|
|
what are two examples of a long bone?
|
femur and humerus
|
|
|
what are two examples of a short 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 |
