Bone Tissue Flashcards
Bone does what?
support and attachments for muscles
Continuously remodeling. Building new bone and breaking down old bone
Skeletal System is what?
framework of bones and cartilages
Osteology is what?
Study of bone structure and
treatment of bone disorders
Skeletons Basic Functions are?
- Support: structural framework for body
- Protection: organs from injury
- Assistance in Movement: attach to bones and when they contract, result in movement
- Mineral storage and release
* Minerals: calcium and phosphorus
* 99% of total body calcium - Blood cell production: RBM (a connective tissue) produces RBC, WBC, and platelets
- Triglyceride storage: Yellow bone marrow consists of adipose cells storing triglycerides (energy source)
What is hemopoiesis?
Process of blood making
How many bones in adult skeleton?
206
What are the five types of bones?
- Long bones
- Short bones
- Flat bones
- Irregular bones
- Sesamoid bones
Long bone consists of what?
- Diaphysis: shaft, or body
- Epiphysis: Proximal and Distal ends
- Metaphysis: Region b/w diaphysis and
epiphysis
* In growing bone, it contains
epiphyseal (growth) plate - Articular Cartilage: hyaline cartilage
covering part of epiphysis (bone articulates with
another bone). Reduces friction / absorbs shock - Periosteum: Tough connective tissue
blood supply, fracture repair, nourish bone ands attachment for ligaments / tendons - Medullary Cavity : Marrow cavity, Contains yellow bone marrow and blood vessels
- Endosteum: thin membrane that lines medullary cavity
Four Types of Bone Cells are?
Osteoprogenitor, Osteoblasts, Osteocytes and Osteoclasts
What is an Osteoprogenitor?
Genic = producing
Develop into osteoblasts
Osteoblasts
Bone-building Immature cells, Secrete collagen fibers
and other organic compounds to form extracellular matrix and initiate calcification
Osteocytes
Osteoblasts become embedded in extracellular matrix = become osteocytes Mature bone cells, Maintain daily metabolism of bones
Osteoclasts
Break down bone (bone resorption)
Hugh cells made from fusion of 50 monocytes (WBC)
Two types of bone tissue are?
- Compact bone tissue: dense bone
* On bone surfaces
* Compose bulk of long bone diaphysis
* Protection/support and resists stresses produced by weight and movement.
What are Osteons?
concentric lamellae arranged around osteonic (central) canal of blood vessels and nerves
