four classifications of bones?
Long bones
Short bones
Flat bones
Irregular bones
Function of bones?
Support
Protection
Movement
Mineral storage
Blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)
Structure of long bones
Periosteum - double layered protection membrane. Outer fibrous layer is dense irregular connective tissue. Inner osterogenic layer is composed of osteoblast/clast

Endosteum - delicate membrane covering internal surfaces of bone
Structure of short, irregular, and flat bones?
Thin plates of Periosteum covered compact bone on outside with endosteum covered spongy bone inside

No diaphysis or epiphyses

Contains bone marrow between trabeculae
Location of red marrow
Infants - in medullary cavity and all spongy bone

Adults - in spongy bone of flat bones, and head of femur and humerus
Organic materials of bone
Osteoblasts - bone-forming cells

Osteocytes - mature bone cells

Osteoclasts - large cells that reabsorb or break down bone matrix
Osteoid - unmineralized bone matrix composed of proteoglycans, glycoprotens, and collagen
Inorganic materials of bone?
Hydroxypatites (mineral salts)

Mainly calcium phosphates

Responsible for bone hardness and compressional strength
Osteogenesis and ossification
Process of bone tissue formation
Intramembranous ossification?
bone develops from a fibrous membrane
Endochondral ossification?
bones form by replacing hyaline cartilage
Long bone growth and remodeling
Growth in length - cartilage continually grows and is replaced by bone

Remodeling - bone is reabsorbed and added by appositional growth
Hormonal regulation of bone growth during youth
epiphyseal plate activity is stimulated by growth hormone.

testosterone and estrogen:
initially promote growth spurts
cause masculination and feminization of skeleton
later induce epiphyseal plate closure, ending longitude bone growth
bone deposition
Occurs when bone is injured or added strength is needed

requires a diet rich in protein, vitamins C D A, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and manganese

alkaline phosphates are essential for mineralization of bone
controls of bone remodeling
Hormonal mechanism maintains calcium homeostasis in blood

mechanical and gravitational forces acting on skeleton
Calcium is necessary for -
Transmission of nerve impulses
Muscle contraction
Blood coagulation
Secretion by glands and nerve s
Cell division
Osteomacia
Bones are inadequately mineralized causing softened, and weakened bones
Rickets
bones of children are inadequately mineralized causing softened and weakened bones
Osteoporosis
Group of diseases in which bone reabsorption outpaces bone desposit. causes brittle bones.
Vitamins C, A, K, and B12
C is for collagen synthesis
A stimulates osteoblast activity
K and B12 help synthesize bone proteins
growth hormone and thyroxine
stimulates bone growth
Estrogens and androgens
stimulate osteoblasts
Calcitonin and parathyroid hormone
regulate calcium and phosphate levels
skeletal cartilage
no blood vessels or nerves
surrounded by perichondrium (dense irregular connective tissue)

three types - hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
hyaline cartilage
support, flexibility, and resilience

present as articular cartilage covering long bone ends
elastic cartilage
similar to hyaline but contains elastic fibers
fibrocartilage
highly compressed with great tensile strength

contains collagen fibers
