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.
