Bone: Mace Slides 30-46 Flashcards
Compact Bone Tissue:
-is composed of ______?
- osteons (Haversian systems)
- Concentric lamellae
- External circumferential lamellae
- internal circumferential lamellae
- Interstitial lamellae
- Canaliculi
Compact bone tissue:
Describe osteons
- Small cylindrical structures
- Basic functional and structural unit of mature compact bone
- Oriented parallel to bone diaphysis
Osteons have a central canal and _______ canals
perforating canals (Volkmann canals)
Describe the central canal of osteons
- Cylindrical channel
- Lies at center of osteon and runs parallel to it
- Houses blood vessels and nerves
Describe perforating canals (Volkmann Canals)
- house blood vessels and nerves
- run **perpendicular to the central canals
- help connect multiple central canals within different osteons
Compact bone tissue:
-describe Concentric lamellae?
rings of matrix surround the central canal
Compact bone tissue:
-describe external circumferential lamellae
rings of matrix run immediately internal to bone periosteum
Compact bone tissue:
-describe internal circumferential lamellae
=rings of matrix run internal to the endosteum
Compact bone tissue:
-describe interstitial lamellae
=rings of matrix between osteons
if there are 2 osteons (the space b/w them is where interstitial lamellae is
Compact bone tissue:
-describe canaliculi= (list 4 functions)
-tiny interconnecting channels within bone connective tissue
extend from each lacuna, travel through lamellae
-connect to other lacunae and central canal
-house osteocyte projections permitting intercellular contact
-allow travel of nutrients, minerals, gases, and wastes between blood vessels and osteocytes
“eyelashes”=
canaliculi
Compact bone tissue: describe the cross section layout
- central canal in the middle
- around the central canal are the concentric lamellae
- canaliculi inbweteen (around each lacuna (with osteocyte)
Compact bone cross section:
- each osteon has a ?
- central canals are connected via?
- each osteon has a central canal
- perforating canals connect central canal to central canal
Compact bone (longitudinal section)
- Central canals with osteons
- perforating calnals connecting central canals
Spongy bone tissue:
- do they have osteons?
- describe this tissue
-No osteon
-Lattice of rods and plates called trabeculae
The space between trabeculae is filled with bone marrow
-form a meshwork of crisscrossing bars that provide great resistance to stresses
