Test 2 Flashcards
Function of Bone
- Protection of vital organs
- Support for the body
- The mechanical basis for movement
- Storage of salts (calcium)
- Continuous supply supply of new blood cells
- Produce Growth factor storage such as Bone morphogenetic Protein (BMP)
what is BMP
BMP are a growth factors that induce bone and cartilage formation utilized utilized in long bone fractures and spinal fusion.
what is FBG
Produce fibroblasts Growth Factors
involoved in angiogenesis (angio-G-vessel) wound healing, embryonic development (neural, limb development)
What are the two types of bones
- Compact
2. Spongy or Cancellous
Long Bones
they have a superficial thin layer of compact bone around a central medullary (marrow cavity). Within this cavity that contains marrow of adult bones, that produce all types of blood cells
Osteoblast
produce cell
Compact Bone provides:
strength for weight bearing
Long Bones are designed for:
rigidity and attachment of muscles, ligaments.
Cancellous bone is located:
near the ends of the bones in order to adapt to different angles of stress placed on the bone
feel of the cancellous bone
it is spongy and lattice like with porosity greater than 70%
Structure of the cancellous (spongy) bone
although quit rigid, it is weaker and less stiff than compact bone
Trabeculae
fine bone spicules located in cancellous bone
- the trabecular adapt to the direction of the imposed stress on the bone, providing strength while maintaining low weight in the structure
- the high porosity gives spongy bone high energy storage capacity so that it becomes a crucial element in the energy absorption and stress distribution when loads are applied to the skeletal structure
Between the Trabeculae is
marrow that produce most of the blood cells (erthryocytes)
the matrix is also laminar formation, like compact bone, however, the concentric rings are irregular and osteoblasts are more spread out, thus the lattice appearance
Bone mass of Compact Bone
80% of the bone mass is dense and offers strength and stiffness to the skeleton
Periosteum
- a thin white membrane that covers the outside of the bone
- specialized connective tissue that covers all of the bones
