Term
osteoblast
Definition
bone forming cells
Term
osteocyte
Definition
mature bone cells surrounded by bone
Term
osteoclast
Definition
cell that reabsorbs bone or takes it away
Term
collagen fibers
Definition
makes bone elasticity
Term
hydroxyapatite
Definition
makes bone rigid
Term
5 functions of bone tissue
Definition
1. structural support
2. storage for minerals
3. blood cell production
4. protection
5. leverage
Term
compact bone
Definition
dense outer exterior
Term
cancellous/trabecular bone
Definition
spongy bone on inside near ends
Term
osteon
Definition
a haversian system, structural unit of compact bone with central vascualr canal
Term
haversian canal
Definition
allows passage of nutrients vertically thru compact bone
Term
volkmanns canal
Definition
allows passage of nutrients horizontally then connects to haversian canals
Term
Lacunae
Definition
depressions for osteocytes
Term
canaliculi
Definition
allows different bone cells to communicate
Term
epiphysis
Definition
terminal ends of bone
Term
metaphysis
Definition
flared ends on shaft of bone
Term
diaphysis
Definition
shaft-structure in middle of long bone
Term
marrow cavity
Definition
in middle for yellow marrow, red marrow is in cancellous bone
Term
periosteum
Definition
thin tissue covering outer surface of bones not covered in cartilage; missing in dry bones
Term
endosteum
Definition
inner surface of bone lined with this cellular membrane
Term
nutrient artery
Definition
supplies nutrients to bone thru nutrient foramen
Term
tendons
Definition
attach muscle to bone, allow movement
Term
ligaments
Definition
hold bones in place & limit movement
Term
hyaline cartilage
Definition
on joint surfaces, rib cage, makes bone in embryo
Term
fibrocartilage
Definition
harder but allows for small movements
Term
3 types of joints
Definition
1. Synarthroses
2. Amphiarthroses
3. Diarthroses
Term
Synarthroses
Definition
fibrous- allow little movement (sutures on skull)
Term
Amphiarthroses
Definition
(cartilagenous)provide some movement, adapted for growth, at pubic symphasis
Term
Diarthroses
Definition
allow alot of movement
Term
Types of Diarthroses joints
Definition
1. Ball & Socket - hip and shoulder
2. Hinge - elbow and knee
3. Pivot - head and twist of arm
4. Gliding - wrist and ankle
5. Saddle - thumb
6. Condyloid - round surfaces ex. fingers
Term
Flexion
Definition
contract muscle
Term
Extension
Definition
extend muscle
Term
abduction
Definition
movement toward medial line
Term
adduction
Definition
movement away from medial line
Term
Rotation
Definition
rotating a joint
Term
Pronation
Definition
face palm toward self
Term
supination
Definition
face palm away from self
Term
eversion
Definition
toes curled
Term
inversion
Definition
toes raised
Term
dorsi flexion
Definition
on heels toes raised
Term
plantar flexion
Definition
on balls of feet
Term
protraction
Definition
move chin forward
Term
retraction
Definition
pull chin inward
Term
hyperplasia
Definition
increase in size due to multiplication of cells
Term
hypertrophy
Definition
enlargement of existing cells (cellulite and fat)
Term
renewing
Definition
osteoblasts produce new bone cells to mature into osteocytes
Term
modeling
Definition
bone growth on outside to make sure bone keeps shape
- osteoblasts generate new bone while osteoclasts degenerate bone to keep proper shape
Term
Endochondral Development (in mandible)
Definition
- hyaline cartilage model forms in embryo
- bone collar forms on outside
- marrow cavity starts forming in center
- blood vessels begin to nourish bone
- cancellous bone starts forming at ends of bone
- epiphyseal (growth) plate makes ends seperate from center but disappears as you age
Term
Intramembranous Development (in skull)
Definition
- membrane with osteocytes start to form spongy bone
- osteoblasts move to outside to form hard bone
Term
earliest bone to form?
Definition
clavicle
Term
longest and strongest growth?
Definition
shoulder wrist and knee
Term
third ossification?
Definition
elbow hip and ankle
