Q

What is the structure of short, irregular and flat bones?

A

Thin plates of spongy bone covered by compact bone.

Q

Another name for Hematopoietic tissue

A

What is Red marrow?

24
Where is red marrow / hematopoietic tissue found?
Within the trabecular cavities of spongy bone of long bones and in diploë of flat bones.
25
What is the function of bone markings?
Serve as sites of muscle, ligament, tendon attachment | Also joint surfaces or as conduits or blood vessels and nerves
26
"Within the bone"
What is Endosteum?
27
The five types of bone tissue cells
``` Osteogenic cells Osteoblasts Osteocytes Bone-lining cells Osteoclasts ```
28
Mitotically active, Bone-forming cells that secrete the bone matrix.
What are Osteoblasts.?
29
What type of cells do all connective tissue cells originate from? (Except osteoclasts)
What are Mesenchymal cells?
30
What type of cell is a stem cell?
What are Osteogenic/osteoprogenitor cell
31
Mitotically active stem cells found in membranous periosteum and endosteum
What are Osteogenic cells/osteoprogenitor cells?
32
Which type of bone cell plays a role in matrix calcification?
Osteoblasts
33
Flat cells found on bone surfaces where remodeling is occurring
What is Bone lining cells?
34
Lamellae that are found just deep to the periosteum and just superficial to the endosteum. Extending around entire circumference of diaphysis
What are Circumferential Lamellae?
35
Structural unit of compact bone
What is Osteon/Haversian system?
36
Spidery-shaped, Mature bone cell that monitors and maintains the mineralized bone matrix
What are Osteocytes?
37
What are tiny weight-bearing pillars?
Osteons
38
"Little plate"
Lamella
39
Type of bone cell that is responsible for bone growth
What are Osteoblasts?
39
What is a lamella?
A group of hollow tubes of bone matrix, one placed outside the next like growth rings on a tree trunk.
40
Lamellar bone is more commonly known as ....?
Compact bone
42
Giant multinucleate cells located at sites of bone resorption
What are Osteoclasts?
43
Collagen fibers on a lamella run in similar direction or opposite directions?
Opposite
44
Canal running through the center of each osteon
What is the Central canal/Haversian canal?
44
"Little lakes" where osteocytes lie
What are Lacunae?
45
What are canaliculi?
Hairlike canals that connect the lacunae to each other and to the central canal
47
Canals which lie at right angles to the long axis to the bone and connect the blood and nerve supply of the medullary cavity to the central canal.
What are Perforating canals/Volkmann's canals?
48
How are canaliculi formed?
When bone is forming, osteoblasts that are secreting bone matrix surround blood vessels and maintain contact with one another by tentacle-like projections. The newly secreted matrix hardens Maturing cells become trapped Tiny canals are formed
49
Lamellae that are not part of complete osteons. | Lie between intact osteons
What are Interstitial lamellae?
50
Type of bone that is only a few cells thick Irregularly arranged Lamellae Osteocytes are interconnected by canaliculi
What is spongy bone?
51
How do nutrients reach osteocytes of spongy bone?
By diffusing through the canaliculi from capillaries in the endosteum surrounding the trabeculae.
52
Substances that include bone cells and an osteoid
What are organic components?
53
This makes up approx. one-third of the matrix | Includes ground substance and collagen fibers
What is an osteoid?
54
Substances : mineral salts
What are inorganic components?
55
What is bone ground substance composed of?
Proteogylcans | Glycoproteins
56
These bonds stretch and break easily on impact, dissipating energy to prevent the force from rising to a fraction value. Most of these bonds re-form.
What is sacrificial bonds?
57
Why do bones last long after death?
Because of the mineral salts they contain, providing an enduring "monument".
