Q

What is the metaphysis?

A

Also called the growth plate region. This eventually stops growing (18-21) and becomes the epiphyseal plate.

Q

What is articular cartilage?

A

Hyaline cartilage that wraps around the ends of long bones in the epiphyses, distal or proximal.
Two sets of cartilage that make a soft joint when two bones come together.

Q

Where is red bone marrow located?

A

Epiphysis.

20
Q

What is compact bone?

A

Dense outer layer of bone

21
Q

What is spongy bone?

A

Internal network of bone.

22
Q

Why are our bones hollow?

A

Compression and tension are highest at the ends, necessitating spongy bone in the epiphyses.
In the middle of the bone, these forces tend to cancel out.
So, to maximize the strength while minimizing weight, bones can support a medullary cavity in the middle, making them hollow.
(Max strength and minimum weight)

23
Q

What is the endosteum?

A

Thin membrane lining the marrow cavity.

24
Q

What is the periosteum?

A

Tough membrane covering bone but not the cartilage.

25
Q

What are the two layers of the periosteum?

A

Fibrous layer

Osteogenic layer

26
Q

What is the fibrous layer composed of?

A

Dense irregular connective tissue

27
Q

What composes the osteogenic layer?

A

Blood cells and blood vessels that nourish or help with repairs.

28
Q

What does the periosteum cover?

A

The complete exterior of the bone except where articular cartilage is located.

29
Q

How is the periosteum connected to bone?

A

By collagen fibre bundles.

30
Q

What do the collagen fibre bundles do for the periosteum?

A

Allows tendons and ligaments to attach to bone.

Prevents these from ripping off during contraction and tension.

31
Q

Bone is heavily _______.

A

vascularized

32
Q

Ligament connects _____ to ______.

A

Bone to Bone

33
Q

Tendons connect ______ to ______.

A

Muscle to bone

34
Q

Anatomy of the bone reflects _______.

A

Stresses

35
Q

_______ and _______ are greatest at the external surface of bones.

A

Compression and tension

36
Q

Flat bones, short bones and irregular bones contain _____ _____ but no ______ cavity.

A

Bone marrow

Marrow cavity

37
Q

What is Diploë?

A

Internal spongy bone of flat bones

38
Q

What are bone markings?

A

Superficial surfaces on bones that reflect the stresses imposed on them.
3 categories.

39
Q

What are the three categories of bone markings?

A

Projections - for muscle attachment
Surfaces - that form joints
Depressions and openings

40
Q

How did bones end up with specific markings?

A

Evolutionary due to switching to bipedal movement.

Depressions and openings are for nerves, blood vessels, tendons, ligaments to penetrate.

41
Q

Bone, is a connective tissue which has ______ spaced cells separated by _______.

A

widely

matrix

42
Q

35% of bone is ______ components. 65% is _______ (more than one word)

A

organic components

inorganic mineral salts

43
Q

What is the organic component of bone made up of?

A

Cells, fibres (collagen), organic substances.

Abundance of collagen.

44
Q

What is the primary component of the inorganic mineral salts of bone?

A

Calcium phosphate

45
Q

What does the inorganic mineral salt component of bone provide?

A

Resistance to compression.

46
Q

What are the four types of bone cells in bone tissue?

A

(Osteo)progenitor cells
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
Osteoclasts
