Chapter 6 Bone Physiology Flashcards
Primary functions of the skeletal system
Support
Storage of minerals and lipids
blood cell production
protection
leverage
What is included in the skeletal system?
Bones of the skeleton
Cartilages, ligaments, and other connective tissues that stabilize and connect.
What do bones store?
Inorganic ions, calcium ions, phosphorus ions, lipids in yellow marrow
Axial skeleton
Bones that make up the central axis of the body
Appendicular skeleton
Bones that make up the appendages of the body
types of bones
longs
short
flat
irregular
sesamoid
compact bone
closer to solid
closer to the surface to provide stability
Spongy bone
an open network
interior of bone
long bone includes
diaphysis
epiphyses
metaphysis
articular cartilage
marrow cavity
diaphysis
tubular shaft
contains marrow cavity
Metaphysis
connects diaphysis to epiphysis
Epiphysis
end of bone
mainly spongy bone
form complex joints and synovial fluid
bone marrow
in marrow cavity within diaphysis
contains yellow marrow which stores fat
coontains red marrow which produces blood cells
diploe
sandwich of spongy bone
contains bone marrow within spongy network
Osseous tissue is what?
Supporting connective tissue
4 characteristics of bone
dense matrix- contains calcium salts
osteocytes- bone cells housed within lacunae
canaliculi forms network between lacunae
periosteum
How much of the bone matrix is calcium phosphate?
2/3
crystalline hydroxyapatite formula?
calcium phosphate + calcium hydroxide
crystalline hydroxapatite bind to make what?
calcium carbonate, sodium ions, magnesium ions, and fluoride ions
what does calcium phosphate provide?
resistance to compression and rigidity
what do collagen fibers provide?
resistance to tension and binding material for calcium crystals
what do protein-crystal interactions provide?
strength, flexibility, and shatter resistance to bone
cells in bone
osteocytes
osteoblasts
osteoprogenitor cells (stem)
osteoclasts
mature bone cells
osteocytes
occupies the lacuna within lamella layers
osteocytes
cannot divide; lacuna contains only one
osteocytes
canaliculi connects lacunae through what?
lamellae
2 major functions of osteocytes
maintain protein and mineral content of the matrix
help repair damaged bone by becoming osteoblast or osteoprogenitor cell if needed
produce new bone matrix through osteogenesis
osteoblasts
make and release proteins and other matrix components
osteoblasts
organic matrix is called what before calcium salt deposition?
osteoid
helps to elevate calcium phosphate levels locally
osteoblasts
promote calcium salt deposition
osteoblasts
osteoblasts become osteocytes when?
when surrounded by matrix
type of mesenchymal cell
osteoprogenitor cells
stem cell that divides into daughter cells to produce osteoblasts
osteoprogenitor cells
maintain osteoblast populations
osteoprogenitor cells
help repair fractures
osteoprogenitor cells
osteoprogenitor cells located in?
cellular layer of periosteum
endosteum
vascular passages of matrix
remove bone matrix
osteoclasts
giant cells; multinucleate
osteoclasts
related to macrophages; both monocytes
osteoclasts
secretes acid and protein destroying enzymes to break down matrix and release minerals
osteoclasts
process called osteolysis important in regulation of what?
calcium and phosphate ion concentration
bone composition depends on what?
osteoblasts to osteoclasts relationship
functional unit of compact bone
osteon
osteocytes are arranged how in compact bone?
concentric layers around central canal
what does the central canal contain?
blood vessels that carry blood to and from the osteon
perforating canals do what?
run perpendicular to the central canals; blood vessels contained in here supply deep bone tissue and marrow cavity
concentric lamellae from what
nested cylinders around central canal
inertsitial lamellae do what?
fill spaces between osteons due to breakdown by osteoclasts
circumferential lamellae
found around in the outer surfaces and covered by periosteum and in the inner surfaces covered by endosteum
where is compact bone the thickest?
where stresses arrive from limited range of directions
osteons aligned the same…
strong when stressed along the axis of alignment
lamellae arrangement in spongy bone
lamellae is not arranged in osteons
what is the name of the network formed by the matrix in spongy bone?
trabeculae
