Chapter 6 Skeletal
OsseosTissue and Bone Structure
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Primary Functions of the Skeletal System | Support and Frame Work, Storage of Minerals and Lipids, Blood Cell Production, Protection, Leverage |
Bone Shapes | Long Bone, Flat Bone, Sutural Bone, Irregular Bone, Short Bones, and Sesamoid. |
Surface features that can yield an abundance of anatomical information. | Bone Markings |
Extended Tubular Shaft on a long bone | Diaphysis |
Expanded end of a long bone | Epiphysis |
Narrow zone between the Epiphysis and The Diaphysis | Metaphysis |
Marrow Cavity | Medullary |
Thin layer of compact bone covering spongy bone. | Cortex |
Crystals formed by Calcium phosphate and Calcium Hydroxide | hydroxyapatite |
Mature bones cells that occupy the Lacuna. Maintain protein and mineral content of surrounding matrix and participating in the repair of damaged bone. | Osteocytes |
Layers of bone matrix that contain lacuna and oseocytes | Lamellae |
Narrow passageways through the matrix, extended between the lacunae and nearby blood vessels, forming a branching network for the exchange of nutrients, waste products, and gases | Canaliculi |
Immature bone cells that secrete organic components of matrix. | Osteoblasts |
Process in which Osteoblasts create new bone matrix | Osteogenesis |
Matrix before calcium salts are deposited | Osteoid |
Stem Cells whose division creates osteoblasts | Osteoprogenitor |
Multi nucleated cell that secretes acid and enzymes to dissolve bone matrix. | Osteoclasts |
Erosion process, conducted by the osteoclasts, that resolves the bone matrix and releases stored minerals (Important in the regulation of calcium and phosphate). | Osteolysis |
Basic function unit of mature compact bone. Osteocytes are arranged in a concentric layer around a central canal. | Osteon or Halverson System |
Structure of Spongy bone. Matrix arranged in struts and plates. | Trabeculae |
Found between trabeculae of spongy bone. Within the epiphysis of long bones and the interior of other bones such as the sternum and ilium. Responsible for Blood Cell formation. | Red Bone Marrow |
Spongy bone that contains adipose tissue an important energy reserve. | Yellow Bone Marrow |
Except within join cavities, a superficial layer that covers all compact bone. | Periosteum |
An incomplete cellular layer that lines the medullary cavities. | Endosteum |
The process of replacing other tissue with bones.. | Ossification |
The deposition of calcium salts. | Calcification |
Process where cartilage models are gradually converted to bone. | Endochondral Ossification |
The site where the bone development begins. | Primary Ossification Center |
Created during step 5 of the Endochondral Ossification process. The center of the epiphyses begin to calcify, and capillaries and osteoblasts migrate to area. | Secondary Ossification Center |
Cartilage that prevents damaging bone to bone contact within the joint. | Articular Cartilage |
A narrow cartilaginous region that that separates the epiphysis from the diaphysis. | Epiphyseal Cartilage or Epiphyseal Plate |
In adults, this is the formal location of the epiphyseal Cartilage. | Epiphyseal Line |
Process where cells of the inner layer of the periosteum differentiate into osteoblast and deposit superficial layers of bone matrix. | Appositional Growth |
Process where osteoblasts differentiate within a mesenchymal or fibrous connective tissue. The bones that result from this process are called dermal bones. | Intramembranous Ossification |
Bones that result from Intramembranous Ossification | Dermal Bones |
The location in a tissue where ossification begins. | Ossification Center |
Small struts that grow outward from the ossification center. | Spicules |
The process where organic and mineral components of the bone matrix are continuously being recycled and renewed. | Remodeling |
Kidneys. Promotes calcium and ion absorption along the digestive tract. | Calcitriol |
Pituitary Gland, Stimulates osteoblast activity and synthesis of bone matrix. | Growth Hormone |
Thyroid Gland. With Growth Hormone, Stimulates osteoblast activity and synthesis of bone matrix. | Thyroxine |
Estrogens/ Androgens. Stimulates osteoblast activity and synthesis of bone matrix. | Sex hormones |
Parathyroid Gland. Stimulates Osteoclast (and Osteoblast) activity; elevates calcium ion concentrations in body fluids. | Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) |
Thyroid Gland (C cells) Inhibits osteoclast activity; promotes calcium loss at the kidneys; reduces calcium ion concentrations in body fluids. | Calcitonin |
Crack or break resulting from extreme loads, sudden impacts , or stresses from unusual directions. | Fracture |
Large blood clot resulting from a fracture. | Fracture Hematoma |
Enlarged collar of cartilage and bone that encircles the bone at the level of the fracture. | External Callus |
Organizes within the medullary cavities from the result of a fracture. | Internal Callus |
Inadequate ossification | Osteopenia |
Condition in which the reduction of bone mass is sufficient to compromise normal function. | Osteporosis |
Dense bone containing a structure of osteons and lamellae | Compact Bone |
Cancellous or Trabecular bone found in the epiphysis | Spongy Bone |
Runs parallel to the surface of the bone. Contains one or more blood vessels that carries blood to and from the osteon. | Central Canal or Haversian Canal |
Occurs at the ankle and affects both bones of the leg. | Pott Fracture |
Type of fracture that shatter the affected area into a multitude of bony fragments. | Comminuted Fracture |
Type of fracture that breaks the bone shaft across its long axis | Transverse Fracture |
Fractures that are produced by twisting stresses that spread alonf the length of the bone. | Spiral Fracture |
Fractures: A.)produces new and abnormal bone arrangements. B.) retains the normal alignment of the bones or fragments | Displaced Fractures/ Nondisplaced |
A break in the distal portion of the radius, is typically the result of reaching out to cushion a fall. | Colles Fracture |
Fracture where only one side for the shaft is broken, and the other is bent. This fracture generally occurs in children, whose long bones have yet to ossify fully. | Greenstick Fracture |
Fracture that occurs where the bone matrix is undergoing calcification and chondrocytes are dying. A clean traverse fracture along these lines heals well. fractures between the epiphysis and the epiphyseal cartilage can perm. stop growth at site. | Epiphyseal Fracture |
Fracture that occurs in vertebrae subjected to extreme stresses. | Compression Fracture |
