TermDefinition
perichondrium around the cartilage acts like a girdle to resist outward expansion when the cartilage is compressed
articular cartilage point of connection which cover the ends of most bones at movable joints
costal cartilage which connect the ribs to the sternum (breastbone)
respiratory cartilage which from the skeleton of the larynx ( voice box) and reinforce other respiratory passageways
nasal cartilage suppor the external nose
elastic cartilage resemble hyaline cartilages but they contain more stretchy elastic fibers and so are better able to stand up to repeated bending
fibrocartilage consist of roughly parallel rows of chondrocytes alternating with thick collagen fibers
appositional growth cartilage forming cells in the surrounding perichondrium secrete new matrix against the external face of the existing cartilage tissue
interstitial growth the lacunae-bound chondrocytes divide and secrete new matrix, expanding the cartilage from within
hematopoiesis occurs in the red marrow cavities of certain bones
axial skeleton forms the long axis of the body and includes the bones of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage, generally speaking these bones protect, support, or carry other body parts
appendicular skeleton consist of the bones of the upper and lower limbs and the girdles (shoulder bones and hip bones) that attach the limbs to the axial skeleton bones of the limbs help us move from place to place (locomotion) and manipulate our environment
long bones are considerably longer than they are wide a long bone has a shaft plus two ends, which are often expanded
short bones are roughly cube shaped. the bones of the wrist and ankle are examples
sesamoid bones special type of short bone that form in a tendon
flat bones are thin flattened, and usually a bit curved
irregular bones have complicated shapes that fit none of the preceding classes.
organ a part of the body formed of two or more tissues and adapted to carry out a specific function
compact bone external layer
spongy (trabecular) bone internal layer of skeletal bone
diploe non symmetrical molecules that contain electrically unbalanced atoms
diaphysis tubular or shaft, forms the long axis of the bone
medullary cavity Central cavity of a long bone
epiphysis are the bone ends
epiphyseal line Between the diaphysis and each epiphysis of an adult long is an
epiphyseal plate plate of hyaline cartilage at the junction of the diaphysis and epiphysis that provides for growth in length of a long bone
periosteum a glistening white, double-layered membrane called the
fibrous layer dense irregular connective tissue
osteogenic layer next to the bone surface consists primarily of primitive stem cells
nutrient foramen Openings
perforating (Sharpey's) Fibers
fibers tufts of collagen fibers that extend from its fibrous layer into the bone matrix
endosteum "within the bone"a delicate connective tissue membrane covers internal bone surfaces
hematopoietic tissue Red marrow
bone markings serve as sites of muscle, ligament, and tendon attachment, as joint surfaces, or as conduits for blood vessels and nerves
osteogenic cells mitotically active stem cells found in the membranous periosteum and endosteum
osteoblasts Bone forming cells secrete unmineralized matrix called osteoid
osteoid unmineralized bone matrix
osteocyte mature bone cells that occupy spaces (lacunae) that conform to their shape
bone lining cells are flat cells found on bone surfaces where bone remodeling is not going on
periosteal/endosteal Bone lining cells on the external bone surface and those lining internal surface are called
osteoclasts : Bone destroying cells Ruffled border Located in resorption bay
ruffled border Directly contacts the bone
osteon (Haversian system) the structural unit of compact bone
lamella column-like tubes collagen (and minerals) run in single direction … and run in opposite directions in adjacent lamellae
central (Haversian) canal the canal in the center of each osteon that contains minute blood vessels and nerve fibers that serve the needs of the osteocytes
perforating (Volkmann's) canals canals that run at right angles to the long axis of the bone, connecting the vascular and nerve supplies of the periosteum to those of the central canals and medullary cavity
lacunae Cavities containing osteocytes
canaliculi tiny canals connecting lacunae Remove waste, bring nutrients, and communicate
interstitial lamellae incomplete lamellae that lie between intact osteons, filling the gaps between forming osteons or representing the remnant of an osteon that has been cut through by bone remolding
circumferential lamellae Located just deep to the periosteum and just superficial to the end osteom, extend around the entire circumference of the diaphysisand and effectively resist twisting of the long bone
spongy bone Internal layer of skeletal bone
osteoid (organic part of matrix) ground substance collagen fibers
hydroxyapatites (mineral salts) Largely calcium phosphates present as tiny, tightly packed, needle like crystals in and around collagen fibers in the extracellular matrix
ossification The process of bone formation
endochondral ossification a bone develops by replacing hyaline cartilage
endochondral bone When endochondral ossification occurs the resulting bone is called
periosteal bone collar a bone collar forms around the diaphysis of the hyaline cartilage
periosteal bud a vascular connective tissue bud from the perichondrium that invades the ossification center of the cartilaginous model of a developing long bone
epiphyseal plate A disc of hyaline cartilage that grows during childhood to lengthen the bone
intramembranous ossification a bone develops from a fibrous membrane and the bone is called a membrane bone
proliferation zone cartilage cells undergo mitosis
growth zone epiphysis-facing side of the stack next to the resting zone comprise the
hypertrophic zone older cartilage cells enlarge
calcification zone matrix calcifies; cartilage cells die; matrix begins deteriorating; blood vessels invade cavity
ossification zone new bone forms
epiphyseal plate closure once this has occurred only the articular cartilage remains in bones.
bone remodeling Process involving bone formation and destruction in repose to hormonal and mechanical factors
osteoid seam An unmineralized band of gauzy - looking bone matrix
bone resorption The removal of osseous tissue part of the continuous bone remodeling process
parathyroid hormone Produced by the parathyroid glands
calcitonin Produced by parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland may be involved
Wolff's law bones grown or remodel in response to demands
nondisplaced fractures The bone ends retain their normal position
displaced fractures The bone ends are out of normal alignment
complete fracture When the bone is broken through the
incomplete fracture When the bone is not broken through
compound fracture When the bone ends penetrate the skin
simple fracture When the bone ends don't penetrate the skin
closed reduction The physicians hands coax the bone ends into position
open reduction The bone ends are secured together surgically with pins or wires
hematoma mass of clotted blood
soft callus Hard skin
osteoporosis bone resorption exceeds deposit Matrix remains normal, but bone mass declines
