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 |
