Q

what are osteocytes

A

mature bone cells situated in the bone matrix, inside lacunae-compact

17
Q

what are lacunae

A

cavities in the bone matrix-compact

18
Q

what are lamellae

A

Concentric circles of lacunae situated around the central canal (haversian)-compact

19
Q

what is the central canal

A

opening at the center of an osteon

20
Q

long-Describe the diaphysis (shaft)

A

a shaft with enlarged ends and an outside covering called a periosteum

21
Q

what secures he periosteum to the bone underneath

A

perforating sharpeys fibers

22
Q

what is the epiphyseal line

A

the evidence of the plate with the same name that children have. The plate was made of hyaline cartilage that helped them grow.

23
Q

what is the endosteum

A

what lines the inner surface of the shaft

and is made of connective tissue

24
Q

what is medullary tissue

A

cavity in the shaft that contains red marrow for kids and mostly yellow for adults

25
describe flat bones
``` Thin, flattened, and usually curved Two thin layers of compact bone sandwich a layer of spongy bone between them Examples: Most bones of the skull Ribs Sternum ```
26
describe short bones
Generally cube-shaped Contain mostly spongy bone with an outer layer of compact bone Sesamoid bones are a type of short bone that form within tendons (patella) ankles and wrists
27
vertebrae and hips bones are what type of bone
irregular
28
what is a joint
where two bones meet
29
what is the purpose of joints
mobility and holds bones together
30
slightly movable joints are called
amphiarthrosis
31
freely movable joints are called
diarthroses
32
what are the four distinguishing features of synovial joints
Articular cartilage Articular capsule Joint cavity Reinforcing ligaments
33
where is synovial fluid found
the joint cavity
34
what are the different types of fibrous joints
sutures-immobile syndesmosis-limited mobility(distal ends of tibia and fibula gomphoses-immobile(where teeth meet cheek)
35
articulating bones are separated by what
a joint cavity
36
immovable joints are called
synathroses
37
what are fibrous joints connected by
fibrous tissue
38
Cartilaginous joints are connected by what
fibrocartilage
39
What are the 2 types of Cartilaginous joints
Synchondrosis Immobile Found in epiphyseal plates of growing longs bones Symphysis movable Found in the pubic symphysis, intervertebral joints
