ch6 Flashcards
Cartiliage
a semirigid connective tissue that is weaker than bone, but more flexible/resilient.
chloroplasts
cells that produce the matrix of cartilage
chondrocytes and function
chloroplasts once they become encased within the matrix that they produces and secreted. they occupy lacunae and make sure that the cartilage remains healthy.
lacunae
small space, cavity, or depression. occupied by chondrocytes
is mature cartilage vascular or avascular
avascular so nutrients must diffuse thru matrix
three dif types of cartilage
hyalin, elastic, and fibrocartilage
functions of cartilage
supporting tissues
providing gliding surfaces are articulations
providing model for bone formation in embryos
what types of tissues do bones contain
these contain all tissue types
bone connective tissue
primary component of bones. matrix is sturdy and rigid due to calcification
calcification
mineralization. deposition of minerals in the matrix
functions of bone
support and protection
movement
hematopoiesis
storage of mineral and energy reserves
how do bones support and protect
provide structural support/framework for body
protect tissues and organs
how do bones support movement
serve as attachment site for muscles/tissues/organs
act as system of levers that move when muscles contract
hematopoiesis and where does in occur
the process of producing formed elements in the blood. occurs in red bone marrow.
red bone marrow and location
contains stem cells that form blood cells and platelets.
kids: located in some spongy bone and the medullary cavity of most bones of the body
adults: located in spongy bone in only few portions of the axial skeleton like flat bones of skull, vertebra, ribs, sternum, and hip bones. also in primal epiphysis of each humerus and femur
yellow bone marrow
what red marrow turns into when it degenerates. a fatty tissue.
how do bones store mineral and energy reserves
they store more than 90% of bodys calcium and phosphate. when one of those is needed, some bone tissue is broken down and those minerals are released into the blood.
store potential energy in the form of lipids in yellow bone marrow, in the shafts of adult bones
four classes of bone as determined by shape
long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones
long bones and where do they occur
greater length and width than other bone.
elongated cylindrical shaft.
upper limbs(arm, forearm, palm, fingers)
lower limbs(thigh, leg, sole of foot, toes)
short bones and where are they located
length about equals width. external surface covered by compact bone and interior is spongy bone.
carpals, tarsals, sesamoid bones
sesamoid bones
tiny seedshaped bones along the tendons of some muscles. type of short bone. patella is largest sesamoid bone
flat bones and where tehy are
flat, thin surfaces. composed of paralel surfaces of compact bone w layer of internal spngy bone.
provide surfaces for muscle attachment and protect underlying tissue. roof of skull, scapulae, sternum, ribs
irregular bones
complex shaped that dont fit into other categories. compact bone covering internal spongy bone.
vertebrae, coxae, many bones in skull like eithmoid and sphenoid
what parts does a typical long bone contain
DIAPHYSIS
EPIPHYSIS
METAPHYSIS
ARTICULAR CARTILAGE
MEDULLARY CAVITY
ENDOSTEUM
PERIOSTEUM
PERFORATING FIBERS
diaphysis and function
principle feature of long bone. elongated, cylindrical shaft
provides leverage and major weight support
epiphysis and function
expanded knobby region at end of long bones. composed of outer layer of compact, inner layer spongy bone.
enlarged to make joint stronger and provide more surface area for articulation/tendon/ligament attachement.
proximal vs distal epiphysis
end of bone closest to trunk vs end of bone farthest from trunk
metaphysis, and its function
section of long bone between epiphysis and diaphysis
transfers forces between dia and epi
epiphyseal plate vs epiphyseal line
in metaphysis
plate is in a growing bone. thin layers of hyalin cart that allows lengthwise growth of diaphysis.
line is a thin layer of compact bone that is a remnant of the plate
articular cartilage and function
thin layer of hyalin cartilage covering epiphysis at a joint surface
absorbs shock and friction in mving jionts
medullary cavity
hollow, cylindrical space withing diaphysis. constains yellow bone marrow in adults
endosteum, what it contains, and function
incomplete layer of cells that covers internal surface of bone. lines medullary cavities
contains osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts.
active during bone growth, repair, and remodeling
periosteum, what is it formed/anchored by, and function
tough sheath on outer surface of bone, other than those covered by articular cartilage.
formed by dense irregular conn tiss and consists of outer fibrous layer and inner cellular. anchored to bone by perforating fibers.
protects bone from surrounding structures, anchors blood vessels and nerves to surface of bone, provides stem cells for growth in width and fracture repair
four types of cells in bone tissue
osteoprogenitor cells, osteoplasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts
osteoprogenitor cells and their location
stem cells derived from mesenchyme. produce a committed cell when combined that matures to become an osteoblast.
located in periosteum and endosteum
osteoblasts and their function
formed from osteoprogenitor stem cells.
exhibit cuboidal structure and secrete a semisolid form of bone matrix called osteoid. osteoids calcify and harden.
osteoblasts produce new bone and when they become trapped in the matrix they produce and secreted, they become osteocytes
osteocytes and function
mature bone cells that are trapped in the matrix they created. live in small spaces called lacunae.
maintain bone matrix and detect stress on bone. communicate this to osteoblasts which may result in deposition of new bone matrix at surface
osteoclasts, what are they mde from, located, and what is their function
large, multinuclear, phagotyc cells. have ruffled surface where they touch bone which increases surface area touching it.
derived from fused bone marry cells
located in a depression pit on bone surface called a resorption lacuna.
they are used for bone absorption
bone absorption
osteoclasts secrete hydrochloric acid dissolving minerals in the bone matrix while lysosomes in the osteoclast secrete enzyms that absorb the bone matrix. this releases calcium and phosphate
osteolysis
the release of stored calcium and phosphate from bone matrix during bone resorption which then enters tissues and blood
what effects osteoblast and osteoclast activity
hormonal levels
bodys need for calcium and phosphorus
gravitational and mechanic stressors to the bone
ex. when wearing braces they work together to modify the toothjaw junction.
what makes up bone matrix
organic and nonorganic components. 1/3 composed of osteoids including cells, colagen fibers, and ground substance.
collagen gives tensile strength and flexibility
inorganic (mostly calcium phosphate) provides compressional strength
what do calcium phosphate and calcium hydroxide form in the bone matrix
hydroxyapatite crystals.
the deposit around colagen and harden the extracellular matrix. also incorporate salts like calcium carbonate, and ions like sodium, magnesium sulfate, and fluoride during calcification
spongy vs compact bone
both make up most of bones in body.
compact solid, dense. forms solid external bones of long bone
spongy porous. located internally in soft bone within epiphyses. forms on trabeculae. in flat bone of skull it is sandwhiched btwn 2 layers of compact bone
trabeculae
a small piece of the spongy substance of bone, usually interconnected with other similar pieces
diploe
central layer of spongy bone between 2 layers of compact bone of the flat cranial bones
osteon
cylindrical basic functional and structural unit of mature compact bone. run pallalel to diaphysis on long bone. appearace of bulls eye target
components of an osteon (haversian system)
central canal
concentric lamallae
osteocytes
canaliculi
central canal of an osteon (haversian canal) (withing compact bone microanatomy)
cylindrical channel in center of osteon. contains blood vessel and nerves
concentric lamellae (within compact bone microanatomy)
rings of bone connective tissue surrounding central canal, making up most of the osteon. every other osteon as collagen fibers perpendicular to the one before it, giving the bone some strength and resilience
