Osseous Tissue & Bone Structure
Question | Answer |
---|---|
The study of bone structure and the treatment of bone disorders | Osteology |
Framework of bones, cartilages, ligaments.... | Skeletal System |
6 functions of skeletal system | Support, protect, movement, mineral homeostasis, hemopoises, storage of fat |
7 bone structures | Epiphysis, Metaphysis, Diaphysis, Articular cartilage, Periosteum, Medullary cavity, Endosteum |
Either end of a long bone | Epiphysis |
Growth plate along the top & bottom of a growing bone | Metaphysis |
Shaft/body of a long bone | Diaphysis |
Thin layer of cartilage covering epiphysis- reduces friction & absorbs shock | Articular Cartilage |
Protection around the outside of the bone | Periosteum |
The center part of the bone that stores fat | Medullary cavity |
Thin INNER lining around the Medullar Cavity | Endosteum |
Deposited in the Extracellular Matrix ( Hydroxyapatite) | Mineral salt part of the bone |
Hardness of bone | Calcification |
This can be determined by the amount of collagen fibers in the bone | Flexibility |
These break down bone to release minerals as needed ( break down bone in blood to let out calcium) | Osteoclasts |
3 types of bone cells | Osteoblasts, Osteocytes, Osteoclasts |
Young, immature bone building cells ( secrete matrix called osteoid) | Osteoblasts |
Mature bone cells that maintain hardened bone | Osteocytes |
Old & dried up bone cells, resorption of bone matrix to release calcium | Osteoclasts |
Inside part of bone that provides protection & support, dense along diaphysis & thin at epiphysis (outside of spongy bone) | Compact bone |
Inside part of bone that is lightweight & proves tissue support | Spongy |
This Makes up 80% of the skeleton- most common | Compact bone |
Structural units of bone | Osteon |
Contains artery & vein | Central canal |
Circular rings of matrix | Concentric lamellae |
Little lakes for osteocytes to live in | Lacunae |
Small channels (between lakes)- how osteocytes breathe/ eat/ connect | Canaliculi |
Makes up only 20% of skeleton, no osteons, always inside bone | Spongy bone |
"Little beams" thin columns of bone | Trabeculae |
Fills spaces between trabeculae in blood producing bones - kids | Red Marrow |
Feels spaces between trabeculae in all other bones | Yellow Marrow (adipose tissue) |
Up to one-third of bone mass can be lost in a few weeks of inactivity during | Bone Degeneration |
Allows bones to adapt to stress & heavily stressed bones become thicker & stronger from the effects of | Exercise |
Beginning between the ages of 30 & 40, the bones become thinner & weaker with age | Osteopenia |
Severe bone loss | Osteoporosis |
Shallow, basin like depression | Fossa |
Rounded articular projection | Condyle |
Raised area above a condyle | Epicondyle |
Bony expansion on a narrow neck | Head |
Large, blunt, irregular surface | Trochanter |
Rounded Projection | Tuberosity |
Any bony prominence | Process |
Narrow, prominent ridge of bone | Crest |
Narrow ridge of bone | Line |
Small pit like indent | Fovea |
Small rounded projection | Tubercle |
Arm-like bar of bone | Ramus |
Sharp, slender projection | Spine |
Round or oval opening through a bone | Foramen |
Narrow, slit-like opening | Fissure |
Canal-like passageway | Meatus |
Space within a bone | Sinus |
