Bone Flashcards
What does bone contain
cells, vessels, nerve fibers, ECM, and fibers
Function of bone
- storage depot for mineralize
- Make blood cells
- Supports
- Protects
What is the result of pressure applied to bone
bone resorption (breakdown)
What is the result of tension applied to bone
bone deposition (addition)
Long bone components
- Diaphysis (long cylindrical shaft)
- Epiphysis (bulbous ends)
- Medually cavity
- Outer aspect (shell)
Epiphyseal (growth) plate
made up of hyaline cartilage
allows the long bone to grow in length
Periosteum
external connective tissue of bone
Endosteum
inner connective tissue of bone
Outer fibrous layer of active periosteum
protective and supportive. Contains fribroblasts. Forms collagen bundles, contains blood and lymphatic vessels and nerve fiber
Inner cellular layer of active periosteum
allows for bone growth on surface of bone
contains osteoprogenitor cells
Early stage, immature bone cells
Osteoid
soft, organic, non mineralized bone
Sharpey’s fibers
run perpendicular to longitudinal axis of bone. Anchor periosteium to underlying bone to keep it from peeling/sliding off
What do osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into
osteoblasts
Inorganic componetnts of bone matrix
hydroxyapatite crystals (calcium phosphate) - man component bicarb, citrate, Mg++, Na+,K+
Organic components of bone matrix
Mostly type I collagen
proteoglycans
glycoproteins
growth factors
Osteonectin
binds hydroxyapaptite crystals to collagen fibers
