Question
Answer
Bones   Calcified Connective Tissue Cells (osteocytes) in a matrix of ground substances and collagen fibers Reservoir for Calcium and Phosphorus Act as levelers on which muscles act to produce movement permitted by joints Contain marrow  
🗑
Bones classification   According to shape:long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid According to developmental history: endochondral and membranous  
🗑
Bone marrow   internal soft tissue where blood cells are formed  
🗑
Long Bones   Develop by Endochondral Ossification (replacement of hyaline cartilage plate) Parts: Diaphysis (shaft), Epiphyses (2 ends)& Metaphysis (part where diaphysis is adjacent to the epuphyses)  
🗑
Long Bones Examples   humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula, metacarpals, & phalanges  
🗑
Diaphysis (Long Bones)   shaft (central region) Composed of thick tube of compact bone enclosing marrow cavity  
🗑
Metaphysis (Long Bones)   part of diaphysis Growth zone between diaphysis and epiphyses during bone development  
🗑
Epiphyses (Long Bones)   Expanded articular ends Composed of Spongy bone and surrounded by thin layer of Compact bone  
🗑
Short Bones   Composed of Spongy bone and Marrow Surrounded by thin outer layer of Compact bone  
🗑
Sort Bones Examples   Carpal & Tarsal bones (Cuboid Shaped)  
🗑
Flat Bones   Two layers of Compact bone enclosing Spongy bone and Marrow space Have articular surface covered with Fibrocartilage Grow by replacement of Connective Tissue  
🗑
Flat Bones Examples   Ribs, Sternum, Scapulae, Vault of Skull Bones  
🗑
Irregular Bones   Mostly Spongy bone enveloped by thin layer of Compact bone  
🗑
Irregular Bones Examples   Bones of mixed shapes ex. bones of skull, vertebrae and coxa  
🗑
Sasamoid Bones   Develop in certain tendons and reduce friction on the tendon (protect from excessive wear)  
🗑
Sesamoid Bones Examples   Found where tendons cross the ends of long bones in the limbs, as the wrist and knee (ex. patella)  
🗑
OSTEOBLAST   Synthesizes new bob  
🗑
OSTEOCLAST   Resorption= break down bone matrix and release calcium and minerals Remodeling of bone  
🗑
PARATHYROID HORMONE   mobilization of calcium by promoting bone resorption  
🗑
CALCITONIN   suppresses mobilization of calcium from bone  
🗑
OSTEOID   organic matrix of bone prior calcification  
🗑
OSTEOMALACIA   gradual softening of the bone due to failure of bone to calcify due to lack of Vit. D or renal tubular dysfunction  
🗑
OSTEOPENIA   decreased calcification of bone or reduced bone mass due to inadequate osteoid synthesis  
🗑
OSTEOPOROSIS   age-related disorder decreased bone mass and increased susceptibility to fractures of the hip, vertebra, and wrist Bone resorption outpaces bone formation Signs: vertebral compression, loss of body height, development of kyphosis, & hip fracture  
🗑
OSTEOPETROSIS   abnormally dense bone, obliterating the marrow cavity Due to defective resportion of immature bone  
🗑
