Bone Function
The primary functions of bones
Support, movement, mineral storage, produce blood cells
What are the 2 types of bone growth
Appositional and interstitial
I am tough but flexible tissue that is resistant to tension
Cartilage
Bone shape is classified into these 4 categories
Long, irregular, short, flat
Tissue located in the spongy bone that produce red blood cells
Red bone marrow
A remodeling of the bone done by this specialized cell that secretes new bone
Osteoblasts
Name the 3 types of cartilages
Hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
This bone shape has a femur, a tibia, and an occasional sense of humor.
Long bone
I’m the structure of the bone that gives it, it’s smooth white appearance.
Cortical bone (compact bone)
This kind of bone can be repaired between every 3-4 years
Spongy bone
Cartilage that provides flexibility which is found in the earlobes, epiglottis and ears.
Elastic cartilage
Found in the vertebrae, coxal bones and have unique shape for specific functions
Irregular bones
These type of bone cells are found in bone tissues
Osteocytes
This common bone disorder affects strength and integrity of the bone, often found in women.
Osteoporosis
This type of cartilage is found in synovial joints, bone-to bone articulations and costal cartilage of the ribs
Hyaline cartilage
These bones are usually found in the wrist, ankle providing support and flexibility
Short bones
I’m superficial and irregular. But I’m tough and composed of dense connective tissue richly supplied with blood vessels and nerves
Periosteum
Classified based on its nature, displaced vs. non-displaced, incomplete vs. complete, open vs. closed
Fractures
This shock-absorbing cartilage takes a massive amount of pressure everyday—making it the ultimate “flexible under pressure” teammate of the skeletal system
Fibrocartilage
This structure is found at the end of long bones
Epiphysis
