Bone Lecture Flashcards
What is bone considered?
a special CT with a mineralized matrix
What is bone a storage site for?
calcium and phosphate (hydroxyapatite crystals)
What is the major structural component of bone?
Type 1 collagen
How does bone affect blood?
It regulates blood calcium levels (calcitonin and PTH)
Two types of bone structural arrangement?
- compact (outside)
- spongy/trabecular (inside)
Osteoblast
- secretes dentin
- not fully enclosed in matrix
Osteoclast
- eats up dentin
- degrades and remodels bone
Osteocyte
- cell inside of the matrix
Structural components of dried bone
- calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite crystals) 67%
- collagen 28%
- non-collagenous proteins 5%
General Structure of Bone
- proximal epiphysis: articular cartilage
- metaphysis: spongy bone with red bone marrow
- diaphysis: medullary yellow marrow
- metaphysis
- distal epiphysis:
What surrounds bone?
- periosteum
- endosteum
What are the 2 layers of periosteum?
- outer fibrous
- inner cellular
Where are sharpeys fiber found?
at muscle entheses
What do sharpeys fibers do?
anchor muscle (and periosteum) to bone
What direction are the fibers of perichondrium and periosteum?
Parallel (except at muscle attachments; perpendicular)
Mature bone
- called lamellar bone
- can be compact or spongey
Immature bone
- called woven bone
- has more cells and a diffused arrangement
Ground bone preparation
- loses ALL organic components
Demineralized bone preparation
- loses ALL inorganic components
