Q

Two types of bone

Cortical and cancellous

Q

What is cortical bone arranged in units of?

A

Osteons aka haversian systems

5

Osteonic consist of ______ layers of bone arranged around a central ___________ ___________

concentric, haversian canal

6
Q

What does the haversian canal contain?

A

Blood vessels and nerves

7
Q

What are interspersed between the concentric layers of bone in the osteons?

A

Osteocytes

8
Q

What connect the haversian system together?

A

Volkmann’s Canals

9
Q

Channels that run perpendicular to the haversian canals allowing blood vessels to travel from the outside of the bone to the center

A

Volkmann’s Canals

10
Q

Cancellous bone consists of interconnected bands of tissue called ______

A

Trabeculae

11

Thicker trabeculae may contain _______

A

Osteons

12
Q

Cancellous bone typically contains more irregularly arranged _________

A

Lamellae

13
Q

Another term for cancellous bone

A

Trabecular bone

14
Q

Bone building cells

A

Osteoblasts

15
Q

Bone removing cells

A

Osteoclasts

16
Q

Cells that reside in cavities within bone and reach through to network with other cells of the same type

A

Osteocytes

17
Q

These cells within the bone transfer nutrients and wastes and send signals based on stress and strain

A

Osteocytes

18
Q

Develop from osteoblasts that get trapped in mineralized bone

A

Osteocytes

19
Q

Line the outer surface of bone

A

Bone lining cells

20
Q

These cells direct mineral update and release in bone

A

Bone lining cells

21
Q

Send signals to initiate bone removal and formation

A

Bone lining cells

22
Q

What mineral is deposited into collagen during bone growth?

A

Hydroxyapatite

23
Q

A soft tissue that contains stem cells

A

Bone marrow

24
Q

The two types of stem cells in bone marrow

A

Mysenchymal and hematopoietic

25
Q

What 5 things do mysenchymal stem cells create?

A

Cartilage, bone, blood vessel, nerve, and fat cells

26
Q

What do hemapoietic stem cells create?

A

Blood cells

27
Q

Define remodeling

A

The process by which the body continually replaces areas of old necrotic bone with new bone tissue

28
Q

Bone remodeling steps

A
  1. Body identifies areas of bone that need replacement
  2. Bone lining cells signal osteoclasts and recruit them
  3. Osteoclasts arrive, attach to bone, create acid environment and create a void
  4. Osteoblasts are recruited after sufficient bone removed
  5. Osteoblasts fill void with osteoid
  6. Osteoid mineralized to become new bone
  7. Some osteoblasts encased in mineralized bone and become osteocytes, others finish filling void and remain outside of the new bone as bone lining cells
29
Q

The remodeling of old necrotic bone or bone grafts

A

Creeping substitution

30
Q

Following the bone remodeling cycle, the mineral density of the region will continue to increase over the next ______ years

A

2-3

31
Q

The term creeping substitution is most commonly used when referring to the incorporation of a ______ ______ into _____ _______

A

Bone graft into living bone

32
Q

Define Wolff’s Law

A

Bone is built where stresses require it and resorbed where stresses are absent

33
Q

What are the three stages of bone repair?

A
Inflammation Phase (0-3 weeks)
Repair Phase (3 weeks to 4 months)
Remodeling Phase (4 months to 7 years)
34
Q

Difference between fracture healing and fusion

A

In fracture healing, you are taking two bone fragments that were once united and putting them back together

In a fusion, two or more separate individual bones are induced to grow together

35
Q

Bone that is removed from one place and transferred to another

A

Bone graft

36
Q

Three stages of bone graft incorporation

A

Inflammation
Repair
Remodeling

37
Q

Lifestyle factors that impact fusion

A
Poor nutrition
Tobacco
Diabetes
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Steroids
Cytotoxic Drugs
Radiation
38
Q

Bone relocated from elsewhere in the patient’s body

A

Autograft

39
Q

Bone taken from another member of the same species

A

Allograft

40
Q

Bone taken from a member of a different species

A
