Objectives 1-5 Flashcards
Periosteum
Membranous outer covering of a long bone
6 functions of the bone
Support Protection Assisting in movement Mineral homeostasis Production of blood cells Triglyceride storage
Ednochondral
The method of ossification forming most bones
Epiphysis
The enlarged ends of a long bone
Hyaline
Articulate cartilage is an example of the cartilage type
Haversian canal
The center of an osteomyelitis which carries blood vessels longitudinally through bone
Diaphysis
The shaft of a long bone
Lamellae
Rings of bony tissue filled with minerals and surrounding the Haversian canal
Osteocytes
Mature bone cells
Spongy
Bone that contains numerous air spaces between cells
Lacunae
Microscopic cavities in bone containing osteocytes
Medullary canal
A space in bone which contains morrow
Osteoblasts
Bone forming cell
Compact
Very dense bone with no air spaces within
Canaliculi
Small channels connecting lacunae with each other
Osteon (Haversian System)
The unit of structure in compact bone
Matrix
The mineral part of the bone
Epiphyseal plate
The growth area in bones where epiphysis joins diaphysis
Connective
Bone is an example of this major tissue type
Osteoporosis
Bone disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and increased susceptibility to fractures
Diaphysis
The area of a long bone containing the thickest layer of compact bone
Long bones
Greater length than width
Short bones
Somewhat cube shaped
Flat bones
Very thin
Irregular bones
Complex shape
Endosteum
Membrane that lines the medullary cavity
Osteoclasts
Huge cells that breakdown the matrix of the bone
Needed for growth and repair
Axial skeleton
Skull Hyoid Auditory Ossicles Vertebral column Thorax
Appendicular skeleton
Pectoral girdle
Upper limbs
Pelvic girdle
Lower limbs
Cranial bones
Frontal Parietal Temporal Occipital Sphenoid Ethmoid
Facial bones
Nasal Maxillae Zygomatic Mandible Lacrimal Palatine Inferior nasal conchae Vomer
Suture
Immovable joint found only in the skull
4 Sutures
Coronal-between the frontal and parietal bones
Saggital-between the 2 parietal bones
Lamboidal-between the parietal and occipital
Squamous-between parietal and temporal
Paranasal sinuses
Lined with mucous membranes Frontal Ethmoid Sphenoid Maxillae
Fontanels
Membrane filled spaces between cranial bones at birth Anterior Posterior Anterolateral Posterolateral
Hyoid bone
Doesn’t connect with any other bone
Supports the tongue
Vertebral column
Encloses and protects the spinal cord
Supports the head
33 bones in several regions
Cervical vertebrae-neck Thoracic vertebrae-chest Lumbar vertebrae-lower back Sacrum Coccyx
Processes
Points of attachment for muscles with other vertebrae
Thorax
Entire chest
Protects and encloses organs in the thoracic and upper abdominal cavity
Sternum
Thoracic bone
Breast bone
True ribs
Attach directly to sternum
False ribs
Attach indirectly or not at all to sternum
