Question
Answer
________ occucrs within the marrow caviites of the bones   hematopoiesis (blood cell formation)  
🗑
compact bone also called lamellar bone   dense outer layer that is smooth to the naked eye  
🗑
spongy bone   internal honeycomb of trabeculae filled with red or yellow marrow  
🗑
long bones consist of _______ and ______   diaphysis and epiphysis  
🗑
diaphysis   tubular shaft that forms the axis of long bones; composed of compact bone that surrounds the medullary cavity  
🗑
yellow bone marrow   (fat) contained in the medullary cavity  
🗑
epiphysis   expanded ends of the long bones; exterior is compact bone and interior is spongy bone  
🗑
joint surface   covered with articular (hyaline) cartilage  
🗑
epiphyseal line   separates the diaphysis from the epiphysis  
🗑
osteoblasts   bone forming cells  
🗑
osteocytes   mature bone cells  
🗑
osteoclasts   large cells that resorb or break down bone matrix  
🗑
mesenchyme --> osteoblast --> osteocyte --> osseous (bone) --> compact and spongy bone   osteogenic cells - develops into an osteoblast; osteoblast - forms bone matrix; osteocyte - maintains bone tissue; osteoclast- functions in resorption, teh breakdown of bone matrix.  
🗑
periosteum   part of bone memebrane that is double layered protective membrane covers all but joint surfaces in long bones;  
🗑
inner osteogenic layer   located on periosteum. composed of osteoblasts and osteoclasts  
🗑
sharpey's fibers (collagen)   secures the periosteum to the underlying bone  
🗑
endosteum   delicate membrane covering internal surfaces of bone  
🗑
short, irregular and flat bones   no diaphysis or epiphysis. contain bone marrow b/w the trabeculae, but no marrow cavity like long bone.  
🗑
osteon or haversian system   structural unit of compact bone  
🗑
osteon   little hollow weight-bearing pillars placed next to each other in compact bone  
🗑
lamella   osteons contain lamella that contain collagen fibers giving compact bone its tensile strength.  
🗑
collagen fibers   solubal gelatin white fibers of cross linked connective tissue; collagen fibers in adjacent lamella run in opposite direction to allow bone to withstand torsion. it gives the bones its tensile strength and allow bone to resist stretch and twisting  
🗑
haversian canal   central canal containing blood vessels  
🗑
volkmann's canals   channels lying at the right angles to the central canal, connecting blood supply of the periosteum to that of teh haversian canal. direct communication with medulla provided by blood vessels in volkmann's canal  
🗑
chemical composition of bone   organic 35% (osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, osteoid). inorganic 65% (calcium phosphate crystals and other mineral salts)  
🗑
osteiod   consists of ground substance and collagen fibers made by osteoblasts.  
🗑
calcium phosphate crystals   responsible for bone hardness and its resistance to compression  
🗑
skeletal cartilages   contain no blood vessels or nerves  
🗑
3 types of skeltal cartilages   hyaline, fibrocartilage, and elastic. all 3 types contain cells called chondrocytes encased in lacunae containing ground substances  
🗑
hyaline cartilage   most abundant skeletal cartilage. present in articular, costal, respiratory, and nasal cartilages  
🗑
elastic cartilage   similar to hyaline but contains elastic fibers. found in external ear and epiglottis  
🗑
fibrocartilage   highly compressed with great tensile strength. contains collagen fibers. found in menisci of the knee and in intervertebral discs  
🗑
remodeling units   osteoblasts and osteoclasts. involves bone deposition and bone resorption. occurs at the surface of periosteum and endosteum  
🗑
