list the 4 main functions of the bones (Fat Pigs Love Soup & Pasta) framework for body, protect brain & spinal cord, levers to produce movement, store calcium salts, and produce blood cells (in red marrow)
T/F Bones work with "muscles" to produce movement at the "joints" true

which skeleton includes the bones of the "head" and "torso"? axial
which skeleton includes the bones of the "extremities"? appendicular
this type of bone makes up most of the "appendicular" skeleton long bone

"cavity" at the center of the diaphysis, "contains bone marrow" medullary cavity
the end of a long bone, has two irregular ends "proximal" and "distal" ? epiphysis
T/F Bones are "living organs" with their own systems of blood vessels and nerves true
the bulk of each bone is composed of "bone tissue" known as osseous tissue
T/F osseous tissue is the hardest form of connective tissue true
build bone tissue, "Blasts Build" osteoblasts
"mature" bone cells, maintain bone tissue osteocytes
"white blood cell" known as (mnemonic) monocyte
bone's hardness and strength reflect the components of what? (material between living bone cells) matrix
is hard and long bone and the "outer" layer of other bones compact bone
channel "in the center" of an osteon of compact bone, channel "in the center" of the spinal cord that contains CSF. central canal, haversian canal
osteocytes live in "spaces" called? lacunae
the matrix (material between the living bone cells) is rich in the protein _____ and _____ collagen, calcium salts
what two substances are necessary for healthy bones? minerals, collagen
without _____ bones would bend easily, but without _____ bones would shatter easily. minerals, collagen
form channels across the bone from one side of the shaft to the other, permitting the passage of blood vessels and nerves (Volkmann) perforating canals
subunit of compact bone, consisting of concentric rings of bone tissue around a central channel (haversian system) osteon
known as "cancellous bone" has more spaces than compact bone spongy bone
made of meshwork of small, bony plates filled with "red marrow" spongy bone
found at the epiphyses (ends) of long bones and at the center of other bones spongy bone
T/F Spongy bone lines the medullary cavity of long bones true
____ bone marrow "manufactures" "blood cells" red
____ marrow is found in "central cavities" of "long bones" yellow
____ marrow is composed largely of "fat" yellow
bones are covered (except at the joint region) by a membrane called the ? composed of dense irregular connective tissue periosteum
This membranes inner layer contains osteoblasts that build bone tissue and osteoclasts that break down bone tissue periosteum
the conversion of cartilage to bone is known as ? ossification
the _____ bones of the skull and other regions develop from (dense, irregular connective) tissue membranes instead of from cartilage. ______ deposit bone tissue within these fibrous membranes Flat, osteoblasts
the anterior fontanel usually does not close until a child is how old? 18 months
"soft spots" fontanels
the process of bone formation begins in the earliest weeks of ______ life and continues into adulthood. embryonic
primitive bone tissue is also known as woven bone
the axial skeleton consist of how many bones? the appendicular consists of how many bones? totaling? 80 bones, 126 bones, 206 bones
secondary bone-forming centers, develop across the ends of the bones epiphyseal plates
thinner membrane, lines the bones marrow cavity, contains osteoblasts and osteoclasts endosteum
what two sex hormones contribute to bone growth and maintenance? estrogen and testosterone
consumed through diet, produced by the skin, promotes calcium absorption from the intestine vitamin D
projection that's rounded, "knob-like" end head
"large" projection of a bone process
"rounded" projection condyle
"sharp" projection from the surface of a bone (shoulder blade) spine
a "hole" that allows vessels or nerves to pass through or between bones foramen
a "cavity" or "hollow" space (most commonly, an air-filled chamber found in some skull bones) sinus
a "depression" on a bone surface fossa
a short channel or "passageway", usually the external opening of a canal (example, is the channel in the skull that leads to the inner ear) meatus
the name of the cell that is a "bone-forming cell" osteoblasts
the name of the cell that "resorbs" bone cell is osteoclasts
the name of a "mature" bone cell is osteocytes
the protein that is part of the matrix of bone is collagen
the end of a long bone is the epiphysis
