musculoskeletal system Flashcards
articular cartilage
thin layer of cartilage covering surfaces of bones at joints
cancellous bone
spongy ends of long bones
ossification
process of bone formation
calcium
hard material found in bones and teeth
compact bone
hard dense bone tissue forms outer layer
osteoclast
bone cell absorbs and removes tissue
osteoblast
bone cell forms tissue immature bone cell
musculoskeletal system
bone joints ligaments tendons muscles; movement protection support storage body temp cell formation
osseous tissue
bone tissue
collagen
structural protein white fibrous strands
osteocyte
bone cell
diaphysis
shaft of long bone
endosteum
inner lining of medullary cavity
epiphyseal plate
growth plate
epiphysis
each end of long bone
medullary cavity
central hollowed out portion in shaft; yellow marrow
metaphysis
flared portion of long bone between epiphyseal and diaphysis
periosteum
membrane surrounding bone contains blood vessels and nerves
red bone marrow
found in cancellous bone site of hematopolesis
yellow bone marrow
found in diaphysis fatty tissue
tonus
muscle tone balanced muscle tension
tetany
continuous muscle spasm tetanus
tenosynovitis
inflammation of the tendon
myotonia
disorder a delayed relax after contration
