bone Flashcards
(111 cards)
The most dynamic structure in the body; greatly affected by nutritional and metabolic changes.
bone
A reservoir for calcium and phosphorus that undergo a constant flux in and out of the bone matrix.
bone
how does the bone respond to injury
by rapid healing
undergoes internal remodeling throughout life without changing its gross apeparance
bone
Bone cells are in contact with each other through cellular processes embedded in tiny channels in the hard bone matrix called
canaliculi
form a system of channels that provide a route by which processes from one osteocyte can contact those of adjacent ones and allow osteocytes to communicate with one another for passage of information, nutrients, and/or wastes from cells near blood vessels to the ones trapped in lacunae.
canaliculi
highly vascular and grows only by appositional method
bone
why do bones cannot grow interstitially
because of its rigidity due to mineralization
functions of bones
forms the skeleton of the body
provides attachment sites for muscles and constitutes the structural framework of the thoracic and abdominal cavities
it houses haemopoietic tissue and serves as reservoir for various minerals
bone
2 division of functions of bones
support and metabolism
the connective tissue sheath of bone which influences the function of bone
periosteum
the 2 components of the periosteum a
outer fibrous layer and inner osteogenic layer
composed of regular DWFCT (collagen fibers) and fibroblast
outer fibrous layer of periosteum
composed of stellate or spindle shaped osteogenic cells from the fibroblast cell line.
inner osteogenic layer of periosteim
surrounds the bone, except at articular surfaces and at many sites of muscle attachment
periosteum
the contents of the periosteum for maintenance of the underlying bone
sensory nerve fibers and a dense network of blood and lymphatic vessels
capable of rapidly producing new bone tissue,
the pluripotent osteogenic layer of periosteum
Bone cavities and canals are lined by
endosteum
this is much thinner than periosteum and outer fibrous layer is loose connective tissue rwathher than dwct
endosteum
responsible for internal remodelling of bone
endosteum
bone is derived from the
mesencgymal connective tissue
bone is consist of
bone cells and bone matrix
principal component of bone
intercellular substance
