MSK 13 - Bone structure, growth and repair Flashcards
what are the two types of bone
spongy and compact bone
what is compact bone in terms of strength and
dense bone strongest part of bone
what are the functional units of compact bone
osteons
where is compact bone found and what kind of stress directions is it able to withstand
on the periphery of bone near the diaphysis
areas with the highest forces - stresses in one direction
what are the functional units of spongy bone
trabeculae
what areas are spongy bone found in and what kind of stress directions is it able to withstand
where we want bones to be lighter
areas where stressors come from many directions
what is the periosteum
fibrous outer membrane of bone
what are the inner cells of the periosteum and what do they allow
progenitor cells allows osteoprogenesis
what process is periosteum important for
bone healing
what is the endosteum
inner lining of bone
every trabeculae is covered in what lining
endosteum
bone marrow is the source of what and what process is it involved in
source of RBC
involved in haemopoesis (blood making)
what is bone storing
fat/adipose tissue
what process is cartilage important for and what does it do
important in bone formation
joints bones together and cushions joints
what are lamallae
layers of bone matrix
what are osteons
single unit of bone
what is the structure of osteons and where are they found
only found in compact bone
structure is concentric rings of lamallae, hollow central canal for blood vessels, osteocytes lie in lacuna and use canciculi to communicate with each other
structure runs in same axis as the force
what are caniculi
channels in bone that allows cells to sit in and communicate with each other
facilitates nutrition
what bone is found in the epiphysis
spongy bone
what bone is found along the edge of the whole bone
compact bone
what is contained in the medullary cavity
marrow and blood
what are the 4 types of bone cells
osteoprogenitor cells
osteoblasts
osteocytes
osteoclasts
what do osteoprogenitor cells develop into
osteoblasts
what is an osteoprogenitor cell
stem cell that will form into an osteoblast
