Question
Answer
What are the four types of bones?   Long, short, flat, and irregular  
🗑
What do some scientists recognize as an additional category of the types of bones?   Sesamoid, or round, bones  
🗑
Long bone   Longer than it is wider; humerus  
🗑
Short bone   Wider than they are longer; carpals  
🗑
Flat bone   Flatter than they are rounded; frontal bone, skull, pelvis, sternum  
🗑
Irregular bone   Not long, short or flat; vertebrae  
🗑
Diaphysis   Shaft; hallow tube made of hard compact bone; rigid and strong; light enough to move  
🗑
Medullary cavity   Hallow area inside diaphysis; contains soft, yellow bone marrow  
🗑
Yellow bone marrow   An inactive, fatty form of marrow found in adult skeleton  
🗑
Epiphyses   Ends of bone; red marrow fills small spaces in spongy bone  
🗑
Articular cartilage   Think layer of cartilage that covers each epiphysis; acts like small rubber cushion  
🗑
Periosteum   Strong, fibrous membrane; covers long bone everywhere except where there is articular cartilage  
🗑
Endosteum   Thin membrane that lines medullary cavity  
🗑
What does the structure of flat bones consist of?   Compact bone, cancellous bone, and trabeculae  
🗑
Compact bone   Dense; thin layer that surrounds cancellous bone  
🗑
Cancellous bone   Spongy bone or diploe in flat bone; inside of thin layer of compact bone; contains many spaces that may be filled with marrow  
🗑
Trabeculae   Bony portions of spongy bone that surround open spaces; needle-like threads of spongy bone that surround a network of spaces  
🗑
What are the two major types of connective tissue in bones?   Bone and cartilage  
🗑
How is compact bone organized?   Osteons or haversian systems  
🗑
Osteocytes   Mature bone cells that used to be osteoblasts  
🗑
Osteoblasts   Active bone building cells; eventually surround themselves with new bone and become osteocytes located in lacunae  
🗑
Osteoclasts   Bone-resorbing cells  
🗑
Endochondral ossification   Formed in cartilage; many bones of the body are formed from cartilage models  
🗑
Sinuses   Spaces or cavities inside some cranial bones  
🗑
Mastoiditis   Inflammation of air spaces within mastoid portion of temporal bone  
🗑
Fontanels   Areas where ossification is incomplete at birth  
🗑
Epiphyseal fracture   Epiphyseal is separated from diaphysis or epiphysis; can inhibit normal growth  
🗑
Avulsion fracture   Fragment of bone breaks away from entire bone  
🗑
Osteosarcoma   Most common and serious type of malignant bone neoplasm  
🗑
Chondrosarcoma   Cancer of skeletal hyaline cartilage; second most common cancer  
🗑
Osteoporosis   Loss of calcified bone matrix; reduction in number of trabeculae; bones fracture easily  
🗑
Rickets   Loss of bone minerals in the young, before skeletal maturity; gross skeletal changes; treated with vitamin D  
🗑
Osteomalacia   Loss of bone minerals in mature bones; more chances of getting a fracture; treated with vitamin D  
🗑
Paget disease (osteitis deformans)   Faulty remodeling results in bones that fracture easily; genetic or viral  
🗑
Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone)   Bones are brittle due to lack of organic matrix;  
🗑
Osteomyelitis   Bacterial infection  
🗑
Noninflammatory joint disorders   Sinovial membrane does not get inflamed; local symptoms;  
🗑
Osteoarthritis (DJD)   Most common inflammatory disorder of movable joints; "wear and tear arthritis"  
🗑
Inflammatory joint disorders   Arthritis; synovial membrane becomes inflamed; systematic signs and symptoms  
🗑
Rheumatoid arthritis   Systemic autoimmune disease; chronic inflammation of synovial membrane with involvement of other tissues such as blood vessels, eyes, heart, and lungs  
🗑
Gouty arthritis   Synovial inflammation caused by gout, a condition in which sodium urate crystals form in joints and other tissues  
🗑
Infectious arthritis   Arthritis resulting from infection by a pathogen  
🗑
