Chapter 5-Skeletal System Flashcards
2 types of bone tissue
- compact(dense smooth bone)
- spongy(bone with open spaces within)
Components of Skeletal system
- cartilage
- bone
- tendons
- ligaments
functions of skeletal system
- protection
- support (rigid structure)
- movement (bones as levers)
- storage (ca, P, fat)
- blood cell protection
cartilage consists of
-cells
extracellular matrix
cells in cartilage
chondrocytes found in compartments called lacunae
extracellular matrix
- collagen/elastic fibers
- ground substance of chondrotin sulfates
types of cartilage
hyaline
elastic
fibrocartilage
why does cartilage heal slowly?
no arteries, veins or lymphocytes
hyaline cartilage
- most common
- made up of chondrocytes, chondrotin sulfate, some collagen
location of hyaline cartilage
embryonic skeleton, articular surfaces, respiratory passages, nasal septum, between ribs and sternum
elastic cartilage
- flexible
- structure: chondrocytes, chondrotin sulfate, densely packed elastic fibers
- location: auricle, tip and lateral walls of nose, epiglottis
fibrocartilage
- very strong
- structure: chondrocytes, chondrotin sulfate, densely packed collagen fibers
- location: intervertebral disc, public symphysis, articular cartilage in knee
perichondrium
- fibrous connective tissue
- surrounds cartilage
- provides support and protection; new chondrocytes
perichondrium location
hyaline cartilage and elastic cartilage
absent form perichondrium
articular surfaces and fibrocartilage
layers of perichondrium
- outer: binds cartilage to adjacent tissues; provides support and protection
- inner: for growth and maintenance
apposition growth
- starts in perichondrium
- mesenchymal cells at periphery form in inner layer of perichondrium
- mesenchyme move towards matrix to become chondrogenic cells
how are chondrocytes formed from apposition growth
- chondrogenic cells aggregate and become chondroblasts
- chondroblasts secrete matrix-force cells apart
- chondroblasts become enclosed in matrix and become chondrocytes
interstitial growth
- chondrocytes enclosed in matrix and divide
- as the move apart, matrix forms between them
- growth of cartilage from within
osseous tissue
- supportive CT
- contains specialized cells
- solid extracellular matrix
- –osteoid (organic portion, protein fibers)
- –ground substance (Ca salts)
- –water
osteoprogenitor
- bone cell
- mesenchymal cells
- predecessor to osteroblasts
- play role in initial growth and fracture repair
osteoblasts
- derived from osteogenic cells
- secrete osteoid
- common in growing bone
- predecessor to osteocytes
- more osteoblasts=stronger bone
osteocytes
- mature cells
- exist within bone matrix
- maintain Ca and PO4 homeostasis
- found in spaces called lacunae
osteoclasts
- involved in osteolysis (bone break down)
- increase osteoclast activity=weaker bone
- very large
- formed from fusion of many white blood stem cells
bone matrix is composed of…
Inorganic material -65% -brittle salts --mostly hydroxyapatite Osteoid -orgaic -35% -flexible fibers (collagen, glycoproteins, proteoglycans
2 types of bone
compact bone
-arranged in osteons
spongy bone
-arranged in trabeculae
compact bone osteocytes communicate how?
osteocytes
-osteocytes communicate through canaliculi that radiate outward and connect one cell to the next cell
osteons
a unit of compact bone
- concentric lamellae of matrix surrounding acentral canal
- contains blood vessels and nerves
how are osteons connected to each other
perforating canals
