Unit 2- basic Osteology and Bones of the Superior limb Flashcards
Bone tissue [ textus osseous]
one of the specialized connective tissues. consists of bone cells and extracellular matrix composed of fibers, ground substance and mineral
Osteoblasts [osteoblastocytus]
relatively active and secrete the collagenous fibers and the amorphic glucoproteinaceous ground substance
osteocytes
studio apt “the space the tunnels”
osteoclasts
remodel bone by drilling
osseous lacunae
studio apt (the space)
osseous canaliculi
“tunnels” connecting the space
osteonal lamellae/ concentric lamellae of an osteon
lamellae- ring
osteon
unit of bone tissue, @ least one ring and central canal
external circumferential lamellae
around outside of bone
internal circumferential lamellae
around inside bone (not found in growing long bones)
interstitial lamellae
chunks of lamellae and don’t have central canal
compact bone tissue
dense
spongy bone tissue
looks like a sponge to give strength and make it light
periosteum
located around outside of bone
endosteum
located inside bone
articular cartilage
cartilage that covers and protects articulating surfaces of bones
nutrient canals
located inside bone and vessels travel around
nutrient foramen
hole, which allows vessels to enter bone through the outside
long bones
humerus, radius, ulna and bones of hands and pes. 88 bones total
short bones
wrist (16 total) and ancle (14 total)
flat bones
clavicles, scapulae, hip bones, ribs, sternum
irregular bones
bones of the head, auditory ossicles, mandible, hyoid bone
sesamoid bones
knee cap (patela) 2 base of toe and 2 on thumb
epiphysis
the end of a long bone
diaphysis
the body (shaft) of a long bone
metaphysis
where the growing is happening
axial skeleton
bones of the head, vertebral column, ribs and sternum
appendicular skeleton
bones of the free part of the limbs and includes the clavicle and scapula of the pectoral girdle and hip bones of the pelvic girdle
free parts of the limbs
protrude from the trunk
pectoral girdle
bony support for the free parts o the superior limbs
pelvic girdle
inferior limbs
clavicle
elongated flat bone that forms the only direct skeletal connection between the axial skeleton and the superior limb
infraspinous fossa of the scapula
“depression”
acromion of the scapula
- on the spine
humerus
largest bone in the superior limb
greater tubercle of the humerus
biggest bump on the humerus head
lesser tubercle of the humerus
smaller pump on the humerus head
radius
laterally positioned long bone within the antebrachium
ulna
medially positioned long bone within the antebrachium
carpal bones
8 short bones that form the skeleton within the wrist
metacarpal bone
5 long bones that from the skeletal support of the metacarpus
proximal phalanx of a finger
closest to a metacarpal bone
middle phalanx of a finger
between a proximal and distal phalanx in a digit
distal phalanx of a finger
phalanx associated with the tip of the digit
sesamoid bones
two small sesamoid bones located at the base of each proximal phalanx of the thumb
