Osseous Tissue and Bone Structure

longer than they are wide

thin with parallel surfaces

small, irregular; found between flat bones of the skull

complex shapes

small and thick

small and flat

Hard, dense bone tissue that is beneath the outer membrane of a bone

Layer of bone tissue having many small spaces and found just inside the layer of compact bone

tubular shaft that forms the axis of long bones

contains yellow bone marrow

expanded ends of bone

separates the diaphysis from the epiphyses; where the bone grows

calcium phosphate and collagen fibers

2/3 the weight of the bone; makes bone hard and able to withstand compression

makes bones flexible, tough, and able to twist and bend

form pathways for blood vessels; exchange nutrients and wastes

covers the outer surfaces of bones, consists of outer fibrous and inner cellular layers

mature bone cells in lacunae

bone makers

matrix produced by osteoblasts, but not yet calcified to form bone

mesenchymal stem cells that divide to produce osteoblasts

bone dissolvers

bone building and bone recycling must balance

structural unit of compact bone

contains blood vessels and nerves

carry blood vessels into bone and marrow

lamellae in an osteon

old, broken down osteons

circumnavigates the bone (outside)

no osteons and no blood vessels; trabeculae; space between trabeculae is filled with red and yellow bone marrow

connect the periosteum to the bone

where osteoclasts are found

immoveable joints; also called fibrous joints

slightly moveable; also called cartilaginous joints

freely moveable; also called synovial joints

a synarthrosis joint

an amphiarthrosis joint

short slipping or gliding; wrist

back and forth; knee or elbow

one bone rotates around another bone; radius and ulna

side to side; fingers

convex and concave areas; thumb

head of one bone fits into a cup-like cavity of another bone; hip

bones connected by thick fibrous tissue; allows no movement

bones connected by cartilage; allows only slight movement

bones separated by a fluid-filled cavity; allows variety of motion
