AN SC 300 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Autocrine Signalling, Ester, Lipoprotein Lipase
Document Summary
Animal science 300 exam 3 study guide. Joints where bones come together allowing movement: long bones greater length than width, hollow, short bones equal length and width, flat bones thin shapes/structure. Irregular bones don"t fit into the other categories: axial skeleton. Bones in head and trunk of body including skull, inner ear, chest, vertebrae. Bones in pelvis, shoulder, girdle, arms, legs. Bone tissue types: cortical (compact or lamellar bone) Multiple stacked cells (osetons: cancellous (spongy or trabecular) bone. Less dense bone interior: medullary bone. Collagen vs. cartilage: collagen = most abundant protein in the body, cartilage = supportive connective tissue comprised mostly of collagen. Cartilage: cartilage matrix is a template for bone formation, and then is later mineralized and ossified, lengthening of bones occurs at the growth plate and involved cartilage production. Types of bone formation: articular cartilage is located at the ends of bones, endochondral ossification replaces prenatal cartilage with bone.
