Lecture 1: Musculoskeletal 1 Flashcards
Structure + Formation of Bones
formation of RBC, attachment sites for muscles to facilitate movement, protection of vital organs, gives the human body form, mineral + hormonal homeostasis
Components in Bone Tissue
Components in Bone Tissue
cells, fibers, ground substance, crystallized minerals
Function of bone cells
enable bone to grow, repair, change, shape synthesize new bone tissue & reabsorb new tissue
Osteoblasts
formation of new bones
derived from mesenchymal stem cells
responds to parathyroid hormone (PTH)
synthesizes osteoids for the formation of new bones
Osteoclasts
breakdown of old bony tissue
from osteoblasts»_space;»> osteoblasts
Elements of Bone Tissue
Rigid connective tissue
cells, fibers, ground substance, bone matrix, calcification
The 2 types of bone cells
- longitudinal long bone-cancellous (solid & spongy fiber) & contact bone
- compact bone
Collagen Fibers (bone matrix)
bulk of bone matrix
backbone of bony tissue
provides some strength
Proteoglycans (bone matrix)
strengthen bone
plays a role in calcium deposition & calcifications
Glycoproteins (bone matrix)
controls collagen interactions»_space;> fibril formation
sialoprotein, osteocalcin, bone album, alpha-glycoprotein
bone minerals (bone matrix)
formation of initial mineral deposit, proliferation
calcium + phosphate
Number of bones in the body
206
Axial bones
skull, vertebrae
80
appendicular bones
peripheral bones, limbs, upper/lower extremities, shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle
(126)
Examples of long bones
diaphysis, metathesis, epiphysis, medullary (marrow) cavity, endosternum
Examples of Flat bones
skull, ribs, sternum, scapula
Examples of Short Bones
wrists and ankles
Examples of Irregular Bones
vertebrae, face, mandibles
What is bone remodeling?
- repair of microscopic bone injuries
- existing bone is reabsorbed and new bone is formed
- *is a continual process - always happening**
