Bone tissue/other info Flashcards
What tissue
Compact bone
What structure
Osteon (Haversian system)
What structure
Central (Haversian) canal
What cell type
Osteocyte (in lacuna)
What structure
(containing cytoplasmic extensions of osteocytes) Canaliculi
What structure
(containing blood vessels and nerves)
Perforating (Volkmann’s) canal
What structure
(Containing blood vessels and nerves)
Central (Haversian) canal
What tissue
Spongy (cancellous) bone
Concentric rings of calcified material
Lamellae
What structure
Diaphysis
What structure
Epiphysis
Know both pictures
What Cavity
Medullary cavity
(filled with yellow bone marrow)
What tissue
Articular cartilage (composed of hyaline cartilage)
What tissue
Compact bone
What tissue
Spongy (cancellous) bone
(filled with red bone marrow)
What membrane lining bone surface
Periosteum
Know both pictures
Membrane lining cavity
Endosteum
Hematopoiesis
Red and white blood cell production
Produced in red bone marrow (found in spongy bone)
Calcium level
9 - 11 mg/100ml
Ca(ll) 911
Hypocalcemia
Low blood calcium levels
Hypercalcemia
High blood calcium levels
Organic components
(about 35%)
Extracellular protein fibers (mainly collagen)
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans (protein core with GAGs attached)
Without organic components bone will shatter
Inorganic components
(about 65%)
Hydroxyapatite – crystalline pattern formed by calcium and phosphate salts (obtained from diet)
Without inorganic components bone could not hold our weight
Osteogenics
Stem cells found in periosteum and Endosteum
Able to change into osteoblasts
Osteocytes
Mature bone cells
- Secrete chemicals that maintain the bone extracellular matrix
- Most abundant cells in the bone
- Spider-shaped
- Reside in lacunae
Osteoblasts
Bone cells that produce new bone through ossification (osteogenesis)
Become osteocytes when surrounded/trapped by bone matrix
