Perforating canal, aka Volkmann’s canals.

37
Q

What is the spongy bone also known as?

A

Cancellous bone

38
Q

What is the similarities and differences between compact bone and spongy bone?

A

Like compact bone, spongy bone contains osteocytes housed in lacunae but they are not arranged in concentric circles.

39
Q

Where are the lacunae and osteocytes found in a spongy bone?

A

In a lattice-like network of matrix spikes called trabeculae.

40
Q

What is the function of the trabecula?

A

It forms along lines of stress to provide strength to the bone.

41
Q

What is the purpose of the spaces of the trabeculated network?

A

Provide balance to the dense and heavy compact bone by making bones lighter so that muscles cam move them more easily.

42
Q

Where do the spongy bone and medullary cavity receive nourishment from?

A

From arteries that pass through the compact bone.

43
Q

Where do the arteries enter?

A

Through the nutrient foramen, small opening in the diaphysis.

44
Q

What are the osteocytes in spongy bone nourished by?

A

By blood vessels of the periosteum that penetrate spongy bone and blood that circulates in the marrow cavities.

45
Q

What happens as the blood passes through the marrow cavities?

A

It is collected by veins which then pass out of the bone through the foramina.

46
Q

What are the functions of the nerves?

A

They sense pain and regulate blood supplies and bone growth

47
Q

Bone is a replacement tissue, what does this mean?

A

It uses a model tissue on which to lay down its mineral matrix.

48
Q

For skeletal development, what is the most common template?

A

Cartilage

49
Q

During fetal development, what is the purpose of a framework?

A

It is laid down that determines where bones will form.

50
Q

Cartilage is avascular, what does this mean?

A

It has no blood vessels supplying the nutrients and removing metabolic wastes.

51
Q

Where does bone form throughout fetal development and into childhood growth and development?

A

On the cartilaginous matrix.

52
Q

By the time a fetus is born, what happens to most of the cartilage?

A

They have been replaced with bone.

53
Q

What happens during intramembranous ossification?

A

Compact and spongy bone develops directly from sheets of mesenchymal (undifferentiated) connective tissue.

54
Q

What bones are formed via intramembranous ossification?

A

The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and the clavicles.

55
Q

What is osteoid?

A

Uncalcified matrix, which calcifies (hardens) within a few days as mineral salts are deposited on it, thereby entrapping the osteoblasts within.

56
Q

What happens to the osteoblasts once they are entrapped?

A

They become osteocytes

57
Q

What happens to the osteoid secreted aroung the capillaries?

A

They result in a trabecular matrix

58
Q

What happens to the osteoblasts on the surface of the spongy bone?

A

They become the periosteum

59
Q

What does the periosteum do during intramembranous ossification?

A

It creates a protective layer of compact bone superficial to the trabecular bone.

60
Q

What happens after trabecular bone crowds nearly blood vessels?

A

They eventually condense into red marrow.

61
Q

When and where does intramembranous ossification begin?

A

In utero during fetal development.

62
Q

What are the last bones to ossify via intramembranous ossification?

A

Flat bones of the face.

63
Q

What happens in endochondral ossification?

A

Bone develops by replacing hyaline cartilage.

64
Q

True or False. Cartilage becomes bone. Explain.

A

False, cartilage does not become bone. Cartilage serves as a template to be completely replaced by new bone.

65
Q

What bones are formed via endochondral ossification?

A

Bones at the base of the skull and long bones.

66
Q

What are chondrocytes?

A

Cartilage cells

67
Q

What is the perichondrium?

A

The membrane that covers the cartilage during endochondral ossification in long bones.

68
Q

What happens to the chondrocytes in the center of the cartilaginous model as more matric is produced?

A

They grow in size

69
Q

What happens as the matrix calcifies in long bones?

A

Nutrients can no longer reach the chondrocytes which results in their death and the disintegration of the surrounding cartilage.

70
Q

What happens when the blood vessels invade the resulting spaces during endochondral ossification?

A

They enlarge the cavities and also carry the osteogenic cells with them, many of which become osteoblasts. These enlarged spaces eventually combine to become the medullary cavity.

71
Q

As the cartilage grows, what happens?

A

Capillaries penetrate it which initiates the transformation of the perichondrium into the bone-producing periosteum.

72
Q

What is the primary ossification center?

A

A region deep in the periosteal collar where ossifctaion begins.

73
Q

What increases the bone’s length at the same time bone is replacing cartilage in the diaphyses?

A

Chondrocytes and cartilage that continue to grow at the ends of the bone (the future epiphyses)

74
Q

What happens by the time the fetal skeleton is fully formed?

A

Cartilage only remains at the joint surface as the articular cartilage and between the diaphysis and epiphysis as the epiphyseal plate.

75
Q

After birth, matrix mineralization, death of chondrocytes, invasion of blood vessels from the periosteum and seeding with osteogenic cells that become osteoblasts occurs in the epiphyseal region and each of these centers of activity is referred to as a?

A

Secondary ossification center

76
Q

What is the epiphyseal plate?

A

Area of growth in a long bone.

77
Q

What happens on the epiphyseal side and the diaphyseal side on the epiphyseal plate?

A

epiphyseal side - cartilage is formed
diaphyseal side - cartilage is ossified

78
Q

When the cartilage is ossified on the diaphyseal side, what happens to the diaphysis?

A

It grows in length

79
Q

What are the four zones of cells and activity that an epiphyseal plate is composed of?

A

Reserve zone, proliferative zone, maturation and hypertrophy, and calcified matrix

80
Q

What is appositional growth?

A

bone growth in diameter

81
Q

What is modelling?

A

A process during bone’s growth; Erosion of old bone along the medullary cavity and the deposition of new bone beneath the periosteum

82
Q

What is bone remodelling?

A

Resorption of old or damaged bone takes place on the same surface where osteoblasts lay new bone to replace that which is resorbed.

83
Q

What is hypocalcemia?

A

A condition characterized by abnormally low levels of calcium.

84
Q

Why is adequate calcium is important?

A

Without this, blood has difficulty coagulating, the heart may skip beats or stop beating altogether, muscles may have difficulty contracting, nerves may have difficulty functioning, and bones may become brittle.

85
Q

What is hypercalcemia?

A

A condition characterized by abnormally high levels of calcium

86
Q

What happens when one has hypercalcemia?

A

The nervous system is underactive which results in lethargy, sluggish reflexes, constipation and loss of apetite confusion and in severe cases, coma.

87
Q

What is the purpose of the bones?

A

They act as a storage site for calcium

88
Q

Where does the body deposit and release calcium?

A

The body deposits calcium in the bones when blood levels get too high and it releases calcium when blood levels drop too low.

89
Q

What is the normal calcium level?

A

10 mg/dL
