Bone Flashcards
____ are stem cells in the inner layer of periosteum or endosteum that develop into osteoblasts
osteogenic cells
___ are cells which secrete bone matrix
osteoblasts
____ are mature bone cells that maintain the bone matrix
osteocytes
___ are macrophage cells, derived from hematopoietic stem cells, which reabsorb bone matrix
osteoclasts
Bone matrix consists of what two parts?
osteoid and inorganic molecules
The ____ is the organic part of the matrix secreted by osteoblasts
osteoid
The osteoid is made up of the ___ and ____
ground substance and collagen fibers
The ground substance of the osteoid is made up of what 3 things?
extracellular fluid (mainly water), cell adhesion proteins, and proteoglycans (polysaccharides linked with proteins; act like sponges by allowing compaction)
The inorganic molecules in the bone matrix are called ____, which contain calcium and phosphate secreted separately by osteoblasts and form crystals outside of the cells–they give the bone strength
hydroxyapatite
The outer part of bone is ____ bone, while the inner part of bone is ____
compact; cancellous
Within cancellous bone, the trabeculae is ____ and the spaces around are filled with ____
bone matrix; marrow
Osteocytes are connected by their ____
cell processes
____ between osteocytes allow transport of nutrients and information
gap junctions
The cell processes of osteocytes are located within ____
canaliculus
The osteocytes are located within ___
lacuna
An osteon is composed of both a ____ and and multiple connected _____
central canal; osteocytes
Within central canals there are ____, ____, and ___
nerves, arteries, and veins
Osteons are located within ___ bone
compact
Osteons run (parallel/perpendicular) to the long axis of the bone and (parallel/perpendicular) to the long axis there are multiple perforating canals to bring NAV in
parallel; perpendicular
The spaces between osteons, which have remnants of old osteons are called the _____
interstitial lamellae
The layers on the very external surface of bone, all the way around the bone are _____
circumferential lamellae
The layers around each central canal are ____
concentric lamellae
The collagen fibers in one lamella are arranged in ___ direction(s)
one
The direction of collagen fibers in adjacent lamellae are in ____ direction(s)
different
The oblique orientation of collagen fibers within compact bone help the bone do what?
resist torsional forces
Cancellous bone provides ___ to bones while allowing the bones to also be ____
strength; lighter
(T/F) Cancellous bone contains osteons
false
Cancellous bones have trabeculae, which are ______
supporting columns of bone that are aligned along lines of stress
What does cancellous bone have instead of osteons?
irregularly arranged lamellae with osteocytes
The ___ of cancellous bone is a single layer of bone cells on the external surface of the trabeculae
endosteum
_____ are collagen fibers of tendons and ligaments that penetrate the periosteum and enter the outer layer of bone
Sharpey’s fibers
Red bone marrow is ____ tissue
hematopoietic
In infants where is red bone marrow found?
within medullary cavitites and trabecular cavities of cancellous bone
In adults where is red bone marrow found?
trabecular cavities of cancellous bone mainly within flat bones and the ends of long bones
In adults where is yellow marrow found?
within the medullary cavities
The outer layer of the periosteum is made up of ____
dense irregular collagenous connective tissue
