Bone Tissues Flashcards
What are 5 parts of the Skeletal Structure?
Bone (osseous tissue)
Cartilage - at joint surfaces
Ligaments - collagenous bands that connects bone to bone
Tendons - similar to ligaments but connect muscles to bone
Bone marrow - Material in bone
What are 5 functions of the skeletal system?
Support - limbs, and vertebrae, think what holds your teeth
Protection - Brain and spinal cord, lungs and heart
Movement - Ventilation, leverage
Blood formation - Red blood cells and immune cells
Storage - Reservoir for minerals and fat
What is the function of long bones?
Most long bones are limb bone and are for leverage and movement.
What is the elongated midsection called of a long bone?
Dialysis (shaft)
What is the end of a long bone called?
Epiphysis (head)
Place where tendons and ligaments attach. Filled with spongy bone and bone marrow
What is articular cartilage?
It is hyaline cartilage that is 2-4 mm thick and found at the end of bones to ease joint movement. Does not have blood vessels or nerves
Where is the medullary cavity and what does it hold?
Found in the diaphysis of long bones and that is where the yellow bone marrow is found.
Periosteum
The outer sheath of the bone made up of a fibrous layer of collagen. The inner layer is osteogenic which is for growth.
Endosteum
Inner lining of bony wall, lines the walls of where the bone marrow is. Made of reticular CT
What are the two functions of flat bone?
Protective Plates - Sternum and heart , cranial bones
Attachment Surfaces for muscles - Scapula
How many layers of compact bone are in flat bone?
Two layers of compact bone surrounding the spongy bone.
What are the four types of bone cells?
What do they do and where are they found?
Osteogenic cells - Inner layer of the periosteum that is used to form more bone.
Osteoblasts cells - is a bone builder at the bone surface that is a single layer. Produces collagen and proteoglycans.
Osteocytes - Mature bone cells that are formed from osteoblasts. Most abundant type of bone cells.
Osteoclasts - bone crusher and re absorption.
Describe what an osteoclast looks like
Very large cell with multiple nuclei. Breaks down bone and reabsorbs is
What is bone matrix?
Found surrounding the osteocytes and lacunae. 1/3 organic matter (collagen to resist tension and bend without breaking)
2/3 inorganic used for strength and support.
What type of bone is arranged in cylinders?
Compact bone.
Each cylinder is called a osteon that run longitudinally though the shaft
Has blood vessels ad nerves
Concentric layers of deposited bone matrix
Lamellae (think individual tree rings)
What is found between the lamellae?
Osteoctyes
What is the difference between circumferential and interstitial lamellae?
Circumferential lamellae - Outer surface of the compact bone.
Intersititial lamellae - fills irregular region between osteons
What is the porous lattice?
Where is it found?
Made of trebeculae (thin plates) and spicules (rods or spines)
Makes up the hard part of spongy bone.
Describe the hard parts of spongy bone
Space where bone marrow and blood vessels are found. Lacks ostenons and central canals. Provides strength while also being light weight. They will arrange and compact more around stress lines.
What fills cavities of long bones?
Bone marrow that is made up of soft tissue.
