Fissure
Round or oval opening through a bone
Foramen
Indentation at the edge of a structure
Notch
Canal or tunnel like passageway
Meatus
Cavity within a bone filled with air, lined with a mucous membrane
Sinus
Shallow, basin like depression in a bone, often serving as an articular surface
Fossa
Microscopic anatomy of spongy bone
Trabeculae
Open spaces
Small, needle-like pieces of bone
Trabeculae
Filled with marrow, blood vessels and nerves
Open spaces
Where is red bone marrow located?
Epiphysis
Closely compacted to make compact bone
Tunnels made by osteocyte rich tissue
Osteon
Haversian system is AKA
Osteons
Mature bone cells situated in bone matrix
Osteocytes
Cavities in bone matrix that house osteocytes
Lacunae
Lamellae
Concentric circles of lacunae situated around the central (haversian) canal

___ is relatively lightweight and resists tension and other forces
Bone
Organic parts (____ ______) make bone flexible and have great tensile strength
Collagen fibers
What makes bone hard to resist compression?
Calcium salts
Ossification
Bone formation
Ossification happens on
- Hyaline cartilage models
- Fibrous membranes
Parts of ossification in long bones
Osteoblasts cover hyaline cartilage model with bone matrix (bony collar)
- In fetus enclosed cartilage is digested away opening up a medullary cavity
By birth, most cartilage is converted to bone except for 2 parts in a long bone
1.Articular cartilages
2.Epiphyseal plates
What replaces old cartilage?
Bony matrix
New cartilage is formed continuously on external face of these two cartilages
Articular cartilages
Epiphyseal plates
How is bone remodeled?
- Bone is resorbed by osteoclasts. Breaks down at ends
- Bone is added (appositional growth) by osteoblasts on sides
- Bone is resorbed by osteoclasts at center
Appositional growth
Bones grow in width
Role of osteoblasts in appositional growth
Osteoblasts in periosteum add bone matrix to outside of diaphysis
Role of osteoclasts in appositional growth
In endosteum remove bone from inner surface of diaphysis
What controls bone growth
Hormones such as growth hormone and sex hormones
Estrogen and T
What determines when to remodel bone matrix?
Calcium ion levels in blood
What determines where bone matrix is remodeled?
Pull of gravity and muscles on skeleton
Hypercalcemia
High blood calcium levels
Prompts calcium storage to bones by osteoblasts
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
-Released when calcium ion levels are low
-Activates osteoclasts
-Breaks down bones and releases calcium ions
Fracture

Closed fracture (simple)
Doesn’t penetrate skin
Open (compound) fracture
Penetrates skin
Fractures are fixed by
Reduction and immobilization
Closed reduction
Bones coaxed into position by physician’s hands
Open reduction
Bones in place with pins or wires during surgery
4 events of bone fracture repair
- Hematoma
- Fibrocartilage callus forms
- Bony callus replaces fibrocartilage callus
- Bone remodeling occurs in response to mechanical stresses
Hematoma
Blood-filled swelling, or bruise
How does fibrocartilage callus form?
-cartilage matrix
-bony matrix
-collagen fibers splint the broken bone
How’s does bony callus replace the fibrocartilage callus?
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts migrate in
Comminuted fracture
Bone breaks into three or more fragments
Common in elderly
Compression
Crushed bone
Common in porous bones (older people)
Depressed fracture
Broken bone pressed in
Typical of skull fracture
