Term
Bone
Definition
second hardest substance in body, connective tissue
Term
Cells that compose bones
Definition
osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts
Term
Osteoblasts
Definition
cells that form blood (inner periosteum)
Term
Osteocytes
Definition
mature bone that live in lacunae
Term
Canaliculi
Definition
small canals or ducts
Term
Osteoclasts
Definition
cell destroys old bone to aid in the process of remodeling
Term
Ossification
Definition
hardening of the matrix (calcium and other minerals imbed into matrix)
Term
Lacunae
Definition
small, spindle-shaped spaces
Term
Functions of bone
Definition
support, protect, leverage, storage, blood cell formation
Term
Types of bone
Definition
Cancellous Bone and Compact Bone
Term
Cancellous Bone
Definition
light and spongy (tiny spicules)
Term
Compact Bone
Definition
heavy and dense, give strength (outer most layer of long bones)
Term
Periosteum
Definition
membrane that covers the outer surfaces of bone
Term
Endosteum
Definition
membrane that lines hollow interior surfaces of the bone
Term
Volkmann's Canals
Definition
channels through bone matrix, contains blood vessels (interconnect to Haversian systems)
Term
Nutrient Foramina
Definition
large channels in large (and long) bones, carry blood in and out of marrow (resembles fractures on X-rays)
Term
Intramembranous Bone Formation
Definition
bone develops from fibrous tissue membranes (only in certain skull bones)
Term
Endochondral bone formation
Definition
cartilage replaced by bone (most bones)
Term
Bone Marrow
Definition
fills spaces within bones
Term
Red bone marrow
Definition
hematopoietic tissue, blood forming (most common in younger animals)
Term
Yellow bone marrow
Definition
adipose connective tissue, can revert to red if needed (most common in adult)
Term
Axial Skeleton
Definition
located along axis of body, includes bones of the head and trunk (skull and vertebrae)
Term
Cervical
Definition
C1 atlas, C2 axis
Most mammals have 7
Term
Thoracic
Definition
Dorsal to thorax, # can vary within species, same # as pair of ribs
Term
Lumbar
Definition
located dorsal to abdomen region, large and bulk to support weight
Term
Sacral
Definition
Fuse to form single, solid structure (sacroiliac joint)
Term
Coccygeal
Definition
Bones of the tail
Term
Appendicular Skelton
Definition
bones of limb (scapula, humerus, ulna, radius, carpals)
Term
Thoracic Limb
Definition
front legs
Term
Pelvic Limb
Definition
back legs
Term
Carpus
Definition
knee in horses, humans = wrist
Term
Metacarpal
Definition
in between carpus and fetlock joint in horses also known as cannon bone
Term
Phalanges
Definition
individual bones that make up digits
Term
Digits
Definition
toe/fingers
Term
Regions of pelvis
Definition
ilium, ischium, and pubis
Term
Visceral Skeleton
Definition
os cordis, os penis, os rostri
Term
Articular surfaces
Definition
smooth areas of compact bone where bones meet each other (joints)
Term
Articular Cartilage
Definition
smooth, thin layer of hyaline cartilage that covers articular surfaces of bone
Term
Surfaces of bone
Definition
condyle, head, facet
Term
3 classifications of joints
Definition
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
Term
Fibrous Joints
Definition
Immovable joints (sutures of skull)
Term
Cartilaginous Joints
Definition
Slightly movable joints (invertebral disks and mandibular symphysis)
Term
Synovial Joint
Definition
Freely movable joints, protected by hyaline cartilage
Term
Movement of Synovial Joints
Definition
flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, rotation, and circumduction
Term
Types of Synovial Joints
Definition
Hinge, gliding, pivot, ball-and socket
Term
Axial Skeleton
Definition
skull, spinal column, ribs, sternum
Term
Appendicular Skeleton
Definition
pelvis, femur, tibia, digits, tarsi, and clavicle
Term
Manubrium
Definition
Most cranial sternabrae
Term
Sesamoid bones
Definition
bones present in tendons where they change direction markedly over joints
Term
Flexion
Definition
lessening the angle between two bones
Term
Extension
Definition
increases angle between two bones
Term
Adduction
Definition
movement of extremity toward median plane
Term
Abduction
Definition
movement of extremity away from median plain
Term
Rotation
Definition
twisting movement on its own axis
Term
Circumduction
Definition
distal ends move in a circle
Term
Haversian Systems
Definition
concentric layers of ossified bone matrix around central canal
Term
Diaphysis
Definition
the shaft or central part of a long bone.
Term
Epiphysis
Definition
the end part of a long bone, initially growing separately from the shaft.
Term
Antebrachium
Definition
From the elbow down
