Question
Answer
Long Bones   shaft & enlarged ends example: leg bones & arm bones  
🗑
Short Bones   blocky in shape & structure example: carpals & tarsals  
🗑
Flat Bones   flat example: cranium, ribs, clavicle, scapula, sternum, hip bones (largest; where most of our blood cells are made)  
🗑
Irregular Bones   others; everything else example: face bones, cheek bones, jaw, vertebra, xyphoid process  
🗑
Diaphysis   shaft; made mostly of compact bone  
🗑
Compact Bone   has a central canal with rings of cells  
🗑
Medullary Cavity   contains endosteum & yellow bone marrow  
🗑
Yellow Bone Marrow   store fats  
🗑
Epiphysis   mostly spongy bone  
🗑
Spongy Bone   more beneficial where bones are coming into contact; mostly myeloid tissue  
🗑
Red Bone Marrow (myeloid tissue)   makes blood cells; stem cells (unspecialized)  
🗑
Periosteum   fairly thick membrane o the outside of the bone  
🗑
Articular Cartilage   cartilage cap that we have over the epyphysis if the bone forms a joint with antoher bone  
🗑
Osteons (Haversian Systems)   group of cells surrounding one central canal  
🗑
Haversian Canal   cental canal; microscopic opening containing neurons & capillaries  
🗑
Osteocyte   general term for bone cells  
🗑
Lacuane   space where we find osteocyte  
🗑
Canaliculi   connects all the lacunae which all feedback to the central nervous system; delivery system  
🗑
Endochondral Ossification   process used to make a long bone  
🗑
Endochondral   process that occurs into/within cartilage  
🗑
Ossification   harden or become rock like; depositing of minerals  
🗑
Osteoblasts   bone cells that add calcium to the bone (taking from body fluids)  
🗑
Primary Ossification Center   area in the diaphysis where calcium is being deposited  
🗑
Secondary Ossification Center   at lease 2 found in the epiphysis, one for each structure found at the ends  
🗑
Epiphyseal Plate   growth plate; cartilage between primary & secondary centers; last areas where calcium will be deposited; once changed into bone, growing is complete  
🗑
Remodeling/Repair of bones   why? amount of calcium in body fluids kept in homeostasis how? osteoblasts responsible for adding & osteoclasts responsible for taking  
🗑
Osteoclasts   have the ability to dissolve bone and remove calcium  
🗑
Functions of Bones   support, protection, movement, hematopoiesis, storage  
🗑
Support   rigid framework to support the body  
🗑
Protection   lungs, brain, heart, spine surrounded by a case of bones  
🗑
Movement   connected in was that allow movement as well as connected to muscles which provide the force for movment  
🗑
Hematopoiesis   making blood cells  
🗑
Storage   calcium & other minerals, fat- yellow marrow  
🗑
