TermDefinition
support-framework Protection Movement Mineral reservoir-calcium Hematopoiesis-blood cell formation by red bone marrow Energy storage-lipids stored in yellow bone marrow 6 major functions of bones
bone/osseous tissue contains abundant extracellular matrix
15% What percentage of bones are water?
55% what percentage of bones are crystallized mineral salts?
30% what percentage of bones are fibers and gel?
hydroxyapatite, calcium phosphate, calcium hydroxide included in crystallized mineral salts
collagen, glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans included in fibers and gels
Osteoprogenitor cell, osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts 4 bone cell types
Osteoprogenitor cell unspecialized cell, develops into osteoblasts, only bone cell type that undergoes cell division
Periosteum, endosteum, perforating canals, and central canals where osteoprogenitor cells are found
osteoblasts bone-building cells; secretes osteoid/new bone matrix; include collagen and other organic components
osteocyte mature bone cell; maintains bone metabolism; forms when matrix surrounds osteoblasts
osteoclasts bone-resorbing cell; large, multinucleated, formed from monocyte-lineage cells; uses enzymes and acid to digest bone matrix
Diaphysis Shaft/body of long bone; hollow space surrounded by compact bone
epiphyses proximal and distal ends of long bone
metaphysis region where ephiphysis and diaphysis meet; ephphyseal plate located here in growing bone
articular cartilage thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering joint surfaces; avascular
periosteum dense white fibrous membrane covering the bone except at joint surfaces
provides attachment for tendons and ligaments; contains blood vessels and osteoblasts functions of periosteum
medullary cavity cavity in diaphysis that contains yellow/fatty marrow and blood vessels in adults; helps reduce bone weight
endosteum thin membrane lining medullary cavity; contains bone-forming cells
Compact bone vs spongy bone ORGANIZATION osteons (Haversian systems) vs. trabeculae (no osteons)
compact bone vs spongy bone SPACES few spaces, dense vs web-like marrow-filled spaces
compact bone vs spongy bone LOCATION primarily outside of bone vs interior of bone, found in epiphyses and medullary cavity of diaphysis
compact bone vs spongy bone MARROW RELATIONSHIP provides outer support/protection vs trabeculae support and protect red bone marrow
compact bone vs spongy bone STRESS dense and strongest form of bone tissue vs trabeculae are arranged along lines of stress
osteon (Haversian systems) repeating structural unit of compact bone
concentric lamellae concentric layers of mineralized extracellular matrix around the central canal
lacunae spaces containing osteocytes
canaliculi tiny channels connecting lacunae and central canal; filled with fluid
central canal contains blood and lymphatic vessels
perforating canals (Volkmann’s) connect periosteum and endosteum; passageways for nerves and blood vessels
Periosteal arteries and veins supply the periosteum and outer compact bone
nutrient artery/vein enters the diaphysis through the nutrient foramen
metaphyseal arteries and veins enter metaphysis and supply tissue and red bone marrow in this region
ephphyseal arteries and veins enter the epiphyses and supply red bone marrow and tissue
periosteal sensory nerves carry pain sensations; clinically relevant in fracture and needle biopsy
ossification bone formation
Intramembranous ossification bone forms directly with mesenchyme
endochondral ossification bone forms within a hyaline cartilage model that develops from mesenchyme
intramembranous ossification EXAMPLE flat bones of skull/facial bones, mandible, and part of clavicles
endochondral ossification EXAMPLE long-bone development
cartilage model, primary ossification center, medullary cavity develops in diaphysis, secondary ossification centers in epiphyses, articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate remain sequence of ossification
Interstitial growth of cartilage occurs on epiphyseal side of growth plate; cartilage is replaced by bone on diaphysis side by endochondral ossification growth in length
new tissue is deposited on outer surface; osteoblasts add bone externally while osteoclasts enlarge medullary cavity growth in thickness (appositional growth)
Zone of resting cartilage small, scattered chondrocytes; anchors epiphyseal plate to epiphysis
zone of proliferation chondrocytes divide rapidly; cells are stacked like coins and secrete extracellular matrix
Zone of hypertrophy chondrocytes enlarge and mature; arranged in columns
zone of calcification cartilage matrix hardens; chondrocytes die
zone of ossification osteoblasts replace cartilage with bone
resting, proliferation, hypertrophy, calcification, ossification order of zones
Bone remodeling ongoing replacement of old bone tissue by new bone tissue
growth years bone formation exceeds resorption
young adulthood formation and resorption are more balanced
later adulthood increased resorption at endosteal surface relative to periosteal formation, producing net bone loss
needed for remodeling calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, boron, manganese, vitamins D, C, A, K, B12 Hormones: IGFs, hGH, thyroid hormones, sex hormones
Bone calcium store bone stores 99% of body’s calcium
parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases rate and number of osteoclasts
calcitonin inhibits osteoclasts
blood calcium level 9-11mg/100mL
Closed reduction setting a fracture w/o surgery
open reduction setting a fracture w/ surgery
Reactive phase fracture hematoma forms; nearby bone cells die, swelling and inflammation occur, phagocytes and osteoclasts remove dead/damaged tissue
reparative phase fibrocartilaginous callus forms, followed by bony callus; capillaries infiltrate and granulation tissue organizes; osteoblasts produce spongy bone trabeculae
remodeling phase callus is remodeled; dead bone is resorted by osteoclasts; compact bone replaces spongy bone
