how much marrow does short bones have?

A

a negligible amount. this is because they have little spongey bone

62
Q

which bone, compact or spongey, has lots of passageways for nerves and blood vessels?

A

compact

63
Q

what is the structural unit of compact bone?

A

Osteon (Haversian System)

64
Q

what is the structure of osteon?

A
  • long-cylinder parallel to axis of bone acting like tiny weight-bearing pillars

A

opposite directions

66
Q

74
Q

what are canaliculi?

A

canals connecting adjacent lamellae is an osteon

75
Q

what does bone growth start with?

A

osteogenic mitotically active stem cells that will develop into type B osteoblasts
- located in the periosteum and endosteum membranes

76
Q

what are the three stages of bone growth?

A

osteoprogenitor cell –> osteoblast –> osteocyte

77
Q

what are osteoblasts?

A

bone-forming cells that are active mitotically that will secrete bone matrix, collagen and calcium binding proteins

78
Q

what happens when osteoblasts become completely surrounded by matrix?

A

they become type C, osteocytes

79
Q

what are osteocytes?

A

mature bone cells that monitor matrix and act as stress sensors

80
Q

what does osteoclasts do?

A

break down old cells and absorb surrounding matrix

81
Q

what is ossification?

A

bone formation

82
Q

what are the two methods of ossification?

A
  1. intramembranous
  2. endochondral
83
Q

what is intramembranous ossification?

A

bone develops from a fibrous membrane
- ex. clavicle, bones of skull

84
Q

what is endochondral ossification?

A

when bone replaces hyaline cartilage
- ex. almost all bones in body form this way

85
Q

what is the first step of the intramembranous ossification?

A

the development of the ossification center;
at a site where the bone will develop, osteoblasts clump in the fibrous tissue and form spongey bone and these osteoblast secrete extracellular matrix

86
Q

what is an osteoid?

A

an immature bone

87
Q

what are the four steps of intramembranous ossification?

A
  1. development of ossification center
  2. calcification
  3. formation of trabeculae
  4. development of the periosteum
88
Q

what happen at the calcification step of intramembranous ossification?

A

the secretion stops, the matrix hardens, it calcifies and the cells are now called osteocytes

89
Q

what happens at the formation of trabeculae step of intramembranous ossification?

A

extracellular matrix develops into trabeculae that fuse to form into spongy bone and red marrow will appear

90
Q

what happens at the development of the periosteum step of intramembranous ossification?

A

mesenchyme at the periphery of the bone condenses and develops into the periosteum and then we get the layer of compact bone

91
Q

how does bone grow?

A

osteoclasts break down bone to form larger ones
- breaks down old cells and absorb the surrounding matrix

92
Q

what cartilage ossifies to bone?

A

hyaline

93
Q

what are the steps of endochondral ossification?
(not important)

A
  1. development of cartilage model
  2. growth of cartilage model
  3. development of primary ossification center
  4. development of the medullary (marrow) cavity
  5. development of secondary ossification
  6. formation of articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate
94
Q

what are the steps of endochondral ossification?

(important)

A
  • bone grows on outside of diaphysis
  • cartilage in the center of the diaphysis will calcify and develop a cavity
  • the blood vessels will invade the internal cavity which becomes spongey bone
  • the diaphysis will elongate and officially a medullary cavity will form
  • a secondary ossification will appear in the epiphyses and the epiphyses will ossify
  • then we get the formation of our articular cartilage and our epiphyseal growth plate
95
Q

how does bone grow?

A

with endochondral ossification, it will occur at the end of the bone as well as near the epiphyseal plate of interstitial growth

96
Q

at what age does the epiphyseal plate become ossified? (epiphyseal plate closure)

A

age 18 to 21

97
Q

what is the only way that the diaphysis can increase in length?

A

the activity of the epiphyseal plate

98
Q

what do the chondrocytes do as the bone grows?

A

the chondrocytes proliferate on the epiphyseal side of the plate and new chondrocytes replace the older ones that are destroyed by the calcification process
- the change of cartilage to bone
thus, the cartilage is replaced on this side of the epiphyseal plate so the diaphaseal side (the shaft side of the plate) and the thickness of the epiphyseal plate is able to stay about the same as this bone is growing in length

99
Q

how do bones maintain the same shape and strength when growing longer?

A

they need to grow in width (bone remodelling)

100
Q

how do bones grow in width?

A

osteoblasts secreting new matrix beneath the periosteum in some areas and the osteoclast-reabsorbing bone in other areas to keep the proper width to match the new length

101
Q

how much of bone mass is recycled per week?

A

5-7%

102
Q

how often is spongey bone replaced?

A

every 3-4 years

103
Q

how often is compact bone replaced?

A

every 10 years

104
Q

what happens to the bones is calcium sits too long in them?

A

the bones will become brittle

105
Q

what are the two sites of control we have for the control of bone growth?

A
  1. hormonal
  2. mechanical stress (tension vs compression)
106
Q

what are the three considerations of a bone fracture?

A
  1. position of bone (displaced vs non-displaced)
  2. completeness of break (complete vs incomplete)
  3. skin penetration (closed aka simple vs open aka compound)
107
Q

what is a comminuted bone fracture?

A

bone fragments into three or more pieces
- common in the elder because of brittleness

108
Q

what is a compression bone fracture?

A

bone is crushed

109
Q

what is a spiral fracture?

A

ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone

110
Q

what is an epiphyseal fracture?

A

epiphysis separates from the diaphysis along the epiphyseal plate

111
Q

what is a depression fracture?

A

portion of broken bone is pressed inward
- typical in skull fracture

112
Q

what is a greenstick fracture

A

bone breaks incompletely. one side of diaphysis is broken and the other side bends
- common in children

113
Q

what is a closed (external) reduction?

A

in a displaced bone fracture repair, a physician manually coaxes bone ends back into position

114
Q

what is an open (internal) reduction?

A

in a displaced bone fracture repair, bone ends are secured surgically with pins or wires

115
Q

what are the steps of a fracture healing?

A
  • blood rushes to the area with repair cells
  • fibrocartilaginous callus forms
  • bony callus forms (remodeling)
116
Q

what is osteomalacia?

A

a bone disorder in adults
- soft/weak bones due to poor mineralization
- vitamin d or calcium deficiency
- will leave you “bowl legged”
- same disorder in children is called rickets

117
Q

what is rickets?

A

a bone disorder in children
- called osteomalacia in adults
- analogous disease in children
- more dangerous since bones are growing rapidly
- epiphyseal plate cannot calcify so long bones become enlarged
- seen in poverty and in underdeveloped nations (because diets are poor)
- will leave you “bowl legged”

118
Q

what is osteoporosis?

A

bone reabsorption happens at a higher rate than the forming of bone (deposition)
- common in older adults
- bones get more brittle
- more common in women
- treatment: Calcium, Vitamin D, Hormone Replacement Therapy
- prevention: adequate nutrition, load-bearing exercise

119
Q

the amount of bone tissue in the skeleton (bone mass) can keep growing and accumulating until what age?

A

late 20s
- you’ll reach your maximum strength and density or peek bone mass
- important to have best strength and density
