Functions of the bone
*Supporting and protecting soft tissues
*Attachment site for muscles making movement possible.
*Storage for minerals, calcium & phosphate -- minerals homeostasis
*Blood cell production occurs in red bone marrow (hemopoiesis)
*Energy storage in yellow bone marrow
Diaphysis
Shaft of a long bone
Epiphysis
The end part of a long bone
metaphyses
areas between diaphysis and epiphysis and include the epiphyseal plate in growing bones.

Medullary cavity

Aka marrow cavity. Central cavity of bone shafts where red or yellow bone marrow (adipose tissue) is stored.

Articular cartilage
Over joint surfaces, act as friction reducer & shock absorber... hyaline cartilage that lacks perchondrium.
Periosteum
tough membrane covering the bone but not the cartilage.
-outer fibrous (dense irregular CT)
-inner osteogenic
Endosteum
lining of marrow cavity.
What provides bone's hardness?
inorganic mineral salts: hydroxyaptite (calcium phosphate & calcium hydroxide) & calcium carbonate
What provides bone's flexibility?
Collagen fibers
4 types of bone cells
osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, osteacytes, osteoclasts
osteogenic cells
undifferentiated, can devide to replace themselves and become osteoblasts. found in inner layer of periosteum and endosteum.
osteoblasts
form matrix & collagen fibers but can't devide.
osteocyte
mature cells that no longer secrete matrix. Maintains bone.
Osteoclasts
huge cells from fused monocytes (WBC). Function in bone resorption at surfaces such as endosteum.
Dense (Conpact) bone
Looks like solid hard layer. Makes up shaft of long bones and the external layer of all bones, resists stresses produced by weight and movement.
Spongy bone
Latticework of plates of bone called Trabeculae oriented along lines of stress. Spaces in between these struts are filled with red marrow where blood cells develop. Found in ends of long bones and inside flat bones such as hip bones, sternum, sides of skull, and ribs.
Red Bone Marrow
Fills space in spongy bone. Hemopoiesis.
Yellow Bone Marrow
Fat & adipocytes. In medullary cavity of long bones. Energy starage.
Periosteum arteries
supply periosteum
Nutrient arteries
Enter through nutrient foramen. Supplies compact bone of diaphysis & red marrow.
metaphyseal & epiphyseal Arteries
supply red marrow & bone tissue of epiphyses.
All embryonic CT begins as ______.
Mesenchyme
Bone formation is termed _____.
ossification or osteogenesis
What are the two types of ossification?
Intramembranous and endochondral
Intramembranous ossification
the formation of bone directly from or within fibrous connective tissue membranes. multiple ossification centers within the bone, builds flat bones. Mesenchyme differentiate into osteogenic cells. Developing period is only 2 years.
endochondral ossification
involves replacement of cartilage by bone and forms most of the bones of the body. (all bones except skull and clavicle, mostly long bones.) There are 2 ossification centers at epiphyses. Mesenchyme differentiates into hyaline cartilage. osteocytes form. Still developing to puberty.
Bone growth in length
epiphyseal plate or cartilage growth plate, cartilage cells are produced by mitosis on epiphyseal side of plate, cartilage cells are destroyed and replaced by bone on diaphyseal side of plate. between age 18 and 25 epiphyseal plates close.
Bone growth in width
periosteal cells differentiate into osteoblasts.
Factors affecting bone growth
*Nutrition (minerals, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin c) *Hormones hGH, thyroid and insulin
Remodeling
the ongoing replacement of old bone tissue with new bone tissue.
fractures
break in bone
closed treatment (of broken bone)
restore pieces to normal position by manipulation.
open reduction (of broken bone)
realignment during surgery
if blood calcium level decreases
*Parathyroid gland cells detect calcium concentration. *Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is secreted. *Osteoclast activity increased, kidney retains Ca+2 and produces calcitriol.
*increase is Ca+2 level/ return to homeostasis
If Ca+2 get too high
Calcitonin hormone is secreted from thyroid, inhibits osteoclast activity, increases bone formation by osteoblasts
Effects of aging on bone
demineralization & decreased rate of protein synthesis
Arthrology
Study of joints
synarthrosis
immovable joint
Amphiarthrosis
slightly movable joint
diarthrosis
freely movable joint
Fibrous joint
