Mace - Bone Flashcards
supporting CT of skeletal system (4)
cartilage
bones
ligaments
tendons
what are the 3 types of cartilage
hyaline
fibro
elastic
what are the 2 types of bone tissue
compact
spongy
wha type of tissue are ligaments made of
dense regular
what type of tissue are ligaments made of
dense regular
dense regular tissue is __,
which makes it hard to heal
avascular
ligaments anchor __
to __
bones
bones
tendons anchor __
to __
muscles
bone
cartilage is made of __ CT, which makes it more flexible than bone
semi-rigid
describe the matrix of cartilage
semisolid
what are the contents of the semisolid matrix of cartilage (3)
ground substane
collagen fibers
elastic fibers
the matrix of cartilage does not contain __
or __
calcium
phosphorus
what is ground substance
chondroitin sulfate
what produces the matrix of cartilage
chondroblasts
chondroblasts produce the matrix and surround themselves until they are trapped in a cavity called a
lacunae
once chondroblasts become enclosed in lacunae, they are called
chondrocytes
what is the sheath that surrounds elastic and and most hyaline cartilage
perichondrium
perichondrium is made of
dense irregular CT
how does the perichondrium contribute to cartilage growth throughout life
contains a reserve population of chondroblasts
in its mature state, cartilage is __
avascular
if mature cartilage is avascular, how are waste and nutrients transported in and out
diffusion
why does cartilage heal slowly after damage
bc it is avascular
what are the structures within the hyaline cartilage in this pic
chondrocytes
what is the blue in this pic showing
locations of hyaline cartilage
what is the red in this pic showing
locations of fibrocartilage
the knee contains both
hyaline AND fibrocartilage
the epiphyseal plate is made of
hyaline cartilage
the epiphysis contains what kind of cartilage
articular
what is the mc type of cartilage
hyaline
describe the appearance of the matrix of hyaline cartilage
glassy
hyaline cartilage contains __ cartilage fibers (2)
invisible fine
hyaline cartilage is usually covered by
perichondrium
name 7 places where hyaline cartilage is found
tip of nose
trachea and bronchioles
most larynx
costal cartilage
articular cartilage
epiphyseal plate
fetal skeleton
are protein fibers visible in the matrix of hyaline cartilage
protein fibers are “not very” visible in the matrix
elastic cartilage contains a __
__ mesh of elastic fibers
conspicuous weblike
what covers elastic cartilage
perichondrium
where is elastic cartilage found (2)
outer ear
epiglottis
what is the fxn of elastic cartilage (
provides flexible, elastic support
.elastic cartilage is not associated w.
bone
elastic looks similar to hyaline cartilage - what are is 2 major difference
chondrocytes are more closely packed in elastic
elastic fibers clearly seen
describe the collagen fibers in fibrocartilage
large
coarse
parallel bundles
does fibrocartilage have perichondrium
no!
what is the fxn of fibrocartilage (2)
resists compression
absorbs shock
where is fibrocartilage found (3)
pubic symphysis
menisci
intervertebral discs
what are the support/protection fxn’s of bone (3)
structural support
framework for body
protect delicate tissue
name 4 delicate tissues that the bone protects
rib cage → lungs/heart
cranial bones → brain
vertebrae → spinal cord
pelvis → urinary/reproductive organs; terminal ends of GI tract
what are the 2 movement functions of the bone
attachment sites for muscles, soft tissue, some organs
provide levers for muscle contraction → exert pull on the skeleton
bone marrow contains stem cells that form (3)
RBC
WBC
platelets
why are trabecullae inside bone multidirectional
to resist load in different directions
what cartilage covers spongy bone
articular
what are 2 storage components of bone
mineral reserves
energy reserves
bones hold most of body’s __
and __, which is released into the blood as needed
calcium
phosphate
what is stored in yellow bone marrow
lipids
T/F yellow bone marrow is more is found in higher amounts in babies than in adults
T
how do nutrients enter and exit the bone
nutrient foramen
the growth plate is also called the
epiphyseal plate
what is the region of mature bone between the diaphysis and epiphysis
metaphysis
what is the epiphyseal plate made of
hyaline cartilage
what is the fxn of the epiphyseal growth plate in kids
continued lengthwise bone growth
in adults, the epiphyseal plate disappears and turns into the
epiphyseal line
the epiphyseal plate in kids remains open bc it is not
calcified
what is the tough sheath covering the outer surface of bone
periosteum
the periosteum is a fibrous layer of
dense irregular CT
3 fxns of the periosteum
protects bone from surrounding structures
anchors blood vessels and nerves to bone surface
attachment site for ligaments and tendons
what 3 cells are found in the inner cellular layer of the periosteum
osteoprogenitor cells
osteoblasts
osteoclasts
what covers all internal surfaces of bone w.in the medullary cavity
endosteum
what are 3 cell types found w.in the endosteum
osteoprogenitor
osteoblasts
osteoclasts
3 layers of the periosteum
fibrous layer
cellular layer
perforating fibers
