Ossification

A two-part process of building bone by depositing calcium salts into tissue.


Calcification is also another term used to describe the bone making process

Chondroblast

The first part of ossification, these are cartilage forming cells creating the cartilage model of bones

Osteogenesis

Shortly after birth hardening of cartilage in the bones occurs, as calcium salts are deposited into the gel like matrix of the forming bones

Osteocytes

Are mature bone cells that maintain the bone throughout our lifetime

Osteoblast

Bone building cells develop the bone tissue from the cartilage model

Cartilage

A tough flexible connective tissue with high water content so is softer and bone

Articular cartilage

In an adult the only remaining cartilage left in bone.


Synovial fluid

Is secreted by synovial joints and provides lubrication, oxygen and nutrition


Periosteum

Is a fiberous membrane that covers the bone. On the inside of this membrane are the cells necessary for bone formation and repair

Endosteum

Is a thinner membrane that lies the major cavity of the bone. This also contains cells necessary for bone formation

stages of healing a fracture

Hematoma forms


cellular proliferation


callus formation


ossification


remodeling


Remodeling

After bone growth has ceased bones undergo a process of changing their shapes, thickness, size all due to the needs.

Deposition

Is the bone formation phase of remodeling osteoblast which are formed just beneath periosteum continuously deposit bone on its external surface by moving blood calcium to the bone

Resorption

Is the bone destroying phase in which osteoclast break down the bone tissue to maintain blood calcium levels

Skeletal changes caused by age

Bones become brittle


the loss of calcium starts earlier in women


bone fractures heal more slowly with age


the average person loses a half inch every 20 years because of vertebral bodies lose height


Compact bone

It consist of bone tissue almost completely surrounded by dense material


Examples


the hard portion of the bone that makes up the main shaft the of long bones. In the outer layer of all bones

Lamellae

These are concentric rings of compact bone

Haversian canals

Canals formed from the lamellae


Osteons

Cylinder shaped units of bone. There like this supporting structures throughout the lamellae.


Think of them as columns in the caves

Lacunae

Within the hard layers of the lamellae osteocytes are located in the spaces


Spongy bone (cancellous)

It's made up of lattices of bone. These spaces in these lattices are where red bone marrow is produced.

Trabeculae

Space and irregular meshing of small bony plates that make up spongy bone in the spaces are filled with red bone marrow

piezoelectric

The ability to produce electrical current when deformed or compressed especially in the crystalline substance such as bone matrix.

Articulate

The meeting of bone to bone. Where to bones come together and transfer forces for movement

Tendons. What do they do?

Connect muscles to bones`

Ligaments. What do they do

hold bones together

Long bones

They are longer than they are wide. In the hollow space in the shaft usually contains yellow bone marrow

Diaphysis

The shaft of a long bone

Epiphysis

Are the ends of long bones. This is also where the bones grow in length

medullary cavity

Is the hollow space in the shaft of long bones.

Cubed bones

Or cubed shaped bones. Your carpals and tarsals

Short bones

Are generally shorter than long bones such as your metatarsals and metacarpals

Flat bones

There thin and flat. Your ribs in your skull

Irregular bones

There bones who shape do not fit in any other category such as your vertebrae your hyoid bone some facial bones and your scapula

Sesamoid bones

Are small and round and are embedded in certain tendons example would be your patella

The functions of bone

*Support soft tissue and serve as a framework for the entire body


*provide attachment points for muscles and ligaments


*protect the delicate internal organs such as the brain spinal cord, heart and lungs.


*Support his levers to provide movement created by attached muscles


*store calcium, phosphorus, and other minerals for release in the body as needed


*store lipids and bone marrow for use as energy


produce blood cells in the red bone marrow

Endoskeleton

Supporting structure is on the inside

Axial skeleton

*Forms the center or the axis of the body


* provides the body with form and protection


*the head, vertebral column, ribs and sternum

Appendicular skeleton

*composed of the limbs and their attachments


*the shoulder girdle in the hip girdle connect the appendicular skeleton to the axial skeleton.


*Scapula, clavicle, humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, pelvis, femur, tibia, fibula, talus, calcaneus, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges, patella.

The bones of the face provide

The framework for the appearance of the face


protection for the eyeball, structure for the nose, and anchor to teeth

4 most prominent sutures are

*Sagittal suture which is between the parietal bones


*lambdoid suture between the parietal bones in the occipital bone


*coronal suture is between the parietal bone in the frontal bones


*squamous suture is between the temporal and parietal bones

Foramina

Nerves and blood vessels in her in next the school through holes

Sinuses

Are air spaces that resonate the voice and remove some of the weight of the bones


Sutures

Are specialized joints between the bones of the skull

Joints

There places where bones come together where limbs are attached, and where the motion of the skeletal system occur


______________ bear weight and hold the skeletal system together

Joints

Skin

Is the largest organ and is our body's covering

The eyelids have the________________ skin layer_

Thinnest

What's the difference between some of the structures that can feel like bone and actual bone

The shape and rigidity of bones and bony landmarks are constant unlike other tissues which can transform from soft to hard and back again

Skeletal muscle is the___________ contractile tissue

Voluntary


It's the three differences of the tissue in muscle

Muscle tissue has a striated texture


directional muscle fibers can be used to determine the specific muscle you are palpating


muscle tissue is unique because it can be contracted or in a relaxed state


Five types of parallel muscles

*Flat muscles like that of the frontal muscle of the head


fusiform- the brachalis muscle


strap- satorius muscle


triangular- trapezius


sphincter

Three types of the pennate muscles

*unipennate the posterior tibialis


bipennate


multipennate- deltoid

Tendons

Are composed of dense connective tissue their bundles are parallel collagen fibers. Each muscle has at least one or more.

Ligaments

Connect bones together at a joint there made of uneven configuration of dense connective . This will stay taut throughout all movements or states of contractions

Fascia

As a form of dense connective tissue that is continuous sheet the fibrous membrane located beneath the skin around the muscles and organs from head to toe


Aponeurosis

Is a broad flat tendon


Reticulum

Is a structure that holds organ or tissue in place and has transverse fibers that run perpendicular to tendons


Bursae

Fluid-filled sacs that reduces friction between two structures situated primarily around joints but can also be located between two muscles. Two tendons, a tendon and a ligament, a muscle and a ligament


Bursitis

Inflammation of the bursa

Plexus

Is a bundle of nerves

Lymph nodes

Are small can be palpated. Are bean shaped. Can be from the size of a pea to an almond. Will be slightly movable and nontender