lack synovial cavity. Little or no movement. Sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses. bones held together by fibrous connective tissue (ensemble irregular = collagen)
Cartilaginous joints
Lacks a synovial cavity. Little or no movement. bones tightly connected by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage. Synchondroses (costal cartilage & epiphyseal plate) and symphyses (intervertebral discs and symphyses.)
synovial joints
Synovial cavity separates articulating bones. Freely movable. Articular cartilage (hyaline) covers bone, reduces friction, absorbs shock. Articular capsule surrounds joint. Outer = fibrous capsule called ligaments -thickened continuation of periosteum. Inner= Synovial membrane -inner lining of capsule.
synovial fluid
secretes from synovial membrane, contains hyaluronic acid. reduces friction, absorbs shock, supplies O2 and nutrients, removed CO2 and wastes, has phagocytic cells.
Sprain
stretch or tear to ligament
Strain
stretch or tear to muscle or tendon.
Bursae
fluid-filled saclike extensions of the joint capsule, reduces friction between moving structures.
Tendon sheaths
tubelike bursae that wrap around tendons at wrist and ankle.
Bursitis
chronic inflammation of bursa
Rheumatoid arthritis
autoimmune disorder, cartilage attacked, inflammation swelling and pain, final step is fusion of joint.
Osteoarthritis
degenerative joint disease- aging, wear and tear. Noninflammatory- no swelling, only cartilage is affected not synovial membrane. Deterioration of cartilage restrict movement. Pain upon awakening-- disappears with movement.
Gouty arthritis
Urate crystals build up in joints-- pain. inflammation. bone fuses. middle aged men with abnormal gene, joints of feet and at big toe.
Muscle tissue
cells that convert chemical energy (ATP) into mechanical energy.
Myology
Study of muscles.
Functions of muscle tissue
*producing movements *stabilizing body positions *regulating organ volumes -smooth muscle sphincters *Movements of substances within the body *producing heat
excitability
respond to chemicals released from nerve cells
conductivity
ability to propagate electrical signals over membrane
contractility
ability to shorten and generate force
extensibility
ability to be stretched without damaging the tissue
elasticity
ability to return to original shape after being stretched.
epimysium
CT that surrounds the whole muscle
perimysium
CT that surrounds bundles (fascicles)
endomysium
CT that separates individual muscle cells
Sarcolemma
cell membrane of a striated muscle cell.
T tubules
tiny invaginations of the sarcolemma that quickly spread the muscle action potential to all parts of the muscle fiber.
Sarcoplasm
cytoplasm. large amounts of glycogen for energy production. myoglobin for oxygen storage.
Sarcomere
the basic unit of contraction of skeletal muscle.
contractile protiens
myosin and actin
Regulatory proteins
troponin and tropomyosin
structural proteins which provide proper alignment, elasticity and extensibility
titin, myomesin, nebulin and dystophin
Tropomyosin
a regulatory protein that covers the actin binding sites preventing their union with myosin cross bridges.
Troponin
a regulatory protein that has 3 binding sites for tropoyosin, actin and Ca. When Ca combines with troponin, tropomyosin slips away from its blocking position between actin and myosin. then contraction can occur.
Crossbridge
when myosin reacts with actin
isotonic contraction
a load is moved. *Concentric contraction- a muscle shortens to produce force and movement. *Eccentric contractions- a muscle lengthens while maintaining force and movement.
Isometric contraction
No movement occurs. tension is generated without muscle shortening. *maintaining posture* & supports objects in a fixed position.

Slow oxidative

Muscle fiber (slow twitch) for maintaining posture & endurance type activities.

Oxidative glycolytic

Muscle fiber that splits ATP at a fast rate, used for walking and sprinting.

Fast glycolytic

Muscle fiber used for anaerobic movements for short duration, like weight lifting.

Smooth muscle

Lacks sarcomeres, muscle fibers contract and twist into a helix as it shortens. And relaxes by untwisting. Has no troponin, uses phosphorylation of myosin to bind to actin.

Atrophy

Decease. Caused by disuse. Or severing the nerve supply.

Hypertrophy

Increase in size. Resulting from forceful repetitive muscular activity and an increase from myofibrilis, SR & mitochondria.

Action potential or aka...

Nerve impulse

Site where motor nueron connects to skeletal muscle fiber is called

Nueromuscular junction
