Bone Tissue Flashcards
types of bone tissue
cartilage, bone, bone marrow, and periosteum
___ tissue makes up most of skeleton
osseous (bone)
cells of bone tissue
osteogenic, osteoblast, osteocyte, osteoclast
osteogenic cells
progenitor cells, turn into osteoblasts
osteoblasts
form bone tissue
osteocytes
maintain bone tissue
osteoclast
functions in resorption (the destruction of bone matrix) during remodeling
extracellular matrix
25% water, 25% organic matrix, 50% crystalized mineral salts
organic matrix mostly
collagen fibers
crystalized mineral salts mostly
hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate crystals)
calcium phosphate used for
clotting, muscle contraction, and neuron function
two kinds of bone
compact, spongy
compact
consists of osteons, composes diaphysis
compact function
protect and support
compact tissue form
arranged in haversian systems/osteons around a central haversian canal with a blood vessel or nerve in the center surrounded by rings of osteocytes and calcified matrix
lamellae
concentric rings of calcified matrix
lacunae
spaces for osteocytes
osteocytes are aligned
in the same direction along lines of stress
canaliculi
mini canals filled with extracellular fluid that allow osteocytes to communicate
interstitial lamellae
older osteons that have been partially removed during tissue remodeling
spongy bone
does not have osteons, consists of trabeculae
spongy bone found in
short, flat, and irregular bones, and in the epiphyses of long bones
spongy bone function
store red marrow
spongy bone form
latticework of trabeculae
