25
What are osteoclasts?
- Large, Multinuclear, phagocytic cells - Derived from fused bone marrow - Ruffled border to increase the surface area exposed to bone - Often located within or adjacent to the depression pit on the bone surface. (respobrtion lacunae) - involved in breaking down bone
26
What two vitamins are needed in bone formation?
Vitamin D - for calcium absorption vitamin C - collagen formation
27
What does resorption mean?
to break down the bone by osteoclast Calcium is released into the bloodstream
28
What organic substances compose a bone matrix?
The organic compound is osteoid, composed of collagen, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins.
29
What inorganic substances compose a bone matrix?
The inorganic component is formed from hydroxyapatite. Which includes calcium phosphate, other salts and ions, calcium carbonate, sodium, magnesium ion
30
What is ossification or osteogenesis?
- The formation and development of bone connective tissues - begins in the embryo - continues through childhood and adolescents - begins by 8 through 12 weeks of embryonic development - occurs through intramenbrous ossification or endochondral ossification
31
What is intramembrnous ossification?
- formation in most of the flat bones in the skull and clavicle - fibrous connective tissue membranes are formed by mesenchymal cells
32
Steps of intramembranous ossification.
1. ossification centers appear in the fibrous connective tissue membrane ( osteoid secret) 2. Osteiod is secreted within the fibrous membrane and calcifies ( become osteocytes trapped in lacunae) 3. woven bone (trabeculae) and periosteum form ( blood vessels pass through diploe) 4. lamellar bone replaces woven bone, just deep to the periosteum. Red bone marrow appears
33
What bones are formed from intramembranous ossifaction?
Flat bones of the skull, some facial bones, the manubrium, and the central part of the clavicle.
34
What is endochonral ossifaction?
- begins with a hyaline cartilage model - produce most bones of the skeleton, including bones of upper and lower limbs, pelvis, vertebrae, and ends of clavicle.
35
Process of endochonral ossifaction
1. The fetal hyaline cartilage model develops 2. Cartalige calcifies, and a periosteal bone collar forms around diaphysis 3. primary ossification center forms in the diaphysis 4. secondary ossification center form in the epiphysis 5. bone replaces cartilage, except for the growth plate. (epiphyseal plate) 6. epiphyseal plates ossify and turn into epiphyseal lines. ( stop growing lengthwise)
36
Interstitial growth
Bone growth in length - occurs within Zone 2 and Zone 3 - pushes zones of resting cartilage towards the epiphysis - Flexible hyaline cartilage permitting growth - new hyaline cartilage replaced by bone - similar to endochondral ossification during development.
37
Appositional Groth
Width of bone growth - Bone grows in diameter - occurs within the periosteum (outermost side) - bone matrix deposit within layers parallel to the surface - Layers termed external circumferential lamella as they increase in number, they increase in diameter -osteoclast resorb bone matrix along the medullary cavity - transforms infant's bone into adult bone
38
What is mechanical stress?
- occurs in weight-bearing movement and excise - required for normal bone remodeling - detected by osteocytes and communicated to osteoblast - osteoblast synthesis of osteoid - cause an increase in bone strength - results from skeletal contraction and gravitational forces
39
What do you do to increase bone mass?
Exercise from weight lifting, running, walking, etc.
40
What do you do to decrease bone mass?
-removal of mechanical stressors - reduce collagen formation - demineralization decreased strength of unstressed bone in immobilized fracture
41
Hormones used in bone growth and remodeling
Growth hormone (somatropin) thyroid hormone sex hormones: estrogen and testosterone Glucocorticoids serotonin
42
Two hormones that regulate calcium.
Calcitriol ( comes from light or diet made from kidney) parathyroid ( made from parathyroid glands)
42
Why is improtant to regulate calcuim?
- initiation of muscle concentration - exocytosis of the molecules from the cell, including neurons - stimulation of the heart by pacemaker cells. - blood clotting
43
Parathyiod and calcitriol secret in response to?
Low blood calcium levels
44
What is calcitonin?
It ensures calcium leaves the bloodstream and gets back onto the bone or is released by excretion. Produced by the thyroid gland
45
Process of bone fracture
1. a fracture hematoma forms (blood-cleared diaphysis needs to be rebuilt) 2. The osteoblast builds up the bone-secreting osteoid. It becomes hardened by calcium, and osteoblasts get trapped in lacunae. Turn into osteocytes. 3. build compact and spongey bone. Blood vessels go in canals. 4. then you have a clear modular cavity where yellow bone marrow resides.
46
At what age do all bones become entirely ossified?
25 years old
47
What happens to bones in old age?
Bone resorption predominates. In other words, osteoclasts outnumber osteoblasts, making bones weaker.
48
What is called when bones lose mass?
osteoprorosis. Happens in small people. Or lacking the genes for vitamin D docking.
49

What are three Structural classifactions of Joints
- Fibrous - Cartilaginous - Synovial
78
What are the functional classifactions of joints
- Synarthroses (Immoveable) - Amphiarthroses (Slightly moveable) - Diarthroses (Freely moveable)
79
Fibrous joints
- The bones are joined by dense regular fibrus tissue - There is no joint cavity - Most are immoveable (synarthroses) - The three types are sutures, syndesmoses(between radius and ulna), gomphoses example- between tibia and fibula, or between radius and ulna
80
Where are gophoses and sutures found.
- Gophoses found in jaw with teeth - sutures found in skull
81
Cartilaginous joints
- Articulating bones are united by cartillage - Lack a joint cavity - Two types syncrondroses and sympheses
82
Cartilaginous joints: Syncondroses
- A bar or plate of Hyaline cartilage - All synconroses are synarthoric Examples epiphseal plate in children, Joint between costal cartilage of the first rib and sternum.
83
Cartilaginous joints: Symphyses
- Hyaline cartilage covers the articulating surface of the bone and is fused to an intervening pad of firbrocaritllage. - Amphithrotic jonts desinged for strength and flexibility - ex intetervertable joints and the pubis syphsis of the pelvis
84
Synovial joints
- those joints in which the articulating bones are seprated by fluid-containing joint cavity - All are free and moveable diathroses - example all limb joints, and most joints in the body - all jonts that move
85
Synovial joints have all of the follwoing
- Articular cartilage - joint cavity - articular capsule - synovial fluid - reinforcing ligaments
86
What do synovial joints have to protect against? How do they protect?
- Have to protect against friction. - use Bursae that have specialied fluid within - Tendon sheaths are bursae that wrap around the tendon completely
87
What is the purpose of synovial fluid in the joint?
Reduce friction,shock absoprtion, and nurish chondrocytes
88
How is stability determined by in synovial
- Articulating surface - shapes determine what movement is possible - liagments - unite bones and prevent excessive or undesireable movement
89
Muscle tone is acomplished by:
- Muscle tendons across joints acting as stablizing factor - tendons are kept tight by muscle tone at all times
90
The two muscle attachments across a joint are:
- Origin - attachments to the immovable bone - insertion - attachment to moveable bone
91
what is a ligament?
A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone
92
What is tendon?
A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
93
What is the relationship between mobility and stability in a joint?
The greater the mobility, the lesser the stability. The less the mobility, the greater the stability.
94
