Intro to bone and soft tissue Flashcards
What is bone in muscoskeletal system for bone?
Joint
What is muscle in muscoskeletal system for bone?
Skeletal muscle (voluntary / straited)
What is connective tissue in muscoskeletal system for bone?
- Tendon
- Ligaments
- Cartilage
What are tendons?
Connects muscle to bone
What are ligaments?
Connects bone to bone
What is cartilage?
- Structural support
- Protect tissues
- Attachment sites
What is function of skeletal system?
- support
- movement
- Protection of vital organs
- Calcium storage
- Haematopoesis
How many bones are in the body?
206 Bones (+ sesamoids) [270 in children]
What is part of the appendicular?
pectoral girdle, Upper and Lower Limbs, Pelvic girdle
What is part of axial?
Cranium, Vertebral Column, Rib Cage
What are the different types of bone by shape?
- Flat bone
- Sutured bone
- Short bone
- Irregular bone
- Seasmoid bone
- Long bone
What is an osteogenic cell?
-Bone ‘stem cell
What is an osteocyte? How is it formed?
- ‘Mature’ bone cell
- Formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in its secretions
- Sense mechanical strain to direct osteoclast and osteoblast activity
What is an osteoblast?
- Bone forming’
- Secretes ‘osteoid’
- Catalyse mineralisation of osteoid
What is an osteoclast?
- ‘Bone breaking’
- Dissolve and resorb bone by phagocytosis
- Derived from bone marrow
Where are osteocytes?
Embedded in matrix
Where are osteoclasts?
Bone surfaces and at sites of old, injured or unneeded bone
Where are osteogenic cells?
Deep layers of periosteum
Where are osteoblasts?
Growing portions of bone, including periosteum and endosteum
What are the two sections of bone matrix?
- Organic component (40%)
2. Inorganic component (60%)
What are the types of organic component in bone matrix?
- Type 1 collagen (90%)
2. Ground substance (10%) - proteoglycans, glycoproteins, cytokine and growth factors
What are types of inorganic component in bone matrix?
- Calcium hydroxyapatite
2. Osteocalcium phosphate
What is immature bone?
- First bone that is produced
- Laid down in a ‘woven’ manner – relatively weak
- Mineralised and replaced by mature bone
What is mature bone? What are the two types?
•Mineralised woven bone
•Lamellar (layer) structure – relatively strong
-Cortical
-Cancellous
What is cancellous bone?
- ‘Spongy’ – honeycomb structure
* Not suitable for weight-bearing
What is cortical bone?
- ‘Compact’ – dense
* Suitable for weight bearing
Describe cancellous bone
- Trabeculae (matrix of inorganic tissue
- Volume without weight
What is compact bone?
- Few spaces
* Provides protection, support and resists stresses produced by weight of movement
What are osteons?
Repeated structural units ‘Osteons’ – concentric ‘Lamellae’ around a central ‘Haversian Canal’
What is in the Haversian canal?
blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics.
What are the lacunae?
- small spaces containing osteocytes
- Tiny Canaliculi radiate from lacunae filled with extracellular fluid
