MSK 1 Flashcards
what is the Shaft (main portion of the bone) called
Diaphysis
Ends of the bone; usually larger in diameter than the shaft.
Epiphysis
Regions in a mature bone where the diaphysis joins the epiphysis, this is where the growth plate is located in the growing stage (Stops between 18-21 years).
Metaphysis
Hyaline cartilage attached to articular bone surfaces is called..
Articular cartilage
- reduces friction between bones during movement and helps to absorb shock.
Membrane that covers the bone; consists of connective tissue, osteoprogenitor cells, and osteoblasts; essential for bone growth, repair, and nutrition
Periosteum
The space within the diaphysis that contains yellow bone marrow; also called “Marrow cavity”
Medullary cavity
The thin membrane that lines the medullary cavity.
Endosteum
The cells in which all connective tissue are formed.
Osteogenic cell
The only bone cells to undergo cell division - resulting cells develop into osteoblasts
Osteogenic cell
Bone cells found in the endosteum, the inner layer of the periosteum, and in the canals within bone that conatin blood vessels
Osteogenic cells
The bone building cells. They synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and organic components needed to build the extra cellular matrix of bone tissue, and initiate calcification.
Osteoblasts
Type of bone cells - maintain its daily metabolism, such as the exchange of nutrients and wastes with the blood.
Osteocytes
This bone cell functions in reabsorption (breakdown of extracellular bone matrix). also help regulate blood calcium levels.
osteoclast
Mature bone cells, main cell in bone tissue
osteocytes
Bone tissue found beneath the periosteum and provides protection, support and resists the stress produced by weight and movement.
Compact bone
Bone tissue located in the interior of the bone, protected by the compact bone. Supports and protects bone marrow
Spongy bone
This bone tissue consists of trabeculae where the red or yellow bone marrow are located, that contain numerous small blood vessels
spongy bone
which type of bone is classified by location
sutural
6 types of bone
sutural
long
short
flat
irregular
sesamoid
Most bones in the limbs are long bones with the exception of
wrist, ankle and kneecap
Which type of bone is embedded in tendons. They act to hold the tendon further away from the joint.
2 examples of these bones
Sesamoid bones. patella and pisiform.

Zygomatic bone
what bone is this? Does not articulate with any other bone. It is suspended from the the styloid process of the temporal bones by ligaments and muscles. Located in the anterior of the neck, it supports the tongue.
Hyoid bone
how many bones are in the vertebral column
26
The five regions of the vertebral column and how many bones they contain
Cervical region (7)
Thoracic region (12)
Lumbar region (5)
sacral region (1) (5 fused)
coccygeal region (1) (4 fused)
What goes through the foramen magnum?
The spinal cord which connects with the medulla oblongata. Vertebral and spinal arteries as well as the accessory XI nerve.
The smallest part of the sternum, no ribs attach to it but abdominal muscles do.
Xiphoid process
