Ch. 5 - Bone Flashcards
Function of bone
Support (Structural framework)
Protection (i.e. Skull, vertebrae, rib-cage)
Movement (Attachment for muscles)
Mineral homeostasis (Ca++ balance)
Blood cell production (RBC and WBC, red bone marrow)
Fat storage (Yellow bone marrow)
Hyaline cartilage (Functions)
Development and growth of bone (bone replaces cartilage model)
Cushioning of joints (Articular cartilage, Costal cartilage)
Protection in respiratory system
Elastic cartilage
Elastic fibers that stretch and recoil Repeated bending (i.e. Ear Epiglottis)
Fibrocartilage
Collagen fibers resist stretching and compression
Location: Intervertebral discs, Meniscus in knee, Pubic symphysis
Long Bone
Epiphysis (Articulating cartilage, spongy bone)
Metaphysis (Epiphyseal line)
Diaphysis (Medullary cavity, Endosteum, Compact bone, Periosteum)
Flat Bone
Consists of spongy bone sandwiched between compact bone
Bone matrix
25% water
25% collagen (adding flexibility)
50% salts (deposited on collagen fibers making bones hard
Bone cells
Osteogenic cells
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
Osteoclasts
Osteogenic cells
Stem cells (periosteum, endosteum)
Osteoblasts
Produce new bone tissue
Osteocytes
Maintain bone tissue
Osteoclasts
Break down bone matrix
Periosteum
Membrane around the bone
Outer layer: Connective tissue
Inner layer: Osteogenic cells and osteoblasts
Osteon
Basic bone unit with concentric lamellae, osteocytes, and a central canal with blood and lymphatic vessels
Osteocyte
Basic bone cell, in lacuna, with canaliculi to allow nutrients to pass from the central canal to the outer edges of the osteon
