Skeletal Flashcards
Cancellous Bone
- light and spongy
-contains bone marrow
Compact Bone
- Dense and heavy
- composed of haversion systems that run along legnth
Haversian Systems
-Concentric layers of ossified bone matrix arranged around central cannal
-Blood and lymph vessels and nerves
Foramen
Hole in bone
Fossa
Depressed area on bone surface
Periosteum
Membrane that outlines outer layer of bone
Endosteum
membrane that lines inner layer of bone
Osteoblasts
Cells that produce bone (BUILD)
Osteoclasts
Cells that remove bone (CONSUME)
Endochondral Bone Formation
Process of bone formation that occurs when cartiliage is replaced by bone tissue
Intramembranous Bone Formation
Process involves the direct conversion of mesenchyme to the bone
Epiphyseal plates
Ossification of the layer part of epiphyseal cartilage
Red bone marrow
Produces/ forms red blood cells
Yellow bone marrow
produces cartilage and fats
Axial skeleton
Bones in the skull/ ribs/ scapula (upper part of body)
