Bone Flashcards
Bone is what kind of tissue? is is avascular?
connective tissue. vascular living tissue
functions of bone tissue are…..
movement and support of body by spine
storage and release of calcium and PO4 ions (homeostatic mechanism, uses when ca lvls too low)
blood cell formation occurs in bone marrow, what is it called
hematopoiesis
what is the composition:
inorganic salts ____%
ground substance_____ %
65-75% (ca hydroxyapaptite)
30-35% (organic part)
-10% proteoglycans and 90% type 1
what are the 2 types of bone
compact (outsides of bones)
cancellous (spongy) trabeculae
lamellar are…
mature bone
parts of bone are:
diaphysis is……
metaphysis is….
epiphysis is…..
main part of bone
growth plate btwn epiphysis and metaphysis (bone that is still growing)
end part
articular cartilage on the end is _____ cartilage for cushioning ends of bone
hyaline
long bone has what 2 types of bone
compact and spongy (trabeculae)
the joint between bones is what kind of cartilage?
in between the cartilage is what?
articular hyaline cartilage
articular cavity
the periosteium is ______ tissue. what does it contain.
immature tissue. it contains immature bone cells that cna repair bone or during development make the mature bone
what is the functional/anatomical unit of bone
osteons-haversian systems
what are osteons ? what do they have in the center?
concentric arrays of lamellae w/ osteocytes (mature cells)
in the center they have the haversian (central) canal that contains vessels, nerve, lymphatic
long bone has what kind of CT?
fibrous ct
volkmann’s canal (perforating canals) run ____ to haversian canals
perpendicular
what volkmann’s canals do to the blood
bring blood horizontally and then run vertially to be the haversian canals
volkmann’s cananls are central canals surrounded by _______ .
what are between them?
lamellae-rings of CT matrix
btwn the lamellae are lacunae for osteocytes
what are in between the rings of lamellae
osteocytes in lacunae
what is the central haversian canal for?
blood supply
what are canaliculi
small canals off of lacuna
what does the canaliculi do?
connects all lacuna and central canal which is bringning in oxygen for the osteocytes
*cancellous bone is not in this arrangement
