Term
Sutural or wormian bones
Definition
extra bones within the joints of the skull
Term
Sesamoid bones
Definition
additional bones may develop in tendons in response to stress ( everyone has one at the anterior surface of each knee (patallae))
Term
Periosteum
Definition
a layer of ense, white fibrous tissue that covers the surface of the bone
Term
endosteum
Definition
inner cellular lining
Term
Epiphyses
Definition
end of bone which forms a joint with another bone
Term
Metaphysis
Definition
connection region between the epiphyses and diaphysis.
Term
Osteoprogenitor cells
Definition
  • Stem cells derived from mesenchyme
  • located in the periosteum and the endosteum
Term
Osteoblasts
Definition
  • bone forming cells

 

Term
Osteocytes
Definition
  • reside in lacunae
  • mature bone cells
Term
Osteoclasts
Definition
  • bone resorption
Term
Chondroblasts
Definition
are the cells that produce the matrix of cartilage.
Term
Chondrocytes
Definition
  • occupy small spaces called lacunae
  • Mature cartilage cells
  • Maintain the matrix and ensure it remains healthy and viable
  • avascular
Term
Three major functions of cartilage
Definition
  • Supports soft tissue
  • Articulations where two bones meet
  • Provides a model for bone formation
Term
Three types of cartilage
Definition
  • Hyaline
  • Fibrocartilage
  • Elastic cartilage
Term
Hyaline Cartilage
Definition
  • Most abundant
  • Found in the
    • trachea
    • larynx
    • articular joints
    • epiphyseal plates
    • fetal skeleton
Term
Fibrocartilage
Definition
  • shock absorber
  • made of thick collagen fibers
  • resists (tensile)stretching and compaction
  • located
    • intervertebral discs
    • menisci of the knee
    • pubic symphysis
Term
Elastic Cartilage
Definition
  • contains elastin
  • found in
    • auricle of the ear
    • external auditory canal
    • epiglottis
Term
Interstitial Growth
Definition
Growth from within
Term
Appositional Growth
Definition
Growth from the outside edge or periphery
Term
Bone Function
Definition
  • Support and Protection
  • Movement
  • Hemopoiesis
  • Storage of mineral and energy reserves
Term
Hemopoiesis
Definition
  • Process of blood cell production

 

Term
Red Bone Marrow
Definition
  • Located in spongy bone
  • Contains stem cells
  • Location in adults
    • flat bones
    • vertebrae
    • ribs
    • sternum
    • ossa coxae
    • humerus and femur
Term
Yellow Bone Marrow
Definition
  • Stores lipids for potential engery
  • Stores calcium and phosphate

 

Term
Long Bones
Definition
  • upper limbs
  • lower limbs

 

Term
Short Bones
Definition
  • Carpals
  • Tarsals
  • Sesamoid bones (patella)
Term
Flat bones
Definition
  • Roof of the skull
  • Scapulae
  • Sternum
  • Ribs
Term
Irregular Bones
Definition
  • Vertebrae
  • Ossa coxae
  • ethmoid
  • spheonoid

 

Term
Diaphysis
Definition
Shaft of a long bone
Term
Epiphysis
Definition
  • Each end of a long bone
  • Provides bone-to-bone
  • tendon and ligament attachment
Term
Metaphysis
Definition
  • sandwich between the diaphysis and the epiphysis
  • contains the epiphyseal growth plate
Term
Articular Cartilage
Definition
The thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the epiphysis at the joint surface
Term
Medullary Cavity
Definition
  • hollow, cylindrical space within the diaphysis
  • contains yellow bone marrow
Term
Endosteum
Definition
  • contains
    • osteoprogenitor cells
    • osteoblasts
    • osteoclasts
  • active during bone growth,repair, and remodeling
  • cells that cover all internal surfaces of bone
Term
Periosteum
Definition
  • covers the outer surface of the bone
  • made of dense irregular CT
  • protects bone from surrounding structures
  • anchors blood vessels and nerves to the bone
  • provides stem cells for bone growth and repair
Term
Central Canal
Definition
  • cylindrical channel contains blood vessesl and nerves
Term
Concentric lamellae
Definition
  • surround the central canal
  • form osteon
  • gives bone part of its strength and resilience
Term
Canaliculi
Definition
  • house osteocyte cytoplasmic projections
  • nutrients, minerals, gases, and wastes travel through the passageways to the central canal and the osteocytes
Term
Ossification
Definition
  • formation and development of bone CT
  • begins n the embryo and continues as teh skeleton grows
Term
Intramembranous Ossification
Definition
  • bone growth within a membrane
  • also called dermal ossification
  • produces
    • flat bones of the skull
    • facial bones - zygomatic bone, maxilla, mandible, part of the clavicle
Term
Endochondral Ossification
Definition
  • begins with hyaline cartilage model
  • produces most of the other bones of the skeleton
Term
