Chapter 6: Bones and Tissue Flashcards
Skeletal cartilage grows in two ways
Appositional
Insterstitial
cartilage forming cells in perichondrium secrete matrix against the external face of existing cartilage
-new matrix is laid down on surface cartilage
Appositional Growth
chondrocytes within lacuna divide+secrete new matrix, expands the cartilage from within
Interstitial Growth
Functions of Bone
- Supports
- Protects
- Movement
- Mineral growth
- Blood cell formation
- Triglyceride storage
- Hormone production
2 Groups of Bone
Axial: skull vertebrae, rib cage
Appendicular: bones of upper + lower limbs, girdles attaching to axial skeleton
Classifications of Bone
- long
- short- sesamoid bones form within tendons
- flat
- irregular
What does bone consists of besides osseous tissue?
- nervous tissue
- cartilage
- fibrous connective tissue
- muscle cells
- epithelial cells in blood vessels
3 Structural Levels of Bone
Gross (macroscopic)
Cell (microscopic)
Chemical
Shaft (surrounds medullary cavity)
Diaphysis
contains yellow bone marrow (yellow marrow cavity)
Medullary Cavity
ends of bones
Articulate cartilage coats the very ends
Epiphysis
Childhood bone growth occurs (metaphysis)
Epiphyseal plate
Short, irregular, and flat bones have these membranes
Periosteum
Endosteum
covers the outside of the compact bone, white, double-layered
made of: dense irregular connective tissue
Periosteum
secures bone matrix
Sharpey’s Tissue
inner layer abutting bone+ contains osteogenic cells that give rise to bone cells
Osteogenic layer
rich in nerve fibers and blood vessels. Connects through shafts vie
Nutrient Foramen
covers inside portion of compact bone + trabeculae
made of: a gentle connective tissue membrane
lines canals that pass through compact bone
Endosteum
red marrow that is found in trabecular cavities of spongy bones and diploe of flat bones
Hematopoeietic Tissue
Bone markings
projection (outward bulge)
depression (bowl/groove) (FOSSA) passageways for vessels, nerves, and joints
Opening: hole serves as passageways for blood vessels and nerves.
- mitotically active in periosteum+endosteum
- some remain osteogenic stem cells
- differentiate into osteblasts or bone-lining cells
Osteogenic Cells (osteoprogenitor/stem cells)
bone forming cells that secrete unmineralized bone matrix called osteoid
when they get trapped in calcified matrix, they turn into osteocytes
mitotically active
Osteoblast
maintain bone matrix and are stress and strain sensors
communicate information to osteoblasts + osteoclasts
live in lacunae
Osteocyte
developed from monocytes and macrophages
functions in bone resorbtion (break down)
multinucleate
strips calcium out of bone and puts it in blood stream if hypocalcemic
Osteoclasts
What does lamellar bone (compact bone) consist of?
osteon
canals + canaliculi
interstitial + circumferential lamella
structural unit of compact bone
consists of an elongated cylinder that runs parallel to long axis of bone
Osteon
rings of bone matrix in osteon cylinder
lamellae
