Rigid strong bones – for bearing weight and is the major supporting tissue of the body. Cartilage – provides a firm yet flexible support within certain structures (ex. nose and
external ears).
Ligaments – are strong bands of fibrous connective tissue that attach to bone and hold them together.

woven bone, periosteum
26
just deep to the periosteum thicken, forming a woven bone collar that is later replaced with mature lamellar bone.
Trabeculae
27
• consisting of distinct trabeculae, persists internally and its vascular tissue becomes red marrow.
Spongy bone (diploë),
28
Bone growth occur by:
Appositional Growth Endochondral Growth
29
It refers to the formation of new bone on the surface of existing bone.
Appositional Growth
30
results as osteoblasts deposit new bone matrix on the surface of bones between the periosteum and the existing bone matrix. Responsible for the increase in width or diameter of long bones and most growth of other bones.
Appositional growth
31
Osteoblasts beneath the periosteum secrete bone matrix, forming ridges that follow the course of periosteal blood vessels. As the bony ridges enlarge and meet, the groove containing the blood vessel becomes a tunnel. The periosteum lining the tunnel is transformed into an endosteum and the osteoblasts just deep to the tunnel endosteum secrete bone matrix, narrowing the canal. As the osteoblasts beneath the endosteum form new lamellae, a new osteon is created. Meanwhile new circumferential lamellae are elaborated beneath the periosteum and the process is repeated, continuing to enlarge bone diameter.
Appositional Growth
32
It refers to the growth of cartilage in the epiphyseal plate and its eventual replacement by bone.
Endochondral Growth
33
Responsible for the increase in the length of the bone. Bones continue to grow in length until early childhood, the rate of growth is controlled by hormones.
Endochondral Growth
34
Bones continue to grow in length until early childhood, the rate of growth is controlled by
hormones
35
Growth Bone grows in length because: 1. Cartilage Grows here 2. Cartilage replaced by bone here 3. Cartilage grows here 4. Cartilage replaced by bone here Remodelling Growing shaft is remodeled by : 1. Bone resorbed here 2. Bone added by appositional growth here 3. Bone resorbed here
Endochondral Growth
36
It involves the removal of old bone by cells called osteoclast and the deposition of new bone by osteoblast. It occurs in all bone.
Bone Remodeling
37
Remodeling is responsible for:
Bone growth Changes in bone shape Adjustment of bone to stress Bone repair Calcium ion regulation
38
Bone remodeling involves the removal of old bone by cells called —— and the deposition of new bone by —-.
osteoclast, osteoblast
39
Bone remodeling Consists of three consecutive phases:
Resorption Reversal Formation
40
– during which osteoclasts digest old bone.
Resorption
41
when mononuclear cells appear on the bone surface.
Reversal
42
when osteoblasts lay down new bone until the resorbed bone is completely replaced.
Formation
43
A process in which a bone repairs itself following a bone fracture. When a bone is broken, a clot forms in the damaged area. Callus forms, the zone of tissue repair between the two bone fragments. Osteoblasts enter the callus and form cancellous bone. The cancellous bone is slowly remodeled to form compact bone and the repair is complete.
Bone Repair (Healing)
44
When a bone is broken, a —- forms in the damaged area.
clot
45

Callus
46

49
serves as the major storage site for calcium.
Bone
50
The movement of calcium in and out of bone helps determine.
blood calcium levels
51
Calcium moves — bone as —- build new bone. Calcium move — of bone as —- break down bone.
into, osteoblasts out, osteoclasts
52
Calcium homeostasis is maintained by —— and ——.
parathyroid hormone, calcitonin
53
is maintained by parathyroid hormone and calcitonin.
Calcium homeostasis
54
Osteoclasts break down bone and release calcium into the blood, and osteoblasts remove calcium from the blood to make bone. PTH regulates blood calcium levels by indirectly stimulating osteoclast activity, resulting in increased calcium release into the blood. Calcitonin plays a minor role in calcium maintenance by inhibiting osteoclast activity. In the kidneys, PTH increases calcium reabsorption from the urine In the kidneys, PTH also promotes the formation of active vitamin D, which increases calcium absorption from the small intestine.
Bone and Calcium Homeostasis
55
A form of short-limbed dwarfism. literally means “without cartilage formation”. the problem is not in forming cartilage but in converting it to bone.
ACHONDROPLASIA
56
Achondroplasia literally means
“without cartilage formation”.
57
Also known as brittle bone disease. A genetic disorder that results from a lack of protein collagen producing very brittle bones that are easily fractured.
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
58
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA Also known as.
brittle bone disease
59
Bones of children are inadequately mineralized causing softened, weakened bones. Bowed legs and deformities of the pelvis, skull, and rib cage are common. Caused by insufficient calcium in the diet, or by vitamin D deficiency.
RICKETS
60
Bones are inadequately mineralized causing softened, weakened bones. Main symptom is pain when weight is put on the affected bone. Caused by insufficient calcium in the diet, or by vitamin D deficiency.
OSTEOMALACIA
61
Infection in bone caused by Staphylococcus bacteria. The bacteria can enter a bone by : the bloodstream, injuries and surgery.
OSTEOMYELITIS
62
Osteomyelitis caused by
Staphylococcus bacteria.
63
Group of diseases in which bone reabsorption outpaces bone deposit. Spongy bone of the spine is most vulnerable. Occurs most often in postmenopausal women. Bones become so fragile that sneezing or stepping off a curb can cause fractures.
OSTEOPOROSIS
64
OSTEOPOROSIS occurs most often in
Postmenopausal women
65
Lateral curvature of the central part of the spine.
SCOLIOSIS
66
The condition, scoliosis is brought on by:
1. congenitally malformed vertebra 2. chronic sciatica 3. paralysis of muscles on one side of the backbone 4. poor posture
67
It refers to a break in a bone. Common types of fractures include simple, compound, compression, comminuted and greenstick
Fracture
68
Bone breaks into many fragments. Particularly common in the aged, whose bones are more brittle.
Comminuted
69
Bone is crushed. (i.e., osteoporotic bones). Common in porous bones
Compression
70
Broken bone portion is pressed inward. Typical of skull fracture.
Depressed
71
Broken bone ends are forced into each other. Commonly occurs when one attempts to break a fall with outstretched arms
impacted
72
Ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone. Common sports fracture.
Spiral
73
Bone breaks incompletely, much in the way a green adults. Common in children, whose bones are more flexible than those of
Greenstick
74
Common types of fractures include
simple compound compression comminuted greenstick
75
It literally means “joint inflammation”, however some forms could affect the skin and internal organs. It is marked by pain, stiffness and swelling of the affected joint. It may include one or several joints.
ARTHRITIS
76
Arthritis literally means
joint inflammation”
77
Commonly known as “wear and tear” arthritis A degenerative joint disease in which the cartilage that covers the ends of the bones in the joint deteriorates. Symptoms include: pain, restriction of movement, formation of hard nobs.
