Module 6 - Bones Flashcards
Bone Function
Functions
Support – attachment site for muscles – structural framework – support for soft tissue
Protection – internal organs have bony coverings
Movement – assist muscles
Mineral Homeostasis – store and release minerals – calcium and phosphorus
Production of blood cells – red marrow of bones – hemopoiesis
Triglyceride storage – yellow marrow
Bone Classification
Classification
Long bones – shaft with two ends - femur
Short – cube-like – ankle bones (tarsals)
Flat – thin and curved – skull bones
Irregular
Long Bone - Parts
Long Bones
Diaphysis
Epiphyses
Metaphysis
Hyaline cartilage
Periosteum
Medullary cavity
Endosteum
Red marrow
Yellow marrow
Diaphysis
Diaphysis – shaft
Epiphyses
Epiphyses – ends
Metaphysis
Metaphysis – area b/w diaphysis and epiphyses – epiphyseal plate
Hyaline cartilage
Hyaline cartilage – ends of bones – reduces friction and absorbs shock
Periosteum
Periosteum – connective tissue – covering surface – osteogenic cells – protect bones – assist in fracture repair – nourish bone tissue – attachment point for ligaments and tendons
Medullary cavity
Medullary cavity – in shaft – yellow marrow
Endosteum
Endosteum – lines inner medullar cavity
Red marrow
Red marrow – blood cell production
Yellow Marrow
Yellow marrow – fat storage
Bone Cells
Osteoprogenitor
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
Osteoclasts – break down bone – reabsorption
Osteoprogenitor
Osteoprogenitor – stem cells
Osteoblasts
Osteoblasts – bone building cells
