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
