94 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Long bones

Longitudinal axes and expanded ends

Long bones

Forearm and thigh bones

Short bones

Cube like with roughly equal lengths and widths

Short bones

Bones of ankles and wrists

Sesamoid bone or round bone

A special type of short bone is usually small and nodular and embedded in a tendon adjacent to a joint, where the tendon is compressed

Sesamoid bone or round bone

Kneecap( patella)

Flat bones

Plate like structures with broad surfaces

Flat bones

Ribs, scapulae, and some bones of the skull

Irregular bones

Have a variety of shapes, and most are connected to several other bones

Irregular bones

Include vertebrae that compose the backbone, and many facial bones

Epiphysis

An expanded portion at the end of a long bone

Proximal epiphysis

Nearest to the torso

Distal epiphysis

Farthest from the torso

Articular cartilage

Coats the epiphysis on the articulating portion

Diaphysis

Shaft of the bone

Metaphysis

Is the widening part of the bone between the diaphysis and the epiphysis

Periosteum

A tough vascular covering of dense connective tissue on the bone

Periosteum

Helps form and repair bone tissue

Processes

Bony projections, provide sites for attachment of ligaments and tendons

Compact bone

Tightly packed tissue that makes up the wall of the diaphysis

Compact bone or cortical bone

Has a continuous extracellular matrix with no gaps

Spongy bone or cancellous bone

Composes the epiphysis with thin layers of compact bone on their surfaces

Trabeculae

Many branching bony plates that are inside spongy bone

Compact and spongy bone

Strong and resist bending

Medullary cavity

Compact bone in the diaphysis of a long bone forms a tube with a hollow chamber called that is continuous with the spaces of the spongy bone

Endosteum

A things membrane containing bone forming cells lines these spaces and the medullary cavity

Marrow

A specialized type of soft connective tissue, fills the spongy bone spaces and the medullary cavity, red, yellow

Osteocytes

Are in tiny bony chambers called lacuna

Osteocytes

Exchange substances with nearby cells by means of cellular processes passing through canaliculi

Collagen

Gives bone it's strength and resilience

Inorganic salts

Make it hard and resistant to crushing

Osteon

In compact bone, the osteocytes and layers of extracellular matrix called lamellae are concentrically clustered around a central canal forming a cylinder shaped unit called

Osteons

Run longitudinally with the axis of the bone, functioning as weight bearing pillars, resisting compression

Spongy bone

Do not aggregate around central canals instead the cells lie in the trabeculae and get nutrients from substances diffusing into the canaliculi that lead to the surfaces of these thin, bony plates

Intramembranous bones

Bones that originate within sheet like layers of connective tissues

Endochondral bones

Bones that begin as masses of hyaline cartilage later replaced by bone tissue

Intermembranous bones

Flat bones of the skull

Intramembranous bones

Clavicles

Intramembranous bones

Sternum

Intramembranous bones

Some facial bones including the mandible maxillae and zygomatic bones

Osteogenesis

Development of intramembranous bones

Mesenchyme

Membrane like layers of embryonic connective tissue

Osteoblast

Mesenchyme cells that are part of the connective tissue enlarge and further differentiate into bone forming cells called

Osteocytes

Osteoblasts completely secluded in the lacunae

Primary ossification center

In a long bone, bone tissue begins to replace hyaline cartilage in the center of the diaphysis

Secondary ossification center

Appear in the epiphysis, and spongy bone forms in all directions from them

Epiphyseal plate

As spongy bone is deposited in the diaphysis and in the epiphysis, this band of cartilage remains between the two ossification centers

Zone of resting cartilage

1st layer of epiphyseal plate ,closest to the end of the epiphysis, composed of resting cells that do not actively participate in growth, this layer anchors the epiphyseal plate to the bony tissue of the epiphysis

Zone of proliferating cartilage

2nd layer of the epiphyseal plate, includes rows of many young cells undergoing mitosis

Zone of hypertrophic cartilage

3rd layer, the rows of older cells left behind when new cells appear

Zone of calcified cartilage

4th layer of the epiphyseal plate, thin, composed of dead cartilage cells and calcified extracellular matrix

Growth hormone

Secreted by the pituitary glanf , stimulates division of cartilage cells in the epiphyseal plates

Pituitary dwarfism

Too little growth hormone is secreted the long bones of the limbs fail to develope normally

Pituitary gigantism

Excess growth hormone is released before the epiphyseal plates ossify, height may exeed 8 ft

Acromegaly

In adults, secretion of excess growth hormone, in which the hands, feet, and jaw enlarge

Rickets

Vitamin D deficiency in children

Osteomalacia

Vitamin D deficiency in adults

Hypertrophy

Stress stimulates the bone tissue to thicken and strengthen

Atrophy

Tissue becomes thinner and weaker

Hematopoiesis

Begins in the yolk sac which lies outside the embryo

Hematopoiesis

Begins in the yolk sac which lies outside the embryo

Marrow

Soft net like mass of connective tissue in the medullary cavities of long bones, in the irregular spaces of spongy bone, and in larger central canals of compact bone tissue

Red marrow

Erythrocytes, leukocytes, and blood platelets form

Hemoglobin

Red oxygen carrying pigment in red blood cells

Axial skeleton

Consist of bony and cartilaginous parts that support and protect the organs of the head neck and trunk

Appendicular skeleton
