Unit 7 - Histology of Bone Flashcards
Haversian canal
Central canal
Volkmann’s canal
Perforating canal
Lacunae
Osteocytes are inside
Periosteum (superficial)
Dense, irregular collagenous connection tissue; rich in blood vessels
Bone shapes
Long, short, flat, irregular
Long bone shape
Femur
Short bone
Carpals
Flat bone
Clavicle, ribs
Irregular
Vertebrae
Bone structures
Diaphysis, epiphysis, articular surface
Diaphysis
Shaft of long bone
Epiphysis
Ends of long bone
Articular surface
Cartilage
Red bone marrow
All bloods cells originate here
Yellow bone marrow
Adipose tissue/fat
Cortical/compact bone (second layer)
Hard, dense, deep to periosteum
Spongy/Cancellous Bone (final layer)
Consists of lattice-work type structure
Perforating/Sharpey’s Fibers
Anchor periosteum to cortical bone
Chemical composition of bone
Calcium hydroxyapatite,
Collagen
Osteocytes
Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
Osteoblasts
Build bone, take calcium, collagen & repair bone
Osteoclasts
Bone breaks, oc gets rid of calcium, collagen & degrade/destroy & put in blood stream
Collagen
Organic component of bone
Calcium
Inorganic component of bone
Lamellae
Concentric rings of bone matrix
