Bone Flashcards
Cell composition of bone tissue
Osteocytes
Osteoblast
Osteoclasts
produce the organic components of bone matrix (type I collagen fibers, proteoglycans and osteonectin)
Osteoblast
differentiated osteoblast that is singly enclosed in
Lacunae
penetrate the bone matrix and bind the periosteum to the bone
Perforating fibers (Sharpey)
covers small trabeculae of bony
matrix that project into the marrow cavities
Endosteum
the bulbous ends of long bone
are composed of cancellous bone covered by a thin layer of compact cortical bone.
Epiphyses
the cylindrical part is almost totally dense compact bone, with a thin region of cancellous bone on the inner surface around the central marrow cavity
Diaphysis
Types of bone
Compact bone
Spongy bone (cancellous bone)
Woven bone (primary bone)
Lamellar bone
Dense bone immediately beneath the periosteum
Compact bone
small bony trabeculae or spicules
Spongy bone (cancellous bone)
nonlamellar and characterized by random disposition of type I collagen fibers
Woven bone (primary bone)
characterized by multiple layers or lamellae of calcified matrix
Lamellar bone
refers to the complex of concentric lamellae surrounding a central canal that contains small blood vessels, nerves, and endosteum
Osteon or Haversian system
are transverse canals where canals communicate with one another.
Perforating canals (or Volkmann canals)
takes place within condensed sheets (“membranes”) of embryonic mesenchymal tissue.
