Definition
trabecular bone
Term
Define diaphysis
Definition
shaft or body
Term
Define epiphysis
Definition
the proximal and distal ends of the bone
Term
Define metaphysis
Definition
"region" where diaphysis meets epiphysis
Term
Define epiphyseal plate
Definition
hyaline cartilage found in the metaphysis of growing bones
Term
Define epiphyseal line
Definition
the body remnant of the epiphyseal plate
Term
Define articular cartilage
Definition
hyaline cartilage at the ends of articulating bones
Term
Define medullary cavity
Definition
space within diaphysis that contains yellow marrow
Term
Define nutrient diaphysis
Definition
The hole in the wall of the diaphysis that contains the nutrient artery and vein
Term
What are the two types of bone membrane?
Definition
Periosteum and endosteum
Term
Describe long bones
Definition
Longer than they are wide; have a shaft and TWO distinct ends; named for their shape NOT size
Term
Describe flat bones
Definition
Thin, flattened, and CURVED; cranial bones, ribs, sternum, and scapula
Term
Describe short bones
Definition
rough and cube-shaped; carpals/tarsals; sesamoid bones
Term
What are the two layers of the periosteum?
Definition
superficial layer of dense irregular CT; deep osteogenic layer
Term
Define Sharpey's fibers
Definition
perforating fibers of the periosteum that secure bone matrix to the bone
Term
Define endosteum
Definition
thin membrane that lines internal bone surface; covers the trabeculae of spongy bone
Term
What is another term for trabecula?
Definition
little beam
Term
What is found in the spaces of trabecula?
Definition
red bone marrow
Term
Define osteon
Definition
Tube-shaped unit of mature compact bone; aka Haversian System
Term
Define Lamella
Definition
layer of bone matrix where collagen fibers and mineral crystals run in one direction; separate lamella run in different directions
Term
Describe the Central Canal
Definition
canal that runs though the core of an osteon
Term
Describe the Perforating Canal
Definition
Canal that connects the blood and nerve supply of the periosteum to the Central Canal and marrow cavity
Term
Define osteocyte
Definition
A mature spider-like bone cell
Term
Define lacunae
Definition
A little depression/cavity occupied by a cell
Term
Describe Canaliculi
Definition
"little canals" that connect neighboring lacunae to each other as well as to the nearest capillaries
Term
Describe interstitial lamellae
Definition
incomplete lamellae between osteons
Term
Describe circumferential lamellae
Definition
Lamellae that extend around the entire circumference of the diaphysis in internal and external surfaces of compact bone
Term
What are the three organic components of bone?
Definition
Collagen fibers, cells, and ground substance
Term
What are the two names for the process by which bones are formed?
Definition
ossification and osteogenesis
Term
What are the two patterns of bone formation?
Definition
Intramembraneous ossification and Endochondral ossification
Term
Describe intramembraneous ossification
Definition
Bone forms directly within mesenchyme arranged in layers that resemble membranes; most skull bones and clavicles
Term
Describe endochondral ossification
Definition
Bone forms within hyalin cartilage, replacing it
Term
What are the two steps in the lengthening of bones?
Definition
Cartilage growth on the epiphysis side of the epiphyseal plate
Cartilage is replaced by bone on the diaphysis side
Term
In younger patients you are more likely to see an epiphyseal _____ versus an epiphyseal ______ in adults
Definition
Plate; line
Term
What is the process by which bones get thicker?
Definition
appositional growth
Term
What are the two stages of appositional growth?
Definition
Osteoblasts in the periosteum add bone tissue to the external bone surface.
Osteoclasts remove bone tissue from the medullary cavity at the same rate
Term
What cells are responsible for bone deposition?
Definition
osteoblasts
Term
What cells are responsible for bone resorption?
Definition
Osteoclasts
Term
Which part of the bone grows faster? The diaphysis or epiphysis
Definition
the epiphysis
Term
Define Ramus
Definition
branch/arm
Term
Define Coronoid
Definition
crown-like
