Unit 2 Bone Flashcards
structure of bone
connective tissue
mineralized matrix-cells in lacuna
vascularized
functions of bone
support
protection (organs, myeloid tissue)
movement
mineral storage (Ca, PO4)
bone classification
long
short
flat
irregular
long bone
longer than wide
limb bones
short bone
cube-shaped (wrist/ankle)
sesamoid (w/in tendons)
vary in size and number
flat bones
thin, flat, slightly curved
sternum, scapulae, ribs, most skull bones
irregular bones
complicated shapes
vertebrae, hib bones
sutural bones
aka wormian, accessory
random, usually on skull
histological organization
spongy
compact
spongy
cancellous
trabecular
compact
lamellar
cortical
dense
histological preparation
decalcified - preserves cells
ground - preserves architecture
typical long bone structure
shaft, epiphyses, membranes
diaphysis
tubular shaft that forms long axis
consists of compact bone surrounding central medullary cavity that is filled with yellow marrow in adults
epiphyses
ends of long bones that consist of o impact bone externally and spongy bone internally
articular cartilage covers articular surfaces
epiphyseal line
remnant of childhood epiphyseal plate where bone growth occurs
compact bone
dense outer layer on every bone that appears smooth and solid
aka lamellar bone
consists of osteon, canals, canaliculi, interstitial & circumferential lamellae
spongy bone
made-up of honeycomb of small, needle-like or flat pieces of bone call trabecular
open spaces filled with red/yellow marrow
stress resistant
no osteons, but have lamellae, osteocytes, canaliculi
membranes
periosteum
endosteum
periosteum
covers outside of compact
white double-layered membrane that covers external surfaces except joints
contains many nerve fibers, vessels through nutrient foramen
anchoring points for tendons/ligaments
endosteum
covers inside portion of compact
delicate CT covers trabecular of spongy bone
contains osteogenic cells that can differentiate into other bone cells
short, irregular, flat bone structure
thing plates of spongy bone (dipoë) covered by compact bone
compact bone sandwiched between CT membranes
bone marrow scattered throughout
hyaline cartilage covers articular surfaces
periosteum layers
fibrous
osteogenic
fibrous periosteum layer
outer layer consisting of dense irregular CT consisting of Sharpey’s fibers
osteogenic layer
inner layer, contains primitive osteogenic stem cells that give rise to most all bone cells
red marrow
found within trabecular cavities of spongy bone and diploë of flat bones
in newborns, medullary cavities and alls spongy bone
in adults, head of femur, humerus, flab bone diploë, some irregular bones
yellow can convert to red in anemic
