Ch.7 Skeletal Muscle Flashcards
Cells that produce bone by secreting matrix
Osteoblasts
Hardening of the matrix
Ossification
Former osteoblasts that have gotten trapped in lacunae
Osteocytes
Threadlike processes in tiny channels through the bone
Canaliculi
Blood cell formation
Hematopoiesis
Light and spongy, Spicules of bone with many spaces between them and bone marrow
Cancellous Bone
Heavy and dense, tiny tightly compacted cylinders of bones
Compact Bone
Membrane that covers the outer surfaces of bones
Periosteum
Membrane that lines hollow interior surfaces of bones
Endosteum
Fills the spaces within bones
Bone Marrow
Most common bone marrow in younger animals, Hematopoietic tissue
Red bone marrow
Primarily adipose connective tissue, most common bone marrow in adult animals
Yellow bone marrow
The joint surfaces are
Articular Surfaces
Lumps, Bumps, and other projections on a bone
Processes
Holes in bones
Foramen
Smooth areas of compact bone where bones come in contact with each other
Joints
Flat articular surface
Facet
Depressed or sunken area on surface of bone
Fossa
Bones of the head and trunk, located along central axis of body
Axial Skeleton
Jagged immovable fibrous joints
Sutures
