Question
Answer
Functions of bone tissue and the skeletal system   Supports, protects, aids in movement, mineral homeostasis, blood cell production, stores fat  
🗑
Long bone   greater in length than width EX: leg and arm  
🗑
Short bones   nearly equal in length and width EX: wrist and ankle  
🗑
Flat bones   thin and flat EX: scapula  
🗑
Irregular bones   complex shapes EX: vertebrae and facial bones  
🗑
Diaphysis   long cylindrical main portion of the bone  
🗑
Epiphysis   distal and proximal ends of the bone  
🗑
Metaphysis   the region where the diaphysis and epiphysis join  
🗑
Epiphyseal plate   growth plate are in growing bone where a layer of hyaline cartilage allows the bone to grow in length.  
🗑
Articular cartilage   thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the part of the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation or joint with another bone. Reduces friction and absorbs shock.  
🗑
Periosteum   dense irregular connective tissue surrounding the bone surface that a) contains bone forming cells which allow the bone to grow in diameter b) protects c) assists in fracture repair d) nourish e) attachment point for tendons and ligaments  
🗑
Medullary cavity   Hollow cylindrical space within the diaphysis that contains fatty yellow bone marrow in adults  
🗑
Endosteum   lines the medullary cavity  
🗑
4 major types of bone cells   osteogenic- cell division; osteoblasts- bone building cells; octeocytes- mature and controlling bone cells; osteoclasts- break down bone and found in the endosteum  
🗑
Compact bone   80%; strongest; diaphysis; arranged in repeating structuralunits called osteons  
🗑
Osteons   rings of hard calcified concentric matrix  
🗑
Spongy bone   20%; short bone; flat bone; irregular bone, epiphysis of long bone, internal medullary cavity; lighter; red bone marrow  
🗑
Growth hormones   hGH (human growth hormones); pituitary gland  
🗑
Partial fracture   incomplete break, crack  
🗑
Complete fracture   bone is broken into 2 or more pieces  
🗑
Closed fracture   does not break through the skin  
🗑
Open fracture   broken ends of the bone protrudes through skin  
🗑
Steps of bone repair   Phagocytes remove dead bone tissue; Chrondroblasts make fibrocartilage at the fracture site to bridge the broken ends; Osteoblasts convert the fibrocartilage to spongy bone tissue; remodeled when osteoclasts remove dead portion and spongy becomes compact  
🗑
Bone stores __% of body's calcium   99  
🗑
___ regulates calcium exchange between blood and bone   PTH (parathyroid hormone)  
🗑
