Bones Flashcards
Functions of skeletal system ( BCLPSS )
Support Storage of minerals & lipids Blood cell production Calcium regulation Protection Leverage/ movement of articulations
Bone classifications
Long ( humorous ) Flat (partial bone ) Short ( carpal bones ) Irregular ( vertabra ) Sesamoid ( patella ) Sutural ( head sutures )
bone tissue
Two types
Compact bone: dense, glossy and bright
Spongy bone: open network trabecule, are no osteons
Compact bone
Has osteons
Located in shaft, putter surface
Has blood vessels, lamallae, canaliculi, and bone marrow
Spongy bone
Has no osteons but has struts
Located in eiphysis
Has no blood vessels
Has Lamallae,canaliculi and bone marrow
Bone development
Begins from embryonic tissue or by the repayment of cartilage
Ossification
Converting other tissue to bone
Two kinds: Intramembranous & endochondrial
Intramembranous ossification
Begins with fetal tissue -> osteoblasts-> osteocytes
Growth begins at primary ossification center.
Forms dermal bones,skull,mandible and clavicle
Endochondrial ossification
Bone growth from the hyaline cartilage ( 7 week development )
Goes up til puberty cartilage growth in long bones keeps pace with bone growth
Cartilage is replaced by bone with the release of sex hormones
Bone grows longer and wider
Epiphyseal clouser differs
Blood vessels in nature long bone
Nutrient artery
Periosteal artery
Metaphyseal artery
Nutrient artery
Branch and supply blood throughout the diaphysis
Periosteal artery
Supply blood to the superficial osteons
Metaphyseal artery
Supply blood to the epihyseal plate
Bone tissue changes
Remodels 20% per year
Exercise improves bone density
Hormones that influence bone growth
Growth hormone calcitriol sex hormones thyroxine calcitonin PTH
