Hyaline cartilage

Most abundant cartilage


Covers the ends of bones

Elastic cartilage

Contains more elastic fibers and Highland cartilage "stretchy"


Forms epiglottis and external ear

Fibrocartilage

Consists of parallel rows of chondrocytes alternating with thick collagen fibers


Intervertebral disks

Long bones

Younger than wide consists of shaft and two ends

Short bones

Cube shaped, bones of the wrist and ankles

Flat bone

Thin, flat, slightly curved

Irregular bones

Complex shape example hip bones

Compact bones

Dense, outer layer of bones

Spongy bones

Honeycomb network called the trabeculae

Diaphysis

Shaft


Forms long axis of bone

Epiphysis

Ends of long bones

Epiphyseal plate

Area (disc) of Hyaline cartilage located between the diaphysis

Membranes

Pero te um covers bone except where there is articular cartilage

Endosteum

Delicate connective tissue that covers the internal bone surface

Periosteum

Covered compact bone


Endosteum covered spongy bone

Lamellae

In an osteon one lamellae Is placed outside the next.

Structural unit

Osteon, weight bearing pillars, arranged parallel to the long axis of the bone

Circumferential lamellae

Located deep to the periosteum, not part of an osteon

Interstitial lamellae

Located between osteons, fill gaps, remnants of cut osteons

Haversion canal

Located through the center of the osteon, contains small blood vessels and nerves

Volkmann's canals

Connect the blood and nerve supply of the periosteum of those of the haversion canal

Tendons

Connect muscle to bone

Ligaments

Connect bone to bone

Extracellular matrix

Consist of fibers and ground substance

Canaliculi

Tiny canals that's connect the lacunae to each other

Calcitonin

Released by the extrafollicular cells of the thyroid gland when bone calcium levels increase

Wolffs law

A bone grows or remodels in response to the force of demands placed on it

Comminuted fracture

3 or more breaks (usually due to brittle bones in the aged)

Compression fracture

Crushed bones (seen in an injury from a fall)

Spiral fracture

Ragged break due to twisting (sports injuries)

Epiphyseal fracture

Speration of epiphysis from diaphysis

Depressed fracture

Bone pushed inward

Greenstick fracture

Incomplete break (one side breaks the other side bends)

Hematoma (blood clot)

Bone cells lacking nutrients

Osteomalacia (soft bone)

Bones weak because minerals are not deposited or not deposited correctly.

Rickets

Children version of soft bone usually due to diet

Osteoporosis

Bone resorption > bone deposition bone mass decrease

Pagets disease

Excessive bone formation and breakdown

Osteoblast

Makes new bones

Osteoclast

Breakdown bone

Osteocites

Maintain everything

Lipid storage

Yellow marrow
