25
What are the three functions of the Periosteum?
1. Nutrition 2. Protection 3. Growth
26
How does the Periosteum provide nutrition to the bone?
Via blood vessels which enter the bone through nutrient foramen which then connect to perforating and central canals
27
How does the Periosteum provide protection to bone?
through free nerve endings
28
How does the Periosteum function in the growth of the bone?
it is responsible for diametric (width) growth and critical for callus formation following a fracture (inner layer)
29
What part of bone are the articulating ends?
Epiphysis
30
What part of the Epiphysis is generally oriented along the major stress lines of the bone?
Spicules
31
What is the Epiphyseal Plate?
Hyaline cartilage plate in the Metaphysis at each end of long bone
32
What type of person contains an Epiphyseal Plate?
children and adolescents
33
What is the Epiphyseal Plate replaced with after an adult has stopped growing?
Epiphyseal Line
34
What is the Epiphyseal Plate responsible for?
Longitudinal growth
35
The Epiphyseal Plate usually closes after the ____th year.
25
36
What is the basic unit of structure of Compact Bone? What is it sometimes called?
- Osteon | - Haversian System
37
What do Osteons consist of?
central canals surrounded by concentric layers of bone (lamellae), which run parallel to the long axis of the bone and contain nerve, arterioles, and venules.
38
What are the five structures of an Osteon?
1. Lamella : concentric ring 2. Central (Haversian) Canal : runs through core 3. Perforating Canals : connect central canals 4. Lacuna: contain osteocytes 5. Canaliculi
39
What are osteocytes?
mature bone cells
40
What are Canaliculi?
Tiny canals which interconnect Lacunae
41
What do the Canaliculi provide?
A pathway for nutrients to diffuse from the central canal to osteocytes within their own osteon
42
What are the two types of Osteocytes?
1. Osteoblasts | 2. Osteoclasts
43
What do Osteoblasts do?
build bone
44
What do Osteoclasts do?
remove bone
45
Lamellae of spongy bone are not arranged in _____ layers.
concentric
46
How are Lamellae arranged in spongy bone?
