Lecture 8- Histology of Bone Flashcards
What are the different bone shapes
Long, short, irregular flat
What are the parts of the long bone
Epiphysis, metaphysis, diaphysis
What is the epiphysis
End of long bone, near articular cartilage
What is the metaphysis
Between articular cartilage and shaft
What is the diaphysis
Shaft of bone
Classifying bones by density/porosity
Compact vs cancellous
What are the functions of the bone
Structural framework for support and protection of body organs, levers for muscles to attain movement, house and make blood cells, fat storage, reservoir for minerals= calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium
Bone is inelastic therefore bone is very good at ____ but less good at
Resisting tensile forces but less at resisting compressive and shearing forces
Organic component of bone matrix
Primarily made of type 1 collagen
Inorganic component of bone matrix
Calcium hydroxyapatite- mainly calcium and phosphorus
Periosteum and endosteum
Vascularized connective tissue that lines the surface of bone, nourish bone tissue and make bone cells for appositional growth
What does periosteum line
External surface of bone
What are the two layers of periosteum
Fibrous and inner cellular layer
Fibrous periosteum
Outer layer of dense connective tissue
Inner cellular layer
Contains osteogenic cells
What does the endosteum linen and do
Central cavity, loose CT, has monolayer of osteogenic cells and osteoblasts
Compact bone
Provides support to external surfaces of bone and makes up shafts of long bone, made of 4 lamellar systems =- outer circumferential, inner circumferential, osteons, interstitial
What is the outer circumferential lamellae
Deep to periosteum, outermost region of diaphysis, contains sharpey’s fibers anchoring periosteum to bone
Inner circumferential lamellae
Completely encircle the marrow cavity, trabecullae of spongy bone extend into marrow cavity
Osteons
Form bulk of compact bone
Interstitial lamellae
Remnants of osteons after osteoclast resorption
Secondary osteons
Form as bone remodels- replaces tissue damaged via micro fractures- form concentric lamellae of bone
Central canal
Contains blood vessels and nerves
Perforating canal
Connect central canals with each other and blood vessels in the periosteum and marrow cavity, perpendicular to central canals
Two different microtextures of bone
Woven (immature)and lamellar (mature)
