A&P- Chapter 6

QuestionAnswer
Sutural bones Small, flat, odd shapes Ex) skull
Irregular bones Complex shapes, notched Ex) vertebrae
Short bones Boxlike Ex) Carpal bones
Flat bones Flat with parallel surfaces Ex) sternum, parietal bone
Long bones Shaft with two ends Ex) Humerus
Sesamoid bones Small, round Ex) patella
Compact bone Solid bone on surface; found where bones experience stress in limited directions
Spongy bone Open network of struts and plates that make up bone interior; found where bones experience stress in many directions.
Diaphysis Shaft with layer of compact bone
Epiphysis Expanded area at each end
Metaphysis Zone connects diaphysis and epiphysis
Flat bone example Two layers of compact bone surround spongy bone
Hydroxyapatite crystals Hard and inflexible; withstand compression (not bending) Ex) concrete
Collagen fibers Flexible and strong; withstands bending (not compression) Ex) Rebar fibers inside concrete
Osteocytes Mature cells in lacunae (chambers); receive nutrient from canaliculi; bone repair
Osteoblast - produce new matrix via uptake of calcium and phosphate - develop into osteocytes after surrounded by matrix
Ossification producing new matrix
Osteogenic cells - Differentiate into osteoblasts after bone damage
Osteoclasts - large multinucleate cells - Dissolve matrix via release of calcium and phosphate
Osteolysis Dissolve matrix
What is the functional unit of the bone? Osteon which contains central canal and blood vessels
What are the three different kinds of lamellae within the bone? What do they mean? Concentric: Each individual circle within osteon Interstitial: Individual broken up osteons that are not circles Circumferential: All along outside of the bone
Characteristics of spongy bone structure: - no osteons - composed of struts/plates - canaliculi
Periosteum Outer layer around the bone - vascularized/innervated with fibrous and cellular layers - functions as barrier
Endosteum Lines canals and covers trabeculae - functions in bone growth, bone repair, and remodeling
Ossification Bone formation caused by clarification of tissues.
Endochondral ossification definition: Bone replaces cartilage
Steps of endochondral ossification: 1. begin with cartilage 2. blood vessel grow close to bone 3. vessels move into center (forms primary ossification centers) 4. begins producing Ca and forms medullary cavity 5. forms secondary ossification centers on ends, ridge formation
Epiphyseal line Ridge formation once osteocytes win within endochondral ossification
Intramembranous ossification Bone develops from embryonic connective tissue
How does bone remodeling happen? Components of bone are recycled and renewed; involves osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts
What hormones can effect your calcium levels? Calcitriol, calcitonin, growth hormone
Bone repair involves formation of: Fracture hematoma, callus, spongy bone, and compact bone

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
