Unit 3 Part 1 Flashcards
made up of several different tissues working together: bone, cartilage, dense connective tissue, epithelium, various blood forming tissues, adipose tissue, and nervous
tissue.
Bone
Skeletal System Functions
▪ Makes up body framework - gives body shape
▪ Supports the body
▪ Protects vital internal organs
▪ Assistance in movement
▪ Mineral homeostasis (storage and release)
▪ Blood Cell production
▪ Triglyceride storage
Classification of Bones is according to:
shape
location
structure
development
Classification of Bones According to Shape
long
short
flat
irregular
sesamoids
sutural
– longer than wide
– Have a shaft with heads at both ends
– Contain mostly compact bone
Long Bones
Examples of long bone
Femur, humerus, tibia,
fibula, radius, ulna, phalanges (all
bones of the limbs except the knee
cap or patella)
- Shaft
- Composed of compact bone
Diaphysis
- Ends of the bone
- Composed mostly of spongy bone
Epiphysis
- Outside covering of the diaphysis
- Fibrous connective tissue membrane
Periosteum
- Secure periosteum to
underlying bone
Sharpey’s fibers
- Supply bone cells with
nutrients
Arteries
– Covers the external surface of the epiphyses
– Made of hyaline cartilage
– Decreases friction at joint surfaces
Articular cartilage
– Cavity of the shaft
– Contains yellow marrow (mostly fat) in adults
– Contains red marrow (for blood cell formation) in infants
Medullary cavity
formation of blood cells
hematopoiesis
formation of blood cells takes place mainly in
red marrow
In infants, red marrow is found in the
bone cavities
Red marrow functions
formation of red blood cells, white blood cells
and blood platelets
– cube-shape
– Contain mostly spongy bone with thin coat of
compact bone
Short Bones
example of short bones
carpals (wrist), tarsal (ankle) bones
– Irregular in shape, weird shapes
– Do not fit into other bone classification
categories
Irregular Bones
examples of irregular bones
Vertebrae, hip bones, 2 skull bones (sphenoid
and the ethmoid bones)
Develop in certain tendons where there is considerable
friction, tension and physical stress
Sesamoid bones
-Located in sutures between certain cranial bones
Sutural bones
Structure of Short, Irregular, and Flat Bones
-Thin plates of periosteum-covered compact bone on
the outside and endosteum-covered spongy bone
within.
- Have no diaphysis or epiphysis
-Contain bone marrow without marrow cavity
internal spongy bone layer
diploë
whole arrangement of flat bone resembles a
stiffened sandwich
form the long axis of the body
Axial
number of bones in axial
80
Involved in locomotion and manipulation of the environment
appendicular
number of bones in upper extremities
64
number of bones in lower extremities
62
connective tissue as seen by widely spaced cells separated by matrix
osseus tissue/bone
4 types of cells in bone tissue
Osteogenic/Osteoprogenitor Cells
Osteoblasts
Osteocytes
Osteoclasts
- undergo cell division
- undifferentiated/unspecialized bone cells derived from mesenchyme
- become osteoblasts
- found in the inner lining of the endosteum and periosteum
Osteogenic/Osteoprogenitor Cells
- Bone-building cells
- Cannot divide
- Form matrix and collagen fibers
- Synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and proteoglycans, glycoproteins
- Collagen forms osteoids
- Influence deposit of Ca++, PO4 (initiate calcification)
- Estrogen, PTH stimulate activity
- Found in both the periosteum and endosteum
Osteoblasts
strands of spiral fibers that form matrix
osteoids
- Mature bone cells that sit in lacunae and the
principal cells of bone tissue - Osteoblasts that have become trapped by the secretion of matrix
- No longer secrete matrix
- Responsible for maintaining the bone tissue; long lived cells
- Stimulated by calcitonin; inhibited by PTH
- Osteocyte is “trapped” within the pink matrix
Osteocytes
- derived from the fusion of monocytes – engulf bony material
- Cells that digest bone matrix
- Secrete enzymes (digestive enzymes) that digest matrix
- Active osteoblasts stimulate its activity
- Concentrated in the endosteum
pumps out hydrogen ions to create an acid environment that eats away at the matrix.
Osteoclasts
- 25% Water
- 25% Protein or organic matrix
- 90% Collagen Fibers
- 10% Chondroitin Sulfate, small proteogylcans, glycoproteins (osteonectins)
- 50% Crystalized Mineral Salts
- Hydroxyapatite (Calcium Phosphate)
- Other substances: Bicarbonate, magnesium,
potassium, sodium, Lead, Gold, Strontium,
Plutonium, etc.
Extracellular Matrix
provide bone’s hardness and the ability to resist compression
Inorganic mineral salts
provide bone’s flexibility
Organic collagen fibers
Bone Tissue - Matrix
– compact bone has very few such spaces
– spongy bone has many such spaces
-solid mass; dense & hard
-forms the outer layer of bone structure
-functional unit — Haversian system
Compact bone
contain spaces filled with bone marrow
= incomplete Haversian system
Cancellous or Spongy
good at providing protection and support
Compact bone
lightweight and provides tissue support
Spongy bone
Compact bone is arranged in units called
osteons or Haversian systems
contain blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves
Osteons (Haversian canal)
what surrounds haversian canal
concentric rings of osteocytes
calcified matrix
concentric ring of matrix lacuna-openings
between lamellae for osteocytes;
represent older osteons
Lamella
mature bone cell; found in lacunae
Osteocytes
in center of lamella; houses vessels; vertically oriented
Haversian canal
radiating channels between lacuna
and Haversian canal for nutrients and wastes
Canaliculi
