Test 2 (Second Time Around) Flashcards
What are the three types of cartilage?
Hyaline
Elastic
Fibrocartilage
Cartilage-forming cells which produce new tissue by secreting a matrix
chondroblasts
Cartilage growth from the outside
Appositional growth
Chondrocytes within the cell divide and secrete a new matrix
interstitial growth
Short bones that grow within a tendon
Sesamoid bones
Long bone shaft
diaphysis
Ends of the long bone
epiphyses
Indicated location of growth plate
Epiphyseal line
Area in the center of the diaphysis with no spongy bone
Medullary cavity
Groups of cylinders to help bone resist stresses
Osteons
Runs through the core of each osteon and contains blood vessels and nerves
central canal
Lie at right angles to the central canals and connect the blood and nerve supply of the periosteum
Perforating canals
Steam cells that differentiate into bone forming osteoblasts
Osteogenic cells
Bone forming cells
Osteoblasts
Mature bone cells
Osteocytes
Cells that reabsorb or break down bone tissue
Osteoclast
Bones develop from a membrane
Intramembraneous ossification
Bones develop from hyaline cartilage
Endochondral ossification
Growth by addition of bone tissue to its surface
appositional growth
How often is compact bone replaced?
Every 10 years
Structures that stick out usually for muscle or ligament attachment
processes
Large rounded projection
tuberosity
Ridge
Crest
Large blunt projection
Trochanter
