Chapter 6: Bone Tissue,, Flashcards
.
What cells make bone?
Osteoblasts
What cells breakdown bone?
Osteoclasts
What structure persists into adulthood and for life?
Articular cartilage
How do long bones lengthen?
By longitudinal growth
How does bone growth take place in long bones?
It takes place by pushing the epiphysis away from the diaphysis
What is bone growth in length called?
Longitudinal
What is bone growth in width called?
Appositional
How does the sun help bone growth?
Vitamin D comes from the sun, and increases osteoblast while decreasing osteoclast activity
What increases osteoclast activity?
Continuous pressure placed on bone, parathyroid hormone and decrease in calcium ion concentration
What decreases osteoblast activity?
Inaclequate exercise and dietary intake of calcium or vitamins c,d or K
What increases osteoblast activity?
Compressional load or exercise, testosterone, tension placed on bone and adequate dietary intake of vitamins c,d and k
What decreases osteoclast activity?
Estrogen, calcitonin, and increase in blood calcium ion concentration
Steps of bone repair?
1) hematoma fills ingap between bone fragments
2) fibroblast and chondroblasts go into hematoma and form soft callus
3) osteoblasts build bone ( hard ) callus
4) bone callus is remodelled and primary bone replaced with secondary bone
What cells contribute to calcification during inframembranous ossification?
Mesenchymal cells
Describe the epiphysis
The end of a diaphysis, covered with a thin layer of hyaline cartilage
What is the diaphysis
Shaft of the long bone
What is the articular cattilage?
A thin layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the bone to rub together with reduced friction at joints
What is the epiphyseal plate?
Growth plates that allow bones to grow in size
How de you know when a person is done growing?
The epiphyseal plate becomes a line
What are the 2 bone textures?
Spongy and compact
