| Bones and muscles provide | movement |
| Hematopoiesis | : Blood cell formation |
| Blood cell production occurs in | red bone marrow |
| Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are | produced in red bone marrow |
| With age, some red bone marrow is replaced by | yellow bone marrow, which stores fat, but does not produce blood cells |
| Red marrow remains in adult | in skull, ribs, sternum, clavicles, vertebrae, hip bones |
| Bone marrow transplants are used to treat | a variety of conditions |
| About 70% of bone matrix consists of inorganic mineral salts Most abundant salt is crystals of | hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate) |
| Osteoporosis | a condition that results from loss of bone mineralization |
| Since calcium is vital in nerve impulse conduction and muscle contraction, blood calcium level is regulated by | Parathyroid hormone and Calcitonin |
| Bony structures | continue to grow and develop into adulthood |
| Bones form when bone tissue replaces existing connective tissue in one of two ways | Intramembranous bones Endochondral bones |
| Intramembranous Ossification | Flat skull bones, clavicles, sternum and some facial bones Bones form between sheets of primitive connective tissue |
| Endochondral Ossification | Long bones and most of skeleton Bones form from hyaline cartilage models |
| Osteogenesis imperfecta | Hereditary collagen defect, in which forming bones are brittle, and fetus may have many bone fractures |
| Intramembranous Bones | Originate within sheet-like layers of connective tissue. Broad, flat bones, such as flat bones of the skull, clavicles, sternum, and some facial bones (mandible, maxilla, zygomatic) |
| Mesenchymal cells in primitive tissue differentiate | into osteoblasts |
| Osteoblasts | bone-forming cells that deposit bone matrix around themselves |
| When osteoblasts are completely surrounded by matrix | , they are now osteocytes in lacunae |
| Mesenchyme on outside forms | periosteum |
| Endochondral Bones | Begin as masses of hyaline cartilage Most bones of the skeleton, such as femur, humerus, radius, tibia, phalanges, vertebrae. |
| Chondrocytes (cartilage cells) enlarge | lacunae grow |
| Matrix breaks down | , chondrocytes die |
| Osteoblasts invade area | deposit bone matrix |
| Osteoblasts form | spongy and then compact bone |
| Once encased by matrix | osteoblasts are now osteocytes |
| Primary ossification center | Area in center of diaphysis, where bone tissue first replaces cartilage |
| Secondary ossification centers | Area of the epiphyses, where spongy bone forms later in development |
| Epiphyseal plate | Band of cartilage that persists between the ossification centers |
| In a growing long bone, diaphysis is separated from epiphysis by | Epiphyseal Plate. Region at which bone grows in length. |
| Zone of resting cartilage | Layer closest to end of epiphysis Resting cells; anchor epiphyseal plate to epiphysis |
| Zone of proliferating cartilage | Rows of young cells, undergoing mitosis |
| Zone of hypertrophic cartilage | Rows of older cells left behind when new cells appear; thicken epiphyseal plate, lengthening the bone Matrix calcifies, cartilage cells (chondrocytes) die |
| Zone of calcified cartilage | Thin layer of dead cartilage cells and calcified matrix |
| Osteoclasts | break down calcified matrix |
| Bone can thicken by | depositing compact bone on outside, under periosteum |
| Bone remodeling | occurs throughout life Opposing processes of deposition and resorption occur on surfaces of endosteum and periosteum |
| Bone Resorption | Removal of bone by osteoclasts |
| Bone Deposition | : Formation of bone by osteoblasts 10% to 20% of skeleton is replaced each year |
| Nutrition, sunlight exposure, hormone levels, and physical exercise all affect bone | development, growth, and repair |
| Vitamin D | : calcium absorption; deficiency causes rickets, osteomalacia |
| Vitamin A | osteoblast and osteoclast activity; deficiency retards bone development |
