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
