Bone Flashcards
2 types of bones?
Compact
Spongy/cancellous
Functions of bones
Provides internal supports
Protects vital organs
Encloses the blood element in bone marrow
Provides a reservoir of ionic calcium for metabolic processes
What is the bone composition?
35% of protein/matrix
65% mineral salts
Other is Small amount of water
What is osteogenic cell?
Develops into osteoblast
What does osteoblast do?
Forms bone tissue
What does osteocyte do?
Maintains bone tissue
What does osteoclast do?
It function in resorption
Involved in destruction of matrix
Undergoes mitotic division and deferentiate into osteoblast?
Osteoprogenitor cell=mesenchymal stem cell
The synthesis of organic components of bone matrix?
Osteoid
The spaces where Condrocyte reside In?
Lacunae
Which substance in the bones is responsible for cellular duties(Exchange of nutrients n waste with blood)?
Canaliculi
Osteoclasts?
It is motile and multinucleated
They are derived from blood monocytes
Osteoclasts in contact with bone is divided into which 2 regions?
Ruffle border
Clear zone
What is ruffle border?
Portion that is directly involved in resorption of bone
Containing infoldings of the plasma membrane which increases surface area
What is clear zone?
It is where the osteoclasts attaches/adheres to bone matrix
Surrounds the periphery of ruffled border
What happens in bone remodelling?
The enzymes(lysosomal) are released by exocytosis and degrade the organic components of bone
The long shaft of bone?
Diaphysis (found in the middle)
Ends of bone?
Epiphysis(distal and proximal)
