Bone Physiology Flashcards
trabecular bone, inner bone
spongy bone
dense bone (osteons), outer bone
compact bone
consist of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons and accounts for about 20 percent of body weight
skeletal system
rigid framework that support and protect the soft organs of the body
skeleton
bone that surround the brain to make it less vulnerable to injury
cranium
surround and protect the spinal cord
vertebrae
help protect the heart and lungs of the thorax
rib cage
contains large amount of calcium salts, the most important being calcium phosphate
intercellular matrix
released from the bones so that there will be an adequate supply for metabolic needs
calcium
when blood calcium levels are increased, the excess calcium is stored here
bone matrix
formation of blood cells, mostly take place in the red marrow of the bones
hematopoiesis
where red marrow is found in infants
bone cavities
limited to spongy bone in the skull, ribs, sternum, clavicles, vertebrae, and pelvis in adults
red marrow
Functions in the formation of red blood, white blood cells, and blood platelets
red bone marrow
Bone is comprised of (3)
cells
fibers
extracellular material
Two main types of bone tissue
compact
spongy
surrounds the spongy bone tissue
compact bone
Three types of cells that contribute to bone homeostasis
osteoblast
osteocytes
osteoclast
bone-forming cell
osteoblast
resorb or break down bone
osteoclast
mature bone cells
osteocytes
consist of closely packed osteons or haversian systems
compact bone
are a series of tubes around narrow channels formed by lamellae
haversian systems
consists of a central canal called the haversian canal
osteon
surrounded by concentric rings (lamellae) of matrix
haversian canal
where the osteocytes are located
lacunae
small channels that radiate from the lacunae to the osteonic (haversian) canal to provide passageway through the hard matrix
canaliculi
space inside the long bones
medullary cavity
main component of the bone
matrix
where blood vessels interconnect in the long axis of the bone
perforating canals
connect central canals to one another
volkmann canals
lighter and less than compact bone
spongy (cancellous) bone
Consist of trabeculae and bars of bone adjacent to small, irregular cavities that contain red bone marrow
spongy bone
Canaliculi connect to adjacent cavities instead of a central haversian canal to receive the blood supply
spongy bone
bone can develop by two processes
intramembranous ossification
endochondral bone formation
when osteoblast begin to make bone in mesenchymal connective tissue
intramembranous ossification
when osteoblasts begin to make bone in cartilage matrix
endochondral bone formation
woven bone, there is random collagen fiber orientation temporary bone that is removed or replaced with secondary bone
primary bone
known as lamellar bone, parallel collagen fibers arranged in layers, can become permanent but can be continuously remodeled
secondary bone
cortical bone, thick bone that requires internal blood supply; osteons
compact bone
known as spongy bone and cancellous bone, thin bone that can be nourished from outside
trabecular bone
Appears during development and repair; always looks trabecular
primary bone
Randomly oriented collagen fibers
primary bone
Temporary; usually replaced by mature lamellar bone or removed to make marrow cavity
primary bone
Can be compact or spongy/trabecular
secondary bone
Osteocytes in lacunae are between lamellae
secondary bone
arise from osteoprogenitor cells and these tumors are characterized by production of disorganized woven bone from mesenchyme
osteosarcoma
bone is deposited in connective tissue
intramembranous ossification
Type of bone development responsible for the formation of flat bones of skull and mandible
intramembranous ossification
Also responsible for initiation of bone formation in diaphysis in the bone collar
intramembranous ossification
Responsible for growth in diameter of long bones
intramembranous ossification
replacement of cartilage model with bone
endochondral ossification
Type of bone development for growth of length in long bones
endochondral bone formation
reserve of cells that will supply the other zones
resting cartilage
chondrocytes are actively proliferating, cells will appear in long columns
what stage
proliferation
