Histology: Bone (Exam 2) Flashcards
How is the connective tissue of bone characterized by
mineralized extracellular matrix
What is the ECM of bone composed of
Hydroxyapatite crystals
Collagen I
Glycoproteins
What glycoproteins are found in bone
osteocalcin
osteonectin
osteopontin
What cells is bone composed of
osteocyte
osteoblast
osteoprogenitor cells
osteoclast
What is the function of bone
support
protect
storage for calcium and phosphate
What are the histological components of bone
bone tissue hemopoeitic tissue fat tissue Dense CT vessels nerves endosteum
Where is hemopoeitic tissue found
in the red bone marrow in the epiphysis
Where is fat tissue found
yellow bone marrow of the shaft
Where is dense connective tissue found
outer fibrous layer of periosteum
What are the fibers of the periosteum that extend into the bone called
Sharpey’s fibers
What is the endosteum
covers the inner surface of the marrow cavity
What cells are found in the endosteum
osteoprogenitor or endosteal cells
What is the function of osteoprogenitor cells
differentiate into osteocytes
What are the two types of bone
compact bone
spongy bone
Where is compact bone found
within the shaft
Where is spongy bone found
forming trabeculae
What are the different classifications of bone, based on shape
long bone
short bone
flat bone
irregular bone
What is a haversian lamellae
concentric lamellae surrounding a haversian canal
What do the concentric lamellae surrounding a haversian canal form
cylindrical units called osteon or haversian systems
What is the axis of the haversian system parallel with
the shaft
What is contained within a haversian canal
vessels and nerves
What is a Volkmann’s canal
horizontal canal leading from one haverian canal to another
Where are osteocytes found
in lacunae between the lamellae
What are canaliculi
hair like canals that connect lacunae to each other and the central canal
What are canaliculi formed from
osteocytes
What is interstitial lamellae
old haversian systems found between osteons and fill the space
What is the outer circumferential lamellae
lining on the outer surface of bone under periosteum
What is the inner circumferential lamellae
lining on inner sruface of bone under the endosteum
Where is immature bone found
skeleton of developing fetus, adult alveolar sockets, and tendon attachments
What is immature bone composed of
nonlamellar bone composed of interlacing collagen fibers
Describe the appearance of immature bone
more cell rich than mature bone
cells randomly arranged
What is the matrix of immature bone compared to mature bone
less mineralized with more ground substance than mature bone
