Test 2 Flashcards
Connects the ribs to the sternum
costal cartilage
Pubis symphysis
In women, the cartilage in between the hip bones that makes child birth possible
What are the three types of cartilage
Hyaline cartilage Elastic cartilage Fibrocartilage
Appositional growth
The growth of cartilage from the outside Chondroblasts produce new tissue by secreting a matrix
Interstitial growth
Growth of cartilage from within Chondrocytes within the cartilage divide and secrete a new matrix
What tissues compromise bone
bone nervous tissue blood tissue cartilage epithelial tissue
What are the primary functions of bone
support movement protection mineral storage blood cell formation and energy storage
Stem cells that differentiate into bone forming osteoblasts
Osteogenic cells
Bone-forming cells
Osteoblasts
Mature bone cell
Osteocytes
Cells that reabsorb or breakdown bone tissue
Osteoclast
Groups of cylinders to help bone resist stresses
Osteons
Components of an osteon
Lamella central canal/haversion canal runs throughout the core contains blood vessels and nerves Perforating canals to connect blood supply
Diaphysis
Shaft of long bone
Epiphyses
The ends of long bone Covered with articular cartilage
Epiphyseal line
Indicates location of growth plate
Vessels
Nutrient artery in long bones Nutrients are via the nutrient foramen
Medulla cavity
area in long bones in the center of the diaphysis with no spongy bone and is filled with marrow
Periosteum
Membrane on long bones that covers the outer surface of the bone
Endosteum
Membrane on the long bone that covers the internal bone surface
Structures that stick out, usually for muscle or ligament attachment
Processes
Large rounded projection
tuberosity
Ridge on bone
Crest
Large blunt projection
Trochanter
Narrow ridge of bone
Line
Small round projection on bone
Tubercle
Projection above a condyle
Epicondyle
Sharp, slender projection on bone
Spine
What are the articular surfaces of the bones
Head Neck Facet Condyle
Bony expansion of the articular surface
Head
Narrow area distal to the head of the articular surface
Neck
Smooth surface on the articular surface
Facet
Rounded projection off of the articular surface
Condyle
What are the depressions and openings of the bones
foramen groove fissure notch fossa meatus sinus
Round or oval opening
Foramen
The furrow on the bone
Groove
The indentation on the bone
Notch
A narrow slit on the bone
fissure
Shallow depression on the bone
fossa
Canal in the bone
Meatus
Cavity within a bone
Sinus
When bone breaks but does not pierce the skin
Simple fracture
When a bone breaks and pierces the skin
Compound fracture
When a bone breaks into small fragments
Communicated Bone Fracture
When a bone is crushed
Compression Bone Fracture
Fracture caused by excessive twisting
Spiral Bone Fracture
When the epiphyseal separates from the diaphysis along the epiphyseal plate
Epiphyseal Bone Fracture
Bone portion is pressed inward
Depression Bone Fracture
