bone Flashcards
what is woven bone ( non lamellar bone)
- features and location
- what is it also known as
features: irregular and random arrangement of cells and collagen that is lightly calcified
location: developing and growing bones, hard callus of bone fractures
- also know as immature or primary bone
what is the first bone to be produced and what is it replaced by?
woven bone and is replaced by lamellar bone
what is lamellar bone
- features and location
- what is it also known as
- parallel bundles of collagen in thin layers (lamellae) with regular spaced cells between, heavily calcified
- all normal regions of adult bone
- mature - secondary bone
what is the first version of lamellar bone and what does it turn into?
first version is trabecular bone and is then remodeled ( not always) into compact bone
what is another term vergil may use for trabecular bone
cancellous/spongy bone
there are places in our organs where ______ bone is present and houses bone marrow
trabecular
where does hematopoiesis occur
in trabecular /spongy bone
what is compact bone
- features and location
- what is it also known as
- parallel lamellae or densely packed osteons, with interstitial lamellae
- thick, outer region ( beneath the periosteum) of bones
- cortical bone
what percent of lamellar bone is compact bone
- 80%
what is cancellous bone?
- features and location
- what is it also known as
- interconnected thin spicules or trabeculae covered in endosteum,
- inner region of bones, adjacent to marrow cavities
- spongy, trabecular, medullary bone
bone anatomy:
what is the functional unit of cortical/compact bone
osteons - composed of tiny muli-layered cylinders
what are lamellae
layers of the osteon
what is at the center of the osteon and what is the function
What does it deliver nutrients to
Haversian canal - it is the nutritious central canal to which blood vessels and nerves run
- they deliver nutrients to the osteocytes
lacunae
-what is and what is present here
small spaces between lamellae that hold bone cells
- which cells are responsible for forming bone
- what do they get trapped in
- what do they become when they are trapped
- osteoblasts
- get trapped in lacunae and mature into osteocytes
how do osteocytes communicate?
What do they have
- through processes which have gap junctions
canaliculi
small channels that connect lacunae and haversian canal
where do the processes of osteocytes run through?
- how do these channels allow osteocytes to recieve nutrients
canaliculi which are made of CT that allow osteocytes to receive nutrients
volkmann’s canal
runs perpendicular to the osteons and connect the haversian canal to the periosteum ( outer layer of bone ), which provides nutrients
what is the major function of the volkman canna ( virgil says this is really important !!)
- is the source of the creation of the vascular network in bone and allows for the migration of blood cells, once mature, out of trabecular bone.
what is the path of the volkmann canal
periosteum > compact> trabecular bone
what is the periosteum
- what are its layers
- it is the vascularized dense IR CT that lines the compact/ corticol bone.
- outer - collagen and blood vessels penetrate the volkmans canal
- inner - osteoprogenitor cells
what part of the bone does periosteum not cover
- covers bone except at the articular surface and the tendon/ligament insertions
what is endosteum
- CT that lines the medullary cavity and cvities within the spongy bone of the epiphyses
what are the 3 types of lamellae in spongy bone
- concentric lamellae
- interstital lamellae
- circumferential lamellae ( runs outside to inside of compact bone)
what are osteoclasts and where are they housed
- giant multincleated cells that eat and resorb bone and bring Ca back into the blood
- housed in howship lacunae
