Marieb chapter 6 flashcards

QuestionAnswer
What are the three areas of a long bone? Epiphysis, Diaphysis, Metaphysis
Why are bones considered an organ? They are living dynamic tissue that responds to its environment. (contain different types of tissues that work together.)
How many bones within the skeletal system? 206 (most of the time)
Major Functions of Bone 1. Support the body 2. Protect soft organs 3. Produce blood cells 4. Store fat and minerals 5. Act as levers for muscles 6. Hormone production
5 types of bone 1. Long 2. Short 3. Flat 4. Irregular 5. Sesamoid
What composes the axial skeleton? Skull, vertebrae, and rib cage
What composes the appendicular skeleton? Limbs, including their girdles (shoulder and hip bones, ie. the joints connecting limbs to the axial skeleton)
Characteristics of Spongy bone -sponge like -space is filled with marrow (red) -built like scaffolding (trabeculae) -found in the middle of a bone (width wise)
Characteristics of Compact bone -looks solid (no visible spaces) - edge of all bones and within shaft of long bones
What do the periosteum and endosteum function as? Connective tissue that provides blood, nerves, attachment points, and bone stem cells.
Where is the periosteum found? Covers the outside of bone
How many layers does the periosteum have? 2 layers: a Fibrous and Osteogenic layer
Where is the endosteum found? lines inner surface of bone
What are the two types of bone marrow? Red and Yellow
Where can each marrow type be found? Red: inside spongy bone Yellow: Medullary cavity and spongy bone
Why are sesamoid bones different to the other types? They contain no periosteum and are enclosed. Found only with tendons or muscles
What are the areas of a long bone? Epiphysis (proximal and distal), Metaphysis, and Diaphysis
What is a nutrient foramen? Small holes within the diaphysis for blood vessels and nerves.
What are the 2 components of bone matrix? Inorganic, and organic
What consists of the inorganic bone matrix? -Hydroxyapatite (calcium and phosphate) -Makes bones hard -2/3 of bone mass
What consists of the organic bone matrix? -Collagen fibers and ground substance -Makes bones strong -1/3 of bone mass
4 bone cell types 1. Osteoprogenitor 2. Osteoblasts 3. Osteocytes 4.Osteoclasts
Why are there two different categories of bone cell types? Osteoclasts are derived from white blood cells. Osteoprogenitor, osteoblasts, and osteocytes are derived from red blood cells.
Which two cells are used for bone remodeling? Osteocytes and Osteoclasts. (they work together to maintain the skeleton.)
Which bone cell type has projections? Osteocytes
Which bone cell can revert back to an osteoprogenitor cell? Osteoblasts
Types of skeleton cartilage Hyaline, Fibrocartilage, and Elastic cartilage
What does the perichondrium do? Acts as a reinforcement to resist outward expansions when the cartilage is compressed.
Which cartilage is most abundant in the skeleton? Hyaline cartilage
Skeletal hyaline cartilages include: Cartilages: -Articular -Costal -Respiratory -Nasal
Where can you find elastic cartilage? Found in outer ears, and epiglottis (flap in throat)
Where is fibrocartilage found? Found in knee and vertebrae
Types of cartilage growth Appositional and Interstitial growth
What is appositional growth? Cartilage forming cells in the perichondrium, that secrete new matrix against the external face of existing cartilage.
What is interstitial growth? Lacunae bound chondrocytes that divide and secrete new matrix. (expanding from within)
What is the different name for Osteon? Haversian system
What comprises an osteon? -central canal -lamellae -lacunae
What is a central canal? Center of osteon, that contains blood vessels and nerves.
What is a lamellae? Concentric rings of matrix (tree rings)
What is lacunae? Chambers that contain osteocytes
What are the types of canals? -central canal -perforating canal -canaliculi
What is a perforating canal? Connect central canals to other blood vessels and nerves, or spongy bone. (large)
What is a canaliculi? Connect lacunae to each other and the central canal. (small) Provides communication and transport between osteocytes.
What does the arrangement of lamellae do? Gives bone strength in multiple directions
What is trabeculae? Small rods in spongy bone. Containing lamellae, osteocytes, and canaliculi.
What other names are associated with spongy bone? Sometimes called trabecular bone, or cancellous bone.
Types of bone ossification Endochondral and Intramembranous ossification
What is an embryonic skeleton? Consists only of fibrous tissue and hyaline cartilage. Bone tissue begins to develop around this time and replaces most of the existing cartilages.
What are the bones ossification types below the base of skull? Endochondral, excluding the clavicle
What are the bones ossification types above the base of skull? Intramembranous, and includes the clavicles!
Formation through Endochondral ossification 1. Bone collar forms 2. Cartilage calcifies 3. Periosteal bud invades 4. Diaphysis elongates 5. Epiphyses ossify
What is the periosteal bud? Contains: -nutrient artery and veins -nerve fibers -red marrow elements -osteoprogenitor -osteoclasts
What is the mesenchymal cell? Cells of embryonic connective tissue
Formation through Intramembranous ossification 1. Ossification centers develop 2. Osteoid is secreted and calcifies 3. Spongy bone and periosteum form 4. Compact bone replaces spongy bone
5 zones of of growth 1. Resting zone 2. Proliferation zone 3. Hypertrophic zone 4. Calcification zone 5. Ossification zone
