Chapter 6 - Skeletal tissues and bone definitions

AB
perichondriumlayer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the skeletal cartilage; resists outward expansion of cartilage
perichondriumsource of blood vessels from which nutrients diffuse to the chondrocytes; thus limiting cartilage thickness
hyalineprovide support with flexibility and resilience
hyalineform articular cartilages
articular cartilagecover the ends of most bone at moveable joints
hyalineform costal cartilage
costal cartilageconnect ribs to sternum
hyalineform respiratory cartilage
respiratory cartilageskeleton of the larynx; reinforce other respiratory passageways
hyalineforms nasal cartilage ( supports the external nose)
elasticable to withstand repeated bending
elasticsupport external ear
elasticform epiglottis
fibrocartilagehighly compressible; great tensile strength
fibrocartilageforms in sites that are subjected to heavy pressure and stretch (ie menisci of the knee, intervertebral discs of the spine)
appositional growthnew matrix is secreted onto existing cartilage from cartilage-forming cells in the perichondrium
interstitial growthchondrocytes divide and secrete new matrix
axial skeletonbones of skull, vertebral column, and rib cage
axial skeletonfunctions to protect, support, and carry other body parts
appendicular skeletonbones of upper and lower limbs, shoulder bones and hip bones ( girdles)
appendicular skeletonfunction in locomotion and manipulation of the environment
long bonesall bones of limbs (except patella,wrist and ankle)
short bonesbones of wrist and ankle
sesamoid bonesform within a tendon
sesamoid bonesex. patella
flat bonessternum, scapulae, ribs, most skull bones
irregular bonesex. vertebrae, hip bones
compact boneexternal layer of bone
spongy bonea honeycomb of trabeculae where the open spaces are filled with red or yellow bone marrow
diaphysisshaft - has a thick collar of compact boen that surrounds a central medullary cavity
epiphysisexterior=compact bone; interior = spongy bone; are the bone ends
periosteumouter fibrous layer = dense irregular; inner osteogenic layer = contains osteoblasts & osteoclasts
nutrient foramennerve fibers, lymphatic and blood vessels enter the bone shaft through this opening
Sharpey's fiberstufts of collagen fibers that extend fron the fibrous layer into bone matrix to secure the periosteum
endosteumcovers the trabeculae of spongy bone and lines the canals through compact bone; contains osteoclasts and osteoblasts
red marrowfound in the cavities of spongy bone of long bones and in to diploe of flat bones
Haversian canalscontain small blood vessels and nerve fibers to serve the needs of the oseteons
Volkmann's canals (perforating)lie at right angles to the long axis of the bone; connect the blood and nerve supply of the periosteum to the central canals and medullary cavity
interstitial lamellaefill gaps between forming osteons and remnants of osteons
circumferential lamellaeextend around the circumference of the shaft
Osteoidincludes ground substance collagen fibers; contribute to the bone's structure and flexibility and tensile strength
Hydroxyapatitesmineral salts
