Week 5 - Skeleton

Chapters 11, 12, & 13 - Assignment 1

QuestionAnswer
What are the 5 functions of bones? 1. Support 2. Protection 3. Movement 4. Mineral storage 5. Hematopoiesis.
What is Hematopoiesis? Blood cell formation which occurs because of red bone marrow (myeloid tissue). Myeloid tissue is found at epiphyses (ends) of long bones or in flat bones.
Define Compact Bone Dense/Solid
Define Cancellous Bone Open space with a network of thin/branched crossbeams. AKA spongy bone or trabecular bone.
What are the fie shapes of bones? 1. Long 2. Short 3. Flat 4. Irregular 5. Sesamoid
What are the structures of a long bone? 1. Diaphysis 2. Epiphysis 3. Articular Cartilage 4. Periosteum 5. Medullary Cavity 6. Endosteum
Define Periosteum Dense white fibrous membrane that covers bones. Does not apply to joints.
Define Articular Cartilage Thin layer of hyaline cartilage that covers epiphysis. Cushion.
Define Epiphysis Proximal and distal ends. Cancellous with red marrow.
Define Diaphysis Main shaft. Hollow and thick compact.
Define Medullary Cavity The hollow area in the Diaphysis of the long bone. In adults filled with yellow marrow which is dense with fat.
Define Endosteum Thin, fibrous membrane that lines the medullary cavity. Also lines spaces of spongy bone.
What are the structures of a flat bone and what are they made of? 1. Internal table - compact bone 2. External table - compact bone 3. Diploe - cancellous bone
