MS1: Generalities Flashcards
describe the characteristics of a bone
- highly vascular CT
- most rigid CT
- contains org nd inorg substances
- undergoes constant metabolism and remodeling
what are the shapes of bones
- long
- short
- irregular
- flat
- cuboidal
- sesamoid
describe the structure of flat and cuboidal bones
it has an outer and inner layer of compact bone with cancellous bone in between
constitutes to 80% of the skeleton
compact bone
describe the structure of compact bone
- has tightly packed osteons or haversian systems
what connects osteons
volkmanns canals
what is interstitial lamellae
space between osteons or kung san sila nakapatong
what is cement line
outer border of osteons
it connects interstitial lamellae
fibrils but does cross the cement line
describe the characteristic of compact bones
slow turnover rate
higher modulus - less stretch
more stiff
what are the contents of compact bones
arterioles
venules
cappilaries
nerves
lymphatic channels
describe cancellous bone
high turnover rate
smaller modulus - more stretch
more elastic
describe the remodeling in cancellous bones
happens according to lines of stress
what are the layers of long bone from superficial to deep
periosteum - outer fibrous cover
cortex - compact bone w haversian systems
endosteum - spongy bone layer
medullary canal
what is the physis
separates epiphysis from metaphysis
epiphysial plate in children
found at the ends of long bones from distal to proximal
epiphysis
physis
metaphysis
diaphesis
compare lamellar vs woven architecture
lamellar - more organized or alternating layers
- normal architecture of cortical nd cancellous
woven - interconnected nd has no pattern
- immature or pathological
- woven matures to lamellar
where are bone cells from
mesenchymal stem cells
compare membranous vs cartilaginous bone formation
membranous: stem cell - osteoblast - bone
cartilaginous: stem cell - chondrocyte - bone
give examples of membranous bone formation
skull, facial bones, clavicle
give examples of enchondral bone formation
majority of bones
