lecture 6 Flashcards
bone is made of (6)
bone (osseous) tissue
cartilage
dense connective tissue
epithelial tissue
adipose tissue
nervous tissue
osteology
the study of bone structure
skeleton 6 main functions
supports body (framework)
protects internal organs
assists movement
assists mineral homeostasis
red blood cell production
store triglycerides
diaphysis
shaft of the bone
epiphysis
knobby ends of the bone
metaphysis
region between epiphysis and diaphysis. neck sort of thing
articular cartilage
reduced friction between joints, made of hyaline
periosteum
outer covering of the bones where tendons and ligaments attach
medullary cavity
hollow portion of diaphysis
endosteum
membrane that lines medullary cavity, made of 1 layer of osteocytes and thin connective tissue
% makeup of bone ECM
15 water, 30 collagen fibres, 55 mineral salts
calcification
harding of ECM
primary elements in bone
calcium first, then phosphorous
cells make up ____% of bone
2
4 cells in bone (o cell)
osteoprogenitor cells
osteoblasts
osteocytes
osterclasts
osteoprogenitor cells
stem cells of bone, located deep to the periosteum
osteoblasts
secrete collagen and other components of bone ECM. do not divide, once immobilized by its secretions, they become osteocytes
osteocytes
mature bone cells, do not divide or secrete, acquire nutrients and eliminate wastes
osteoclasts
catabolize bone, formed by 50 ish monocytes (WBCs), secrete lysosomal enzymes and acids, release minerals into blood
(bone resorption)
bone resorption
process done by osteoclasts where bone is catabolized or broken down and the minerals are released into the blood
where to find compact bone tissue
diaphysis of long bones
surrounding all bones (deep to periosteum)
where to find spongy bone tissue
inside epiphysis of long bones
inside flat bones (many of the axial skeleton)
structure of compact bone
strongest of bone tissues
resistant to mechanical stress
dense ECM
structural unit = osteons
bone remodeling
arrangement of osteons and trabeculae due to mechanical stress
types of lamellae
interstitial = old concentric from old osteons
concentric = rings around central canal
circumferential = surround long bone
interosteonic canals
provide passage for blood vessels and nerves
penetrates bone from periosteum to medullary cavity
travels between osteons
trabeculae structure
projections of bone tissue arranged alone areas of stress
surrounded by red bone marrow
is lighter that compact bone
supports and protects bone marrow
handles stress along multiple axes better then compact
periosteal arteries
nourish periosteum
nutrient artery
enters bone through nutrient foramen
penetrates diaphysis and branches into bone marrow
