Bone Flashcards
Functions of bone (5)
Support
Protection
Levers for muscles
Reservoir for minerals (Ca2+ and P)
Houses marrow cavity which is responsible for hemopoiesis
Aceullar components of bone (2)
Inorganic
Organic
Inorganic component of bone
Ca2+ and P in the form of hydroxyapatite crystals (65% dry wt)
Organic component of bone
Almost exclusively Type I collagen (35% of dry wt)
Cellular components of bone (4)
Osteoprogenitor cells
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
Osteoclasts
Where can you find osteoprogenitor cells
Located in periosteum, Haversian canals, and endosteum
Osteoblasts are derived from
osteoprogenitor cells
Osteoblasts function
Make/secrete osteoid (organic cmpd of ECM)
Osteocytes derived from
Osteoprogenitor cells
When osteoblasts become enveloped in osteoid they
Become osteocyte
Osteoclasts are derived from
monocyte/MQ
Osteoclasts are involved with
Resorption of bone (remodeling)
T/F Osteoclasts are motile
T
2 layers of periosteum
Outer dense fibrous CT layer
Inner cellular layer (where osteoprogenitor cells are)
Endosteum
- what is it
- what is it made of
Central cavity of bone with specialized thin CT layer
Made of osteoprogenitor cells and osteoblasts
Types of bone (2)
Woven (immature)
Lamellar (mature)
Woven bone (immature)-1sts
1st type of bone made during skeletal development and 1st type of bone to be laid down during fracture repair
Woven bone phenotype
Mottled appearance of matrix
Large osteocytes
Random orientation of cells
2 types of lemellar bone (mature)
Compact
Spongy (cancellous)
What system is observed in compact bone
Haversian system
