diaphysis
the shaft, made of compact bone
epiphysis
the ends or extremities of a bone, thin layer of compact bone covering an interior of spongy
bone
medullary cavity
space within the diaphysis which contains yellow marrow (fat)
articular cartilage
thin hyaline cartilage covering the epiphyseal surfaces (joints)
periosteum
a fascia covering of a bone
fibrous layer
outer layer of dense irregular connective tissue (fascia)
osteogenic layer
inner layer of periosteum with many osteoblasts and osteoclasts
osteoblast
bone forming cells
osteoclast
bone absorbing cells
endosteum
thin connective tissue layer which lines the medullary cavity, and has both osteoblasts and
osteoclasts
skeletal functions
support, protect, storage, movement, hemopoiesis
hemopoiesis
(blood cell formation) occurs in red bone marrow
compact bone
covers spongy bone, it is dense and provides strength
osteon
the structural unit of cmopact bone
osteocytes
mature blasts that live in lacunae
spongy bone
consists of osseous matrix arrranged in a lattic work of little beams called trabecula
bone formation
osteogenesis, ossification
intramembraneous ossification
the formation of flat bones and some short or irregular ones. the fibrous membrane model of the
future bone is ossified
endochondral ossification
long and some short bones are formed this way, inolves ossifying a hyaline cartilage model of
the bone
calcitonin
(from thyroid) inhibits oseteoclasts therefore it slows reabsorption and encourages
calcium salt deposit in the bone matrix
parthormone
(from parathyroid glands) incresases both the number and activity level of osteoclasts,
therefore it accelerates the release of ca+ from bon
vitiman a
necessary for normal chondrocyte and osteoclast functioning
vitiman c
essential for collagen formation
vitiman d
necessary for the absorption of calcium everywhere
vitiman d
necessary for the absorption of calcium everywhere
rickets
childhood disease due to insufficient vitiman D, thus cartilage does not get calcified.
bones are soft and malformed
osteomalacia
adult version of rickets. same cause but in adult bones the result is demineralized and
brittle bones
osteomyelitis
all infectious bone disorders
osteoporosis
characterized by a decreases in bone mass, generally age related and there is a decrease in
activity of osteoblasts. results in porous britt
hematoma
broken blood vessels result in inflammation and blood clotting
fibrocartilginous callus
fibroblasts ccreate granulation tissue across the broken gap, meanwhile osteoblasts
migrate in and begin creating spongy bone
bony callus
continuation of calcification into spongy bone (2-3 months)
remodeling
turning spongy bone into compact and removal of excess callus
fibrous joints
bones are tied together by fibrous tissue with little or no space between them
cartilaginous joints
there is a cartilage bridge between bones ( joints that bend or flex)
synovial joints
the bones are separated by a fluid filled synovial joint cavity
fibrous capsule
outer layer of a synovial joint that is tough, it holds the bones together while permitting
movement
synovial membrane
lines cavity, secretes synovial fluid which cushions, lubricates and nourishes the
articular cartilage
osis
damage
itis
inflammation of
intervertebral discs
fibrocartilage shock absorbers between the vertebrae
annulus fibrosis
outer ring or covering of fibrocaritlage that holds the intervertebral disk in shape and the
bones together
nucleus pulposus
sof pulpy semi-fluid shock absorbin core of intervertebral disks
herniated disk
an excessive compression ruptures the annulus fibrosis allowing the pulposus to bulge ou and
extert pressure on the spinal cord and nerves
luxation
dislocation of a joint
sprain
stretching and or tearing of a joint's ligaments
strain
over stretching of a muscle, less severe than a sprain
sinuses
mucous membrane lined cavaties in the skull, many are open into nasal passages and thus to
infection
arthritis
generic term reffering to many different diseases which have inflammation in common, pain
and stiffness in a synovial joint.
osteoarthritis
minor inflammation, a result of wear and tear, cartlae damage and resulting mineralization
of articular cartilage, mostly weight bearing joi
rheumatoid arthritis
goes through stages beginning with inflammation of the synovial membranes and possibly
progressing to ossification of the joint, auto-immune
gouty arthritis
metabolic disorder in which uric acid crystals build up in soft tissues around joints
excitabililty
ability to receive and respond to a stimulus (neural or hormonal)
contractility
ability to forcibly shorten
extensibility
ability to be stretched or extended when pulled
elasticity
ability to return to original length after contracting or being stretched
epimysium
outermost dense connective tissue wrapping, binds muscle into functional groups while
separating them from eachother
perimysium
continuation of epimysium, bundles up groups of muscle cells
fiber
a muscle cell
sarcolemma
the fiber's plasma membrane
sarcoplasm
the fiber's cytoplasm
sarcoplasmic reticulum
a tubular network found insider a fiber, it surrounds and contracts all the individual
myofibirils
transverse tubules
connects the sarcolemma and the sarcoplasmic reiticulum (rus transversely through a fiber)
actin
thin myofilaments made mostly of a protein
myosin
thick myofilaments
z line
the ends where actin is attached
I band
region where there is only actin and the z line
H zone
middle region where there is only myosin
voltage
electrical potential energy which is due to the seperation of oppositely charged particles
motor neuron
a nerve cell which stimulates muscle tissue
motor endplate
the end of a motor neuron nd that portion of the sarcolemma it contracts
motor unit
the motor neuron and all the muscle fibers which it stimulates
threshold stimulus
the weakest stimulus from a neuron which will inititate a contraction
all or none principle
once stimulated muscle fibers contract completely, there are no partial contactions
tension
force produced by a muscle when it contracts
load
the force exerted on a muscle by a weight
isotonic contraction
muscle contraction where the tension is sufficient to move the load
isometric contraction
one in which the tension develops but resistance is too great and contraction is minimal
muscle twitch
the response of a muscle to a single, brief, threshold stimulus
atrophy
degeneration and loss of muscle mass. a state of wasting away
hypertrophy
an increase in size of the fibers due to increased demand, more myofibrils, etc. are produced
myoglobin
a red pigmented molecule found in muscle fibers, it stores oxygen until the mitochondria need
it for ATP synthesis
slow oxidative red fibers
high o2 storage fibers, slow ATP use, no lactic acid build up. very resistant to fatigue
