TOPIC 4 - OSSEOUS TISSUE/BONE Flashcards
Major and structural and supportive connective tissue of the body that forms the rigid part of the bone organs that make up the skeletal system.
Osseous tissue
Give the 7 characteristics of bone.
- Most dynamic structure in the body and is greatly affected by nutritional and metabolic changes
- Reservoir for calcium and phosphorus that undergo a constant flux in and out (absorption and release) of the bone matrix
- Respond to injury by rapid healing
- Undergoes internal modeling (modified, reshaped and overhauled) throughout life without changing its gross appearance
- Bone cells are in contact with each other thru cellular processes embedded in tiny channels in the hard bone matrix called canaliculi
- Highly vascular
- Grows thru appositional method only
Bone forms when ___ salts are deposited around protein fibers which provides ___ to bones.
calcium, rigidity
Fibers in bone provides ?
Elasticity and strength
Give the 5 functions of osseous tissue.
- Support for muscles, organs and soft tissues
- Leverage and movement
- Protection of vital organs
- Storage of calcium phosphate
- Hematopoiesis - formation of blood cells in the bone marrow within the spongy bone
This forms a system of channels thru which processes from one osteocyte can contact adjacent cells allowing osteocytes to communicate with one another for passage of information, nutrients and wastes from cells near blood vessels to those trapped in lacunae.
Canaliculi
Bones are formed by what cell?
Osteoblasts
Osteoblasts deposit Type __ collagen and also release ___, ___ and ___ within that ultimately combine chemically within the collagenous matrix into a crystalline mineral known as ___.
I, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, hydroxyapatite
Type of osseous tissue that forms an extremely hard exterior
Compact/Cortical Bone
Type of osseous tissue that fills the hollow interior.
Spongy bone
Other terms for spongy bone
Trabecular/Cancellous bone
Functional unit of compact bone
Haversian System
Other term for haversian system
Osteon
Concentric layers of haversian system is called?
Lamellae
Lamella surrounds a canal called ?
Central canal/Haversian Canal
Haversian canal contains bone’s ___ and ___ ___
nerve, blood supplies
Boundary of an osteon is called ?
Cement line
Remnants of osteons that have been destroyed.
Interstitial Lamellae
Lamellae that are arranged parallel to the surface
Circumferential Lamellae
An oblique channel connecting osteon to the periosteum.
Volkmann’s or Perforating Canals
These fibers rub parallel to each other in lamellae and oblique in others.
Collagen fibers
This type of bone develops directly from pre-existing mesenchymal connective tissue.
Intramembranous bone/membrane bone
This type of bone develops indirectly from a pre-existing cartilage that is gradually destroyed and replaced by cancellous bone.
Endochondral bone
Give a classification of bone that is intramembranous bone.
Flat bones
Give a classification of bone that is endochondral bone.
Tubular bones ( femur, radius)
Give the five shapes of bone.
- Long bones
- Short bones
- Flat bones
- Irregular bones
It refers to the long shaft of bone.
Diaphysis
It refers to the ends of bone.
Epiphysis
It is the growth plate.
Epiphyseal plate
It refers to the part between epiphysis and diaphysis.
Metaphysis
It covers epiphysis.
Articular cartilage
It is the external covering of the bone.
Periosteum
Bundles of collagen fibers that attaches periosteum to the underlying bone.
Sharpey’s fibers
