Term
Hemopoiesis Also called Hematopoiesis
Definition
Blood Cell Formation in Bone Marrow
[image]
Term
Osteoblasts
Definition
Bone builders. Repair and remodeling of bone.Deposits bone matrix. Calcitonin stimulates Osteoblasts.
Osteoblasts strengthens bone and makes it heavier.

Term
Osteoclasts
Definition
Bone destroyers. Lightens and weakens bones. Less dense bones. Calcified cartilage matrix or calcified bone matrix removed.

Term
Lamella(e)
Definition
layers of bone matrix
[image]
Term
Calcitonin
Definition
A hormone that moves Calcium into the bone.

Term
Lacuna(e)
Definition
Little lakes that contain osteocytes.

Term
Articular Cartilage
Definition
Where two bones articulate. The cartilage is here to lubricate joint movement but had to give up the necessary strength to be smooth.
Term
fibrous cartilage
Definition
thick bonds of cartilage bonded together and designed to be strong. Connects bone joints together!
Term
hyaline cartilage
Definition
"a translucent bluish-white type of cartilage present in the joints, the respiratory tract, and the immature skeleton." Looks glossy and smooth. Has lacunae and chondrocytes just like compact bones and the structure is actually very similar because compact bone comes from cartilage.
Term
elastic cartilage
Definition
Not a part of the skeletal system and is found only in skin! Contains the protien elastin which gives it it's properties. It's string/spring-like.
Term
E Coli.
Definition
bacteria in your intestine that makes Vitamin D and normally causes no harm but some strands can cause food poisoning, especially elderly people and children.
Term
Osteoporosis
Definition
Brittle bones because of the loss of bone matrix and has many causes.
Term
Synovial Capsule
Definition
Filled with Synovial fluid for circulation and lubriction. What does this mean? The Synovial Capsule is initiated by movement and is involved with circulation. The Synovial Capsule moves inside to outside to inside when people move their joints. While it moves, it picks up nutrients from blood and delivers it to the Synovial membrane and joint when it circulates back to the inside of the joint.
Term
Caniculus(i)
Definition
Carry nutrient rich fluids to the lacunae. Weakens bone a little, carries some Oxygen.
Term
Osteocyte.
Definition
Latin meaning; Bone cell. when Osteoblasts are surrounded by bone matrix.
Term
Haversian System
Definition
How blood is carried to the bone without making the bones weaker.
Term
endosteum
Definition
surface of medullary cavity lined with a thin connective tissue membrane.
Term
rickets
Definition
Caused by Vitamin D deficiency and prevents you from absorbing Calcium from your food into your blood? A disease of children.
Term
what are two things that stimulate Osteoblasts?
Definition
Estrogen and Calcitonin
Term
synovial membrane
Definition
"A layer of connective tissue that lines the cavities of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae and makes synovial fluid"
Term
Synovial fluid
Definition
A "transparent...fluid...secreted by a membrane of an articulation, bursa, or tendon sheath". Also called "joint fluid" or "synovia".
Term
Collagen
Definition
Literally means glue producing. A tough, rope -like protien. Collagen is the bodies solution for places/areas of the body that need flexible strength, keeping the bones as strong as possible but as light as possible. A flexible protien.
Term
Hydroxyapatite
Definition
Calcium phosphate crystals that makes up the mineral in bone.
Term
mineral in bone
Definition
"a solid inorganic substance of natural occurrence"
Term
Bone matrix
Definition
the material that makes bones strong. Composed of hydroxyapatite, Calcium and Collagen, a flexible protien.
Term
Where are capillaries bad?
Definition
In bone joints and eyes.
Term
Periosteum
Definition
"a dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints."
Term
epiphyseal plate
Definition
growth plate at the end of bones. Will fall of
Term
Osteopenia
Definition
"reduced bone mass of lesser severity than osteoporosis."
Term
Haversian canal
Definition
Contains the blood vessel
Term
epiphyseal line
Definition
When bone growth stops, the cartilage of the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone and will not fall off as a skeleton decomposes.
Term
skellie
Definition
my cutsie word for skeleton. Try saying it in a feminine and slightly British accent. You'll see why it's such a cute word to use! Try it!:) Especially if you're a boy because that would be even more funny!
Term
