Ossification
Bone Structure
Bone Cells/Functions
Compact Bone
Bone Repair/Fractures
100

Is formed by intramembranous ossification 

The flat bones of the skull, clavicle, and cranium bones 

100

Dense irregular CT that surrounds the bone where articular cartilage does not. Also an attachment point for ligaments and tendons

What is the periosteum

100

Stem cells that derives from mesenchyme and are the precursor for osteoblasts, osteoclast, and osteocytes

What is a osteoprogenitor cell

100

Basic structure of compact bone 

Osteons 

100

Forms after blood is released from damage blood vessels 

Hematoma 

200

Is formed by endochondral ossification 

Long bones and axial skelton

200

The main portion of the long bone, holds the medullary cavity

Diaphysis

200

Maintains the bone matrix 

Builds bone matrix

Breaks down bone matrix 

Osteocytes

Osteoblasts

Osteoclasts 

200

Incredibly strong and dense. Provides protection, and support, and resists stress produced by weight and movement.

The importance of compact bone 

200

Bone penetrates skin

Bone stays in skin

Open

Closed

300

Derived straight form mesenchyme 

Bone 

300

A thin layer of hyaline cartilage that covers part of the epiphysis. Also where bones joint/form articulation with one another  

Articular Cartilage

300

How are osteocytes made

Osteoblasts become entombed in the bone matrix as it mineralizes

300

provides blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels from the periosteum to the osteon

Volkman's Canal 

300

Bone is in 3 or more pieces 

Comminuted 

400

Is the intermediate step before becoming bone 

Forming the cartilage matrix 

400

The region holding the epiphyseal plate where the diaphysis and epiphysis fuse together 

Metaphysis 

400

When ossification exceeds bone loss

During adolescence 

400

Houses osteoctytes

Lacunae 

400

Incomplete fracture most popular in children

Greenstick

500

Chondrocytes swell in the lacunae forming vacuoles 

The swelled chondrocytes compress the matrix 

The perichondrium is vascularized (triggered by blood vessel invasion of the cartilage template) 


Perichondrium-->Periosteum

500

Membrane that lines the medullary cavity 

The type of bone marrow in the medullary cavity 

Endosteum

Yellow Bone Marrow

500

When bone loss exceeds ossification

Older age 

500

communication canals between lacunae and provides routes for nutrients, oxygen, and waste from haversion canals to osteocytes 

Canaliculi

500

What does displaced fractures, open fractues, and comminuted frcatures have in common

Needs surgery
