Bone 1 Flashcards
Cartilage and bone are made of
specialized CT with lots of EC matrix, cells, fibers, ground substance
Bone is made to
form the supporting tissues of the body and give you form
Bone is made of
Mineralized, rigid connective tissue
Functions of bone include:
1) Supports soft tissues
2) Muscle attachments to move body
3) Protects vital organs (good protector of dividing cells from sunlight)
4) Surround bone marrow (blood cell formation)
5) Reservoir of calcium, phosphate, etc (STORAGE)
Cells of bone are:
Osteoblast, osteocytes, osteoclasts
Bone matrix contains _____ and _____ material
Inorganic and organic **mostly inorganic
Inorganic matter in matrix of bone is
Calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, etc
Calcium and phosphorous form
hydroxyapatite crystals
Organic matter in matrix of bone is
Type I collagen, ground substance
Bone mineralized extracellular matrix
Metabolites can’t diffuse through the matrix so canaliculi are needed to allow communications among cells
Bones can’t grow INTERSTITIALLY
Decalcified bone sections (making histological slide)
-Acid solution removes calcium salts and softens bone
-Bone can then be embedded and sections
-Osteocytes are distorted
Downside: cells can become distorted
Ground bone sections (making histological slide)
Keeps things more in form
- Saw bone in slices and grind pieces down until they are very thin
- Cells are destroyed
Osteoblasts
Make bone
- Matrix (osteoid) synthesis
- Cuboid to columnar shape
- Basophilic cytoplasm
Osteocytes
- Derived from osteoblasts
- Matrix maintenance
- Found in lacunae
Osteoclasts
- Resorb matrix
- Remove matrix
- Large/multinucleated (5-50 cells)
Synathrosis joint
Limited/no movement
Amphiarthrosis
slightly moveable joint
Diathrosis
freely moveable joint
Fibrous joints
Connected by dense CT
Fibrous joint types:
1) Suture- non-moveable found only in skull
2) Syndesmosis: limited movement, b/w radius & ulna
3) Gomphosis- limited movement, only dentoalveolar joint
Cartilagnous joints:
connected by cartilage
