A&P Bones 1

Across
_________ cartilage thin layer of cartilage covering an epiphysis; reduces friction and acts as a shock absorber
connective tissue in the interior cavity of a bone where fat is stored
dense osseous tissue that can withstand compressive forces
The 206 bones that compose the adult skeleton are divided into five categories based on their ______.
Which of the following occurs in the spongy bone of the epiphysis?
Bone tissue can be described as ________, hard connective tissue.
where two bone surfaces meet
________ tissue- bone tissue; a hard, dense connective tissue that forms the structural elements of the skeleton
A _____ _____ is one that is cylindrical in shape, being longer than it is wide. Keep in mind, however, that the term describes the shape of a bone, not its size. These are found in the arms (humerus, ulna, radius) and legs (femur, tibia, fibula), as well as in the fingers (metacarpals, phalanges) and toes (metatarsals, phalanges). They function as levers; they move when muscles contract
Which cells do not originate from osteogenic cells?
delicate membranous lining of a bone’s medullary cavity
________ ______ is one that does not have any easily characterized shape and therefore does not fit any other classification. These bones tend to have more complex shapes, like the vertebrae that support the spinal cord and protect it from compressive forces. Many facial bones, particularly the ones containing sinuses.
Bone cells incapable of undergoing mitosis? (1 of 2)
The area of a bone where the nutrient foramen passes forms what kind of bone marking?
Yellow marrow has been identified as an area of _______ _________.
wide section at each end of a long bone; filled with spongy bone and red marrow
The fibrous membrane covering the outer surface of the bone is the ________.
Down
A ______ ______ is a small, round bone that, as the name suggests, is shaped like a sesame seed. These bones form in tendons where a great deal of pressure is generated in a joint. They protect tendons by helping them overcome compressive forces. Typically found in tendons associated with the feet, hands, and knees. Also the patellae (singular = patella).
hard, dense connective tissue that forms the structural elements of the skeleton
(singular = lacuna) spaces in a bone that house an osteocyte
One function of skeletal system.
The densely packed concentric rings of matrix in compact bone are ideal for resisting _______, which is the function of compact bone.
Bone cells incapable of undergoing mitosis? (2 0f 2)
production of blood cells, which occurs in the red marrow of the bones
Which function of the skeletal system would be especially important if you were in a car accident?
layer of spongy bone, that is sandwiched between two the layers of compact bone found in flat bones
longitudinal channel in the center of each osteon; contains blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels; also known as the Haversian canal
____ ______ is typically thin, it is also often curved. Examples include the cranial (skull) bones, the scapulae (shoulder blades), the sternum (breastbone), and the ribs. Flat bones serve as points of attachment for muscles and often protect internal organs.
Without red marrow, bones would not be able to make _______ _______.
The skeletal system is made of 2 types of tissue one is ________.
semi-rigid connective tissue found on the skeleton in areas where flexibility and smooth surfaces support movement
One function of skeletal system.
EPIPHYSEAL ______ - sheet of hyaline cartilage in the metaphysis of an immature bone; replaced by bone tissue as the organ grows in length
