What is it that covers long bone except at its joint surfaces?
The periosteum
The periosteum covers the outside of bones. The periosteum is a membrane that covers the outer surface of all bones, except at the articular surfaces (i.e. the parts within a joint space) of long bones. Endosteum lines the inner surface of the medullary cavity of all long bones.
What is a strong fibrous membrane?
Periosteum. a strong fibrous membrane covering a long bone everywhere except at joint surfaces. Articular Cartilage. a thin layer of cartilage covering each epiphysis.
What is the strong fibrous membrane covering most of the long bone?
Skeletal System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Periosteum | strong, fibrous membrane covering bone everywhere except at joint surfaces (strong fibrous membrane covering most of the long bone) |
| Endosteum | thin membrane that lines medullary cavity |
| Osteoblasts | Bone Forming Cells |
| Osteoclasts | Bone Resorbing Cells |
Is the tough fibrous membrane that covers the shaft of a long bone?
The tough, fibrous tissue that encloses a long bone is called the periosteum. The periosteum consists of two layers.
Which of the following list all of the fibrous joint types?
The three types of fibrous joints are sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses. A suture is the narrow synarthrotic joint that unites most bones of the skull. At a gomphosis, the root of a tooth is anchored across a narrow gap by periodontal ligaments to the walls of its socket in the bony jaw in a synarthrosis.
What are long bones?
A long bone is a bone that has a shaft and 2 ends and is longer than it is wide. Long bones have a thick outside layer of compact bone and an inner medullary cavity containing bone marrow. All of the bones in the arms and legs, except the patella, and bones of the wrist, and ankle, are long bones.
What is the shaft of a long bone called?
medullary cavity. The shaft of a long bone is called the diaphysis.
Which of the following covers the diaphysis or shaft surface of a matured long bone?
The diaphysis is covered and protected by a fibrous connective tissue membrane, the perios- teum (per-e-os’te-um). Hundreds of connective tissue fibers, called perforating fibers, or Sharpey’s fibers, secure the periosteum to the underlying bone. The epiphyses (e-pif’ 1-sēz) are the ends of long bones.
What is the fibrous joint?
Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are joined by strong fibrous tissue rich in collagen. These joints allow for very little movement (if any) and are often referred to as synarthroses.
What are the 3 types of fibrous joints?
There are three types of fibrous joints: sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses.
Which of the following is not long bone?
QUESTION – WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A LONG BONE? ANSWER – RIB.
Where are long bones found?
Long bones are mostly located in the appendicular skeleton and include bones in the lower limbs (the tibia, fibula, femur, metatarsals, and phalanges) and bones in the upper limbs (the humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, and phalanges).
