Bone Healing II Flashcards
Two types of bone
Cortical and cancellous
Two words that describe cortical bone
Dense and compact
Cortical bone is most often found in bones that are ______ __________
Load bearing
4 words that describe cancellous bone
less dense, lattice-like bone
Cancellous bone is not as strong as cortical bone but it is more _________ and may contain _____ ______
Vascular, bone marrow
What is cortical bone arranged in units of?
Osteons aka haversian systems
Osteonic consist of ______ layers of bone arranged around a central ___________ ___________
concentric, haversian canal
What does the haversian canal contain?
Blood vessels and nerves
What are interspersed between the concentric layers of bone in the osteons?
Osteocytes
What connect the haversian system together?
Volkmann’s Canals
Channels that run perpendicular to the haversian canals allowing blood vessels to travel from the outside of the bone to the center
Volkmann’s Canals
Cancellous bone consists of interconnected bands of tissue called ______
Trabeculae
Thicker trabeculae may contain _______
Osteons
Cancellous bone typically contains more irregularly arranged _________
Lamellae
Another term for cancellous bone
Trabecular bone
Bone building cells
Osteoblasts
Bone removing cells
Osteoclasts
Cells that reside in cavities within bone and reach through to network with other cells of the same type
Osteocytes
These cells within the bone transfer nutrients and wastes and send signals based on stress and strain
Osteocytes
Develop from osteoblasts that get trapped in mineralized bone
Osteocytes
Line the outer surface of bone
Bone lining cells
These cells direct mineral update and release in bone
Bone lining cells
Send signals to initiate bone removal and formation
Bone lining cells
To create bone, osteoblasts create _______
Collagen
Collagen is _____ but has little compressive strength
Flexible
What mineral is deposited into collagen?
Hydroxyapatite
Hydroxyapatite is ______ but brittle
Strong
These two combine to make a material that is both strong and flexible
Collagen, hydroxyapatite
Thick fibrous membrane that covers the entire outside surface of the bone except at the joints
Periosteum
The periosteum contains blood vessles and nerves as well as _________ _________ which will become osteoblasts
Osteoprogenitor cells
A thin layer of tissues that lines the inside surface of bone as well as the hollow space inside the metaphysis of long bones
Endosteum
A soft tissue that contains stem cells
Bone marrow
The two types of stem cells in bone marrow
Mysenchymal and hematopoietic
What 5 things do mysenchymal stem cells create?
Cartilage, bone, blood vessel, nerve, and fat cells
What do hemapoietic stem cells create?
Blood cells
Where is red bone marrow found?
Interior of flat bones, vertebrae, and in cancellous bone in metaphases of long bone
Where is yellow bone marrow found?
Inside the medullary canal of long bones
Define remodeling
The process by which the body continually replaces areas of old necrotic bone with new bone tissue
