Osteoblast
|
Makes bone
|
|
Osteoclast
|
Brakes bone down
|
|
Extracellular Matrix
|
2/3 Calcium; 1/3 Collagen
Compressive & Tensile strength (ie. Hard yet not brittle) |
|
Compact bone
|
on the outside Hard, protective, outer shell
|
|
Spongy bone
|
on the inside resembles scaffolding that run along the lines of stress, Trabeculae
|
|
articular cartilage
|
resilient, semirigid form of connective tissue that forms parts of the skeleton where more flexibility is required.
Blood vessels do not enter cartilage, consequently, its cells obtain oxygen and nutrients by diffusion. |
|
periosteum
|
A fibrous connective tissue covering that surrounds each skeletal element like a sleeve, except where articular cartilage occurs. capable of laying down more cartilage or
bone provide the interface for attachment of tendons and ligaments. |
|
perichondrium
|
A fibrous connective tissue covering that surrounds cartilage. capable of laying down more cartilage or
bone provide the interface for attachment of tendons and ligaments. |
|
medullary cavity
|
yellow
(fatty) or red (blood cell and platelet forming) bone marrow— or a combination of both—is found. |
|
Bone markings
|
appear wherever tendons, ligaments, and
fascias are attached or where arteries lie adjacent to or enter bones. |
|
intramembraneous ossification
|
mesenchymal bone models are formed during
the embryonic and prenatal periods |
|
endochondral
ossification |
cartilage models are formed during
the fetal period, with bone subsequently replacing most of the cartilage after birth. |
|
primary ossification
center |
bone tissue it forms replaces
most of the cartilage in the main body of the bone model |
|
diaphysis
|
The
shaft of a bone ossified from the primary ossification which grows as the bone develops |
|
secondary ossification centers
|
appear in other
parts of the developing bone after birth |
|
epiphyses
|
parts of a bone
ossified from secondary ossification centers |
|
Development and growth of a long bone
|
|
|
nutrient artery
|
arise as independent branches of adjacent arteries outside the periosteum and pass obliquely through the compact bone of the shaft of a long bone via nutrient foramina divides in the medullary cavity into longitudinal branches that proceed toward each end, supplying the bone marrow, spongy bone, and deeper portions of the compact bone
|
|
How is compact bone nourished?
|
many small branches from the periosteal arteries of
the periosteum are responsible for nourishment of most of the compact bone. |
|
How are the ends of the bone nourished?
|
The ends of the
bones are supplied by metaphysial and epiphysial arteries that arise mainly from the arteries that supply the joints. |
|
Nerve supply of bones?
|
Nerves accompany blood vessels supplying bones. The
periosteum is richly supplied with sensory nerves—periosteal nerves—that carry pain fibers. The periosteum is especially sensitive to tearing or tension, which explains the acute pain from bone fractures. Bone itself is relatively sparsely supplied with sensory endings. Within bones, vasomotor nerves cause constriction or dilation of blood vessels, regulating blood flow through the bone marrow. |
|
Long bones
|
are tubular (e.g., the humerus in the arm).
|
|
Short bones
|
are cuboidal and are found only in the tarsus
(ankle) and carpus (wrist). |
|
Flat bones
|
usually serve protective functions (e.g., the flat
bones of the cranium protect the brain). |
|
Irregular bones
|
have various shapes other than long, short,
or flat (e.g., bones of the face). |
|
Sesamoid bones
|
(e.g., the patella or knee cap) develop in
certain tendons and are found where tendons cross the ends of long bones in the limbs; they protect the tendons from excessive wear and often change the angle of the tendons as they pass to their attachments. |
