Lect 5 Flashcards
What are the four main tissue types?
Epithelium, connective, muscle and nervous
What is the purpose of epithelium?
It lines the surfaces and cavities in sheets of flat or pleated cells – regulate transport of materials and form glands
What is the purpose of connective tissue?
To form skeletal structure, provide conduit for blood vessels and nerves, make attachments and provide support, allows for transport of nutrients, storage of metabolites, and basis for tissue repair – combination of cells and ECM
What are the subtypes of connective tissue?
Loose - areolar tissue
Dense - irregular or regular
Determined by composition and organization of ECM
What are the resident cells of connective tissue and the wandering cells?
Resident cells - fibroblasts and adipocytes
Wandering - macrophages, mast cells and other leukocytes
What is the purpose of the musculoskeletal system?
To provide protection and support, blood cell formation, mineral homeostasis, storage of fat and miners, and leverage – system of bones, joints and muscles working together
What tissue types comprise the musculoskeletal system?
Bones, ligaments, cartilage, skeletal muscle and tendons
What is the composition of bone?
70% inorganic calcium phosphate in a crystalline structure, 22% water and 8% organic which is mostly collagen
What are the different types of bones?
Compact/cortical or spongry and immature or mature through process of remodeling and long bones or flat bones
When do the rings in compact bone microanatomy form?
During remodeling
What are the ring structures in bone called and what runs through their center?
Osteons - with haversian canal to allow blood and nerves through
What are the canals that allow blood vessels through perpendicular to haversial canals?
Volkmann’s canal
What is the inside layer and outside layer of bone called?
Inside - endosteum and outside facing periphery is periosteum
Where is spongy bone found in long bones?
Mostly in the ends
What type of cartilage is at the end of long bones?
Articular cartilage
What are the various sections of the long bone?
The ends are the epiphysis containing the growth plates of epiphyseal lines
Metaphysis is the neck region and diaphysis is the shaft with an inner marrow cavity
What is bundled in the epiphysis of long bones and why?
Trabeculae to resist compression because bundles are very tight and crosslinked by running in different directions
What are the main cell types in bone?
Osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts
What are mature osteoblasts called?
Osteocytes
What is the distribution of cell types in osteoperosis?
A net loss of bone mass due to decreased osteoblasts or increased osteoclasts
What are the main features of osteoblasts?
They are derived from primitive osteoprogenitor cells - found on the internal bone surface - secrete osteoid to be mineralized and become osteocytes when surrounded by mineralized matrix
What is required to be present for bone formation?
Blood vessels
What are the main features of osetocytes?
They are mature osteoblasts surrounded by matrix they produced – have extensive canaliculi (cytoplasmic processes that stretch out to bone surface for signaling) and gap junctions between adjacent osteocytes – function in turnover and maintenance of bone matrix and remodeling
