chapter 6 Flashcards
bone
organ made up of several tissues working together: bone tissue, cartilage, dense connective tissue, epithelium, adipose tissue and nervous tissue
basic functions of skeletal muscle
- support
2.protection - assistance in movement
- blood cell production
- triglyceride storage
- mineral homeostasis
function: support
skeleton supports soft tissue and providing attachment points to the tendons of most skeletal muscle
function: protection
protects internal organs
function: assistance in movement
muscle attach to bone when they contract, they pull on bone to produce movement
function: blood cell production
red blood marrow produces RBC, WBC, and platelets in process called hemepoeisis. It consists of developing blood cells: adipocyte, fibroblast and macrophage within network of reticular fiber
-in fetus and some adult bone: hips, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, skull, femur, humerus
-older you get RBM turn yellow
function: triglycerides storage
yellow bone marrow consists mainly of adipose which stores triglycerides= potential chemical energy reserve
function: mineral homeostasis
-bone tissue males up 18% of weight, stores minerals (calcium and phosphorus) which help bone strength
-bone tissue stores 99% of body calcium
-on demand, bone releases minerals into the blood to maintain homeostasis and bring minerals to rest of the body
long bone
and what does it consist of
one that has greater length than width and consists of
-diaphysis
-epiphysis
-metaphyses
-articular cartilage
-periosteum
-medullary cavity
-endosteum
diaphysis
bone shaft, main portion
epiphysis
proximal and distal end of bone
metaphyses
-region between epiphysis and disphysis
-contain epiphyseal plate/ epiphyseal line
epiphyseal plate
layer of hyaline that allows disphysis to grow in length
epiphyseal line
when the bone length growth stops cartilage in epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone
articular cartilage
thin layer of hyaline cartilage covered the part of epiphysis where bone forms a joint with another bone
-reduces friction and absorbs shock
-repair of damage is limited due to lack of perichondrium and blood vessels
periosteum
what is it made of?
function
how does it attach?
what is it?
-tough connective tissue sheath and is associated with blood supply that surrounds bone surface where there is no articular cartilage
-composed of outer fibrous layer (irregular connective tissue) and inner osteogenic layer (cell)
-helps grow in thickness, not length
-protects bone, assists in fracture repair, nourish bone tissue, attachment point for tendons and ligament
-attaches to bone by perforating fibers (thick bundles of collagen extend from periosteum ito extracellular matrix)
medullary cavity
what is it?
function
-hollow, cylindrical space with diaphysis that contains yellow fatty bone marrow and blood vessels (in adults)
-minimizes weight of bone by reducing dense bone material where it is least needed
-long, tubular design provides max strength with min weight
endosteum
-thin membrane that line medullary cavity
-contains single layer of bone forming cells and small amount of connective tissue
what does the extracellular matrix consist of
15% water, 30% collagen, 55% crystallized mineral salts (calcium phosphate) and hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate + calcium hydroxide)
calcification
minerals are deposited into framework formed by collagen fibers of extracellular matrix, they crystallize and tissue hardens
-initiated by bone building cells (osteoblasts)
bone hardness
depend on crystallized inorganic mineral salts
bone flexibility
depend on collagen fibers
4 types of cells present in bone tissue
1.Osteoprogenitor Cells
2.osteoblasts
3. osteocytes
4.osteoclasts
Osteoprogenitor cells
what is it
found where?
-unspecialized bone stem cells derived from mesenchyme
-only bone cells to undergo cell division= develop into osteoblasts
-found along inner portion of periosteum, in the endosteum and the canals with bone containing blood vessels
osteoblasts
-bone building cells
-synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and other organic components needed to build the extracellular matrix and initiate calcification
-surround themselves with extracellular matrix, trapped in secretion and become osteocytes
Osteocytes
what is it?
function
-mature bone cells, main cells in tissue
-maintain its daily metabolism such as exchange of nutrients and wastes in the blood
-does not undergo cell division
blast
secretes extracellular matrix
cytes
monitors and maintains tissue
osteoclasts
-huge cell derived from the fusion of as many as 50 monocytes and concentrated in endosteum
-osteoclasts plasma membrane is deeply folded into a ruffled border, here the cell releases lysomal enzymes and acid that digests the protein and minerals on the extracellular bone matrix
Compact bone tissue
-80% of skeleton
-contains few spaces, strongest form of bone
-found beneath periosteum, makes up bulk of diaphysis
-provides protection, support, and resists stress of weight and movement
what does compact bone consist of?
-osteon
-concentric lamellae
-lacunae
-canaliculi
-interstitial lamellae
-interosteonic canals
-circumferential lamellae
osteon
-consist of concentric lamellae arranged around osteonic canal
-aligned in same direction and are parallel to length of diaphysis which aids in helping resist break and fracture in long bone
-not static, change overtime based on physical demands
concentric lamellae
-are circular plates of mineralized extracellular matrix of increasing diameter, surrounding a small network of blood vessels and nerves located in central canal
lucunae
small spaces between concentric lamellae which contain osteocytes
canliculi
-come from all direction from lacunae which are filled with extracellular fluid, inside are finger like process of osteocytes
-connects lacunae with other central canals which forms connecting canals throughout the bone (route for nutrients and O2)
