Q

Hyaline Cartilage

A

looks like frosted glass. Provides support, flexibility and resilience. Makes up the articular cartilage that covers the end of adjoining bones in movable joints. Also forms attachment from ribs to sternum, most cartilage in respiratory structures, and forms embryonic skeleton.

Q

Irregular bones

A

various shapes that dont fit in any categories. ie vertebrae and hip bones.

23
Q

Diaphysis

A

Shaft of long bone.

24
Q

Epiphses

A

bone ends.

25
Q

Epiphyseal line

A

Remnant of the epiphyseal plate-a disc of hyaline cartilage that grows during childhood to lengthen the bone.

26
Q

Osteon/Haversian System

A

A structural component of compact bone. Long cylindrical structures, parallel to the long axis of the bone. Weight bearing pillars.Contains a group of concentric tubes resembling the rings of a tree trunk.

27
Q

Lamella

A

Tubes inside of tubes inside of osteon. Fibers of adjacent lamellae run in opposite directions-optimal for withstanding torsion, twisting, or stresses. Inhibit crack propagation-dispersing forces around lamellar boundaries to prevent crack progression and bone fracture.

28
Q

Central/Haversian Canal

A

At the core of each osteon, lined with endosteum. Contains its own blood vessels which supply nutrients to bone cells.

29
Q

Perforating/Volkmann’s Canal

A

Lie at right angles to central canals and connect blood/nerve supply to periosteum and marrow cavity.

30
Q

Osteocytes

A

Mature bone cells. Spider-shaped. Bodies occupy lacunae and legs occupy canaliculi inside of osteon. Maintains the bone matrix

31
Q

Lacunae

A

cavities in the solid bone matrix of osteon, lamellae.

32
Q

Canaliculi

A

Run through bone matrix to connect with neighboring lacunae.

33
Q

Osteoblasts

A

cells responsible for bone deposition and the precursor to osteocytes

34
Q

Osteoclasts

A

cells responsible for bone resorption

35
Q
  1. Bone collar formation

Stages of Endochondral Ossicfication

A

Bone begins as a cartilage model. At week 8 perichondrium surrounding diaphysis is invaded by blood vessels and becomes periosteum. Osteoblasts lay down collar of bone tissue around diaphysis.

36
Q
  1. Cartilage Calcifies in the center of the diaphysis

Stages of Endochondral Ossicfication

A

central area of diaphysis calcifies and disintegrates leaving a cavity in the the diaphysis.

37
Q
  1. Periostal bud invades the diaphysis and first bone trabeculae form
    Stages of Endochondral Ossicfication
A

Bud invades diaphysis cavities and destroys remaining cartilage while secreting bone-forming osteoid. Earliest version of spongy bone is formed.

38
Q
  1. Secondary ossification centers form in epiphyses

Stages of Endochondral Ossicfication

A

Cartilage calcifies, degenerates, and is filled with osteoids to begin forming bone.

39
Q

Elongation of bone

A

Relies on cell division and growth at the epiphyseal plates of each long bone.

40
Q

Appositional Growth

A

Causes bones to widen as the osteoblasts in the periosteum add bone tissue to the external face of the diaphysis.

41
Q

Organization of Cartilage within epiphyseal plate from bottom to top

A

ossification, calcification(dead cartilage cells), hypertrophic(old cells enlarge), proliferation, cells undergo mitosis

42
Q

Intramembranous Ossification

A

the way flat bones originate in the embryo.

  • ossification center appears in fibrous connective tissue
  • fibrous membrane ossifies
  • periosteum and woven bone formation
  • compact bone plate formation
43
Q

Comminuted

Types of fractures

A

Bone fragments into three or more pieces. Common in the aged, whose bones are more brittle.

44
Q

Compression

Types of fractures

A

Bone is crushed. Common in porous bones-often times after a fall.

45
Q

Spiral

Types of fractures

A

Ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone. Common in sports fractures.

46
Q

Epiphyseal

Types of fractures

A

Epiphysis separates from diphysis along the epiphyseal plate. Tends to occur where cartilage cells are dying and calcification of matrix is occurring.

47
Q

Depressed

Types of fractures

A

Broken bone portion is pressed inward. Type of skull fracture.

48
Q

Greenstick

Types of fractures

A

Bone breaks incompletely, like a twig. one side of shaft breaks and the other bends. Common in children whose bones are more flexible.

49
Q
  1. Hematoma Formation

Stages in healing bone fracture

A

Fracture is accompanied by hemorrhaging. Blood vessels break, releasing a clot to form hematoma around the break.

50
Q
  1. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation

Stages in healing bone fracture

A

Within a few days new blood vessels form in clot. Bone forming cells invade clot and begin forming soft callus.

51
Q
  1. Bony callus formation

Stages in healing bone fracture

A

Within a week trabeculae of new bone begin to form in bone-spanning width of the callus and growing thicker and stronger-becoming firm about two months after injury.

52
Q
  1. Bone Remodeling

Stages in healing bone fracture

A

Over a period of months the bony callus is remodeled. Excess material is removed, compact bone is laid down to strengthen shaft walls.

53
Q

Rickets (osteomalacia in a adults)

A

Soft and weak bones (that dont calcify) in children. Pain is felt when weight is put on bone. Malformations of child’s head and rib cage are common. Leads to bowed legs. Caused by inadequate amount of vitamin D/calcium phosphate. Exposure to sunlight and drinking vitamin D milk can cure it.

54
Q

Osteoporosis

A

excessive bone reabsorption
aged and postmenopausal women (there is a relationship between osteoporosis and low estrogen levels). Treated by calcium, vitamin D, increased exercise, and estrogen replacement.
