        Help!  

Question
Answer
Entire framework of bones and their cartilages, and ligaments   skeletal system  
🗑
New bone tissue is made by   ostoblasts  
🗑
Resorption of old bone tissue by   osteoclasts  
🗑
The study of bone structure and the treatment of bone disorders   osteology  
🗑
6 functions of the skeletal system   1. support 2.protection of internal organs 3.movement 4.mineral homeostasis 5.hemopoiesis 6.storage of fat  
🗑
7 bone structures   1.epiphysis 2.metaphysis 3.diaphysis 4.articular cartilage 5.periosteum 6.medullary cavity 7.endosteum  
🗑
Epiphysis   ends of a long bone (proximal or distal)  
🗑
Metaphysis   where diaphysis and epiphysis meet (growth plate)  
🗑
Diaphysis   shaft/body  
🗑
Articular cartilage   thin layer of hyaline that reduces friction and absorbs shock  
🗑
Periosteum   tough connective tissue covering outside of bone  
🗑
Meduallary cavity   fat/yellow marrow lightens weight of bone  
🗑
Endosteum   thin membranous inner lining of meduallary cavity  
🗑
Sharpey's perforating fibers   holds the periosteum on (Velcro)  
🗑
The first hole in the bone where the first artery came out of while in the womb   nutrient foramina  
🗑
Mineral salts   deposited in extracellular matrix (hydroxyapatite)  
🗑
Calcification   hardness of bone (child to adult)  
🗑
Flexibility   depends of collagen fibers  
🗑
Osteoclasts   break bone down  
🗑
3 types of bone cells   1.osteoblasts (immature cell, secrete osteoid) 2.osteocytes (mature cells, maintain hardened bone) 3.osteoclasts (release calcium)  
🗑
Compact bone   dense along diaphysis and at epiphysis  
🗑
Spongy bone   lightweight provides support and only at the ends of bone  
🗑
What makes up compact (cortical) bone?   80% of sketeton 1.osteon 2.central canal 3.concentric lamellae 4.lacunae 5.canaliculi  
🗑
Osteon   "tree" structural units of bone  
🗑
Central canal   contains artery and vein  
🗑
Concentric lamellae   circular rings of matrix  
🗑
Lacunae   "little lakes" where osteocytes live  
🗑
Canaliculi   "small channels" how osteocytes breathe, eat, and connect  
🗑
Spongy (trabecular) bone   20% of skeleton no osteons always inside bone oriented along stress lines to transfer force  
🗑
Trabeculae   thin columns of bone  
🗑
Fills spaces between trabeculae in blood producing bones   red marrow  
🗑
Fills spaces between trabeculae in all other bones (adipose tissue)   yellow marrow  
🗑
When long bone stops growing after puberty and are visible on x-rays   epiphyseal lines  
🗑
Stages of fracture   1.bleeding forms a clot 2.callus (young bone) 3.remodeling  
🗑
Disorganized, immature woven bone   calluses  
🗑
Homeostasis is maintained by   calcitonin and parathyroid hormone (PTH)  
🗑
Puts the bone in (blast)   calcitonin  
🗑
Takes bone out (clast)   parathyroid hormone (PTH)  
🗑
How long does it take to loose one-third of bone mass because of inactivity?   3 weeks  
🗑
Bones become thinner and weaker with age (30-40)   osteopenia  
🗑
Severe bone loss   osteoporosis  
🗑
Open (compound) fracture   complete break where some of the bone is out of the skin  
🗑
Comminuted   complete break that fragments the body  
🗑
Greenstick   incomplete break that occurs on the convex surface of the bone  
🗑
Impacted   occurs at an angle  
🗑
