bone and ossification histo Flashcards
makes up the greater portion of the matrix
Inorganic elements – calcium, magnesium, and sodium
Ground substance is calcified – becomes hard and brittle
bone
organic elements of bone
(collagen, protein polysaccharide and chondroitin sulfate)
functions of bone
Internal support of the body
Attachment of muscles and tendons for locomotion
Contains the bone marrows – blood forming elements
Protects vital organs of the cranial and thoracic cavities
For storage of calcium in the body
types of bone based on the organization of its type I collagen fibers
lamellar
woven
type of bone
collagen fibers are arranged in an irregular feltwork
fabricated during periods of rapid bone growth
woven
type of bone
hypercellular, with large osteocytes and lacunae, distributed in a haphazard fashion, long axes follow the direction of the neighboring collagen fibers
woven
type of bone
higher mineral content than that of lamellar bone; deposited outside of collagen fibers
woven
type of bone
resist forces equally in all directions; weaker, less rigid, more flexible than lamellar bone (greenstick fracture)
woven
type of bone
collagen fibers are deposited in parallel arrays
lamellar
type of bone
synthesized more slowly, less cellular, smaller osteocytes and lacunae, distributed in a more organized fashion along the more regular collagen lamellae
lamellar
type of bone
process of mineralization occurs more slowly and continues long after the organic matrix is initially deposited
lamellar
type of bone
has greater rigidity and tensile strength, less elasticity than woven bone.
lamellar
FORMS OF LAMELLAR BONES
Cancellous or Spongy bone (substancia spongiosa)
Compact bone (substancia compacta)
LONG BONE
– thick walled hollow cylinder w/ a central medullary cavity containing the bone marrow
Shaft
LONG BONE
ends of long bones made up of spongy bone covered by a thin cortex of compact bone
Epiphysis –
LONG BONE
– separates the epiphysis from the diaphysis
Epiphyseal plate
LONG BONE
a transitional region connecting the epiphyseal plate to the diaphysis
Metaphysis
long bone
a layer of specialized CT w/ osteogenic potential
Periosteum
long bone
a thin cellular layer w/ osteogenic properties covering the marrow cavity
Endosteum
Found in the flat bones of the face and skull
Layer of spongy bone between 2 layers of compact bone forming an outer and inner table
diploe
