Osteon (Bone Cell)

Delivers nutrients to and removes wasteproducts from bone cells.




A central canal and its lamellae together.

Epiphyseal Plate

Made up of hyaline cartilage and separates the marrow spaces of the epiphysis and diaphysis to show the point of growth.

Bone Marrow

Soft tissue that occupies the marrow cavity of a long bone.

Spongy Bone

Consist of a lattice of delicate fibers called spicules (rods or spines) and trabeculae (thin plates).

Compact Bone

Dense white outer shell of osseous tissue on the outside of the bone. It encloses the marrow cavity.

Articular Cartilage

The joint surface where one bone meets another and is covered in a thin layer of hyaline cartilage.

Bone Cells

Osteogenic, Osteoblasts, Osteocytes, and Osteoclasts

Medullary Cavity

A hollow-like canal in the bone shaft that contains bone marrow.

Red Bone Marrow

Produce blood cells and considered an organ unto itself.

Yellow Bone Marrow

Fatty tissue - no longer produce blood, but can be transformed to do that again if needed.

Diploe

The spongy layer of bone in the cranium within the flat bones. Absorbs shock in case of head trauma.

Periosteum

Covers the outside of the bone and contains an osteogenic layer that is important for bone growth

Endosteum

Thin layer of reticular connective tissue that lines the internal marrow cavity and canal system.

Bone Matrix

Made up of collagen, protein/carbohydrate complexes, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins.


Hydrocyapatite (crystallized calcium phosphate salt), calcium carbonate.

Intramembranous Ossification

Produces flat bones and most of the clavicle. Plays a role in thickening and remodeling long bones.

Endrochondrial Ossification

Process in which bones develop from a preexisting model composed of hyaline cartilage. Most bones develop this way.

Canaliculi

Ultra small canals radiating in all directions from the lacunae

Lamellae

Cylinder shaped layers of calcified matrix around the central canal

Skeletal Muscle

Striated and intercalated disks

Lacunae

The small spaces in the matrix that contain the bone cells.

Osseous Tissue

A connective tissue in which the matrix is hardened by the deposition of calcium phosphate called calcification.

Collagen Fibers

Enhance the strength of the bones

Perforating Canals

Central canals are joined by these : transverse or diagonal passages.

Osteoblasts

Bone formation.

Osteoclasts

Bone break-down.

Trabeculae

Makes up spongy bone, consists of small needle like pieces of bone

Haversian (Central) Canals

Contains blood vessels and nerves, connected to each other via Volkmann's canals which travel perpendicular to these, run vertically

Volkmann (Perforated) Canals

Perpendicular to Haversian Canals, run transversely

Interstitial Growth

Growth from the inside.

Appositional Growth

Growth from the outside.

Mesenchyme

Embryonic connective tissue and what bones are derived from.

Sprain

Ligament injury when the ligament is stretched beyond its capacity

Glenoid Labrum

Fibrocartilaginous rim attached to margin of glenoid cavity or acetabulum that increases the concavity

Inorganic Salts

Calcium, phosphate, carbonates

Organic Parts

Collagen and various protein carbohydrate complexes such as glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and glycoproteins

Mineral resorption

Process of dissolving bone and releasing the products into the blood

Parathyroid hormone

Can stimulate osteoclast activity to maintain adequate blood calcium levels

Calcitonin

Produced in response to high blood calcium levels and stimulates bone deposition by osteoblasts

Seratonin

Inhibits osteoblast activity, increases blood calcium

Bursa

Fibrous sac filled with synovial fluid, located between adjacent muscles or where tendon passed over a bone

Menisci

FibrocarIlaginous pads found in synovial joints for shock absorption.

Hyaline

The most abundant type of carIlage

Synovial Fluid

Lubricant rich in the protein albumin and hyaluronic acid used for reduced friction.

Joint Capsule

Defined as a sleevelike extension of the periosteum

Annular Ligament

Does not support vertebral joints.

"Slipped Disk"

DeterioraIon of the nucleus pulposus.

Fracture Hematoma

The first step in healing a fracture

Sesamoid

Type of bone is usually found in a tendon

Proliferating Zone

The 2nd layer of bone formation

Ligament

Defined as a strong cord of dense, white fibrous connective tissue (bone to bone)

Tendon

A strip of tough collagenous connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone.

Thyroid Hormone (TH)

Stimulates osteoblast and inhibits osteoclast

d

d

Tendon Sheath

An elongated bursa surrounding a tendon

MUSCLES..............

MUSCLES...............

Myofibril

Thread-like proteins that make up muscle fibers

Sarcolemma

Unique name for the plasma membrane of a muscle fiber.

Fascicles

Bundle of muscle fibers.

Perimysium

Connective tissue around each muscle fascicles

Epimysium

Connective tissue that surrounds entire skeletal muscle on the outside

Myofilament

Proteins that make up myofibrils (ex: actin & myosin)

Endomysium

Connective tissue surrounding each muscle fiber

Actin

Thin myofilament; described as a globular protein strung together like beads to form two intertwined strands

Myosin

Thick myofilament; proteins found in myofilaments contains the cross-bridges

Troponin

After it is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the calcium combines with which protein

Tropomyosin

Protein that directly prevents the formation of cross-bridges in the sarcomere

Acetylcholine

Neurotransmitter(s) secreted at the motor end plates of skeletal muscles

d

d

T-tubules

Allow for electrical signals to move deeper into the cell.
