Skeletal System
11
Periosteum: A dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints.
Cartilage: Firm, whitish, flexible connective tissue found in various forms in the larynx and respiratory tract.
Joint: A structure in the human body at which two parts of the skeleton are fitted together.
Ligament:A short band of tough, flexible, fibrous connective tissue that connects two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint.
Movable Joint: A joint in which the opposing bony surfaces are covered with a layer of hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage and in which some degree of free movement is possible.
Immovable Joint: A union of two bones by fibrous tissue, such as a syndesmosis or gomphosis, in which there is no joint cavity and little motion is possible.
Synovial Fluid: Synovial fluid is a viscous, non-Newtonian fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints.
Compact Bone: The compact noncancellous portion of bone that consists largely of concentric lamellar osteons and interstitial lamellae.
Spongy Bone: Bone in which the spicules form a latticework, with interstices filled with embryonic connective tissue or bone marrow.
Osteoclasts: One of the large multinuclear cells in growing bone concerned with the absorption of osseous tissue, as in the formation of canals.
Osteoblasts: A bone-forming cell.
