Exam 2 - MSK 1A Bone: Normal Structure Flashcards
2 types of bone?
- Cortical Bone
2. Cancellous Bone
Percent of Cortical Bone? Turn over rate? Density and packed with what?
80% of bone. Slow turn over. Dense and packed with haversian canal system.
Haversion System aka?
Osteon
What and where is the Haversian Canal? In which type of bone? Communicates with what?
Central canal of Cortical Bone. Contains blood vessels and nerves that communicate with periosteum.
Lamelle are found where, what shape, and in what type of bone?
Concentric layers of bone surrounding Central/Haversian Canal. In Cortical Bone.
Osteocytes are found where and active in what functions?
Within Lamelle (concentric layers around Central/Haversian Canal) on Cortical Bone. Active in signaling, maintenance, and turn-over.
What is Volkman’s Canal and in which type of canal? What does it connect to?
Horizontal canal in cortical bone. Connects to periosteum.
Cancellous Bone described as ____ or ____
Trabecular or spongy bone
What % is Cancellous bone? Density? Turnover rate?
20% of bone. Less dense than cortical bone but large surface area. High turnover rate.
Cancellous Bone undergoes remodeling along what/where?
Along lines of stress
What is Wolff’s Law?
Increased mechanical stress will increase bone density
Describe the Periosteum. Where is it?
Thin, double-layered, tough fibrous membrane. Layer that surrounds bone.
Where does Periosteum cover and not cover? (Hint: 2 places)
Covers all bone EXCEPT at ligament or tendon insertion sites.
Periosteum does not cover at which two places?
- Ligament insertion sites
2. Tendon insertion sites
Outer layer of Periosteum contains what two things?
- Capillaries
2. Nerves
What fiber does Inner Layer of Periosteum contain? What does it do? Includes what two things?
Sharpey’s Fibers. Anchors Periosteum to Cortical Bone. Includes tendons and ligaments.
What contained if inner layer of Periosteum is active? Inactive?
Active=Osteoblasts
Inactive=Fibroblasts (can become osteoblasts)
Where and what are fibroblasts?
Within inactive inner layer of periosteum. Can become osteoblasts if new growth needed.
Bone Marrow aka? Where confined to?
Myeloid Tissue. Confined to cavities between osseus component of bone.
General function and regions/types of bone marrow?
Function=Form new blood cells
- Red (active)
- Yellow (Inactive)
Where is Red Bone Marrow? Do all bone have it?
Found in trabecular or spongy bone regions (cancellous bone). Not all bones have it. Found in: Pelvis, vertebra, cranium, manubrum, sternum, ribs, and humerus
Where is Yellow Bone Marrow? What does it represent?
Found in medullary cavity of long bone. Inactive. Represents fatty cells.
What is the name of the artery which supplies the primary source of blood to bones? Where on the bone do they enter?
Nutrient arteries. Enter in middle of diaphysis.
What can a fracture cause a bone to become? Which bones are most likely or “precious”?
Necrotic.
Prox humerus, prox femus, scaphoid, talus, and base of 5th metatarsal are “precious” bones which can become necrotic from a fx
What are the two main components of blood?
- Cellular component
2. Extra Cellular Matrix component
What are the three “osteos” of the Cellular Component of bone?
- Osteoblasts
- Osteoclases
- Osteocytes
What long list of things makes up the Extra Cellular Matrix component of bone?
Collagen, ECM proteins, proteoglycans, cytokines, growth factors, minerals, etc
Osteoprogenitor cells make what?
Osteoblasts
Osteoblasts comes from which cells? Where are Osteoblasts located?
From osteoprogenitor cells. Located on bone surfaces and inner surface of periosteum.
Osteoblasts located on bone surfaces (Haversian Canal, trabecular) and innersurface of periosteum are what?
Metabolically active
Osteoblasts located in deeper bone are what? How can that change?
Metabolically inactive until stimulated by physical disruption (Trauma, fx, etc)
What is the function of Osteoblasts and what do they make?
Form new bone. Make non-mineralized matrix (osteoid) for new bone formation.
What cells do Osteoblasts regulate?
Osteoclasts
Osteocytes are formed from what cell?
Osteoblasts
When does an Osteoblast become an Osteocyte?
When the surrounding bone matrix (osteoid) is mineralized
What is the name of the small cavity where osteocytes are located?
Lacunae
What are the majority of cells in the bone?
Osteocytes
What is the function of osteocytes?
Stimulate bone remodeling process by secreting enzymes which dissolve surrounding bone mineral and prepare for remodeling.
