Question
Answer
3 types of cartilage in skeletal tissue   1.Hyaline 2.Elastic 3.Fibrocartilage  
🗑
Hyaline cartilage and skeletal tissue   Found at the end of long joints (ex. ribcage, nose, and trachea); extremely abundant; flexible but firm and sturdy; decreases friction  
🗑
Elastic cartilage and skeletal tissue   More flexible than hyaline due to more elastic fibers and less collagen; able to withstand stretching; found in epiglottis  
🗑
Fibrocartilage and skeletal tissue   Found in vertebral pads and pubic symphasis; compressible due to high tensile strength; a good example is also the meniscus (pad in the knee) lays on top of the tibia and withstands compression from femur  
🗑
Cartilage growth   1.Appositional growth 2.Interstitial growth  
🗑
Appositional growth   "outside"; most common/abundant growth; Cartilage forming cells (chondroblasts) secrete new matrix on external surface  
🗑
Interstitial growth   "within"; lacunae chondrocytes proliferate/secrete matrix inside cartilage; Very slow type of growth  
🗑
5 Vital functions of bone   1.Support- supports organs (structural) 2.Protection- skull, spinal chord, ribcage 3.Movement- levers (muscle attachments) 4.Mineral storage- release and store calcium and phosphate 5.Blood cell formation- hematopoiesis within marrow cavities  
🗑
2 Regions of skeletal bones   1.Axial 2.Appendicular  
🗑
Axial skeleton   long axis; skull, vertebral column  
🗑
Appendicular skeleton   upper and lower limbs; girdles; pelvic girdle, leg bones, carpals, ect.  
🗑
4 Bone shapes   1.Long bones 2.Short bones 3.Flat bones 4.Irregular bones  
🗑
Long bones   longer than they are wide; ex. femur  
🗑
Short bones   cube-shaped; ex. bones in wrist and ankle; alson bones within tendons like the patella  
🗑
Flat bones   Thin and flattened; usually a bit curved; ex. sternum, skull bones, rib bones  
🗑
Irregular bones   Bones with complicated and abnormal shapes; ex. hip bones, vertebra  
🗑
Bones adapt to form...   landmarks consistent with their use (bulges, depressions, and holes)  
🗑
Landmarks of bone   (bulges, depressions, and holes) Serve as sites of attachment for muscles, ligaments and tendons; form joint surfaces (ball and socket); conduits for blood vessels and nerves (holes)  
🗑
2 Types of bone   1.Compact bone 2.Spongy bone  
🗑
Compact bone   usually on outer surface of bones; smooth and solid; formed by collagen that has been mineralized  
🗑
Spongy bone (anatomy)   pours bone found inside bones or in between compact bone; looks like a sponge; never found by itself but will always be incased by compact bone; is made up of "struts" of bone  
🗑
Spongy bone (functions/physiology)   Not soft; struts distribute (or spread out) stress over a surface of compact bone which helps keep the stress off one small area; bone marrow is found within the spongy bone  
🗑
Anatomy of long bones   Head- proximal epiphysis which contains spongy and compact bone, there is also an epiphysis at the opposite end of the bone Shaft- diaphysis which contains only compact bone (2-epiphyses 1-diaphysis)  
🗑
Diaphysis   Hollow/tubular shaft that forms the axis of long bones; composed of compact bone that surrounds medullary cavity; yellow bone marrow (fat) is contained in the medullary cavity  
🗑
Medullary Cavity   Hollow tube in the center of the long bones that houses yellow marrow  
🗑
Epiphyses   Expanded ends of long bones; exterior is compact bone and interior is spongy bone; Joint surface is covered with articular (hyaline) cartilage  
🗑
epiphyseal line   Old (closed) growth plate; Growth plates seal as we age; defines (or divides) epiphyses from diaphysis  
🗑
Articular (hyaline) cartilage in joints   left over from embryo  
🗑
2 Layers of connective tissue in long bones   1.Endosteum 2.Periosteum  
🗑
Endosteum   Inside the bone shaft; lines the medullary cavity and surrounds bone marrow; next to bone cells  
🗑
Periosteum   Around the bone; contains perforating (Sharpey's) fibers that connect the tissue to the bone; double-layered protective membrane (outer and inner layer); contains rich supply of nerves and blood vessels  
🗑
Outer layer of periosteum   Dense irregular tissue  
🗑
Inner layer of periosteum   Osteoclasts and osteoblasts  
🗑
4 Types of bone cells   1.Osteogenic cell- stem cell 2.Osteoblast- bone growth, building 3.Osteocyte- maintains bone, repairs 4.Osteoclast- bone-resorbing cells that use enzymes and acid to break down bone cells; breaks down bone  
🗑
Osteons (definition)   The ring looking structures in bone; basic structure of compact bone  
