what are long bones
longer in one axis than another; taller than wide, femur, phalanges
what are short bones
as wide as they are long; tarsal, carpal bones
what are flat bones
broad in one dimension flat in another; ribs, sternum, cranium
what are sesamoid bones
found in soft tissue. least common; patella
irregular bones
weird shaped; lots of sites for articulation. facial bones, vertebrae
where is the epiphysis
where is diaphysis
proximal and distal on long bone
the middle part
these are unique to long bones
where is articular cartilage found
found in all types of bones
what is the medullary cavity
primarily in the diaphysis. unique to long bone
compact (cortical) bone is
very tough, packed together. on the outside
Cancellous bone (spongy) is what
looks like a sponge. more in the middle of the bone
where is the periosteum
surrounding the bone primarily in the diaphysis(goes around the bone (perimeter))
NOT UNIQUE TO LONG BONES
where is the endosteum
lines medullary cavity (endosteum is not unique to long bones)
red marrow does what
produces all blood cells (not unique to long bones)
yellow marrow is
primarily fat; can be used for energy
osteocytes
present in cylinder of bone. builds bone matrix (extracellular matrix-inorganic salts, collagen
concentric rings are around the
central canal
the lacunae is a
gap around osteocytes
each ring is called a
lamellae
canals between bone that allow for exchange of nutrients is called
canaliculi THIS IS NOT PART OF CELL (gap junction)
Central canals run ——- in compact bone
Longitudinally
Perforating canals connect —- —- and runs longitude to them
Central canals
Only compact bone has
central canals. because only central canals have osteons
only spongy bone has
trabeculae
hyaline cartilage chondrocytes are found in the
lacunae
