Osteoblasts
What are osteoclasts?
Large, multi-nucleated cells that break down spongy bone - makes medullary cavity
Bone is constantly broken down and built again as adults, ____ break down this bone, resulting in increased _____
Osteoclasts, calcium levels in blood
When new bone is formed, ____ use calcium from blood + these _____ can become ____
Osteoblasts (x2), osteocytes
What is the axial skeleton?
Midline of body (skull, thoracic cage, sacrum, coccyx)
What is the appendicular skeleton?
Limbs and girdles
What are processes?
Where muscles attach, nerves and blood vessels pass through
3 classifications of joints:
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
Fibrous joints quality
Immovable (sutures in skull)
Cartilaginous Joints
Connected via hyaline cartilage (discs in our spine)
Synovial Joints
Freely movable, held together by ligaments/tendons (femur/hips)
Part of skull that protects brain
Cranium
Foremen Magnum
Large opening at base of cranium where spinal cords passes and connects w brain stem
Mandible
Lower jaw, only moveable part of skull
Maxillae
Upper jaw and anterior portion of hard palate
Zygomatic bones
Cheekbones
Hyoid Bone is the only bone in body that….
Doesn’t articulate with another bone
Vertebral Column (from top to bottom)
7 cervical
12 Thoracic
5 Lumbar
5 Sacrum (fused vertebrae)
4 Coccyx (fused vertebrae)
What are intervertebral disks
Padding between vertebrae made of fibrocartilage
___ total pairs of ribs, upper ____ connect to ___ but all connect to _____
12, 7, sternum, thoracic vertebrae
Remaining pairs of ribs don’t connect to sternum, indirectly bound to sternum via____, last __ pairs don’t connect at all, called
Hyaline cartilage (“false ribs”)
2 pairs, “floating ribs”
