Q

a projecting process

25
bones of the skeletal system may be classified in 4 ways:
- region where they are found - histological origin - shapes - disposition of the bone matrix - embryonic development
26
histological origin varies as
- endochondral - membranous
27
shapes varies as
- long - short - flat - irregular
28
disposition of the bone matrix varies as
- spongy or cancellous - compact bone
29
this bone have lamellae in concentric with a central canal
compact bone
30
basic unit of compact bone tissue
Haversian system or osteon
31
Haversian system also includes the _____
Volkman's canal
32
compact bones are found in the diaphysis and periosteum of long bones like
- femur - humerus - tibia - bones of digits
33
middle layer or the shaft of diaphysis
spongy bone
34
ends of a long bone
epiphyses
35
spongy bone is also called
cancellous bone
36
spongy bone is found at the
- ends of long bones, called epiphyses - skull - bodies of vertebrae of the spinal column - ribs
37
based on embryonic development, bones can either be
- cartilage or endochondral - dermal or membranous
38
bone that develop by endochondral ossification
cartilage bones
39
cartilage bones are found in
- bones of the limbs - ribs - sternum
40
connective tissue consisting of resting cartilage cells, lying in groups or in isolation is spaces
cartilage
41
resting cartilage cells
chondrocytes
42
avascular connective tissue
cartilage
43
vascular connective tissue
bone
44
3 types of cartilage tissues
- hyaline cartilage - elastic cartilage - fibroblastic cartilage
45
- few or no collagenous fibers - numerous chondrocytes that divide interstitially - perichondrium is present
hyaline cartilage
46
- abundant in fibers where chondrocytes also occur in groups or in isolation - perichondrium is present
elastic cartilage
47
- has much collagenous fibers - very few chondrocytes that occur in parallel rows - perichondrium is not present
fibroblasts
48
these consist the hyaline cartilage
- young cartilage bones (nasal septum & ensiform cartilage)
49
found in the pinna or the elastic outer ear, epiglottis, and Eustachian tube
elastic cartilage
50
these consist the fibrocartilage
- intervertebral disc pads - symphyses of the coxae - connective tissue between the muscle and tendons
51
also called the fat tissue
adipose
52
this adipose tissue occurs in the nape and groin, as well as in the axilla
brown adipose tissue
53
this adipose tissue is deposited where excess organic fuel is stored for future use
white adipose tissue
54
ground tissue of soft organs like the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes
reticular tissue
55
connective tissue of the early embryonic stage retained in the umbilical cord
embryonic connective tissue
56
gelatinous material in the ground tissue which surrounds numerous seemingly spherical fibroblastic cells
jelly of Wharton
57
extracellular fluid in the body that is considered histologically as a kind of connective tissue in having a fluid extracellular matrix and the cellular components
blood
58
fluid extracellular matrix
plasma
59
cellular components
corpuscles
