Q

Stratum Basale

A

Deepest layer of epidermis. Consists of single layer of cuboidal to low columnar stem cells and keratinocytes resting on the basement membrane. As stem cells divide, give rise to keratinocytes that migrate up.

Q

Stratum Spinosum

A

Consists of several layers of keratinocytes. In most places, thickest stratum except palms and soles. Deeper cells continue dividing but as pushed up they cease. Instead, produce more keratin filaments which causes cells to flatten.

Q

Osteology

Study These Flashcards
A

Study of bone.

24
Q

Skeletal System

Study These Flashcards
A

Composed of bones, cartilages and ligaments.

25
Functions of the Skeleton
1) Support 2) protection (Brain, heart) 3) Movement 4) Electrolyte balance 5) Acid Base Balance (buffers blood against pH changes by absorbing or releasing alkaline phosphate and carbonate) 6) Blood formation
26
Bone
Osseous Tissue. connective tissue with matrix hardened by calcium phosphate and other minerals.
27
Mineralization
Hardening process, also called calcification.
28
Flat Bones
Thin curved plated bones (cranial bones, sternum, scapula, ribs, hip bones). Has an inner and outer table that encloses spongy bone.
29
Long Bones
Most important to movement. (Humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula, metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges)
30
Short Bones
Wrists, ankles
31
Irregular Bones
Vertebrae / some skull bones
32
Compact Bone
Outer shell of dense white osseous tissue (Cortical bone)
33
Marrow Cavity
Medullary cavity, enclosed by compact bone.
34
Spongy Bone
At the ends of bone. more loosely organized form of osseous tissue. Always enclosed by compact bone.
35
Diaphysis
Shaft of long bone
36
Epiphysis
expanded head at end of diaphysis.
37
Articular Cartilage
Joint surface where one bone meets another is covered with this layer of hyaline cartilage
38
Nutrient Foramina
minute holes that blood vessels penetrate
39
Periosteum
External sheath of the bone that has layer of tough, fibrous collagen and an inner osteogenic layer of bone forming cells.
40
Perforating fibers
When collagen fibers penetrate into the bone marrow to bind muscle to bone.
41
Endosteum
Thin layer of reticular connective tissue that lines internal marrow cavity, covers all honeycombed surfaces of spongy bone.
42
Diploe
spongy layer in the cranium.
43
Osteogenic Cell
Stem cells that develop from embryonic mesenchyme and give rise to most bone cell types. Occur in endosteum and inner layer of periosteum. Some become osteoblasts.
44
Osteoblasts
Bone forming cells that synthesize the organic matter of bone then promote mineralization. Called osteogenesis. Form rows in endosteum and inner periosteum. Nonmitotic. Only come from osteogenic cells. Secrete hormone osteocalcin, which stimulates insulin secretion by pancreas.
45
Osteocytes
Former osteoblasts trapped in matrix they deposited. Reside in tiny cavities called lacunae, which are interconnected by slender channels called canaliculi. Connected by gap junctions to pass nutrients and signals. Some resorb bone matrix, others deposit it.
46
Osteoclasts
bone dissolving cells on bone surfaces. Their action is called osteolysis, opposite of osteogenesis. Develop from bone marrow. Made up of several stem cells. Have 3-4 nuclei.
47
concentric lamellae
layers of matrix concentrically aranged around central haversian canal
48
Osteon (Haversian System)
Central canal and its lamellae, basic structural unit of compact bone. Cylinder of tissue surrounding a central canal. Joined by transverse or diagonal passages called perforating canals.
49
Interstitial Lamellae
remains of old osteons that broke down and bone grew and remodeled itself.
50
Circumferential Lamellae
Inner and outer bondaries of dense bone are arranged in circumferential lamellae that run parallel to bone surface.
51
Spongy Bone
Consists of a lattice of delicate slivers called spicules (rods or spines). and trabeculae (Thin plates or beams).
52
Bone Marrow
General term for soft tissue in marrow cavity of long bone. Red and Yellow
53
Red Bone Marrow (Myeloid tissue)
Nearly all bones in children. Also called hematopoietic tissue, produces rbc.
54
Yellow bone marrow
Nearly all bones in adults. Can transform back into red morrow in chronic anemia.
55
Adult Red Marrow
Found in skull, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, pelvis, heads of long bones.
