What is connective tissue in which the matrix is hardened by calciumphosphate and other minerals
Bone or osseous tissue
What is the shaft of the bone called (also called the body)?
diaphysis
What is the end of the bone called?
Epiphysis
What covers the ends of moveable bones?
Articular (Hyaline) cartilage
What is the Periosteum
A fibrous membrane that covers the outer portion of a bone, tendons attach here, highly innervated.
What is the medullary (marrow) cavity?
The space inside the bone that contains marrow
What is the endosteum?
the lining of the medullary cavity
What is the area that contains hyaline cartilage in growing bone, and is the area that causes bones to elongate. It also becomes ossified (bone) in adults?
The epiphyseal plate (growth plate)
What times of cells are found in the bones? (4)
Osteogenic Cell
Osteoblast
Osteocyte
Osteoclast
What is a stem cell that differentiates to become an osteoblast?
Osteogenic cells
What are cells that lay down collagen fibers and matrix to form bones?
Osteoblasts
What the cells called that are mature osteoblast, bone cells, that sense the various stressors on bone?
osteocytes
What are osteoclasts?
bone dissolving cells
What are matrix's made out of?
Mostly Hydroxyapatite, a calcium phosphate salt, and some calscium carbonate. The organic portion is mostly collagen.
What is compact bone?
Densely packed bone, usually located in the outer diaphysis
What is the basic structural unit of the compact bone? Also known as the Haversian System?
Osteon
What 5 things make up the basic structural unit of compact bone? (osteon)
-central (haversian) canal
-concentric lamella
-lacuna
-canaliculli
-perforating (volkmann) canal
What is located at the center of the osteon and contains the vessles and nerves?
Central (haversian) canal
What are the concentric layer of matrix that surround the central canal?
concentric lamellae
What is the space that houses a osteocyte?
Lacuna
What are tiny canals that connect lacuna?
canaliculi
what are channels that contain vessels and nerves, connect adjacent osteons and osteons to the outer surface of bone?
Perforating (Volkmann) canals.
What is the loosely packed bone called that is usually found inside of the epiphysis?
spongy bone
What are thin plates of calcified tissue that provide a lattice appearance to spongy bone?
trabeculae
What are the two types of Bone Marrow?
Red bone marrow and Yellow bone marrow
What kind of bone marrow is homopoietic tissue which produces formed elements of the blood, ex: RBC, WBC, Platelets
Red Bone Marrow
What kind of bone marrow is adipose tissue and is not hematopoietic?
Yellow Bone Marrow
What is the formation of bone called?
Ossification or Osteogenesis
What are the two methods of bone development (ossification?)
Intramembranous Ossification and endochondral ossification
What method of ossification produces flat bones (skull, clavicle) and the bone develops from membrane?
Intramembranous Ossification.
What method of ossicication produces most of the bones and is the process at which hyyaline cartilage matrix is laid down initially, then ossification occurs replacing this cartilage.
Endochondral Ossification
Remodeling
The change of the size and shape of bones to accommodate the changing forces applied to the skeleton. (Ex. Those who sit or stand a lot, there body will add more bone tissue in your low body to support you. )
Interstitial growth
Adding matrix. When this occurs in the hyaline cartilage of the epiphyseal plate, the bone grows in length.
Appositional growth
deposition onto the surface of bone. Increases the diameter of a bone.
What is the normal range of blood calcium? (homeostatic level)
9.2-10.4 mg/dl
Hypocalcemia
low blood calcium, muscle is unable to relax, tetany
Hypercalcemia
high blood calcium, nerves and muscles are slow to correspond; weakness, sluggish reflexes, poss. cardioarrest.
What is a form of vitamin D that is stimulated by absorption of UV light?
Calcitrol
Calcitriol works with the thyroid hromone and raises blood calcium by these three things.
-Increasing absorption in the small intestine
-stimulates calcium removal from bones (osteoclast)
-Causing the kidney to retain calcium in the blood.
Hormone regulation includes 3 things
Calcitriol, Calcitonin, and Parathroid hormone PTH.
What is released by the thyroid gland during hypercalcemia and is a hormone that lowers calcum levels in the body by:
a.) inhibiting osteoclast.
b.) stimulate osteoblast (places calcium in to the bone.)
Calcitonin
What is released by the Parathyroid glands and is a hormone that raises the blood calcium level by:
-stimulating osteoclast
-causing the kidneys to retain calcium in the blood
-stimulates the production of calcitriol
-decreases osteoblast activity
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
What are two Bone disorders?
Fracture and Osteoporosis
What is a fracture?
Any disruption in the continuity (normal) of a bone.
What are the steps associated with fracture repair?
-hematoma forms around fracture site.
-Granulation tissue forms
-Callus formation
-Remodeling
What is it called when a hematoma becomes infiltrated with capilaries, fibroblasts, macrophages, oseoclasts, and osteogenic cells during fracture repair?
Granulation tissue forms
What is it called when fibroblasts lay down collagen, "soft callus" is formed which is made up of fibrocartilage?
Callus formation
What is remodeling?
When bone tissue is laid down replacing cartilage, this froms they bony callus.
-Initially spongy bone is laid down, the outer portion of the bone is converted (remodeled) into compact (cortical) bone.
What is the bone disorder that results in loss of bone mass, making the bones more susceptible to fracture and is associated with aging.
Osteoporosis.
