what is crucial for bone strength?

A

organic & inorganic components of bone

35
Q

what happens to bone without minerals?

A

-becomes rubbery

36
Q

what happens to bone without collagen?

A
  • osteocytes
  • osteoblasts
  • osteoclasts
  • osteoprogenitors
38
Q

what are osteocytes? What do they do?

A
  • mature bone cells

- maintain bone matrix

39

-add to/build new bone matrix during growth & remodeling

40
Q

what do osteoclasts do?

A

-remove/tear down bone matrix during growth & remodeling

41
Q

what do osteoprogenitors do?

42
Q

what is the arrangement of materials used to make a whole bone?

A
  • periosteum
  • endosteum
  • osteons
  • trabeculae
43
Q

what is periosteum?

A

-2-layered tissue that covers the outside surface of a whole bone

44
Q

what are the two tissues in periosteum?

A
  • dense connective tissue proper (outer layer)

- epithelial tissue (inside layer)

45
Q

what is endosteum?

A

-type of epithelial tissue that covers the inside surface (lining f marrow cavity) of a whole bone

46
Q

is the fibrous layer of the periosteum the inner our outer layer?

A

outer

47
Q

is the cellular layer of the periosteum the inner our outer layer?

A

inner

48
Q

what are osteons?

A

circular, repeating unit of compact bone

49
Q

what are trabeculae?

A

spongy (cancellous) bone arrangement in a whole bone

50
Q

what is the compact (dense) bone arrangement in a whole bone?

A

osteons (Haversian systems)

51
Q

what is the function of the central canal within the osteons?

A

allows passageway through bone for veins, artey, nerves

52
Q

what are concentric lamellae?

A
  • rings of the osteons

- where veins, arteries, & nerves run through bone

53
Q

what are lacunae?

A

spaces where octeocytes (bone cells) are located

54
Q

what are perforating canals?

A

canals that run horizontal between central canal to connect veins, nerves, & arteries to one another within osteons of bone

55
Q

what gives compressive strength?

A

circular arrangment (concentric lamellae) of solidified osteoid

56
Q

what to collagen fiber components do?

A

add flexibility

57
Q

what is canaliculi

A

passageway through solid matter so octeocytes can extend out and communicate & pass resources to one another

58
Q

does spongy bone have osteons

A

no

59
Q

what is trabecula?

A
  • formed by matrix in spongy bone
    • like honeycomb
  • random directions
60
Q

how much skeletal mass is recycled pr year?

A

about 1/5

61
Q

what factors affect rate of build-up/breakdown of bones?

A
  • exercise
  • hormones
  • diet
  • aging
62
Q

what hormone affect the build-up/breakdown of bones?

A
  • estrogen/testosterone
  • growth hormone
  • thyroid hormone
  • calcitonin/ parathyroid hormones
63
Q

what in diet affect the build-up/breakdown of bones?

A
  • vitamin d

- vitamin c

64
Q

what is vitamin D needed for in bones?

A

-calcium absorption

65
Q

what is vitamin C needed for in bones?

A

-collagen formation

66
Q

what is osteoporosis?

A
  • “porous bone”

- not normal

67
Q

what happens with osteoporosis?

A
  • loose bone mass in spongy bone
  • loose strength of bone
  • body begins compress & change orientation of vertebral column
  • breaking hips easier
68
Q

what causes osteoporosis?

A
  • hereditary
  • age
  • malnutrition
69
Q

what stimulates osteoblasts?

A
  • exercise

- weight bearing

70
Q

what is osteopenia?

A
  • loosing small amounts of bone mass

- normal
