skeletal 2 Flashcards
Compact bone
dense smooth, outer layer bone
Osteon
unit of compact bone
Blood & nerve supply
Central (= Haversian) canal
@ center of osteon
Volkmann’s (perforating) canals
perpendicular to central canal
Connect central canals to surface
Lacunae w/ osteocytes
in layered rings
Canaliculi
contain osteocyte processes in their radiating boney channels – interconnecting cells
Lamellae
layered rings of osteocytes in lacunae)
Osteonic lamellae (concentric rings around central canal)
Alternating canaliculi directions are strong
Interstitial lamellae (between osteons)
Circumferential lamellae
External – external to all compact bone
Internal – internal to compact bone
CT Membranes of Osseous Tissue
Endosteum –
Periosteum
Endosteum
internal to spongy bone, outlines medullary cavity
Periosteum
around compact bone
Outer layer is fibrous & acts as attachment site for muscles, tendons, & ligaments.
Inner layer is osteogenic w/ Sharpey’s fibers attaching to compact layer.
Nutrient foramina pierce both.
Chemical Composition of Bone
Bone is a CT = cells + calcified matrix
Cells – CT so these are from mesenchyme
Osteoprogenitor
(“like osteogenic”) – stem cell for other types
Osteoblast – BLAST
immature cell, secretes matrix
Osteocyte – CYTE
mature cell, maintains matrix
Osteoclast – CLAST
destroying cell, “eats” matrix
