bones Flashcards
bone vascularization
highly vascularized
how many bone are there in the human skeletal
206
126 app
80 axial
cells of bones
osteo - cytes, blast, clast
osteoid
part of the ECM that is not calcified yet
ECM in bone
fiborous organic matrix permitted by inorganic salts
Osteocyte
mature bone cells, and are the adult version of osteoblasts.
- Osteoblasts
make bone tissue
- Osteoclasts
cells that break down bone matrix
necessary for bone maturation and bone healing
remove bone that we do not need
where do we see bones cells
embedded in the ECM
periosteum
the membrane of blood vessels and nerves that wraps around most of your bones
is the periosteum everywhere on the bone
no not on the articular surface of the bone
periosteum in young bone
thick and vascularized
what happens to the bone if it loses periosteum
subject to necrosis
types of bone
compact/cortical
trabecular/spongy/cancellous
- Cortical/compact bone force
resisting torsional, or rotational stress
- Cortical/compact bone local
surrounds spongy bone
Haversian system
functional unit of the compact bone
Haversian canal surrounded by concentric layers of compact bone tissue called lamellae
Metabolically active; the osteoblasts and osteoclasts are active
- Trabecular bone other names
spongy
cancellous
Trabecular bone force
compressive forces
Trabecular bone
the interior of mature bone
less dense than cortical bone
weaker than cortical bone
Highly vascular
Often contains bone marrow
How is spongy bone laid down in response to stress
disposed on line of stress of greatest compression - wolfs law
What happens if there is Decreased stress on the bone
bone will become weaker and lose density.
What is the response to stress does spongy or cortical bone change more
Primary change occurs in the trabecular bone.
Cortical bone can also remodel and become thicker
A reduction in bone density is called
Osteopenia
more force =
more bone
less force =
less bone
Principal compressive group in the femur
Supporting Bundle
From head of femur to inf neck
Secondary compressive group
Trochanteric Bundle
From lesser to greater trochanter
Principal tensile group
Arcuate Bundle
From inf greater trochanter to femoral head
Ward’s Triangle (Zone of Weakness):
area in the proximal femur that is particularly at risk for fracture
what do the proportions of cortical and trabecular bone depend on
The function of the bone
long bones
Thick cylinder of compact bone with few trabeculae lining inner surface
Expanded articular ends
femur
short bones
Small geometric shapes
trabecular bone covered by only a thin layer of compact bone – therefore, they’re well-suited to withstand compression
tarsals in the foot
flats bones
Thin compact layer surrounds inner layer of trabecular bone
Protective function
often play important roles in protecting other organs- the bones in in your cranium help protect the brain
Irregular Bones
Depending on their location and function, the proportion of trabecular to cortical bone varies
Thick trabecular bone where compression forces are greatest
Thick compact bone where torsional forces are greatest
vertebrae in your spine - Compression forces are very strong
Sesamoid Bones
Located within tendons - Housed entirely within tendons
alter the line of pull of a muscle, to give it more mechanical advantage.
patella - lives within the tendon of the quadriceps muscle
Bony Prominences
Protuberances on surfaces of bone
Site of mm attachment
Alters line of pull of mm
