Long bones parts
- diaphysis with or without a medullary canal
- epiphyses
- metaphyses
- physeal cartilages
Long bones types
a. proper long bones (with a medullary canal)
b. long bones secondarily broadened, with a small medullary canal
c. elongated bones, with no medullary canal
six categories of bones
long, short, irregular, pneumatic, sessamoid, heterotopic
diaphysis
is the body or shaft of the proper long bones, centered by the medullary canal
epiphyses
are the extremities of the proper long bones
metaphyses
are the flared ends of the diaphysis, where calcified cartilage is replaced by bone
physeal cartilage
(physis) is the plate of growing and calcifying cartilage between the epiphysis and the metaphysis
bony tissue
consists of organic and inorganic substances and the matrix
Organic
- ground substance, which is in a continuous process of mineralization
- fibers (collagenous)
- cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts)
Inorganic
(mineral salts)
matrix of bone
ground substance + fibers + inorganic bone salts
The bony tissue is epresented by
-Compact (cortical) bone (in the diaphises and at the periphery of spongy bone)
-Spongy (trabecular, cancellous) bone (in the epiphyses and the rest of the bones)
-Diploe (the spongy tissue between two thin blades of compact bone)
osteoblasts
young bony cells that produce the matrix
protected by lacunae (connected by canaliculi)
mature into osteocyts
three kinds of lamellar systems
“interstitial”, between the osteons, “external”, at the periphery of bones under the periosteum, and “internal”, surrounding the medullary canal, under the endosteum. Between these lamellar systems the bones consist of osteons.
types of bone marrow
red, yellow, gray
red bone marrow
(hematogenous and osteogenous)
- the site of producing blood cells in adult animals
- fills the little cells of the spongy tissue
yellow bone marrow
soft, fatty substance filling the medullary canal of long bones in adult animals
gray bone marrow
(or gelatinous)
- normally in the bones of the skull
- in very old or cachectic animals in the long bones
intramembranous ossification
Osteoblasts begin to secrete the organic matrix, which gradually will be mineralized
Osteoblasts become osteocytes and are enclosed in the lacunae
The small pieces of bone are called “centers of ossification”; they expand in all directions joining each other forming “trabeculae” and becoming trabecular, spongy, or cancelous bone
When the whole mesenchyme is replaced by bone, the spongy bone becomes compact bone
The bone formation is accompanied by bone resorption, which is carried out by the osteoclasts
endochondral ossification
Primary center of ossification
- the perichondrium surrounding the cartilaginous model becomes periosteum
- the cartilage degenerates; the blood vessels from the periosteum and associated cells become the “periosteal bud” and then, the primary center of ossification
Secondary centers of ossification
- the centers of ossification of the epiphyses of the long bones are called secondary centers of ossification (the epiphyseal cartilage of the newborn is well supplied by blood - imbibition in adult)
Growth of bones
- in length (through the epiphyses)
- in width and circumference (through the periosteum)
mesenchyme
an embryonic connective tissue without fibers during early development, the embryonic tissue with great differentiating potential
Complementary/protecting and nurturing structures of bones
1. Articular cartilages (different when cover articular heads or cavities)

2. Periosteum
- superficial layer becoming the fibrous layer of the joint capsules
- deep layer, osteogenic, and anchored to the bone by arciform (Sharpey) fibers from the superficial layer; it stops at the periphery of articular cartilages

3. Endosteum
- a thin layer of lining cells at the periphery of medullary canal

4. Nurturing structures
Blood vessels
Nerves
(both penetrating the bone through nutrient foramina and running within the central canal of the osteons)
