Bone Tissue Flashcards
Function of bone tissue
support protect movement mineral homeostasis (Ca and P) blood cell production (red bone marrow) stores triglyceride (yellow bone marrow)
metaphysis
epiphysial plate (where diaphysis meets epiphysis)
medullary cavity
where yellow marrow is located (adipocyte generation)
embolus
a thing floating through the blood stream that shouldn’t be there causes a clot (PE)
-fat embolus can occur after fraction of a long bone that contains lots of fatty tissue
articulate cartilage
contains hyaline cartilage
-long healing due to lack of blood flow
periosteum
CT surrounding bone
- outer layer has dense irregular CT
- inner osteogenic layer for growth in thickness
appositional growth
growth in thickness of bone
sharpey’s fibers
think bundles of collagen that attach periosteum to underlying bone
endosteum
thin membrane lining medullary cavity (surrounds inner membrane)
-where bone forming cells are located
matrix of bone cell contains
15% water
30 % collagen
55% crystallized mineral (Calcium phosphate and crystals of hydrozyapatite)
hydrozyapaptite
combination of calcium phosphate and hydroxide
minerals contained in the bone tissue
calcium carbonate magnesium fluoride potassium sulfate
hardness of bone depends on
amount of mineralized salts
flexibility of bone depends on
amount of collagen
osteoclast derives from
monocyte (many come together-50)
used to reabsorb bone tissues
-primarily in endosteum
osteogenic cell
unspecialized stem cell derived from mesenchyme,
- daughter cells are osteoblasts
- located in periosteum, endosteum and blood vessel canals within bone
osteoblasts
secrete collagen and matrix
initiate process of calcification
osteoid
matrix of bone tissue
osteocyte
so named when osteoblast has matured and it maintains current environment
osteon
haversion systems-repeating unit of compact bone
lamellae
rings surrounding Haversian canal
- concentric (surrounding canal)
- outer circumferential (outer layer of whole thing)
- interstitial (in between concentric lamellae)
lacunae
spaces between concentric lamellae contain cell body of osteocytes
caniliculi
radiate in all directions from lacunae
-contain extracellular fluid
how do osteocytes communicate?
gap junctions
Volkman canals
connect central Haversian canals
trabeculae
found in spongy bone
consists of concentric lamellae and osteocytes in lacunae
have no central canals
where is spongy bone located?
interior of flat bones
short bones
irregular bones
sesamoid bones
what does spongy bone contain?
red bone marrow
which bone gets weakened first in osteoporosis
spongy bone
diploe
spongy bone sandwiched between layers of compact bone
trabeculae is organized so that it
resists stress without breaking
final arrangement of bone is finalized when
child is upright and walking
where is red bone marrow located in adults?
hip bones (pelvis) ribs sternum vertebrae proximal ends of humerus and femur
bone scan is read by looking at
hot and cold spots
- hot spots indicate metabolisms that absorb more tracers (cancer, healing fractures, abnormal bone growth)
- cold areas indicate decreased metabolism (weak area of bone, degenerative disease, decalcified bone, Paget’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis)
