module 3 Flashcards
zone of resting cartilage (zone 1)
mature chondrocytes
zone of proliferating cartilage (zone 2)
chondrocytes undergo rapid mitosis
zone of hypertrophic cartilage (zone 3)
cells are enlarged and degenerating
zone of calcified cartilage (zone 4)
dead chondrocytes and degenerated matrix is eaten by osteoclasts
zone of ossification (zone 5)
osteoblasts secrete osteoid and osteocytes in lucanae
endochondral ossification
*bone making inside cartilage
*8-12 weeks the skeleton is hyaline cartilage
*at diaphysis the chondrocytes enlarge, degenerate, and die
*blood cells deliver osteoclasts and osteocytes to this region (primary oss. center)
short bones
length almost equal to width (carpals, tarsals)
long bones
greater in length than width (femur, humerus, tibia)
flat bones
flat, thin surfaces, sometimes curved (cranial)
irregular bones
elaborate, sometimes complex shapes (vertebrae)
siesmoid bones
embedded in fibrous connective tissue (patella)
structural joint types
cartilaginous, fibrous, synovial
structural joint types
cartilaginous, fibrous, synovial
functional joint types
synarthroses, amphiarthroses, diarthroses
slow twitch oxidative fibers
red muscle fibers, more mitochondria, slower blood flow, atp through oxidative chamber
