Ch. 7 part 3 anatomy Flashcards
Osteoid produced by osteoblasts contain what?
Collagen protein (carbon) - Organic
Organic components functions
Tension strength and bone flexibility
Inorganic components contain what?
Salt crystals, calcium phosphate
When calcium phosphate and calcium hydroxide interact forming what?
Crystals, hydroxyapatite
What happens when crystals surround around collagen fiber?
It hardens matrix and account for rigidity of bones
Bone formation begins with what?
Secretion of osteoid
What is required for bone formation?
Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Calcium and phosphate for calcification
What is Vitamin D function?
Enhances calcium absorption from GI tract
What is Vitamin C function?
Making proteins that are flexible for the bone
In bone resorption osteoclast breakdown what?
Lots of lysosomes
What is released from lysosomes within osteoclasts?
Proteolytic enzymes
When does bone resorption occur?
When bone calcium levels are low
What are osteons?
Basic functional and structural unit of mature compact bone
Function of collagen fiber
Give bone strength and resilience
What is trabeculae function in spongy bone?
Resistance to stresses
