bone Flashcards
The most dynamic structure in the body; greatly affected by nutritional and metabolic changes.
bone
A reservoir for calcium and phosphorus that undergo a constant flux in and out of the bone matrix.
bone
how does the bone respond to injury
by rapid healing
undergoes internal remodeling throughout life without changing its gross apeparance
bone
Bone cells are in contact with each other through cellular processes embedded in tiny channels in the hard bone matrix called
canaliculi
form a system of channels that provide a route by which processes from one osteocyte can contact those of adjacent ones and allow osteocytes to communicate with one another for passage of information, nutrients, and/or wastes from cells near blood vessels to the ones trapped in lacunae.
canaliculi
highly vascular and grows only by appositional method
bone
why do bones cannot grow interstitially
because of its rigidity due to mineralization
functions of bones
forms the skeleton of the body
provides attachment sites for muscles and constitutes the structural framework of the thoracic and abdominal cavities
it houses haemopoietic tissue and serves as reservoir for various minerals
bone
2 division of functions of bones
support and metabolism
the connective tissue sheath of bone which influences the function of bone
periosteum
the 2 components of the periosteum a
outer fibrous layer and inner osteogenic layer
composed of regular DWFCT (collagen fibers) and fibroblast
outer fibrous layer of periosteum
composed of stellate or spindle shaped osteogenic cells from the fibroblast cell line.
inner osteogenic layer of periosteim
surrounds the bone, except at articular surfaces and at many sites of muscle attachment
periosteum
the contents of the periosteum for maintenance of the underlying bone
sensory nerve fibers and a dense network of blood and lymphatic vessels
capable of rapidly producing new bone tissue,
the pluripotent osteogenic layer of periosteum
Bone cavities and canals are lined by
endosteum
this is much thinner than periosteum and outer fibrous layer is loose connective tissue rwathher than dwct
endosteum
responsible for internal remodelling of bone
endosteum
bone is derived from the
mesencgymal connective tissue
bone is consist of
bone cells and bone matrix
principal component of bone
intercellular substance
it gives bone the ability to to ressist snapping and breaking
collagen fibers
(20-30% of total organic material of bone
collagen fibers a
proteoglycans attached with GAGs
amorphous gel like matrix
the unmineralized matrix of the bone.
osteoid
form the osteoid
amorphous substance and collagen fibers
gives bones its
hardness and rigidity
mineralized osteoid
mineralization of osteoid is chiefly from
calcium phosphate and hydroxyl ions
type of bones has 65% mineral content and 35% amorphous substance and
collagen.
mature
matrix component which is a gelatinous mucopolysaccharide that binds the proteoglycans together into large aggregates.
hyaluronic acid
what type of collagen predominates in the matrix of the bone
type 1
what type of collagen is present in the bone
2,3,5,10
form the mineral component of bone
Inorganic salts which range from calcium and phosphate ions to more complex hydroxyapatite
located
in the holes and pores of the matrix collagen fibers
calcium salts
Due to ______, the matrix of bone is poorly
permeable to most nutrients which must subsequently reach bone cells by flowing through the lacunar-canalicular system.
calcification
boen cell components
osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, bone-lining cells,
osteocytes and osteoclasts.
Except for _____, cells found in bone represent different functional
phases of the same cell type
osteoclast
Osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into
osteoblasts
these are bone forming cells
osteoblast
synthesise the organic components of the bone matrix.
osteoblasts
when do osteoblast become osteocytes
after mineralization of the matrix
