Chapter 7 review pt 2 Flashcards
calcification is also known as
mineralization
mineralization is the
deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals
what precipitates from crystals in mineralization
calcium and phosphate
mineralization/calcification requires
vitamin D, vitamin C (for collagen formation), and calcium and phosphate
compact bone is composed of small cylindircal structures known as
osteons
osteon components (7)
central/haversian canal, concentric lamellae, osteocytes, canaliculi, perforating canals, interstitial lamellae, circumfererntial lamellae
central canal
Cylindrical channel at center of osteon and parallel to it
Blood vessels and nerves extend through channel
central canal
concentric lemallae are rings of connective tissue that surround
central canal
osteocytes found in small pockets called
lacunae
osteocytes maintain cell
matric
Canaliculi are
tiny interconnecting channels within bone CT
caniculi also allow for an exchange of
nutrients and minerals
what * House osteocyte projections that allow intercellular contact
caniculi
caniculi extend from
Extend from each lacuna, travel through lamellae and connect to
lacunae and central canal
Perforating (Volkmann) canals
these are Perpendicular to central canals
what do perforating canals do
Connect central canals within different osteons
Circumferential lamellae
runs the entire circumference of the bone
what 2 types of circumferential lamellae are there
internal and external
external Circumferential
runs along periosteum
internal Circumferential
runs along endosteum
