how many bones in a human adult
206
difference between axial and appendicular skeleton
axial: skull, vertebral, thorax
appendicular: pectoral girdle & upper limbs; pelvic girdle & lower limbs
where and what is the periosteum
fibrous outer layer
osteogenic underneath layer
NOT on articular cartilage
functions of the bones
support movement, protection, electrolyte balance, acid-base balance (calcium, phosphate), and storage of energy.
what is marrow cavity
holds yellow and red bone marrow
has endosteum lining
where and what is red marrow found
in flat and irregular bones, ends of adult femur, humerus
hematopoietic
where and what is yellow bone marrow
fat tissue
may differentiate to red marrow at stress
sections of bone structure
diaphysis (shaft)
epiphysis (end)
metaphysis and growth plate (in children)
metaphysis special properties
not found in children
types of bone tissue
spongy and compact
components of bone tissue
1) cells: osteocytes, osteoclast, osteoblast
2) mineralised matrix:
- organic: protein fibres (mostly collagen)
- inorganic: hydroxyapatite specialised crystals contain calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxyapatite (ca10(po4)6(oh)2)
compact bone where is it found
outer layer of bones
shafts of long bones
components of compact bone
made up of osteons (structural unit) consisting of:
- osteocyte, lacuane, canaliculi
- is a concentric lamella (vs circumferential and interstitial)
there is volkmann (perforating) and haversian (central) canals. = blood vessels
where is spongy/cancellous bone found
found in the interior of skull bones, vertebrae, sternum, pelvis,
ends of long bones
how does spongy bone look like
marrow cavities (contain red bone marrow)
between trabeculae beams or plates
