Unit 3 Flashcards
Diaphysis
Bone shaft, walls of compact bone, hollow medullary cavity, w/ yellow marrow in adults
Epiphysis
Enlarged ends, spongy bone w/ red marrow
Spongy (cancellous) bone
lightens load + maintains strength
Compact bone
Resists compression + provides more resistance
Medullary cavity
Hollow space in center of long bones that store bone marrow and allows blood vessels to pass through
Red marrow
Soft, spongy tissue found in the cavities of bones that produce blood cells
Yellow marrow
Made up of fat and found in the cavities of large bones, produce cartinge fat and bone
Endosteum
Line spongy bone and medullary cavity
Periosteum
Surrounds bone (except particular cartilage of epiphyses) entry of blood, lymph vessels + nerves
Epiphany seal plate
. Disc of cartilage that’s located at the ends of long bones in children and teen growth
What are the 2 types of bone formation?
Intramembranous and endochondral ossification
Zone of resting (reserve) cartilage
Inactive chodrocytes on epiphysis side
② zone of proliferation (growth zone)
Cartilage cells undergo mitosis, pushing the epiphysis away from diaphysis
③ zone of hypertrophy
Older cells enlarge
④ zone of calcification (destruction)
Matrix becomes calcified, cartilage cells die, matrix begins to detoriate
⑤ zone of bone formation (osteogende)
New bone formation occurs by osteoblasts (subsequently eroded by osteoblasts oblasts form medullary cavity)
Skeletal system function
Support, movement,protection, mineral/fat storage, hemotopolesis
Orthopedist
Muscle skeletal specialist
Long bones
Longer than wide, levers for muscle, (femur, radius, phalanges, meta carpals, etc.)
Short-cube like bones
Stability, support, gliding movements, (carpals and tarsals)
Flat thin and curved bone
Anchor muscles, protection (sternum,ribs, scapulae, cranial)
Irregular bone
Protection (vertebrae, facial bones)
Sesamoid
. Small and round, imbedded intends, protects tendons agal pression (patella)
Articulations
Site where bone meets bone (joints)
