Question
Answer
show support, protection, assistance in movement, mineral homeostasis, blood cell production, triglyceride storage  
🗑
hemopoiesis   show
🗑
yellow bone marrow   show
🗑
five categories of bones   show
🗑
show S/shaft and two extremities | S/slightly curved for strength | EX/femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, ulna, radius, phalanges  
🗑
short bones   show
🗑
show SF/provide extensive surfaces for muscle attachment | SA/generally thin | EX/cranial bones, sternum, ribs, scapulae  
🗑
show A/complex shapes, not easily categorized | EX/vertebrae, hip bones, certain facial bones, heel bone (calcaneus)  
🗑
show EX/kneecaps; also, tiny bones only a few mm in diameter that develop in certain tendons, esp in palms and soles | F/protect tendons from excessive wear and tear  
🗑
diaphysis   show
🗑
epiphyses   show
🗑
show in long bones, the regions between the diaphysis and the epiphyses; these are the regions where bone growth (in length) takes place  
🗑
show thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the part of the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation with another bone | F/reduces friction and absorbs shock  
🗑
show in long bones, a tough sheath of irregular CT that surrounds the bone surface wherever it is not covered by articular cartilage | CF/contains bone-forming cells that help the bone to grow in thickness  
🗑
medullary cavity   show
🗑
endosteum   show
🗑
ECM of osseous tissue   show
🗑
osteogenic cells   show
🗑
osteoblasts   show
🗑
show the most numerous cells in osseous tissue | F/maintain the daily metabolism of osseous tissue, exchanging nutrients and wastes with the blood  
🗑
show A/very large | C/derived from the fusion of as many as 50 monocytes (a type of WBC) | L/concentrated in the endosteum | F/break down the ECM of osseous tissue -- a process known as resorption, which is part of the normal maintenance and repair of bones  
🗑
two major types of osseous tissue   show
🗑
Volkmann's canals   show
🗑
show aka central canals | in compact bone tissue, canals that run longitudinally -- containing blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves  
🗑
concentric lamellae   show
🗑
show in compact bone tissue, small spaces that contain osteocytes | L/between concentric lamellae  
🗑
osteon   show
🗑
canaliculi   show
🗑
spongy bone tissue   show
🗑
trabeculae   show
🗑
show in long bones, a hole near the center of the diaphysis where the large nutrient artery and nutrient vein enter/exit [note: the femur has several nutrient arteries]  
🗑
show intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification  
🗑
intramembranous ossification   show
🗑
show most bones form this way | steps: dev. of the cartilage model, growth of the cartilage model, dev. of the primary ossification center, dev. of the medullary cavity, dev. of the secondary oss. centers, formation of articular cartilage + epiphyseal plate  
🗑
show in long bones, an area of hyaline cartilage in the metaphysis; responsible for lengthwise bone growth  
🗑
4 zones of the epiphyseal plate   show
🗑
epiphyseal line   show
🗑
show osteoblasts in the inner layer of the periosteum secrete new ECM, creating new lamellae  
🗑
show adequate calcium and phosphorus in diet | vitamins A, C, B12, D, K in diet | hormones | weight-bearing exercise  
🗑
show in children, insulinlike growth factors (IGFs) | in adolescents, estrogens and androgens | estrogens tend to stop lengthwise growth of long bones; this is one mechanism that accounts for women's shorter average height  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
