Bone Quiz 1/2 (Development and on is quiz 2) Flashcards
1
Q
Bone compostion
A
- organic component
- inorganic component
- all bones, regardless of shape have the same composition
2
Q
organic component of bones
A
- mineralized
- 25% of dry weight
- tensile strength (tension, torsional)
- allows bones to bend a bit without snapping
- osteoid (collagen) primary component
- cells and fibers
- cells secondary component:
- osteoblasts- bone forming, lays down osteoid
- osteocytes- maintenance
- osteoclasts- resorption
3
Q
osteocytes
A
- become trapped in the bone matrix (lacunae)
- maintain bone health
4
Q
osteoclasts
A
- removes bones so it can be replaced
- important for bone health
- so it doesnt become brittle
- macrophages
5
Q
inorganic component of bone
A
- 65% of dry weight
- ground substance
- compressional strength- thick, strong
- calcium primary component
- crystalline structure
- hydroxyapatite crystals
6
Q
if 65% of bone weight is inorganic ground substance and 25% includes fibers and cells, what does the other 10% represent
A
- water
- fluid
- fibers
- cells
- ground substance
- bone is connective tissue
7
Q
organic component: cells
A
-osteoregenerator
form osteoblast
-osteocyte forms after being trapped in lacunae
-osteoclast
8
Q
organic component: osteoid
A
- before it is mineralized
- collagen fibers
- mineralization occurs between the collagen fibers and takes the crystalline structure form
9
Q
inorganic component: crystalline structure
A
- after mineralization
- crystalline structure
- hydroxyapatite crystals
10
Q
bone is dynamic
A
- responds to growth and sex hormones (growth)
- responds to fracture (healing)
- responds to plasma calcium levels (Ca homeostasis)
- responds to stress (modeling and remodeling)
- it is able to be so dynamic bc it is dynamic
11
Q
bone structure
A
- structural support for the rest of the body
- a substrate to act upon: movement, breathing
- space for hemopoiesis- blood cell formation
12
Q
which of the following bones serve to protect thorax organs like the lungs
A
- ribs
- sternal
13
Q
bone protection
A
- skull: brain, sense organs..
- ribcage: thorax organs
- pelvis: pelvic organs
14
Q
hemopoiesis
A
- formation of blood cellular components
- stem cells within RED marrow can differentiate into many cell types
- erythrocytes- RBC
- leukocytes- WBC
- osteoclasts- bone resorbing cells (macrophages)
- YELLOW marrow is mostly a site of fat storage
- red marrow is found in cancellous portions of flat bones, vertebral bodies, and long bone epiphyses
15
Q
Calcium homeostasis
A
- Ca is necessary for many biological functions
- hormone synthesis
- motor nerve function
- muscle contraction
- bone is the major reservoir of calcium
- low circulating calcium levels will trigger bone resorption to release calcium
- low plasma Ca level: parathyroid releases parathyroid hormone -> produces osteoclasts
- high plasma Ca level: thyroid releases calcitonin -> produces osteoblasts
16
Q
structural failure
A
- fractures
- joint reconstruction
- disorders/diseases
17
Q
fractures
A
-millions of fractures per year in the US with 5-10% represnetion difficult fractures
