What are the four main functions of the bone?
1.support/attachment of muscles to organs
2.protection
3.manufacture blood cells
4.storehouse for calcium and phosphorus salts
What are the two divisions of the skeleton?
axial and apandicular
What are the five shapes of bones?
1.long bones
2.short bones
3.flat bones
4.irregular bones
5.sesamoid bones
what are two examples of a long bone?
femur and humerus
what are two examples of a short bone?
carpals and tarsals
what are three examples of a flat bone?
ribs, cranium, and sternum
what are three examples of an irregular bone?
vertebrae, scapula, and patella
what are two examples of a sesamoid bone?
patella and pisiform
what do you call bone cells?
osteocytes
what gives a bone its rigidity?
calcium and phosphorus
what is bone made of and how does it differ from cartilage?
made from matrix and it differs because of the blood vessels it has that cartilage does not.
what is wolff's law?
bones will form in direct relationship to the stress placed upon them.
what are the two types of bone tissue?
compact bone and "spongy bone"
what is another word for spongy bone?
cancellous bone
which is the stronger bone tissue? compact or spongy?
compact
what shape does the compact bone formed in? where is it found?
formed in concentric circles and found on the outside of all bones and on our shafts
in a compact bone, what are the small canals of the bone connected to? what do they do?
haversian canals, theydeliver nutrition
which bone tissue is weaker and lighter? compact or spongy?
spongy
which bone tissue contains red marrow? compact or spongy?
spongy
where do you find spongy bone?
in the end of long bones and inside flat bones.
the matrix of the spongy bone are in long columns. what are these columns called?
trabeculae
trabeculae are laid down in certain patterns? why? what are these patterns called?
to adapt to the stress that the bone undergoes.
trabelcular trajectories
What are the seven structures of the long bone?
1.epiphysis
2.diphysis
3.medullary cavity
4.periosteum
5.sharpey's fibers
6.nutrient foramen
7.volkman's canals
Every Day My Prince Sends New Violets
what is the epiphysis? what bone tissue covers it with a thin wall? what bone tissue fills the inside?
1.enlarged end of bone
2.compact bone
3.spongy bone
what is the diaphysis? is the compact bone covering thick or thin? how much spongy bone on the inside?
1.the shaft of the long bone
2.thick
3.none/very little
what is the medullary cavity? what kind of marrow does it contain? what is this marrow?
1.the hollow area in the middle of the shaft. (diaphysis)
2.yellow
3.fat
What is the periosteum? what is it made of? what does it do?
1.it is the covering of the bones where articular cartilage occurs.
2.dense irregular CT
3.carries blood vessels
what do sharpey's fibers do? what sort of fibers are they composed of?
1.attach periosteum, ligaments, and tendons to the bone.
2.collagen fibers that are embedded in the matrix.
what is the nutrient foramen? what does it do?
1.holes in the compact bone that are visible with naked eye.
2.connects the blood vessels from the periosteum with the medullary cavity.
what are the volkman's canals? what do they do?
1.small holes that penetrate the compact bone.
2.connects the blood vessels from the periosteum to the haversian canal.
what is ossification?
the laying down of mineral salts upon an organic matrix, which forms bone.
what are the two types of ossification?
entramembranous(EM) and endochondral(EC)
what are the four steps of EM ossification?
1.tough fibrous membrane appears
2.ossification is formed within the membranes
3.occurs around the outside of the bone
4.bone on the inside is reabsorbed
what type of cartilage appears first in EC? what replaces the ground substance of this cartilage?
1.hyaline
2.calcium salts
what type of bones are formed through EC?
long bones
what is the primary center of ossification in EC? EDMPSNV?
diaphysis
when EC happens, what direction does it ossify? outward or inward? up, down, left, right?
1.outward
2.all directions
in EC, what is the secondary center of ossification? EDMPSNV?
epiphysis
where do the primary and secondary centers of ossification meet?
epiphyseal plates/growth plates
