Cards

Term
osseous tissue
Definition
connective tissue in which the matrix is hardened by the depostition of calcium phosphate and other minerals
Term
osteogenic cells
Definition
stem cells that develop from embryonic mesenchymal cells and give rise to most other bone cell types
Term
osteoblasts
Definition
bone forming cells - roughly cuboidal and line up in a single layer on the bone surface under the endosteum and periosteum and resemble a cuboidal epithelium - nonmiotic
Term
osteocytes
Definition
former osteoblasts that have become trapped in the matreix trhey deposited - reside in lacunae which are interconnected by slender channels called canaliculi - resorb bone matrix and others deposit it - homeostatic maintenance of both bone density and blood concentrations of calcium and phosphate ions
Term
concentric lamellae
Definition
layers of matric concentrically arranged around a central canal
Term
canaliculi
Definition
connection between osteocytes through osteon
Term
osteon
Definition
basic structural unit of compact bone
Term
perforating canals
Definition
connections between central canals along the length or side of the osteons - (transverse or diagonal passages)
Term
hydroxyapatite
Definition
a crystallized calcium phosphate salt - 85% of inorganix matter in the matrix
Term
bones matrix
Definition
1/3 organic - collagen & protein-carbohydrate complexes
2/3 inorganic
Term
spongy bone
Definition
consists of a lattice of delicate slivers of bone called spicule (rods or spines) and trabeculae (thin plates)
covered with endosteum
Term
bone marrow
Definition
soft tissue that occupies the marrow cavity of a long bone, spaces amid the trabeculae of spongy bone and the larger central canals
red and yellow
Term
red bone marrow
Definition
hemopoietic tissue - produces red blood cells
Term
yellow bone marrow
Definition
no longer produces blood, unless sever or chronic anemia occurs
Term
closed reduction
Definition
procedure in which bone fragments are manipulated into their normal positions without surgery
Term
open reductions
Definition
surgical exposure of the bone and use of plates, screws or pins to realign the fragments
Term
Calcitonin
Definition
promotes mineralization and lowers blood calcium concentration in children - but usually has little effect in adults
Term
Parathyroid hormone
Definition
raises blood calcium level - raises osteoclast population to promote bone resorbstion - calcium resorbtion by kidneys - inhibits collagen synthesis by osteoblasts
