Bone Tissue Flashcards
(40 cards)
Other functions of Bone Tissue aside from protecting organs
Hematopoiesis & Reservoir for Calcium and minerals
A.k.a Blood cell formation
Hematopoiesis
Cells derived from Osteoprogenitor Cells
Osteoblasts
Function of Osteoblasts
Synthesize, secrete, & deposit Osteoid
How are osteoblasts arranged, and where?
Arranged as a layer of cuboidal/columnar cells on the bone surface
Osteoblasts mature into?
Osteocytes
Osteocytes are found/located where?
Lacunae
What do osteocytes use for communication and exchange of metabolic products and nutrients
Canaliculi
Functions of osteocytes
Maintain homeostasis of bone, and blood concentrations of calcium & phosphate
Multinucleated cells of the bone tissue
Osteoclasts
Osteoclasts occupy shallow concavities called what?
Howship’s Lacunae
Function of Osteoclasts
Resorption, Remodeling, & Bone Repair
Two components of Bone Matrix
Inorganic & Organic
Component of Bone Matrix that resists compression
Inorganic
Component of Bone Matrix that resists tension
Organic
Two layers of a Periosteum
Outer Fibrous & Inner Cellular
Bundles of Periosteal collagen that penetrate the bone matrix and bind the periosteum to the bone (found in the Outer Fibrous layer)
Perforating Fibers / Sharpey Fibers
Cells found in the Inner cellular layer of the periosteum
Osteoblasts & Osteoprogenitor cells
Covers small trabiculae of bony matrix that project into marrow cavities
Endosteum
Types of Bone Tissues
1.) Lamellar, Mature, Secondary Bone
2.) Woven, Immature, Primary Bone
Which bone tissue is stronger? Primary or Secondary?
Secondary (mature) is stronger than Primary (immature)
Types of Secondary (Mature) Bone
1.) Compact
2.) Cancellous/Spongy
Compact bone is __% of total bone mass
80%
Structural units of Compact bone
Osteons
