A&P1 Chapter 7 Lecture 3 Flashcards
Lamellae
Layers of the matrix, arranged in a concentric manner, surrounding a central Haversian canal
Haversian canal
Central hole within osteon, contains blood vessels and nerves
What is each lamella connected to others through
Canaliculi
Osteon
Structural unit of bone, contains lamellae, Central canal, lacunae, canaliculi, perforating canals, osteocytes
How are collagen fibeers arranged within lamellae
Corkscrew down the lamellae, like a helix, one direction in one lamella, opposite in the next
What is the function of collagen fibers in lamellae
Structural support
Lacunae
Small cavities, contain osteocytes
What are the canals that bring vessels and nerves of the periosteum to the central canals and deeper into the bone tissue
Perforating/Volkmann’s canals
How are volkmann’s canals oriented in relation to central canals
Right angles
What is the beginning of perforating canals
Foramina
What are central and perforating canals lined by
Endosteum
What part of compact bone is not arranged in osteons
Inner and outer boundaries
How do lamellae run in the outer and inner parts of the bone
Parallel to the bone surface
What are lamellae not in osteons called
Circumferential lamellae
What do circumferential lamellae surround
Compact and spongy bone
