Bones Flash Card List (30)

Front 1

Osteoclasts

Back 1

a large multinucleate bone cell that absorbs bone tissue during growth and healing.

Front 2

Osteoblasts

Back 2

a cell that secretes the matrix for bone formation.osteo

Front 3

Osteocytes

Back 3

bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the matrix it has secreted.

Front 4

Compact bone

Back 4

support the whole body, protect organs, provide levers for movement, and store and release chemical elements, mainly calcium.

Front 5

Spongy bone

Back 5

Bone in which the spicules form a latticework, with interstices filled with embryonic connective tissue or bone marrow.

Front 6

Articular cartilage

Back 6

The cartilage covering the articular surfaces of the bones forming a synovial joint.

Front 7

Periosteum

Back 7

a dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints.

Front 8

Epiphysis

Back 8

the end part of a long bone, initially growing separately from the shaft.

Front 9

Diaphysis

Back 9

the shaft or central part of a long bone.

Front 10

Red marrow

Back 10

consists mainly of hematopoietic tissue

Front 11

Yellow marrow

Back 11

which is mainly made up of fat cells.

Front 12

Medullary cavity

Back 12

The medullary cavity (medulla, innermost part) is the central cavity of bone shafts where red bone marrow and/or yellow bone marrow (adipose tissue) is stored; hence, the medullary cavity is also known as the marrow cavity.

Front 13

Endochondral bone

Back 13

Endochondral ossification is one of the two essential processes during fetal development of the mammalian skeletal system by which bone tissue is created. Unlike intramembranous ossification, which is the other process by which bone tissue is created, cartilage is present during endochondral ossification.
