Midterm 2 Flashcards
what is the bone support function ?
it supports tissues and provided attachment points for tendons of skeletal muscles
what is the bone protection function?
it protects internal organs
how does bone maintain mineral homeostasis?
it stores and maintains homeostatic control of the blood concentration of calcium phosphate in bone mineral
what bone marrow produces blood cells ?
red bone marrow
how does bone store triglyceride?
bone stores energy in the form of triglycerides in yellow bone marrow/adipose cells
what are 6 functions of bone?
- support
- protection
- assistance in movement
- mineral homeostasis
- blood cell production
- triglyceride storage
what is compact bone?
organized into Haversian systems/osteon on the “perimeter/lining” of bone
what is spongy bone ?
thin columns of bone called trabeculae on the “inside” of bone
osteogenic cells origin ?
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
osteogenic cells location ?
periosteum
osteogenic cells function ?
to become more differentiated to form osteoblasts
osteoblasts origin?
osteogenic cells that have differentiated
osteoblasts location?
bone surface/lining and bone itself
osteoblasts function?
forms new bones + adds growth to existing bone tissue
osteocytes origin?
osteoblasts that were encased in mineralized matrix
osteocytes location?
reside in lacunae in close proximity to blood vessels
osteocytes function?
maintaining strength and health of the bone matrix
osteoclasts origin?
derived from the fusing of many monocytes (blood cells)
osteoclasts location?
bone surface/lining and bone itself
osteoclasts function?
break down/reabsorb bone
what is an osteoid?
unmineralized bone matrix
what are the two types of bone formation?
- intramembranous ossification
- endochondral ossification
flat bones of skull + mandible develop via what bone formation type?
intramembranous ossification
endochondral ossification
is a type of skeletal development in which hyaline cartilage is replaced by bone
