3
Q

What type of bone forms the inner cavity of bones?

A

Trabecular/spongy bone meshwork

4
Q

What lines the inside of a medullary cavity?

A

Endosteum

5
Q

What lines the outside of the medullary cavity?

A

Periosteum

6
Q

What is the name given to the ends of long bones?

A

Epiphysis (where bone growth occurs)

7
Q

What is the name given to the middle of long bones?

A

Diaphysis

8
Q

Describe woven bone?

A

Immature bone with an irregular pattern

Extracellular matrix is made up of collagen fibrils

9
Q

describe lamellar bone?

A

Mature bone with haversian systems arranged in layers

In can exist as either compact or trabecular

10
Q

Where is woven bone found in an adult?

A

Tooth socket

Cranial sutures

11
Q

What is found on the outer layers of haversian bone?

A

Collagen and blood vessels

12
Q

What forms the inner layer of haversian bone and what is found here?

A

Internally lined with endosteum containing osteoprogenitor cells and reticular fibres

13
Q

What travels in the central canal of haversian systems?

A

Blood vessels

14
Q

What are Volksman’s canals?

A

Perindicular (to the central haversian canal) containing blood vessels

15
Q

What connects muscle tendons to bone?

A

Sharpey’s fibres

16
Q

What structure traps immobile osteocytes?

A

Lacunae

17
Q

What is the chemical formula of hydroxyapetite?

A

Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2

18
Q

Name all of the organic compounds involved in bone mineralisation?

A

Osteoid collagen
Proteins x2
Proteoglycans

19
Q

Name the two organic proteins and which one is secreted by osteoblasts?
What is their function?

A

Osteopontin
Osteocalcin (secreted by osteoblasts)
Bind osteoblasts to the bone matrix

20

What type of collagen fibrils make up osteoid collagen?

A

Type I

21
Q

Name the inorganic compounds involved in bone mineralisation?

A

Hydroxyapetite

22
Q

What does hydroxyapetite seeding and growth depend on?

A

Concentration of Calcium and Phosphate

23
Q

Bone can only grow where crystal nuclei can form, what does normal tissue contain to prevent bone formation?

A

Pyrophosphates
