Unit 5 bones Flashcards
Types of cartilage
Hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
Types of hyaline
Articular, intercostal, respiratory, nasal
Covers the ends of long bones
Articular cartilage
Connects the ribs to the sternum
Intercostal cartilage
Makes up the larynx and reinforces air passages
Respiratory cartilage
Supports the nose
Nasal cartilage
(type of hyaline cartilage)
Elastic cartilage
similar to hyaline cartilage but contains elastic fibers
FOUND in extrnal ear and layrinx.
what type of cartilage is found in external ear and epiglottis (larynx)
elastic cartilage
fibrocartilage
highly compressed with great (tensile) strength,
found in menisci of the knee and in intervertebral discs.
growth from the perichondrium (outside wall) inwards toward the middle
appositional
chondrocytes (cartilage cells) divide and grow within matrix and expand from middle.
inside to outside
interstitial
calcification of cartilage occurs
1)During normal bone growth
2)during old age
(solidification with calcium salts.)
Axial
bones of the skull, vertebral column and rib cage.
appendicular
bones of the upper and lower limbs, shoulder and hip.
bones longer than they are wide
long bone
short bones
cube-shaped bones of the wrist and ankle
bones that form within tendons (ex; patella)
Flat bones
thin, flattened and a bit curved (flat and over an area)
irregular
bones with complicated shapes
functions of bones
1) support- form the framework and the body and cradles soft organs
2) protect- provide a protective case for the brain, spinal cord, and vital organs.
3) movement- provide levers for muscles
4) mineral storage- reservoir for growth factor minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus
5) blood cell formation: hematopoiesis occurs within marrow of bones. (red marrow)
Ends of bones in long bones
