what are the 2 components of bone ?
- organic component
- inorganic component
what % of bone is made of organic component ?
35%
what % of bone is made of inorganic component ?
65%
what are the characteristics of the organic component of bone ?
- matrix: 1 type of collagen
- cells: osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts
what are the characteristic of the inorganic component of bone ?
- mineral content: hydroxyapatite (rigid)
what is the general structure of a bone ?
- long bones consist of a DIAPHYSIS and two EPIPHYSES
define metaphysis
where the EPIPHYSEAL LINE lives
what are the 2 types of bone ?
- compact
- cancellous
what % of bone mass is compact ?
80%
what % of bone mass is cancellous ?
20%
what are the characteristic of compact bone ?
- external surface
- walls of diaphysis
- principally mechanical function
what are the characteristics of cancellous bone ?
- lattice of fine plates
- epiphyses of long bone
- spaces filled with bone marrow
what is longitudinal growth ?
- occurs at epiphyseal plates
- stops at 18-20
what is circumferential growth ?
- diameter increases throughout lifespan
- most rapid in childhood
