Bones

QuestionAnswer
What are functions of bone tissue Support Protection of fragile organs like the brain or heart Anchorage for muscles to produce movement Mineral storage Blood cell formation in red bone marrow Fat storage in yellow bone Hormone production
What does increased force applied to bone cause? Stimulates the remodeling to increase bone strength (denser matrix of calcium and fibers). Decreased force has the opposite effect
How do can bones act as mineral storage where a drop in blood calcium trigger parathyroid hormone release which stimulates osteoclasts to degrade bone and release calcium into the blood to restore normal levels
What are functions of cartilage tissue Provide flexible support which bends rather than breaks Provides a smooth and compressible surface for articulations Provides a matrix for the development of bone
What are the 4 "bone cells" and what do they do? Osteogenic cells (stem cell) which forms osteoblasts Osteoblasts for bone growth, which form osteocytes Osteocytes to repair and maintain health of mature bone Osteoclast to resorb bone (remodeling of mature bone together with osoteocyte)
Give a basic outline of the architecture of outer compact bone -Osteon (haversian) system formed of elongated cylinders (osteons) parallel to long axis of bone, surrounded by hollow tubes of bone matrix like tree rings (lamellae) -Osteocytes b/w lamellae (lacunae) -Lacunae interconnected by small canals (canaliculi
What is the purpose of compact bone Forms a dense outer layer of all bones
Give a basic outline of the architecture of outer compact bone pt 2 -Blood flow perpendicular to haversian canal provided by perforating (Volkmann's canals) -Entire structure covered by circumferential lamella forming sheets of bone
What are the two types of bone canals Osteons (haversian) Perforating (Volkmann's) canals
Give a basic outline of the architecture of spongy (trabecular) bone -inner core of bones -Sponge-like small branches (trabeculae) with spaces for red bone marrow (RBC formation) and yellow marrow (fat stroage) -Trabeculae thing and irregular, often remodeled with stress to give strength -Blood vessels and neurons
What are the two connective bone linings and where are they found Periosteum: covers bone with an outer fibrous layer and inner osteogenic (bone forming) layer Endosteum: lines canals of compact bone and trabeculae of spongy bone
What are the four bone shapes Long bones, Irregular bones, Flat bones, Short bones
Describe long bones Shaft (diaphysis) 2 ends (epiphysis) covered with hyaline cartilage Epiphyseal line between shaft and ends
What is the epiphyseal line? A remnant of the cartilaginous epiphyseal growth plate after epiphyseal plate closure
What are the two types of osteogenesis/ossification Intramembranous ossification Endochondral ossification
When and how does intramembranous ossification occur? -8 weeks of embryonic development -Flat bones of skull and clavicle develop from a fibrous connective tissue membrane containing mesenchymal cells which differentiate into bone forming cells
What to mesenchymal cells do Differentiate into bone forming cells
When does endochondral ossification occur? Second month of development via replacement of hyaline cartilage, until 18-21 years old
How many primary/secondary ossifications are there, and what are they responsible for? For long bones 1 primary center for shaft 2 secondary centers for ends
How do long bones continue to grow after secondary ossification? Hyaline cartilage remains on epiphyseal surfaces at the articular cartilages/the junctions of the diaphysis and epiphyses to form the epiphyseal plates which allow the long bones to continue growing. Interstitial growth occurs until epip. plate closure
What type of ossification centers are in irregular bones? Several distinct ossification centers, not identified as primary or secondary
What are examples of bones that continuously grow? Nose, lower jaw
How do all bones grow in width? Osteoblasts on the periosteal side secrete bone matrix while osteoclast on the endosteal side remove bone matrix
What is the first step of bone repair? 1. Bleeding stimulates the formation of a hematoma, death of oxygen-deprived bone cells, and inflammation which causes pain
What is the second step of bone repair? Hematoma transforms into a soft fibrocartilaginous callus that is invaded by blood vessels bringing macrophages to clean up area. osteoclasts resorb damaged bone. fibroblasts, chondroblasts, and osteoblasts lay down tissue components to span the break
What is the third step of bone repair? 3. Conversion of the fibrocartilaginous callus into trabecular bone callus (2 months)
What is the fourth step of bone repair? 4. Bone remodeling to regain original shape by removal of any extra boney material and converting trabecular bone callus int original compact bone (few years)
What is osteoporosis, and what is it caused by? Bone resorption > Bone formation = porous bones Occurs mostly in neck of femur and spine Insufficient exercise, poor calcium/protein diet, abnormal vitamin D receptors, smoking, old age
What are the two types of cartilage cells? Chondroblasts: immature cartilage cells that actively form cartilage Chondrocytes: mature cartilage cells found in lacunae that maintain cartilage
What are the three types of cartilage? Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage
What is the composition of cartilage? Collagen fibers 80% water, no blood vessels Ground substance Glycosaminoglycans Chondroitin sulfate Hyaluronic acid Covered by perichondrium
Which is the most abundant type of cartilage, where is it found, and what does it do? Hyaline: found in embryonic skeleton, articular ends of long bones, epip. plates in children, costal cartilages of ribs, nose, trachea, and larynx. Provides support/cushioning during compressive stress
What does elastic cartilage allow for? Where is it found? found in the external ear and epiglottis. Like hyaline, but contains more elastic fibers to allow bending and return to original shape
Which cartilage is best at providing tensile strength/absorbing stress, and where is it found? Fibrocartilage - rows of alternating chondrocytes and collagen to produce structure between hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissue. Found in interverbal discs, pubic symphysis, and discs of knee joints where hyaline meets ligaments/tendons
