Term
Function of Endoskeleton:
Definition

1. Support:

2.Protection: the skull protects brain

3. Movement:

4. Mineral Resevoir

5. Hemotopoiesis=blood cell formation, occurs in the red bone marrow.

Term

2 basic elements of skeleton

Definition

Cartilage: a mucoprotein matrix, resembles bone in that it is formed by chondrocytes in the lacunae.

Bone: an organic matirx, mostly of collagen fibers, with deposited mineral salts, mostly calcium phosphate.

Term
a. Axial
Definition

skull

a.cranium

b.face

2.Vertebral column

3.Ribs and sternum

Term
Appendicular
Definition

Limbs

Pectoral girdle

Pelvic girdle

Term
4 classifications of Bones
Definition

long, humerus

short, carpals

flat, sternum

irregular,vertebrae

Term
Fontanels
Definition
In very young, membrane covered spaces between the vones of the cranium, allow the skull to compress during birth, close by the end of one year of age.
Term
Gross Anatomy of Long Bone
Definition

Shaft: Diaphysis

Ends:proximal and distal epiphyses

Hollow Interior of diaphysis: meduallary cavity, or marrow cavity

Term

What are two kinds of Marrow?

 

Definition

Yellow: largely fat, usually in central part

Red Marrow: indicates active hemotopoiesis. occurs ar the ends of the cavity, and in the spongy bone in the epiphyses

 

Endosteum: inside the marrow cavity,a thin connective tissue containing two types of cells:

 

Osteoblasts=osteocytes

Osteoclasts:dissolve bone by taking cal phos. and put into blood stream.

Term
Epiphyseal Cartilage
Definition
IN growing bones the epiphyses are separated from the diaphysis by a plate of cartilage. This is an active growing area. Dissapears into epiphyseal line in adults.
Term
Flat bones
Definition
have no marrow cavity, only an interior of spongy bone containing red bone marrow. Interior space lined w. endosteum
Term
Periosteum
Definition
The outside of all bones is covered by double layer of tough fibrous CT/
Term
What makes up the Osteon=Haversian system
Definition

1. Central haversian canal: containing vessels an nerves. surrounded by concentric rings or layers of bone= 2. Lamellae.

3. Lacunae: small open spaces along the lamellae.

4. Osteocytes=osteoblasts

5. Canaliculi: small canals radiating out from the lacunae interconnect them all, osterocytes have small extension that fill these canals.

Term
Nutrient Canal
Definition
Course through bone, communicate with the marrow cavity and the outside;contain arteries, veins and nerves.
Term
Volkmann's canals
Definition
running at right angles to the nutrient canals and Haversian canals, interconnect them
Term
Spongey Bone
Definition
Like compact bone, but much less organixzed and without the concentric lamellae. Made up of thin trabeculae.
Term
Intramembranous Ossification
Definition

Begins as a mass of undifferentiated mesodermal cells, which contain fibrocytes( now become osteoblasts) and collagen fibers. The osteoblasts deposit calcium phosphate salts in small quantities, forming small spicules of bone. Layers are continually added, until the osteoblast has completely surrouned itself and is now in a lacunae of its own making.

Term
Appositional growth
Definition
How bone grows. Adds layers on greater curvature by osteoblasts, and dissolves bone on lesser curvature through osteoclasts.
Term
Endochondral Ossification
Definition
most bones form this way. cartilage or repacement bone. Begins with pre-existing bones formed of cartilage in the embryo.
Term
What are the 3 centers of ossification of the long bone?
Definition

Primary: in the diaphysis, from outside in

Secondaries: in each epiphysis, in center

Cartilage epiphyseal plate:metaphysis transitional zone divides.
