CLASSIFICATION OF BONES BASED ON MICROSCOPIC STRUCTURE Flashcards
What is lamellar? (3)
- Mature/secondary bone tissue
- layers in an osteon (sheets of mineralized matrix layers)
- Contains collagen fibers (highly organized; adds strength)
What is woven bone?
- fibrous/immature bone (not mineralized)
- First type of bone formed during fetal development
- Then replaced by lamellar bone(which is mineralized)
What does a lamellar make?
- Compact bone
- Trabecular bone
* In adults
What is Secondary osteon?
- Haversian system
- Concentric lamellae
- Surrounding a Haversian canal
What is the outer boundary of the Haversian system?
- Cement line (Evidence of a previous remodeling process.)
- Marks the limit of resorption
- Cement line results from bone remodeling
What is primary osteon? (3)
- Lamellae around a Haversian canal
- Does not replace old bone
- Cement line is not formed
What is lacunae?
- Small cavities in bone that contains osteocytes
What is canaliculi? (2)
- Connect lacunae with each other in the Haversian canals
2. Transport nutrients from Haversian canal to cells in the osteon
What is the Haversian canal?
- Lines the endosteum(membrane covering internal surface of bone)
- Contains blood, lymph vessels, nerves, and loose connective tissue
What is Volkmann’s canal? (3)
- Perforate the lamellae (perpendicular to haversian canal)
- Connects Haversian canal with the Bone Marrow Cavity and Periosteum
- Provides channels for the neurovascular system
What is bone matrix in woven bone? (5)
- mineral content is low but the deposition of the minerals is faster than lamellar bone (because we don’t do nothing with soft bone)
- Contains collagen fibers(randomly oriented “woven”)
- No lamellae
- Strength is equal in all directions
- Cells are embedded in the matrix (around blood vessels penetrating the bone and on the surface )
Where is woven bone located after birth? (3)
- Near sutures of flat bones of the skull
- Tooth sockets
- Insertion site of some tendons
* Also found in fractures, tumors, and infections
What are two types of ossification?
- intramembranous ossification
- endochondral ossification
- Refers to the mechanisms by which bone is formed.
- Woven bone is produced first and then replaced by stronger lamellar bone
What occurs in intramembranous ossification?
- Forms directly within condensations of highly vascularized mesenchymal tissue
- Formation of bone starts at the primary ossification center
What is osteoprogenitor cells?
- Are mesenchymal cells at primary ossification center
* Are immature cells that become osteoblasts
What happens to osteoblasts in intramembranous ossification? (4)
- Organize around developing capillaries
- Start synthesis of osteoid
- Mineralizes, creating small areas of bone with trabeculae and surrounds the osteoblasts, which become osteocytes
- Collagen fibers become randomly oriented and lamellae not present YET
*osteoid (bone that is not mineralized YET)
What occurs in intramembranous ossification when secretion of osteoid begins?
- Mineralization
2. Trabecular growth (Growth in the small bony areas)
What happens in ossification centers in intramembranous ossification? (4)
- Grow
- Fuse
- Replacement of Connective Tissue mesenchyme
- Produce compact bone that encloses the cancellous bone
How are Periosteum and endosteum form in intramembranous ossification?
Layers of Connective Tissue mesenchyme do not undergo ossification, which then creates periosteum and endosteum
What bones does intramembranous ossification make?
- Patterns of ossification of flat bones that contribute to the growth of:
- short bones
- maxilla
- mandible
- clavicle
- Thickening of long bones
What is Diploe?
Trabecular bone that remains at the center between two layers of compact bone
*Contain diploic veins
What occurs in cranial flat bone during intramembranous ossification?
- Bone formation predominates over bone resorption at both, internal and external surfaces of the compact bone
What are diploic veins?
- Thin-walled valveless veins that occupy channels in the diploe
- Connected with the intracranial and extracranial veins by emissary veins
What are Emissary veins?
- Valveless veins that pass through apertures in the cranial wall
