pathologies of bone
rickets
brittle bone disease
rickets
soft bones; don’t lay enough hydroxyapatite
vinegar and chicken bones
brittle bone disease
protein deficiency
decrease in collagen
compact bone
lamellae haversion (central) canal canaliculi osteon resist tension and compression not all bone is laid down in osteons
lamellae
collagen fibers corkscrew down
opposite direction to provide strength
haversion central canal
volkman canals lined with endosteum
osteon
central canal and lamellae
spongy bone
sponge-like appearance lays down according to stress lines no central canals trabeculae distribute weight equally blood filled spaces, filled with RBM
osteon
basic structural unit
bone marrow:
soft tissue
red marrow-hematopoietic tissue
yellow marrow
gelatinous marrow of old age
