Ch.6 The Skeletal System: Bone Tissue Flashcards

1
Q

Function of Bone Tissue

A
  1. Support (frame work, scaffolding for the soft tissue)
  2. Protection (surround soft tissue to prevent injury)
  3. Movement (act as levers for muscle to work on)
  4. Mineral storage (calcium, magnesium, and phosphate are deposited and withdrawn)
  5. Blood cell formation (all blood cells and platelets are made in red marrow cavities)
  6. Triglyceride storage (fats are stored in yellow marrow)

Q

Osteoclasts

Cell Type

A
  • formed from fusion of many WBCs
  • found in endosteum
  • secrete enzymes that break down bone matrix from ruffled border side
20
Q

Haversian systems

Compact Bone Anatomy

A

Made of osteons

21
Q

Osteons

Compact Bone Anatomy

A

layers of concentric lamellae around a Haversian (central) canal

22
Q

Lamellae

Compact Bone Anatomy

A

composed of parallel bundles of collagen fibers in calcified matrix

23
Q

Lacunae

Compact Bone Anatomy

A
  • with osteocytes living in them
  • found between adjacent lamellae
24
Q

Volkman (perforating) canals

Compact Bone Anatomy

A

connects the vessels in the periosteum and central canals

25
Osteocytes | Compact Bone Anatomy
- live in lacunae - send cellular projections into the canaliculi - The projection from one osteocyte meets the next osteocyte with gap junction between them -- Allows nutrients, wastes, chemical signals, etc to get to osteocytes
26
Canaliculi | Compact Bone Anatomy
small canals that connect the lacunae
27
Spongy Bone Anatomy
- No osteons - Incomplete lamellae form a scaffolding of trabeculae - Trabeculae contain lacunae and canaliculi with osteocytes
28
Osteogenesis
- (ossification) = formation of bone - Begins in the early weeks (5 – 6) of embryo development Two processes: 1. Intramembraneous ossification – flat bones 2. Endochondral ossification – all other bones esp. long bones
29
Interstitial Growth of the Long Bones
Resting Zone: Nearest epiphysis 1. Proliferation zone: carilage cells undergo mitosis 2. Hypertrophic zone: older cartilage cells enlarge 3. Calcification zone: matrix becomes calcified; cartilage cells die; matrix begins deteriorating 4. Ossification zone: New bone formation is occuring
30
Closure of the Epiphyseal Plate
- Late teens (female ~ 18, males ~ 21) - cells in proliferating zone divide less frequently, but replacement at the diaphysis side remains constant - Plate closes
31
Appositional Growth
- As bone lengthens, adjustments are made to the width to maintain the proper shape - Osteoblasts add matrix to the external surface that develop into new osteons - Osteoclasts widen the internal area
32
Bone Remodeling
- Ongoing project to replace bone - Every week we recycle 5 to 7% of our bone mass. Spongy bone replaced every three to four years, compact bone every ten years or so. - Purpose: renews bone tissue before deterioration sets in AND redistributes bone matrix along lines of mechanical stress. - Osteoclasts tunnel through/remove old bone (reabsorption) and osteoblasts follow making new bone (bone deposition) - Requires minerals (Ca2+ , PO4-, Mg2+) and vitamins (C, B12, A) and hormones (growth hormone - GH, thyroid hormone (TH), sex hormones, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and calcitonin)
33
Blood Calcium Homeostasis
- HIGH blood Ca --> Calcitonin released --> stimulates calcium salt deposit in bone - LOW blood Ca --> PTH released
34
Thickening of Bones
Controlled by bone cells: - Osteoblasts (under periosteum) -- Secrete bone matrix on outer surface --> Bone becomes thicker - Osteoclasts (in endosteum) -- Break down bone --> Medullary cavity widens -- Shaft diameter increases
35
Bone Fractures
1. Nondisplaced 2. Displaced 3. Complete 4. Incomplete 5. Linear 6. Transverse 7. Compound 8. Simple
36
Comminuted | Bone Fracture
Bone fragments into three or more pieces - due to age
37
Compression | Bone Fracture
- Bone is crushed - Ex: crushed vertebra - osteoporotic
38
Spiral | Bone Fracture
- ragged break occurs when excessive twisting frces are applied to a bone - due to sports injury
39
Epiphyseal | Bone Fracture
- epiphysis seperates from the diaphysis along the epiphyseal plate
40
Depressed | Bone Fracture
Broken bone portion is pressed inward - typically a skull fracture
41
Greenstick | Bone Fracture
Bone break is incomplete - occurs in kids
42
Healing of Bone Fracture
1. A Hematoma forms 2. Fibrocartilaginous callus forms 3. Bony callus forms 4. Bone remodeling occurs
43
Osteoporosis
- Bone reabsorption occurs faster than bone deposit = net bone loss - Chemical composition remains the same - Bones become light, porous and fragile particularly femur and vertebra
44
Osteoporosis: Risk Factors
- Genetics - Postmenopausal or ovary removal (estrogen inhibits PTH activity) - Lack of exercise to stress bones - Thin/small body frame - Poor nutrition: especially Vitamin D and calcium - Smoking: reduces estrogen levels
45
Sesamoid bones
- (sesame seed shaped short bone) forms in tendons - alter direction of pull of a tendon
