What are the 2 major types of bone?
Compact
Spongy
What are other names for spongy bone?
Cancellous or trabecular
Compact bone is _______, meaning mature bone
Lamellar
T/F: compact bone is solid and relatively dense, found on external suraces of long and flat bones. It encloses spongy bone
True
Spongy/cancellous/trabecular bone contains ________, which are open lattice networks of narrow plates
Trabeculae
Spongy/cancellous/trabecular bone is porous to house what substance?
Bone marrow
T/F: spongy bone is woven bone (nonlamellar)
False, it can be either lamellar or woven
What classification of bone refers to mature or secondary bone and has regular, parallel arrangement of collagen fibers?
Lamellar bone
T/F: most adult bone is lamellar
True
What classification of bone refers to immature or primary bone that is characterized by a loose arrangement of collagen fibers?
Woven bone (nonlamellar)
Woven bone has lower mineral content with more cells, and is usually replaced by what?
Lamellar bone
Under what conditions does woven bone form?
During fracture repair and remodeling
The _______ refers to the knobby regions at the ends of bone that have superficial compact bone with spongy bone deep to the surface
Epiphysis
The _________ region of bone is located between the diaphysis and epiphysis
Metaphysis
What type of bone is found in the metaphysis region?
Spongy
The elongated shaft of a bone is referred to a the ______
Diaphysis
What landmark of bone forms within the metaphysis after fusion of the epiphyseal plate?
Epiphyseal line
The _______ _______ is the cylindrical space in the diaphysis containing bone marrow
Medullary cavity
The ____________ is a bone covering made up of dense irregular CT covering the external surface
Periosteum
The periosteum does not cover _________ cartilages and is neurovascular.
It is anchored by __________ fibers embedded in the bone matrix.
It contains __________
Articular
Perforating
Osteoblasts
The ___________ is the CT lining of the medullary cavity of bone
Endosteum
What cell types are found in the endosteum?
Osteoprogenitor cells
Reticular cells of bone marrow
CT fibers
What type of bone growth is associated with the periosteum?
Appositional
Which layer of periosteum contains osteoprogenitor cells located next to mature bone that retain potential for bone injury and repair?
Inner layer
Which layer of periosteum is rich in vasculature, fibroblasts and collagen fibers?
Outer layer
What type of fibers are found in the outer layer of periosteum and anchor to outer circumferential lamellae?
Sharpey’s fibers
Bone is 90% ECM and 10% H2O and is made up of organic and inorganic components.
What are some of the organic components?
Type I collagen fibers
Proteoglycans
Other proteins: osteocalcin, osteopontin, osteonectin
