Lesson 5 Flashcards
The bone is the most highly differentiated connective tissues.
It is rigid (not bendable) and it makes up our skeletons.
Functions of the bones:
* Support
* Storage of minerals (Calcium (Ca), Phosphate (P))
* Blood cell production
* Protection
* Movement
o Human body: 206 adult bones
Bones are second to cartilage in its ability to withstand stress.
It consists of osteocytes, fibers and ground substance (matrix) which are calcified to make it hard and brittle.
Osteocytes are cells of the bone.
BONES
Functions of the bones:
- Support
- Storage of minerals (Calcium (Ca), Phosphate (P))
- Blood cell production
- Protection
- Movement
– immature bone cell
o Secretes main organic component of matrix
o Produces bone matrix
- Osteoblast
mature bone cell
o Maintains the bone matrix
- Osteocytes
TYPES OF BONES
- Spongy bone (Cancellous bone)
- Compact bone
o Absorbs and removes the bone matrix
- Osteoclast
- Small, needle-like, abundant open spaces
- Inner bone part
- Spongy bone (Cancellous bone)
- Dense, homogeneous
- Outer bone part, most rigid
- Contains functional unit – osteon
- Compact bone
rings around the central canal
- Lamellae
Ground bone consists of the Haversian lamellae which surrounds the small Haversian canals
GROUND BONE
opening in the center of the osteon
o Where blood vessels and nerves are located
o Vascular (has blood supply)
- Canal
lodged in the lacunae.
Osteocytes
the lacunae are artifacts or dirt that accumulated when the bone was washed during specimen preparation.

What does COMPACT AND SPONGY BONE consist of
- external circumferential lamellae
- internal circumferential lamellae
- haversian lamellae
- haversian canal
- lacunae
- bone canaliculi
Binds, supports and protects organs
Comes together to form the skeleton
COMPACT BONE
Compact bone tissue consists of units called osteons or Haversian systems.
Osteons are cylindrical structures that contain a mineral matrix and living osteocytes connected by canaliculi, which transport blood
OSTEON
The bone marrow is responsible for hematopoiesis.
Hematopoiesis is the production of bloods cells.
The bone marrow consists of hematopoietic cords, blood vessels, and adipose cells.
Adipose cells are seen using sudanophilic stain.
BONE MARROW
Transports hormones, nutrients and cells all over the body.
Only fluid tissue in the human body
Oxygenated (O2) – scarlet red
Deoxygenated (O2 poor) – dull red
BLOOD
scarlet red
Oxygenated (O2
dull red
Deoxygenated (O2 poor
contains anti-coagulant (EDTA, Sodium Citrate, Heparin)
Plasma
No anti-coagulant (red, yellow w/stopper)
