What are the 2 types of bone?
Compact (Cortical) Bone
Spongy (Trabecular/Cancellous) Bones
What are the 3 areas of bone spanning the femur?
Diaphysis
Metaphysis
Epiphysis
What organisation is observed in Compact Bone?
Osteons and Haversian Systems
What are the 3 types of Cartilage?
Hyaline Cartilage
Fibrous Cartilage
Elastic Cartilage
What are the 2 main components of bone?
Cells and Extracellular Matrix
What are the 3 cell types present in bone?
Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
Osteocytes
What are the 3 components of Extracellular Matrix in Bone?
Hydroxyapatite Crystals
Collagen
H₂O
What is the structure of Spongy Bone?
It is less dense than compact bone and has trabeculae going in many different direction
What are two main components of Cartilage?
Cells and Extracellular Matrix
What are the 3 types of Cartilage?
Hyaline cartilage
Elastic Cartilage
Fibrocartilage
What are the 2 types of cells found in Cartilage?
Chondroblasts
Chondrocytes
What is another name for bone formation?
Ossification
What are 2 types of Ossification?
Endochondral and Intramembranous
What is Endochondral Ossification?
Cartilage model forms which is invaded by blood vessels which leads to ossification (cartilage is replaced with bone)
What is Intramembranous Ossification?
Mesenchymal Cells develop into Osteoprogenitor Cells which mature into Osteoblasts that deposit bone.
Left over Mesenchymal cells develop into blood vessels and bone marrow.
