Lecture 7 Flashcards
Bone?
Specialized CT
Is Bone Vascular?
Yes, blood supply allows for bone repair
Bone can be ___ or ___?
-Compact (made of osteons)
-Spongy (trabecular + NO osteons)
Bone is covered by?
Periosteum (dense irregular CT)
Function of Bone?
Structural support, anchoring muscle, calcium storage
Cells + ECM (fibers)=?
Intercellular component of Bone
Osteocytes are housed in?
Lacunae in the matrix
~90% of calcium is stored in the?
Bone as matrix
Matrix Components?
-Calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite crystals)
-Type I collagen –> produced by osteoblasts
-Ground substance = PGs + GAGs (keratin/chondroitin sulfate) + Glycoproteins (laminin, fibronectin)
Fibroblasts produce?
Collagen Fibers
Fibroblasts, Chondroblasts, and Osteoblasts produce?
Collagen Fibers
Fibrocartilage also has?
Type I collagen fibers
Epiphysis?
Ends of Long bones (made up of spongy bone) (contains red marrow –> produces RBCs)
Epiphyseal Line?
Growth Plate (made up of hyaline cartilage –> replaced with compact bone)
Diaphysis?
Shaft of Long Bones (made up of compact bone) (contains medullary cavity)
Medullary Cavity?
Site of Bone Marrow
Periosteum?
Outer covering of dense irregular CT covering bone (contains osteoblasts)
Bone Marrow can be?
Red or Yellow
(red= blood cells)
(yellow= adipose (fat) cells)
Compact Bone is made up of?
Lamellae
Lamellae?
Rings of Thin Bone
Perichondrium covers?
Cartilage and contains chondroblasts