🗑
Osteons are made of...   Concentric layers of mineralized collagen; mineralizing helps make structure harder;  
🗑
Concentric layers are made of...   Collagen fibers that spiral upwards and make each lamellae (ring); the spiraled collagen fibers make a stronger structure  
🗑
Central (Haversian) Canal   In the middle of the osteon; and contains blood vessels (nutrients) and nerve fibers  
🗑
Volkman's canals   Run across bone perpendicular to the central canals and carry blood vessels for nutrients to many different osteons  
🗑
Lacunae   Houses osteocytes and are located between the lamellae (rings) of the osteon  
🗑
Short, irregular, and flat bones have...   Spongy and compact bone  
🗑
Connective tissues in short, irregular, and flat bones   Thin plates of periosteum cover compact bone on the outside; endosteum covers spongy bone on the inside  
🗑
Hematopoietic tissue   "Red marrow"; this is where red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are made  
🗑
Red marrow (hematopoietic tissue) in infants   When born all bone marrow is red; found in medullary cavity of diaphysis and all areas of spongy bone; Most turns yellow at puberty; most of the red blood cells that will remain throughout your life are made in the red marrow when your an infant  
🗑
Red marrow (hematopoietic tissue) in adults   trabeculae (a network of fine spicules) of flat bones; head of femur and humerus ONLY (not in any other long bones or in the bottom epiphyses of the femur or humerus); only about half of the marrow in adults is red marrow  
🗑
Inorganic chemical composition of bone   Hydroxyapatites or mineral salts- 65% of bone by mass; many calcium phosphates; responsible for bone hardness and its resistance to compression  
🗑
Ossification (osteogenisis)   "Making of bone"; embryo- formation of bony skeleton; until adulthood- bone growth; adult- bone remodeling  
🗑
Embryo bone development (2 types)   1.Membrane bone 2.Endochondral bone  
🗑
Membrane bone (embryo bone development)   intramembranous ossification; making of bone between membranes; forms flat bones; replacement of connective tissue membrane sheets with bone  
🗑
Definition of endochondral bone (embryo bone development)   Endochondral ossification; REPLACES cartilage with bone does not TURN cartilage into bone; This process forms long bones  
🗑
Step 1 of Endochondral bone (embryo bone development)   A hyaline cartilage model is formed and will continue to grow and look more like a bone while actual bone is being formed; The model has a "bony collar" on either side of the model  
🗑
Step 2 of Endochondral bone (embryo bone development)   The chondroblasts become chondrocytes and a pH change initiates calcification of the cartilage; cartilage model continues to grow  
🗑
Step 3 of Endochondral bone (embryo bone development)   Nutrient artery penetrates middle diaphysis or through the bony collar and osteoblasts form and deposit spongy bone; as more bone is being made the bone gets closer and closer to each diaphysis  
🗑
Step 4 of Endochondral bone (embryo bone development)   While osteoclasts break down spongy bone to form the marrow cavity the osteoblasts replace spongy bone with compact bone in the diaphysis; meanwhile the epiphyses are penetrated with a nutrient artery and being for form spongy bone (starts in center)  
🗑
Step 5 of Endochondral bone (embryo bone development)   Left over hyaline cartilage between the diaphysis and epiphyses is turned into the epiphyseal plate or growth plate and continues bone growth; cartilage left outside epiphyses is turned into articular cartilage in joints  
🗑
Epiphyseal plate functions   growth occurs along this line adjacent to the bone shaft; the growth occurs in the diaphysis not the epiphyses  
🗑
Epiphyseal zones   1.Growth zone 2.Hypertonic zone 3.Calcification zone 4.Ossification zone  
🗑
Growth zone   near epiphyses; in this zone cartilage cells undergo mitosis and duplicate; above hypertonic zone  
🗑
Hypertonic zone   Zone where cartilage cells enlarge and prepare to die; above calcification zone  
🗑
Calcification zone   Zone where cartilage cells die and calcify; above ossification zone  
🗑
Ossification zone   Zone where new bone is made from calcified cartilage cells; end of diaphysis  
🗑
How epiphyseal plates close   The cycle of bone growth at these plates is continuous; eventually (at puberty) the cartilage cells slow down replication while the osteoblasts continue at the same rate until cartilage is replaced by bone and only a thin epiphyseal line remains.  
