CHAPTER 6

BONES AND BONE TISSUE

 

1.      Using Chapter 4, compare the extracellular matrix of osseous tissue to that of cartilage.

2.      Describe the shape and recognize examples of long, short, flat and irregular bones.

3.      List and describe the functions of bones.

4.      State the functions of articular cartilage, periosteum, endosteum, yellow marrow and red marrow. 

5.      State the location of yellow and red marrow within adult long bones. 

6.      Trace the route of blood traveling in compact bone from the periosteum to osteocytes.

7.      Differentiate between spongy and compact bone with regard to location in an adult long bone.

8.      Differentiate between spongy and compact bone by structure and function.

9.      Define hydroxyapatites and state their purpose in bone.

10.    Define and summarize the general functions of bone markings.

11.    Define ossification. 

12.    State the composition of the embryo's "skeleton" prior to ossification.  

13.    State the purpose of mesenchymal cells involved in ossification. 

14.    Describe the process of intramembranous ossification. 

15.    State whether long or flat bones are produced by intramembranous ossification.

16.    Describe the process of endochondral ossification. 

17.    State whether long or flat bones are produced by endochondral ossification.

18.    State where hyaline cartilage remains in a bone that has developed by endochondral ossification.

19.    Explain how long bones grow in length. 

20.    Describe the fate of the epiphyseal plate. 

21.    Describe bone remodeling to the depth covered in lecture.  You will not be tested on the control of remodeling. 

22.    Define osteoporosis and briefly describe osteoporotic bones. 

23.    Explain why vertebrae are vulnerable to osteoporosis. 

24.    State common causes of osteoporosis. 

25.    State how the onset of osteoporosis can be delayed.

     long bone

          articular cartilage

          epiphysis

          epiphyseal line

          diaphysis

          medullary cavity

          periosteum
