|
Histological Organization of Mature Bone:
Compact bone - what are osteons? |
Mature compact bone is called osteon, in it are osteocytes that surround a central canal that contain the blood vessel supply for the osteon.
|
|
Histological Organization of Mature Bone:
Compact bone - name the three lamellae found in compact bone. |
Concentric (form rings around central canal), Interstitial (fill spaces b/w osteons) and circumferential (on bone surface)
|
|
Histological Organization of Mature Bone:
Spongy Bone (SB) - what's the primary diff b/w spongy and compact bone? |
The parallel lamellae form struts of thin, branching plates (trabeculae) in SB and there aren't any ostens in SB, nutrients delivered via diffusion
|
|

The Periosteum - define |
Covers the outer bone surface, consists of dense fibrous CT and osteoprogenitor cells.
|
|
Histological Organization of Mature Bone:
The Periosteum - functions? |
isolates and protects bone from tissue, provides a route and attachment site for circulatory and nervous supply, participates in bone growth and repair, attaches the bone to the CT network of deep fascia
|
|
Histological Organization of Mature Bone:
The Periosteum - you won't find it here... |
around sesamoid bones or at attachment sites for tendons, ligaments or joint capsules, or near articular cartilage of bone
|
|
Histological Organization of Mature Bone:
The Periosteum - so what happens to it around joints? |
Becomes continuous w/CT to stablize joint; or becomes part of the joint capsule in fluid filled joints
|
|
Histological Organization of Mature Bone:
The Endosteum - what is it? |
Found in the bone, a cellular endosteum lines the marrow cavity, contains osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, active during growth and repair; usually simple or incomplete epithelium
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
When does the skeleton begin to form in utero? |
6 weeks after fertilization
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
What is ossification? |
during embryonic development, either mesenchyme or cartilage is replaced by bone, this process of replacing other tissues with bone is ossification; two types.
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
What is calcification? |
The process in which calcium salts are deposited into a tissue; any tissue can be calcified, but only ossifcation reults in bone.
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Intramembraneous Ossification (definition) |
aka dermal ossification: when bone develops from mesenchyme or fibrous CT; begins in deep layers of dermis, when mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts w/in embryonic of fibrous CT, bones that result are dermal/membrane bones; eg. roofing bones in skull, jaw, clavicle
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Intramembraneous Ossification - Step One of the Process |
mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts that cluster and secrete matrix components that mineralizes; location of bone where this happens is the ossification center; as ossification proceeds, it traps some osteoblasts that become osteocytes.
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Intramembraneous Ossification - Step Two of the Process |
Bone grows outwrd in small struts called spicules, growth accelerates as blood vessels reach b/w the spicules
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Intramembraneous Ossification - Step Three of the Process |
Overtime, many ossification centers form and newly deposited bone becomes spongy bone. Continued deposition of bone via osteoblasts close to the blood vessels form compact bone.
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Endochondral Ossification: (definition) |
begins with the formation of hyaline cartilage model, eg. limb bones, the model cont to grow by expansion of the matrix
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Endochondral Ossification: Step 1 of the Process |
as the cartilage enlarges, chrondocytes by the shaft grow and the matrix calcifies
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Endochondral Ossification: Step 2 of the Process |
Cells differentiate into osteoblasts and the inner osteogenic layer produces a bone collar (a thin layer of bone around the shaft of cartilage)
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Endochondral Ossification: Step 3 of the Process |
Blood supply increases, calcified matrix breaks down and is replaced by spongy bone.
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Endochondral Ossification: Step 4 of the Process |
Entire diaphysis is filled with spongy bone, as it enlarges a marrow cavity forms
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Endochondral Ossification: Step 5 of the Process |
Marks beg of inc length of bone; Center of epiphyses calcify, capillaries and osteoblasts migrate to these areas creating secondary ossification centers
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Endochondral Ossification: Step 6 of the Process |
Epiphyses fill with spongy bone, articular cartilage forms, epiphyseal cartilage now sep the epi from the diaphysis
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Endochondral Ossification: Step 7 of the Process |
Epiphyseal cartliage production slows and rate osteoblast production accelerates at maturity causing the epiphyseal cartilage to become narrow until it disappears, called epiphyseal closure.
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Endochondral Ossification: Increasing Bone Diameter |
Diameter enlarges via appositional growth at the outer surface, where osteoprogenitor cells add bone matrix, thus adding successive layers of circumferential lamellae.
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Endochondral Ossification: Increasing Bone Diameter Process |
new bone deposited in ridges by blood vessels @ bone surface, ridges enlarge and grow toward eachother until they meet and fuse, cells differentiate and form new bone; as bone diam. grows, so does the marrow cavity
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Formation of blood and lymphatic supply |
bones formed thru endochondral ossification have 4 sets of vessels: nutrient, metaphyseal, epipyhseal and periosteal; lymphatic vessels enter osteons via canals
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Bone Innervation- |
Sensory nerve endings branch the periosteum and sensory nerve penetrate the cortex w/nutirent arteries to innervate the endosteum, marrow cavity and epipyhses.
|
|
Define epiphysis:
|
The rounded end of a long bone.
|
|
Bone Development and Growth:
Factora Reg. Bone growth |
nutrients, parathyroid homone that stimulates osteoclast and blast activity, calcitonin that inhibits osteoclas activity and inc Ca loss, epi. cartilage closure.
|
