26
Q

Once Osteoblasts secrete enough bone martix they become?

A

Osteocytes

27
Q

Canaliculi

A

Osteocyte extensions - long narrow spaces

from the lacunae to the osteonic (haversian) canal to provide passageways through the hard matrix

28
Q

What deposits calcium into the bone?

A

Osteoblasts deposit calcium into the bone

29
Q

What releases calcium into the blood stream?

A

​Oseoclasts release calcuim into the bloodstream

30
Q

How do nutrients and gases pass in bone?

A

Through canaliculi and lacunae or from gap junction

31
Q

Bone reabsorption

A
32
Q

What is the bone reaborpion process?

A
  1. Osteoclasts must access the bone matrix
  2. Osteoclasts form attachement structures called integrins
  3. Structures call podosomes develop and form a sealed compartment under the osteoclasts
  4. The osteoclast plasma membrane further differentiates into a highly folded form called ruffled border
  5. Acidic vesicle fuse with the membrane of ruffled border, while enzymes are inserted into the membrane.
  6. The acidic environment causes decalcification of the bone matrix.
  7. The enzymes digest organic protien component of bone
  8. The degradation products are secreted into the exracellular space enter the blood and are used elsewhere in the body.
33
Q

Stem cells

A

are the body’s raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated

34
Q

Osteochondral pregenitor cells

A

Stem cells that become osteblasts or chondroblasts

35
Q

Bone remodeling

A

Disordered woven bone is remodeled based on stress applied to bone

36
Q

Lamellar bone

A

Mature bone organized into thin concentric layers called lamelle

organized into rings

37
Q
A
38
Q

Woven bone

A

Is the first type of bone formed during ossification

Fairly weak

39
Q

What are the 2 types of bone formed during ossification?

A

Woven bone and lamellar bone

40
Q

Lamellar Bone

A

Is mature bone

Organized into thin circles called Lamellae

41
Q

Lamellae

A

a thin layer, membrane, or plate of tissue

Made of collagen and hydroiapitite

42
Q

Spongy Bone

A

Forms the inner layer of all bones

Interlocking rods or plates of bone called trabeculae. In between the trabeculae are spaces that are filled with bone marrow and blood vessels

Trabeculae consists of several lamellae with osteocytes in lacunae between the lamellae. The osteocytes associate with other osteocytes through canaliculi

43
Q

Trabeculae

A

Thin and consists of several lamellae with osteocytes in lacunae between the lamellae.

Trabeculae are orientated along the lines of stress within a bone, if the force of the bones changes the trabecular pattern realigns with the new lines of stress

44
Q

Compact Bone

A

Solid outer layer surrounding each bone

Has more matrix and fewer pores than spongy bone

Blood vessels enter the substance of the bone itself and the lamellae are primarily orientaed around those blood vessels.

45
Q

Osteon

A

Functional unit of compact bone

composed of rings of matrix which surround a central tunnel and contain osetocytes

46
Q

Concentric Lamellae

A

Layers of compact bone arranged concentrically around blood vessels in the Haversian canal

Each osteon has 4-20 concerntric lamellae

47
Q

Circumferential lamellae

A

Form the outer surfaces of compact bone

48
Q

Interstitial lamellae

A

Remnants of concentric or circumferenial lamellae that were partially removed during bone remodeling

49
Q

How many types of lamellae are there and where are they?

A

Concentric lamellae - rings of bone matrix, In an osteon surrounding central canal

Circumferential lamellae - form outer surfaces of compact bone

Interstitial Lamellae - remnants of concentric or circumfrential lamellae that were partially removed during bone remodeling

50
Q

Perforating canals

A

Deliver blood to the central canals of the osteons

Run perpendicular to the length of the bone

Contain blood vessels from periosteum or medullary cavity

51
Q

Diaphysis

A

Center portion of long bone

Composed primarily of compact bone

52
Q

Medullary cavity

A

is the central cavity of bone shafts where red bone marrow and/or yellow bone marrow (adipose tissue) is stored

AKA marrow cavity.

Some spongy bone can be found lining the medullary cavity

53
Q

Epiphyses

A

Ends of long bone

Mostly spongy bone, with an outer layer of compact bone

Develops from its own center of ossification

54
Q

Articular cartilage

A

smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints.

55
Q

Each long bone of the foot or hand has one epiphysis, which end of the bone is it located?

A

Proxmial or distal end

56
Q

Epiphyseal plate or growth plate

A

located between the epiphysis and the disphysis

Where growth in bone length happens

When bone growth stops epiphyseal plate becomes ossified and becomes epiphyseal line

57
Q

Epiphyseal line

A

When bone stops growing in length, the epiphyseal plate becomes ossified

58
Q

What is in the cavity of spongy bone and the medullary cavity?

A

Marrow

59
Q

Red marrow

A

The site of blood cell formation

60
Q

Yellow Marrow

A

mostly adipose tissue

61
Q

What type of marrow is found in fetus?

A

Red marrow

The conversion of Red to Yellow marrow begins just before birth and continues to adulthoos

62
Q

Periosteum

A

connective tissue membrane covering the outer surface of a bone

The outer fibrous layer is dense irregular connective tissues that contains blood vessels and nerves.

The inner layer is a single layer of bone cells

63
Q

Perforating fibers

A

bundles of collagen fibers from tendons or ligaments that penetrate the periosteum into the outer part of the bone

64
Q

Endosteum

A

a single cell layer of connective tisse that lines the internal surfaces of all cavities with in bones, such as medullary cavity

Includes: Osteoblasts, osetoclasts, and esteochondral progenitor cells
