Functions, structure, histology, blood to bone, formation, growth, homeostasis,
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| List 7 basic functions of the skeletal system. | Support, protect, assistance in movement, mineral homeostasis, blood cell production, and triglyceride storage. |
| The component of a long bone that stores energy is the: | Marrow |
| The epiphyseal growth plates(s), seen only in a growing bone, consist of: | Hyaline cartilage |
| This thin line is the remnant of the epiphyseal growth plate when a long bone ceases to grow in length: | Epiphyseal line |
| What are the correct percentages of compact and spongy bone tissue in the skeleton? | 80% compact bone and 20% spongy bone |
| How are osteons in compact bone tissue aligned? | Along lines of stress |
| Which zone of cartilage anchors the growth plate to the epiphysis? | Zone of resting cartilage |
| The renewal rate for compact bone tissue is: | 4% per year |
| This type of fracture is considered a partial fracture and is usually seen in children. | Greenstick |
| The stage of bone repair that follows the formation of the fracture hematoma is: | Formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus |
| What is the effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone? | Stimulates osteoclasts to dissolve bone, releasing calcium |
| What are the two principal effects of aging on bone? | Demineralization and brittleness |
| What is the role of red bone marrow? | To produce red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets |
| The region of a long bone that is covered with articular cartilage where the bone articulates with another bone at a synovial joint is the: | Epiphysis |
| The anatomical name for the shaft of a long bone is: | Diaphysis |
| The thin layer of tissue covering the ends of bones in a synovial joint to reduce friction between them is the: | Articular cartilage |
| The layer of hyaline cartilage that allows a long bone to grow in length is called the: | Epiphyseal plate |
| This is the region in mature bone between the diaphysis and the epiphysis: | Metaphysis |
| This is a lining found on bone that promotes bone growth in width: | Periosteum |
| The dense, irregular connective tissue that covers bone, except at its articular surface, is called: | Periosteum |
| Which is the correct order of maturation, from unspecialized to specialized? | Osteogenic, osteoblast, osteocyte |
| The bone-building cells? | Osteoblasts |
| The mature bone cells that maintain the health of bones? | Osteocytes |
| The bone-dissolving cells? | Osteoclasts |
| Which bone cells originate from the fusion of white blood cells called monocytes? | Osteoclasts |
| Where are osteons found? | Compact bone |
| Which of the following structures in compact bone contains osteocytes? | Lacunae |
| These are extensions of the lacunae in compact bone, and are filled with extracellular fluid. | Canaliculi |
| Where is spongy bone mostly found in a long bone? | In the epiphysis |
| The mechanism by which a long bone grows in width is called: | Appositional growth |
| Where does appositional bone growth occur? | Within the periosteum |
| Bone remodeling involves: | Bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone deposition by osteoblasts |
| Besides calcium, which of the following minerals is needed when bones are growing? | Phosphorus |
| During childhood, which of the following hormones is most important to bone growth? | Growth hormone |
| During development, which of the following cause a dramatic effect on bone growth? | Sex hormones |
| About 25% of all stress fractures involve which bone? | Tibia |
| Space within the shaft of the bone that contains yellow bone marrow | Articular cartilage |
| Triglyceride storage tissue | Yellow bone marrow |
| Hemopoietic tissue | Red bone marrow |
| Membrane lining the medullary cavity in a bone | Endosteum |
| Bundles of collagen fibres that attach periosteum to bone | Perforating (sharpey's) fibres |
| This decreases blood calcium levels by accelerating calcium deposition in bones and inhibiting osteoclast | Calcitonin (CT) |
| This is required for collagen synthesis | Vitamin c |
| Required for protein synthesis in Bones | Vitamin k |
| Active form of vitamin D;raises blood calcium levels by increasing absorption of calcium from digestive tract | Calcitriol |
| This raises blood calcium levels by increasing bone reabsorption | Parathyroid hormone (PTH) |
| Column like layer of mature chondrocytes is which cartilage zone | Zone of hypertrophic cartilage |
| Layer of small, scattered chondrocytes incurring the epiphyseal plate of the bone. Which cartilage zone is this? | Zone of resting cartilage |
| Leader of actively dividing chondrocytes. Which cartilage zone is this? | Zone of peroliferating cartilage |
| Region of dead chondrocytes. Which cartilage zone is this? | Zone of calcified cartilage |
| A broken bone in which one end of the fractured bone is driven into the other end | Impacted fracture |
| Splintered bone with smaller fragments line between main fragments | Comminuted fracture |
| An infection of the bone | Osteomyelitis |
| A condition characterized by failure of new bone formed by remodeling to calcify in adults | Osteomalacia |
| Small space between lamellae that contains osteocytes | |
| Lacunae | |
| Perforating canals that penetrate compact bone; carry blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves from the periosteum | Volkmann's canals |
| Areas between osteons; fragments of old osteons | Interstitial lamellae |
| Microscopic unit of compact bone tissue | Osteon (haversian system) |
| Canal's that extend longitudinally through the bone and connect blood vessels and nerves to the osteocytes | Haversian (Central canals) |
| Irregular lattice of thin columns of bone found in spongy bone tissue | Trabeculae |
| Rings of hard calcified matrix founded just beneath the periosteum and in the medullary cavity | Circumferential lamellae |
| Unspecialized stem cells derived from mesenchyme | Osteogenic cells |
| Bone growth in length is called | Interstitial growth |
