Question Answer
How are bones classified? Classified by shape as either long, short, flat or irregular bones.
Periosteum Connective tissue that covers the outside of the bone.
Long Bones Long and skinny. They have widened ends called epiphyses and a long shaft called the diaphysis.
Epiphyses Very ends of a long bone. Widened.
Diaphysis Long shaft of a long bone. Or the central part of a long bone.
Articular Cartilage Each epiphysis is covered by this, which protects the bone at the joint.
Why is the bone surface not smooth? It allows for muscle and ligament attachment and for joint surfaces.
What do long bones have inside? Have a medullary (marrow) cavity and 2 different types of bones: spongy and compact.
Spongy Bone Looks like a cleaning sponge, with holes in between strips of bone called trabeculae, which is covered by endosteum.
Trabeculae Is a small, often microscopic, tissue element in the form of a small beam, strut or rod that supports or anchors a framework of parts within a body or organ
Endosteum Is a thin vascular membrane of connective tissue that lines the inner surface of the bony tissue that forms the medullary cavity of long bones
Medullary Cavity Is the central cavity of bone shafts where red bone marrow and/or yellow bone marrow (adipose tissue) is stored; hence, the medullary cavity is also known as the marrow cavity.
Compact Bone looks solid but isn't. It is composed of many tree trunk-like structures called osteons.
Osteons Has a central canal for blood vessels and circular layers of bone surrounding the central canal.
Osteoprogenitor Cells Makes bone stem cells. Involved in osteogenisis.
Osteoblasts Makes bone. Involved in osteogenisis.
Osteoclasts Destroys bone. Involved in osteogenisis.
Osteocytes Maintains the matrix. Involved in osteogenisis.
2 Types of Bone Development Intramembranous Ossification and Endochondral Ossification.
Intramembranous Ossification Connective tissue membrane turns into bone. The bones of your skull are formed this way.
Endochondral Ossification Hyaline cartilage model of a bone turns into bone. The rest of the body's bones except for the skull is made this wat
What happens if breakdown is faster than buildup? Osteoporosis.
How does a bone heal if it's fractured? Via endochondral ossification.
Joints Places where bones meet. Has 2 other skeletal tissues: Cartilage and Ligaments. May be classified by structure or function.
Cartilage Is a resilient and smooth elastic tissue, a rubber-like padding that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints, and is a structural component of the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes, the intervertebral discs, and many other body components.
Ligaments A short band of tough, flexible, fibrous connective tissue that connects two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint.
Synovial Joints Most of the joints in your body. Has a large range of movement, and a fluid-filled cavity between the bones.
Some examples of joint disorders: Arthritis, sprains, bursitis, and tendonitis.
Some examples of skeletal injuries: Disk herniation, abnormal spinal curvatures, and bone fractures.
Flexion The action of bending or the condition of being bent, especially the bending of a limb or joint.
Extension Is the opposite of flexion, describing a straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts.
Rotation The action of rotating around an axis or center.
Abduction The movement of a limb or other part away from the midline of the body, or from another part.
Adduction Is the movement of a body part toward the body's midline. So, if a person has their arms straight out at the shoulders and brings them down to their sides, it is adduction.
Pronation The forearm turns the hand so that the palm is downwards or backwards.
Supination The palm is forward or upwards.
