🗑
Papillary Layer   Loose CT; bring blood vessels close to epiderm; form foot and finger prints  
🗑

🗑
Cancellous Bone   Evenly stands forces exerted on it; Trabeculae osteocytes in lacunae; matrix forms lamella rings; lacunae present in lamella  
🗑
Compact Bone   Stands forces from single direction; matrix forms lamella rings, air pockets (lacunae) in lamella, osteon osteocytes in lacunae; large Central Haversian Canals in center  
🗑
Diaphysis   Shaft of bone; primarily compact bone; major BC producer; marrow cavity found here  
🗑
Epiphysis   End of bone; growth phase independent from diaphysis; primarily cancellous  
🗑
Metaphysis   Portion between Dia and Epi; cartilagenous in children and adolescents  
🗑
Periostem   CT that lines the outside of a bone; fibrous; high # BC; makes complete lining  
🗑
Endostem   Inner lining covering only parts of the cavity; found in bones with hollow interior  
🗑
Osteocytes   Mature bone cells that maintain matrix and are surrounded by bony matrix  
🗑
Osteoblasts   Active in producing matrix; surrounds itself then matures into an osteocyte; found on outer region of osteon/trabecula; widens bone structure  
🗑
Osteoclasts   Involved in breaking down bone matrix to release mineral components; important for maintenance; may lead to osteoporosis  
🗑
Cartilage   CT; Hyalin serves as template for forming bones; collagen fibers add flexibility  
🗑
Bone Matrix   Solid material of cartilage composed of collagen and proteoglycan  
🗑
Proteoglycan   Mix of carbs and protiens (binds a lot of water)  
🗑
Major Mineral Components of Bone   Hydroxy Apatite*, Calcium Phosphate, Calcium Hydroxide  
🗑
Lacunae   Openings in the cartilage where chondrocytes (cart cells) are contained  
🗑
Endochondral Ossification   Cart built first, then replaced by bone; most common ossification process  
🗑
Intramembranous Ossification   Mesenchyme replaced directly by bone-no cart needed; found in cranium  
🗑
Appositional Growth   Growth in diameter of a long bone; Osteoblasts build matrix around existing vessels  
🗑
Fibrous Joint   2 joints connected by fibrous tissue; no cavity; little/no movement  
🗑
Suture   FJ of the skull bones; dense regular collagenous CT  
🗑
Syndesmoses   FJ in which 2 bones are connected by ligaments; some movement  
🗑
Gomphoses   FJ; 2 pegs held in place within a socket by FT  
🗑
Cartilaginous Joint   A joint that unties 2 bones by means of hyaline or fibrocartilage  
🗑
Synchondroses   CRJ; 2 bones joined by hyaline cart; little or no movement (ex:ilium, ischium, pubis)  
🗑
Symphyses   CRJ; fibrocart unites 2 bones (ex:maubrium and body of sternum)  
🗑
Synovial Joint   Freely moveable joints that contain a fluid in a cavity that surrounds the ends of the articulating bones  
🗑
Fascia   Surrounds individual muscles/muscle groups  
🗑
Epimysium   Dense collagenous CT that surrounds muscle; layer beneath fascia  
🗑
Perimysium   CT that surrounds fasicle  
🗑
Endomysium   CT that surrounds muscle fibers; reticular fibers  
🗑
Myofibrils   Inside fibers; form during embryogenesis; 100's-1000's nuclei; composed of sarcomeres  
🗑
Sarcomere   Extends from Z disc to Z disc in a myofibril  
🗑
Sarcolemma   Plasma membrane of a muscle fiber;  
🗑
Sarcoplasm   Cytoplasm without the myofibrils  
🗑
Myofilaments   Actin and Myosin  
🗑
Troponin   Attached along actin and has Ca++ binding cite; pulls Tropomyosin away from active cites on actin when Ca++ attaches to it  
🗑
Tropomyosin   Covers active cites on actin; pulled away by troponin when Ca++ attaches to troponin  
🗑

🗑
Slow Twitch Muscle Fiber   More myoglobin and mitochondria; keeps going through aerobic resp; endurance; smaller fibers  
🗑
