Skeletal System Part 2 Flashcards
Concentric bony lamellae laid down by successive layers of
osteoblasts
Osteoblasts become trapped in lacunaein osteoid matrix & mature into
osteocytes
Osteocytes connected by minute canals (canaliculi) containing — —
cytoplasmic extensions
canaliculi communicate with each other via
gap junctions
Within center of each osteon is
Haversian canal (canal of Havers)
Haversian canal contains (2)
blood vessels & Nn
Longitudinal Haversian canals are connected by
transverse Volkmann’s canals
Exchange of waste & nutrients occurs via
Haversian vessels
Haversian systems oriented parallel to
long axis of bone
Inactive Haversian systems known as
interstitial systems
Spongy & woven bone lack
Haversian system
Haversian system is present only in
compact lamellar bone
Outer periphery of cortical bone arranged in
circumferential lamellae
Covered by dense connective tissue called
periosteum
bone growth is controlled by (3)
growth hormone, thyroid hormone, & sex hormones
Endochondral ossification
replacement of cartilage precursor by bone
Resulting woven bone is extensively remodeled by (2)
resorption & appostional growth
resorption & appostional growth result in =
lamellar bone (e.g., long bones, vertebrae, pelvis, & base of skull)
Intramembranous ossification
direct replacement of mesenchyme by bone
in intramembranous ossification there is no — precursor
no cartilage precursor
Mesenchymal cells differentiate into —, produce —, later mineralizes into —
osteoblasts
osteoid
bone (e.g., vault of skull)
Precursor of long bone formed of
hyaline cartilage
1’ center of ossification occurs in
mid-diaphysis
Osteoprogenitor cells and osteoblasts secrete osteoid, which mineralizes, forming
periosteal cuff
Calcification of cartilage matrix inhibits diffusion of nutrients resulting in (2)
death of chondrocytes & spread of osteoblasts
Osteoprogenitor cells from periosteum migrate into —, along with — — —
medulla
growing blood vessels
Two 2’ centers of ossification occur in
epiphyses
mineralization spreads across
cartilage matrix
Epiphyseal plate in region of metaphysis remains “—” (i.e., unmineralized)
open
Allows continuous
longitudinal growth
At maturity, hormonal changes decreases — — & cartilage plate is replaced by —
cartilage proliferation
bone
what does the epiphyseal growth plate consist of
several distinct zones in transition from cartilage to bone
Zone of Reserve Cartilage
hyaline cartilage with clusters of chondrocytes
proliferation in zone of reserve cartilage
no cell proliferation
Zone of Proliferation
successive mitotic division of chondrocytes, which results in columns of chondrocytes
Zone of Maturation
division ceases
in the zone of maturation, chondrocytes…
increase in size
Zone of Hypertrophy (& Calcification) (3)
chondrocytes greatly enlarge, contain large amounts of glycogen, become vacuolated & calcify
Zone of (Cartilage) Degeneration
capillaries of marrow cavity grow from diaphysis into growth plate
in the zone of degeneration, chondrocytes degenerate; lacunae invaded by
osteogenic cells
Zone of Ossification
blood vessels from marrow cavity grow into cartilage mass
Osteogenic cells differentiate into osteoblasts, congregate on spicules of calcified cartilage matrix to form bony
trabeculae
Mesenchymal cells differentiate directly into
osteoblasts
mesenchymal cells begin synthesizing osteoid at multiple sites, (multiple centers of ossification) within
membrane—no cartilage precursor
Mineralization follows with subsequent fusion of adjacent
centers of ossification
Osteoblasts trapped within lacunae of osteoid, become
osteocytes
Osteoprogenitor cells at periphery continue to divide, provide
replacements
Bone produced is woven bone—later remodeled by osteoclasts & osteoblasts to form
compact bone
Simple or closed fracture
no break in skin
