What shape are osteoblasts?
Cuboidal
What do osteoblasts do?
Form bone
What is osteoid?
Mineralised bone matrix
Where are osteoprogenitor cells found?
Periosteum on top of osteoblasts
What is stroma?
Connective tissue
Where are osteoblasts found?
On bone surfaces
How do osteocytes communicate?
Cannaliculi and gap junctions
Function of lining cells?
To prepare the bone surface for resorption
What were lining cells originally?
Osteoblasts
Where are osteocytes found?
In lacunae
What are volkmanns canals?
The things that connect haversian canals
What are haversian canals?
Carries blood vessels and nerves through the bone
Compare cortical and trabecular bone
Cortical is outside trabecular bone and is more compact
Where do you find haversian canals?
Cortical bone
What is lamellae bone
Remodelled woven bone
What is woven bone?
Immature bone
What is an osteon?
Haversion canals surrounded by lamellae
Name the 3 types of lamella
Circumferential
Interstitial
Concentric
Where are osteons?
Cortical
Where are lamellae?
Both mature bone types
Where is hyaline cartilage found?
Articular growth plate
Epiphyseal joint
Where is the periosteum
On the edge of the bone
Where is the endosteum?
Lining each bone marrow space
What cells are there lots of in bone marrow?
Megakaryocytes
Macrophages
Lipid
Where are the osteo cells found in the endo or peri?
Periosteum
What happens to bone marrow with age?
Fills with lots of fat
