chapter 6 osseous tissue and bone structure Flashcards
Skeletal system includes
Bones of the skeleton 206
Cartilages, ligaments, and connective tissues
Skeletal muscle
The framework for the body
Osseous tissue
Is the hardened matrix that gives strength to the bones
Osseous tissue does what
- hardened by the process of calcification ; calcium phosphate
- continually remodels itself (living)
Functions of the skeletal system
-support
-protection
Enclose vital organs
-leverage
Allows movement from muscle action
-mineral storage
Calcium
Phosphate
-blood formation
RBC and WBC
Bone
Consists of osseous tissue, marrow, cartilage, periosteum
Bones are classified according to?
-shape
Long, short, flat, and irregular
Sutural and sesamoid bones are less common shapes
Bone structure (internal tissues)
-compact bone is dense bone tissue
- spongy bone (cancellous) is loosely organized bone tissue
Always surrounded by compact tissue
Long bone
Are longhand slender;levers for muscles
-legs and arms
Include feet/toes, hands/fingers
Short bones
Are nearly equal in length and width; limited gliding in multiple directions
-carpals (writs) and tarsals (ankles)
Flat bones
Are thin with parallel surfaces
-protect organs and offer extensive surface area for muscle attachment
Flat bones are found
- skull, sternum, and ribs
- scaplua
- os oxae (hip bones)
Irregular bones
Have complex shapes with short, flat, or ridged surfaces
Irregular bones are found in
-vertebrae
-skull
Ethmoid and sphenoid
Long Bone Characteristics
- diaphysis has a heavy wall of compact bone
- epiphysis is a spongy bone covered with compact bone
- metaphysis is where diaphysis and epiphysis meet
Diaphysis
- transfers stress/weight between epiphysis
- contains marrow (medullary) cavity
Epiphysis
Enlarged to strengthen joint and attach ligaments
Metaphysis
- bone lengthening occurs here along epiphyseal plate
- in adults epiphyseal plate becomes epiphyseal line
Articular cartilage
Is a hyaline cartilage that covers the ends of long bones allows for ease of mobility at the joints
-component of synovial capsule
Nutrient foramina
Allow for blood vessels and nerves to enter bone
Bone linings
Periosteum
Endosteum
Periosteum
Lines the outer shaft
- outer fiberless layer(collagen) & inner cellular layer
- isolates bones from surrounding tissues
- provides a route for circulatory and nervous supply
- participates in bone growth and repair
Endosteum
- incomplete cellular layer, some matrix is exposed
- exposed matrix contains primary bone cells
- active in bone growth/repair by removing and re-depositing matrix
Osseous tissue is
A connective tissue that contains fibers, ground substance, and specialized cells
4 types of bone cells
- osteocytes
- osteoblasts
- osteoprogentior cells
- osteoclasts
Osteocytes
Are mature bone cells living in lacunae that maintain the bone matrix
- do not dived
- connected by gap junctions and cytoplasmic extensions through canaliculi in matrix
Osteocyte functions
- maintain protein and mineral content of matrix
- help repair damaged bone
Osteocytes account for most of
Bone cell population
Osteoblasts
Are immature bone cells that secrete organic compounds (osteoid) to produce bone matrix
- matrix hardens via mineral (calcium) deposition
- replacing non-osseous tissue with bone is osteogenesis
- calcium deposition in non osseous tissue is ossification
Osteogenic cells
Are mesenchymal stem cells that divide to produce most other bone cells
-located in (inner) cellular layer of periosteum and endosteum
*only source of new bone cells (done differentiate into osteoblasts)
Osteoclasts
Are giant, multinucleated cells that form from the fusion of 3-50 stem cells; related to macrophages of immune system
Secret acids and protein-digesting enzymes to
dissolve bone matrix and release stored minerals (osteolysis)
-important in the regulation of CA+ and PO4
Homeostasis and osseous tissue
-bone building (osteoblasts) and bone recycling (osteoclasts) must balance
More breakdown than building, bones become weaker
Couch potatoes
More building than breakdown, bones become stronger
Exercising individuals
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts actions must
Balance
Matrix of osseous tissues is a
Crystalline-protein complex of organic and inorganic matter
Provides for strength and resilience
Combination of materials is called a composite
Combination of materials is called a composite
Minerals resist compression while collagen resists tension
Organic matter includes
- collagen (primary)
- proteoglycans and glycoproteins
Inorganic matter includes
- 85% hydroxyapatite
- 10% calcium carbonate and other minerals
Compact bone
Osseous tissue is cylindrical with layers if concentric lamellae arranged around central canals
Forms
Osteon
Basic structural unit of bone
Osteons are secured by two types of lamellae
-interstitial lamellae
-circumferential lamellae
Outer boundary of compact bone
Osteons receiver blood via perforating canals (volkmann canals)
-vascular canals that perpendicularly join central canals
Spongy bone
Has a sponge-like appearance due to struts of bone called trabeculae
-has open network with no central canals (does not have osteons)
Nutrients and waste diffuse through canaliculi
2 types of marrow in spongy bone
Red marrow
Yellow marrow
Red marrow(hemopoietic)
contains blood vessels and forms red blood cells
Axial skeleton and proximal heads of femur and humerus in adults
Yellow marrow
Present in some long bones for lipid storage
Spongy bone provides strength with
Little weight
Bone growth and elongation occurs at the ______ ______ that function as growth zones
Epiphyseal plates
