Lecture 5: Osseous Tissue Flashcards
Osseous Tissue
Bone Tissue
Functions of the Skeletal System
Support, Storage of Minerals, Storage of Lipids, Blood Cell Production, Protection, Leverage
Support of the Skeletal System
Body weight,
Muscles
Storage of Minerals in Skeletal System
Calcium and Phosphate ions (also needed in blood),
Provide Strength
Storage of Lipids in Skeletal System
Store Energy, Yellow Marrow (fat tissue),
Blood Cell Production in Skeletal System
Red Marrow (replen the lost blood cells)
Protection in Skeletal System
Protects organs
Leverage in Skeletal System
Force of motion/allow for movement
How Are Bones Classified?
Shape,
Internal Tissue Organization,
Bone Markings
Long Bones
Upper/Lower Extremities,
Long and thin,
Arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, toes
Flat Bones
Thin with parallel surface,
Skull, sternum, ribs, scapulae
Sutural Bones
Small and irregular,
Bones in a suture,
Between flat bones of the skull
Irregular Bones
Complex Shapes,
Spinal Vertebrae,
Pelvic Bone,
Short Bones
Small and thick,
Ankle and wrist
Sesamoid Bones
Small and flat,
Inside tendons near joins of knees, hands, and feet
Bone Depression/Groove
Fossa,
Sulcus
Bone Projection/Processes
Connections to other bones
Bone Projections Where Tendons and Ligaments Attach:
Spine, Line, Crest, Tubercle, Tuberosity, Trochanter
Bone Projections Where Other Bone Articulations Occur:
Head, Condyle, Trochlea, Facet, Articular Process
Openings in Bones
Where blood vessels and nerves pass through the bone,
Foramen, Canal, Meatus, Fissure
Diaphysis of Long Bone
Shaft of bone,
Heavy wall of compact bone,
Central space (medullary cavity),
Epiphysis of Long Bone
Wide part at each end of bone,
Articulation with other bones,
Mostly spongy bone,
Covered with compact bone
Metaphysis of Long Bone
Where diaphysis and epiphysis meet
Epiphyseal Plates
Growth Plates,
Where active (growing) mitosis is occurring,
Typically in metaphysis (growth plates),
When plates close the person stops growing,
Able to determine age,
Close at different times depending on each bone
Structure of Flat Bone
2 Layers of compact bone covering spongy bone,
No marrow activity
Bone Matrix
Nonliving part of bone,
Made of Type 1 Collagen and Hydroxyapatite Crystals
