HA&P Exam 2 -spring 2024 Wheaton
College.
Articular cartilage
covers the surfaces of bones where they come together to form joints. synovial joints
Articulation
joint, movement
Bone
Dense, hard connective tissue composing the skeleton
Canaliculi
Hairlike canals that connect lacunae to each other and the central canal
Cartilage
A connective tissue that is more flexible than bone and that protects the ends of bones and keeps them
from rubbing together.
Central canal
contains blood vessels and nerves
Compact bone
Hard, dense bone tissue that is beneath the outer membrane of a bone
Diaphysis
shaft of a long bone
Diploe
spongy bone in flat bones
Endochondral ossification
Process of transforming cartilage into bone.
Endosteum
membranous lining of the hollow cavity of the bone
Epiphyseal line and plate
between diaphysis and epiphysis of an adult bone. A disc of hyaline cartilage that grows during
childhood to lengthen bone. sometimes called metaphysis
Epiphysis
, the end part of a long bone, initially growing separately from the shaft.
Flat bone
thin and curved bone; serves as a point of attachment for muscles and protects internal organs Ex:
sternum
Fracture
to break (a bone)
Hematopoiesis
blood cell formation
Intramembranous ossification
process by which bone forms directly from mesenchymal tissue
Irregular bone
bone of complex shape; protects internal organs from compressive forces Ex: Vertebrae
Lacunae
small cavities in bone that contain osteocytes
Long bone
longer than they are wide Ex:femur
Medullary cavity
cavity within the shaft of the long bones filled with bone marrow
Osseous tissue
connective tissue in which the matrix is hardened by the deposition of calcium phosphate and other
minerals
Ossification
process of bone formation
Osteoblast
bone-forming cell
osteoclast
Bone-destroying cells
osteocyte
mature bone cell
