Test 4 Flashcards
____ are ECM layers of collagen fibers & calcium crystals.
Lamellae
5 functions of the Skeletal System?
Structural Support Protect delicate organs Produce blood cells from marrow Store fat & minerals Attach & move muscles
____ house osteocytes between layers.
Lacunae
____ are bone stem cells that divide and create new daughter cells.
Osteoprogenitor Cells
____ are immature daughter cells that produce new bone matrix.
Osteoblasts
____ is the forming of new bone matrix by secreting protein & organic components.
Osteogenesis
____ are mature daughter cells that were surrounded by bone matrix.
Osteocytes
____ help to maintain homeostasis by secreting chemicals that add or release minerals.
Osteocytes
Where are Osteocytes located?
In the Lacuna between Lamellae
____ allow communication. (And nutrients for stability)
Canaliculi
____ are giant bone cells with multiple nuclei that remove and recycle bone matrix.
(From other stem cells; have 50 nuclei)
Osteoclasts
____ is the breaking down of bone matrix by secreting acid & enzymes, releasing stored materials.
Osteolysis
____ account for 1/3 of total bone weight.
Collagen fibers
____ are made of organic protein, are strong and flexible and makes the bone “tensile.”
Collagen fibers
____ accounts for 2/3 of the total bone weight.
Calcium Salts
____ are made of inorganic minerals, are hard, inflexible and provide the bone with “compressional” strength.
Calcium Salts
What are hydroxyapatite crystals?
Calcium Salts
____ is the bone matrix initially formed by osteoblasts. (It lacks calcium salts that are later deposited)
Osteoid
What are the 4 main bone coverings?
External to internal
Periosteum
Compact Bone
Spongy Bone
Endosteum
___ are “fibers” from ligaments or tendons that are anchored into the bone.
Perforating Fibers
What type of cells are in the Periosteum?
Osteoprogenitor Cells
What are the function of the Periosteum?
Separate Bone and other Tissues
Supply Blood Vessels
Grow & Repair Bone
____ is the subunit of concentric lamellae with a central canal.
Osteon
What type of cells are in Compact Bone?
Oteocytes
What is the function of Compact Bone?
Bear weight in one direction
____ make up the osteon around the central canal.
Concentric Lamellae
____ is the filler between osteons. (old recycled osteons)
Interstitial Lamellae
___ encircles all osteons on the outer edge near the Periosteum. (original lamellae)
Circumferential Lamellae
____ is the network of thin lamellae plates. (no osteons)
Trabeculae
What type of cells are in Spongy Bone?
Osteocytes
What are the functions of Spongy Bone?
Reduce bone weight
Bear stress in multiple directions
Store Marrow
What type of cells are in the Endosteum?
Osteoprogenitor
Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
What are the functions of the Endosteum?
Grow, repair, & remodel bone
____ are the thin compact bone layers around spongy bone located on the ends of long bone.
Epiphyses
____ is the narrow zone between the epiphysis and diaphysis.
Metaphysis
___ is a hollow shaft composed of a thick layer of compact bone.
Diaphysis
____ covers the joint cartilage site to reduce friction.
Articular Cartilage
____ produces blood cells.
Red Bone Marrow
____ is stored in the Epiphysis and Diaphysis. (Medullary Cavity)
Red Bone Marrow
____ is the calcified remnant of cartilage from bone growth.
Epiphyseal line
