week 3 Lesson 1- Bone Flashcards
What is the epiphysis
Regions at the end of the bone
Spongy bone converted to compact bone
What is the diaphysis
Middle region bone
What is the medullary cavity
Found in the diaphysis. Hollow part of the bone that contains bone marrow.
What is the epiphyseal line
Region where bone growth terminated in adolescence
What is the periosteum
Double layer membrane around outside of bone (except Cartilage)
Outer fibrous (dense irregular)
Inner osteopenia layer (osteoblasts)
What is the endosteum
A membrane that lines the inner surface of bone tissue
Name the 2 types of bone tissue
Compact (cortical)
Trabecular (spongy)
Describe compact bone tissue
Smooth and solid
Generally cylinder shaped
Describe trabecular bone tissue
Loght porous spongy and mesh like
Structurally similar to honeycomb
What makes up the % of the bone
Organic matrix- protein colllage. 10%
Mag, sodium and bicarbonate. Water 25%
Mineral calcium and phosphate 65%
Name the function and location of osteoblasts
Bone formation
Growing portions of bone, periosteum and endosteum
Name the function and location of osteocytes
Sense mechanical strain
Trapped in matrix
Name the function and location of osteoclasts
Born resorption
Bone surfaces and sites of old injured uneeded bone
What is bone subjected to
Mechanical stress or load from external forces.
Muscle contraction, impact lonading, gravitational forces
What can stress on the bone be
Compressive. Tensile.
