What is the primary role of red bone marrow?
Definition
to synthesize red blood cells
Term
What are the characteristics of compact bone?
Definition
Heavy, dense, strong
Term
where is compact bone found?
Definition
shaft of long bone, outside layer of all the bone
Term
What is compact bone composed of?
Definition
tiny, tightly compacted cylinders of bone called Haversian
Term
What does an osteonal system contain?
Definition
central (Haversial canal)
surrounded by circular flakes of bone called osteomal lamella which forms inner tube
Term
Haversian Cable contains?
Definition
blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves
Term
Osteocytes...
Definition
contact each other via canaliculi
Term
Define: Epiphysis
Definition
Extremities of bone, primarily spongy bone, provide lightness and strength, act as a shock absorber/lever
Term
Define: Diaphysis
Definition
Shaft, lies between epiphysis, contains medullary cavity and marrow, can cause an increase in diameter
Term
Define: Epiphyseal Plate
Definition
growth plate, layer of hyaline bone will increase length, layers of cartilage between end and shafts
Term
Define: Articular Cartilage
Definition
found on surface of compact bone where bone to bone contact causes wear and tear, reduces friction
Term
Define: Endosternum
Definition
lines all surfaces facing medullary cavity,
contains osteoblasts and osteoclasts
Term
Define: Periosteum
Definition
covers all bone except joint surface
heals fractures
Term
What are the layers of the periosteum?
Definition
1) Outer: fibrous tissue
2) Inner: osteoblasts, synthesize/secrete matrix, inactive in adults
Term
Define: Red marrow
Definition
common in younger animals, limited areas in older animals
synthesizes blood
Term
Define: Yellow Marrow
Definition
hard and fatty, stores fat, capable of converting to red marrow if needed
Term
Which marrow is more common?
Definition
Yellow
Term
Does yellow marrow have blood forming capabilities?
Definition
No
Term
What are the types of cells?
Definition
Osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes
Term
What is the role of Osteoblasts?
Definition
forms bone
produces bone matrix
calcification of the matrix
Term
What is the role of Osteocytes?
Definition
Mature bone cell
maintain bone matrix
can be recruited to become osteoblasts
Term
What is the role of Osteoclasts?
