Cartilage
____________ holds bones together at joints.
ligaments
What are the functions of the skeletal system?
1. Support
2. Protection
3. Movement
4. Electrolyte balance
5. Acid-base balance
6. Blood formation
body framework, supports soft tissues and provide sites for skeletal MUSCLE ATTACHMENT
Support- function of the skeletal system
Bones enclose/protect brain, spinal cord, heart, lugs, pelvic viscera, bone marrow
Protection- a function of the skeletal system
Provide levers for muscles to pull on
Movement- a function of the skeletal system
Stores and releases Ca and P according to the body's needs
Electrolyte balance a function of the skeletal sytem
Absorbs or releases alkaline salts to buffer blood against excessive pH changes and is a natural homeostasis
Acid-Base balance- a function of the skeletal system
hematopoiesis-occurs within red bone marrow
Blood formation- a function of the skeletal system
What does hematopoiesis mean?
blood formation
__________ is connective tissue with a matrix hardened by minerals including calcium phosphate.
Osseous Tissue
___________ tissue has individual bones that consist of bone tissue, marrow, blood, cartilage, periosteum, fat, and nerves
Osseous Tissue
Outer tissue around the bone
Periosteum
_________ tissue continually remodels itself.
Osseous Tissue
What are the 2 textures of Osseous tissue?
1. Spongy
2. Compact bone
What is another name for spongy bone?
cancellous bone
What is the shaft of a long bone called?
diaphysis
What is the hollow cylinder or shaft of compact bone
diaphysis
The medullary cavity in the bones of adults is filled with what kind of bone marrow?
yellow bone marrow
The medullary cavity in the bones of infants is filled with what kind of bone marrow?
red bone marrow
This lines the medullary cavity and is under the periosteum.
Endosteum
Long bone is lined on the outside with what?
Periosteum
The knobby ends of long bone are called what?
Proximal epiphysis
Joint surface of a long bone is covered with what?
articular cartilage
become osteocytes
osteoblasts
osteoclasts do what?
destroy
nerve fibers, blood, and lymphatic vessles enter the bone through what?
nutrient foramina
Collagen fibers penetrating into bone matrix to secure periosteum to the bone
Perforating (Sharpey's) fibers
______ bone is filled with red bone marrow and covered by compact bone
spongy bone
_________ separates diaphysis from epiphysis
epiphyseal line
Cartilage which in youth, made of hyaline provides longitudinal bone growth; in adults it ossifies, and is seen as an indistinct line
Epiphyseal plate
Thin plates of periosteum-covered compact bone on the outside with endosteum-covered sponge bone sandwiched inbetween
flat bone
internal layer of spongy bone, only a few cells thick
diploe
nutrients and oxygen diffuse into bone cells from blood vessels in endosteum in which type of bone?
flat bone
A hit to the __________ part of bone can hurt for up to a year
periosteum
small holes under periosteum
nutrient formina
lines the bone and keeps the periosteum to the bone
Perforating (Sharpey's) fibers
Make sure you are studying the pictures of the bone
really do it
network of spongy bone in the flat bone
trabeculae
irregular line on the junction of 2 bones is calle?
suture
stem cells that develop from fibrobasts, then give rise to osteoblasts and eventually osteocytes.
osteogenic cells
osteogenic cells can be found where?
endosteum, periosteum, or central canals
"bone formers" synthesize organic matrix, which then hardens by mineral deposition.
osteoblasts
former osteoblasts trapped in the matrix they formed
osteocytes
osteocytes can be found where?
in lacunae
lacunae are interconnected by tiny channels called?
canaliculi
velcro
gap junctions
very large, bone dissolving cells found on bone surface. Give rise to monocytes and some other WBC
osteocytes
The bone matrix is made out of _____ organic and ____ inorganic matter
1. 1/3
2. 2/3
Provides flexibility in bone matrix and without it bone is brittle and would shatter easy. made out of collagen plus various protein-carbohydrate complexes (GAGS, proteogylcans and glycoproteins)
Organic matter
Enables bone to support weight of body without sagging in the bone matrix. Without it, bone becomes rubbery
inorganic matter
Inorganic matter is made out of 85%__________, 10% _________, and 5% __________.
1. hydroxyapatite
2. Calcium Carbonate
3. Other minerals
Basic structural unit of compact bone. Weight-bearing columns of matrix formed into concentric layers of lamellae around a central canal containing blood vessels and nerves
osteons
within lacunae are connected to each other and their blood supply by tiny cell processes within canaliculi
osteocytes
vascular canals perpendicularly joining central canals
Perforating (Volkmann) canals
Remnants of old, remodeled osteons in compact bone
interstitial lamellae
extend around entire circumference of shaft at inner and outer boundaries to resist bone twisting in compact bone