🗑
Hormonal control and growth   Growth hormone- stimulates growth; thyroid hormone modulates activity; these hormones work together in that they regulate each other to maintain homeostasis  
🗑
Overview of bone growth   Most growth stops during adolescence and early adulthood; nose and lower jaw continue to grow throughout life; Osteoclasts and osteoblasts continue throughout life reshaping and remodeling bones (bone deposition and resorption) to fit our lifestyles  
🗑
Bone turnover   We turnover about 5-7% of bone mass per week  
🗑
Bone deposit   laying down bone and calcifying it; done by the osteoblasts and results in new bone formation; usually occurs after injury for additional bone strength  
🗑
Vitamins and bones (bone deposit)   Vitamin C- used in collagen synthesis; a deficit will cause scurvy Vitamin D- calcium absorption Vitamin A- balances bone deposit and absorption  
🗑
Minerals and bones (bone deposit)   Calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium  
🗑
Bone resorption   Break down of bone matrix; done by osteoclasts; done to raise blood calcium levels or remove necrotic debris  
🗑
Lysosomal enzymes and bone (bone resorption)   digest the organic matrix of bone  
🗑
Acids and bone (bone resorption)   convert Ca2+ salts  
🗑
Bone remodeling is regulated by:   hormonal regulation and mechanical stress  
🗑
Hormonal regulation of bone remodeling   regulate blood calcium levels and homeostasis tightly by a negative feedback loop; the hormones used are calcitonin and parathyroid  
🗑
Calcitonin & parathyroid hormones (bone remodeling)   Calcitonin- secreted by thyroid gland and stimulates osteoblasts and suppresses parathyroid gland Parathyroid hormone- secreted by parathyroid, stimulates osteoclasts and suppresses thyroid gland  
🗑
Mechanical stress and bone remodeling   Ex. femur -Standing causes stress on the femur; to cope the medial side will compress and lateral side will stretch (tensile forces); lateral side contains more collagen while the medial side contains more mineral; bone adapts to the stress put on it  
🗑
Bone homeostatic imbalances (bone disease)   1.Osteomalacia 2.Osteoporosis 3.Pagets disease  
🗑
Osteomalacia   "soft bone"; inadequate mineralization but plenty of collagen; pain when weighted; called rickets in children; causes bow legs and deformities to pelvis, skull, and ribcage; nutrition- Vitamin D  
🗑
Osteoporosis   Bone resorption is greater than deposit but matrix composition is normal; occurs in spongy bone, femur, neck/spine; hormone replacement therapy can help; height loss due to minor fractures in the spine; most common in women (post menopause)  
🗑
Pagets disease   Excessive bone formation and breakdown; abnormal ratio of spongy bone to compact bone; poor mineralization of new bone; may be viral in origin  
🗑
Bone heals...   similar to embryonic ossification; 5 steps  
🗑
Step 1 of bone healing   Hematoma (clot) forms; injured cells die; swelling, pain, and inflammation; this occurs shortly after break  
🗑
Step 2 of bone healing   White blood cells come to get rid of foreign materials and get rid of dead white blood cells  
🗑
Step 3 of bone healing   Fibrocartilage callus; soft callus (granulation); capillaries form; fibroblasts, chondroblasts, and osteoblasts are not present; occurs 2-4 days after break  
🗑
Step 4 of bone healing   bony callus; spongy bone forms; connects ends of broken bone  
🗑
Step 5 of bone healing   Bone remodeling; begins with bony callus formation; then formation of the medullary cavity; then lastly formation of compact bone  
🗑
