Thin layer of connective tissue lining the medullary cavity
38

1. Dense fibrous connective tissue lining the outside the diaphysis
2. Inner layer is the osteogenic layer line with osteoblasts and allows for bone remodeling and growth
3. High innervated this causes pain when damaged
39
Ossification has 3 stages
1. Growth of the bone occurs during infancy, childhood, and adolescence
2. Remodeling of the old bone occurs to form new bone tissue during life
3. Repair of breaks or fractures in bones occurs throughout life
40
When does bone development begin
Initiation of bone development begins during fetal development during 6th or 7th week of gestation
41
Intramembranous Ossification
Bone formation that only occurs in the flat bones of the skull without use of cartilage, but rather mesenchymal stem cells
42
Endochondrial Ossification
Refers to the process of cartilage becoming ossified in order to develop into long bones
43
4 steps of intramembranous ossification
1. Development of ossification center
2. Calcification of the extracellular matrix
3. Formation of the trabeculae for blood vessels
4. Development of the periosteum
44

5. Formation of articular cartilage, epiphyseal plate, and spongy bone
6. Closing of the epiphyseal plate and formation of the epiphyseal line
45
How do we grow from adolescent to adult?
Growth that gives adults their height happens at the growth plates of long bones and resembles endochondral bone growth
46
Hyaline cartilage of the growth plate is divided into several zones
1. Zone of reserve cartilage-furthest from the diaphysis. Contains resting chondrocytes that don’t show any signs of transformation
2. Zone of proliferating cartilage-as we move closer to diaphysis the chondrocytes will begin to multiply and arrange into longitudinal columns of flattened lacunae
3. Zone of hypertrophy-moving closer to diaphysis chondrocytes cease to multiply. Cell begin to enlarge. Walls of matrix between lacunae and matrix becomes very thin
4. Zone of calcifying cartilage-next layer closest to diaphysis is zone of calcifying cartilage. Minerals are being deposited into matrix. Mineral depositions into bone are occurring between columns of lacunae
5. Zone of bone deposition-closest to diaphysis chondrocytes die. Matrix between columns converts and blood immediately invades the area.osteoclasts remove temp bone that was deposited. Osteoblasts begin to create the lamellae depositing zone. This deposition begins to add bone to diaphysis extending it in the longitudinal growth. Called interstitial or lengthwise bone growth
47
Appositional growth (remodeling)
In order to prevent fractures the bone will increase in width or thicken to increase the bones ability to resist stress.
48
Appositional growth has 4 steps
1. Periosteum cells differentiate into osteoblasts cells. Osteoblast cells begin to secrete collagen fibers and begin to lay down bone extracellular matrix. Allows the osteocytes to begin to be surrounded by bone matrix create lacunae and maturing the osteoblasts into osteocytes.
2. Folds eventually fuse together with a tunnel center for periosteum artery. Former periosteum that is now lining the inner canal is now endosteum
3. Osteoblasts continue to deposit bone matrix now forming new concentric lamellae. Combo of new central canal, new lacunae, new concentric lamellae join to form a new osteon
4. As osteon forms, we osteoblasts continue to deposit bone creating more concentric lamellae and continuing to increase the thickness of the bone
49
Bone reabsorption
Activating osteoclasts which will release a protein-digesting lysosomal enzyme and several acids these chemicals will breakdown bone matrix releasing calcium and other minerals into bloodstream. This will reduce thickness of the bone
50
Bone growth and remodeling rely on several factors
1. Vitamins
2. Minerals
3. Hormones
Insulin
Sex hormones
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Calcitriol
Calcitonin
51
How much calcium does the skeletal system need to maintain homeostasis?
99% of calcium found in body
52
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Secreted by parathyroid glands. Function in activating osteoclasts. This instructs kidneys to retain calcium rather than excrete it.
Kidney will secrete calcitriol in response to low blood calcium levels which cause more absorption of calcium from digestive system
If blood calcium levels get too high thyroid gland will produce calcitonin to decrease osteoclasts activity and accelerate calcium deposits restoring homeostasis
53
Leptin
Another hormone that affects bone density. Inhibits osteoblasts activity. And serotonin which also inhibits osteoblast activity
54
Bone fracture are named according to
1. Severity of fracture
2. Shape or position of fracture line
3. Physician who first described given fracture
55
Steps to repairing bones
1. Hematoma formation-hematoma converted to granulation tissue by invasion of cells and blood capillaries
2. Silt callus formation-deposition of collagen and fibrocartilage converts granulation tissue to a soft callus
3. Hard callus formation-osteoblasts deposit a temp bony collar around the fracture to unite the broken pieces while ossification occurs
4. Bone remodeling-small bone fragments are removed by osteoclasts, while osteoblasts deposit spongy bone and then convert to compact bone
