What accounts for almost 2/3 of bone weight?
Inorganic minerals
About 1/3 of bone weight consists of what?
Collagen fibers

Central shaft of bone
What does the nutrient foramen consist of?
nutrient artery and vein
What is epihysis?
Ends of long bone, at either end of diaphysis
What is the cartilaginous region betwen epihysis and diaphysis?
Epiphyseal plate
What is the region of Calcification between diaphysis and epiphyses?
metaphysis
hyaline cartilage th covers articular surfaces of epiphyses
articular cartilage
What is the functional and structural unit of compact bone, also known as the Haversian system?
osteon
The center of osteon, contains blood vessels and nerves that supply bone tissue and runs parallel to bone surface
Central canal
The ring of bone that forms the solid structure of an osteon
concentric lamella
Remnant bone layer of older reconstructed osteon
interstitial lamella
The tiny cavity between lamellae, contains osteocyte in living bone.
lacunae
tiny canals extending from lacunae, contain cytoplasmic extensions of osteocytes allow for diffusion of nutrients and waste products
Canaliculi
Contain blood vessels that supply ostens deeper in compact bone, extend perpendicular to bone surface
perforating canals
What is the perosteum?
membrane with 2 layers, a fibrous layer and an osteogenic layer, covers outer surface of bone.
marrow cavity
contains yellow marrow comprised primarily of adipose tissue
enosteum
inner membrane comprised of various bone cells, lines marrow cavity
Another name for Anterior fontanelle
soft spot
thin extensions of bone arranged in an irregular lattice like pattern, with osteocyts with in lacunae. Found in flat bones, epiphysis of long bones and along surface of marrow cavity
trabeculae
fills spaces of spongy bone, contains blood cell producing stem cells red and white and platelets. also contains adipocytes and macrophages
red marrow
Movement of a bone away from midline
Abduction
What is the importance of the epihyseal plate?
it contributes to the growth in length of a developing long bone.
What are cells that occur in the structure?
chondrocytes that produce hyaline cartilage
What is ossifiction?
formation of bone tissue
when does ossification take place?
Begins atabout the end of the second month of development
Which part of a long bone would undergo ossification first?
Diaphysis
which part of long bone would undergo ossification last?
Epiphysis
At what age does ossification complete?
23-25 yrs old
Extension beyond normal anatomical position
hyperextension
what is a decrease in angle between surfaces of articulating bones?
Flexion
Wht is an increase in angle between surfaces of ariculating bones?
Extension
What does yellow marrow primarily consist of?
Adipose tissue,
Stem cells found in red bone marrow produce what types of blood cells?
Red, White and platelets
Mature stage of an osteoblast is called what?
osteocyte
what type of cells are the osteocyte derived from?
Osteoblast
What is the function of osteoblasts?
they produce bone
what does an osteoclast do?
break down or resorb bone
Which cells produce daughter cells that become osteoblasts?
Osteoprogenitor cells
Where on a bone can compact bone be found?
Just inside of the Periosteum
Where can spongy bone be found?
in flat and irregular shaped bone as well as with in the epiphysis of long bones
Homeostasis of bone tissue is dependant upon a delicate balance of activity between which two cells?
osteoblasts and osteoclasts
ossification which is process of bone formation has two methods, what are they?
endochondral-bone replaces cartilage. intramembranous- bone forms with in a membrane-like structure
what are examples of long bones?
femur, humerus
The scull is composed of 8 cranial bones.
occipital, frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid and paired parietal and temporal bones
What is a fissure?
narrow cleft like opening
Foramen
Opening or hole
meatus
tube like passageway
canal
tube like passageway also a meatus
paranasal cavity
air filled cavity within bone, connected to nasal cavity
Groove or sulcus
furrow
What is a fossa?
depression
What are three processes that form a joint?
Condyle, head, facet
Process that tendons, ligaments and connective tissues attach
tubercle, trochanter, tuberosity, crest, line, spinous process, epicondyle
The complete skeleton is comprised of how many bones?

What is tubercle
small rounded process ex on rib and humerus
trochanter
large blunt projection ex. femur
tuberosity
large, usually rough process ex. radius humerus
crest
prominent ridge or border ex. ilium
line
less prominent ridge ex. fmur
spinous process
sharp slender process. ex. vertebrae
epicondyle
prominence above a condyle, ex. humerus, femur
Bones are grouped into 2 divisions
