38
Q

A

contains artery, vein and nerve

40
Q

A

rings of matrix

41
Q

A

hair like canals

42
Q

Performing Canals

A

run at 90 degree (right) angles to central canals

43

Circumferential Lamellae

A

run around entire bone deep to the periosteum

44
Q

Structure of Spongy Bone

A

aka trabecular bone; no osteons, trabeculae have irregular arranged lamellae; osteocytes interconnected by canaliculi

45
Q

Chemical Composition of Bone

A

organic components (35%); bone cells; osteoid; inorganic components

46
Q

Organic Components of Bone

A

35%; allow bone to resist tension (stretching and twisting)

47
Q

Osteoid

A

ground substance and collagen fibers secreted by osteoblasts

48
Q

Inorganic Components

A

65%; allow bone to resist compression; hydroxypatites (mineral salts like calcium phosphate

49
Q

What are the two types of bone formation (or ossification)?

A

endrochondral ossification and intramembranous ossification

50
Q

Before week 8 bones are…

A

embryonic skeleton compose of hyaline cartilage and fibrous membranes

51
Q

Endochondral Ossification

A

endochondral bone replaces hyaline cartilage; occurs in all bones below the base of the skull except clavicles (skull and clavicles not formed by endochondral ossification) ;begins in week 8; when secondary ossification is complete only hyaline cartilage found as articular cartilages and epiphyseal plate

52
Q

Intramembranous Ossification

A

membranous bone replaces fibrous membrane; forms cranial bones and clavicals (all other bones are from cartilage and done by endochondral ossification); begins in week 8

53
Q

Steps of Intramembranous Ossification

A

1) ossification centers develop in the fibrous connective tissue; 2) osteoid is secreted and calcified; 3) immature spongy bone and periosteum form; 4) impact bone replaces immature spongy bone

54
Q

Postnatal Bone Growth

A

after birth; occurs during infancy and youth; involves interstitial growth and appositional growth

55
Q

Interstitial Growth

A

increases bone length; occurs at epiphyseal plate- when the plate seals the child stops growing and the epiphysial line forms

56
Q

Appositional Growth

A

increases bone diameter and thickness; osteoblasts add bone on external bone surface; osteoclasts remove bone on endosteal surface

57
Q

Growth Hormone (GH)

A

stimulates epiphylial plate activity during infancy and childhood (produced by pituitary gland)

58
Q

Thyroid Hormone (TH)

A

ensures skeleton has proper proportions during growth (produced by follicular cells of thyroid gland)

59
Q

Estrogen

A

comes into play at puberty in both males and females; in males some testosterone is converted to estrogen; low estrogen stimulates growth spurt; high estrogen induces epiphyseal plate closure in females at ~18 yrs old and in males ~21 yrs old

60
Q

Bone Remodeling

A

1) bone resorption, 2) bone deposition, 3) control of remodeling; includes bone resorption and deposition; occurs during interstitial and appositional growth; maintains blood calcium levels and keeps bones strong

61
Q

Bone Resorption

A

carried out by osteoplasts

62
Q

Bone Despostion

A

carried out by osteoblasts

63
Q

Control of Remodeling

A

hormonal controls; determines WHEN remodeling occurs

64
Q

Hormones involved with controlling remodeling

A

parathyroid hormone (PTH); calcitonin

65
Q

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)

A

produced by parathyroid glands; stimulates osteoclasts activity; when calcium is low in the blood

66
Q

Calcitonin

A

produced by parafollicular cells of thyroid cells; has no effect on physologicla levels; no affect on blood calcium levels, unless someone is given high dose of calcitonin; at pharmacological doasges it inhibits osteoclast acitivty

67
Q

Response to Mechanical Stress

A

muscle pull and gravity; determines WHERE remodeling occurs; bones remodel in response to demands placed on them (Wolffs Law); weight lifters have thickening at attachment sites of the most used muscle

68
Q

Bone Repair and Steps of Repair

A

fractures are treated by reduction (realignment) and immobilization (cast or traction); Steps: 1) hematoma forms; 2) fibrocartilaginous callus forms (soft callus); 3) bony callus forms, 4) bone remodeling occurs

69
Q

Inadequate Mineralization

A

bones soft and weak; calcium salts not adequately deposited; caused by insufficient calcium in diet or vitamin D deficiency (vit D needed to absorb calcium)

70
Q

Osteomalacia

A

soft bones in adults; main symptoms is pain in weight bearing bones

71
Q

Rickets

A

soft bones in children; bowed legs and deformities of pelvis, skull, and ribcage; epiphyseal plates can not calcify and continue to widen

72
Q

Osteogenesis Imperfecta

A

brittle bone disease; genetic; abnormal collage or too little collagen produced; they can stand wrong and break a bone

73
Q

Osteoporosis

A

bone reabsorption outpaces bone deposition; most common in postmenopausal women (lack of estrogen increases osteoclast actibity)

74
Q

Risk Factors for Osteoporosis

A

decreased sex hormones; insufficient bone stress (weights, stress bones to make them build up); poor calcium diet, vit D or protein; smoking (lowers estrogen and calcium absorption); genetics; hormone related conditions (hyperthyroidism, diabetes); consumption of alcohol; certain medications (steroids and some cancer drugs)

75
Q

Treatment for Osteoporosis

A

calcium and vit D supplements; load bearing exercises; HRT (hormone replacement therapy); medications such as bisphosphonates like Fosamax (inhibit osteoclasts)

76
Q

Paget’s Disease

A

excessive and haphazard bone depostion and reapsorption; abnormally high ratio of spongy to compact bone; usually appears after age 40

77
Q

Achondroplasia

A

congenital (from birth) and genetic; defective cartilage and endochondrum bone growth; head and trunk normal sized; arms and legs short; type of dwarfism; external fixators can be applied to lengthen femur and tibia bones

78
Q

Endochondral Ossification

A

bone develops by replacing hyaline cartilage; takes place in all bones below the skull except for clavicles

79
Q

Intramembranous Ossification

A

bone develops from a fibrous membrane; occurs in skull and clavicles
