skeletal system
bone to bone connection
ligament
bone to muscle connection
tendon
bones are classified by
shape, tissue organization
types of bones (6)
sutural, irregular, short, flat, long, sesamoid
small irregular bones found between sutures. vary in number
sutural bones
bones with complex shape i.e. vertebrae
irregular bones
short and thick. in wrists (carpals) and ankles (tarsals)
short bones
thin bones, parallel surfaces, in skull, sternum, rib, and scapulae
flat bones
long and thin bones. in arms, legs, feet, fingers, and toes
long bones
small and flat bone, near joints, vary in number, but common one to have is patella (kneecap)
sesamoid bone
parts of a long bone (3)
diaphysis, epiphysis, metaphysis
shaft of long bone is called _____. has wall of compact bone with central space called ______ cavity
diaphysis; medullary (marrow)
wide part of long bones ends are ______. the compact bone covering is the _______. articulation point with other bones
epiphysis; cortex
where diaphysis and epiphysis meet in long bone
metaphysis
medullary cavity contains ______ colored marrow in adults
yellow
cancellous (spongy) bone in epiphysis contains ______ colored marrow
red
________ is sandwich of spongy bone between two layers of compact bone. spongy bone has ___ marrow
flat bone structure; red
spongy part in flat bone
diploe
compact part in flat bone
cortex
outer surface of bone is covered by _____ except at _______
periosteum; parts enclosed in joint capsules
periosteum layers (2)
fibrous outer, cellular inner
bone is a _______ tissue
connective
dense matrix forming bone consists of
2/3 calcium salt and 1/3 collagen
only bone cell found in lacunae
osteocytes
mature bone cell maintaining the bone matrix. can both build and break down
osteocyte
types of bone cells (4)
osteocytes, osteoblasts, osteoprogenitor, and osteoclasts
immature (growing) bone cell secreting organic components of matrix
osteoblast
bone cells located on surface of bone (3)
osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteoproginator cell
stem cells divide on bone to produce osteoblasts
osteoprogenitor cell
Cellular layer covering medullary cavity
endosteum
multinucleate cell secretes acids and enzymes to dissolve bone matrix. on open area
osteoclasts
tight areas in lamellae of matrix where cytoplasmic extensions can go through. used for osteocytes to communicate
canaliculi
major functions of osteocytes (2)
maintain surrounding bone matrix (breaking and rebuilding), repair damaged bone
breaking and rebuilding of bone matrix by osteocytes
bone turnover/remodeling
immature bone cells secreting _____. eventually become osteocytes.
osteoid (almost bone, not yet calcified); osteoblasts
_____ are stem cells that divide to make osteoblasts. located in inner cellular layer of ______ and ________.
osteoprogenitor cells; periosteum and endosteum
Maintain osteoblast populations, assist in fracture repair
Osteoprogenitor Cells
membrane lining inside of bone
endosteum
big, multinucleate cells. secret acid and enzymes. releases stored minerals
osteoclasts
Derived from stem cells that produce macrophages
osteoclasts
osteolysis
dissolving bone matrix
more breakdown than building, bones become ____. can lead to ______.
weak; immobility
more building than breaking, bones become ______. ______ help with strengthening bone.
strong; weight bearing exercises
bone matrix acting as a storage reservoir for calcium
serum calcium homeostasis
calcium is removed from bones
hypocalcemia
stimulates the release of calcium from bones (hypocalcemia)
parathyroid hormone
calcium is packed into bones (calcitonin)
hypercalcemia
stimulates deposition of calcium into bones
calcitonin
bone providing protection and support. resists compression
compact bone
osteon is basic unit. osteocytes are arranged in concentric lamellae around central cavity containing blood vessels.
structure of compact bone
perpendicular to central canals, carry bloods vessels into bone and marrow
perforating canals
layers of bone circling the whole bone
circumferential lamellae
open space parallel to osteons containing blood vessels
central canal
makes bone lighter, protects bone marrow
spongy bone
spongy bone matrix forms an open network of ______. they have no blood vessels
trabeculae
space in between trabeculae is filled with ________
red bone marrow
collagen fibers of the periosteum connecting with fibers in tendons and ligaments. provides strong attachments
perforating fibers
membrane within bone covering the inner surfaces. missing fibrous layer, only has cellular layer. active in bone growth and repair
endosteum
