Skeletal 1000ft review Flashcards
What gives rise to new bone
mesenchymal stem cells
what cells create new bone
osteoblasts
What boney cells are mechanoreceptors
osteocytes
What do osteoclasts do
reabsorb bone and assist with mineral homeostasis
What is the periosteum and what does it contain
covering of the bone than contains vasculature and nerves
What cells develop osteoblasts
osteoprogenator cells
How many layers make up the periosteum
2
What does the external layer of the periosteum contain
vasculature and nerves -> branch through volkman canals
What is the most sensitive area of bone
external layer of periosteum because of nerves
What does the internal layer of the periosteum contain
Osteoprogenitor cells
How is the internal layer of the periosteum attached to the bone
sharpey fibers
What makes up roughly 85% of the bone
compact or cortical bone
What makes up the cortical bone
Haversian system
What is the functional unit of the Haversian system
Osteon
what is the lamellae
Central or Haversian canal surrounded by layers of matrix
What does the lamellae contain
Arterial / venous blood supply, nerves, lymph
What are lacunae
spaces between lamellae layers
Where are osteocytes found
in the lacunae
Why are osteocytes within the lacunae covered in fluid
To allow for transfer of nutrients and waste
what are canaliculi
Extensions of the osteocyte that allow for nutritional exchange
Where is the volkman canal
Perpendicular to the Haversian canal and contain the vasculature
Which part of the bone is layered, mesh like formation of trabeculae
Spongy bone
What covers the spongy bone
Endosteum
What is the role of the spongy bone
Assist with metabolic demands of the bone
