FUNCTIONS OF BONE

5. blood cell production (hemopoiesis)
6. triglyceride storage
STRUCTURE OF LONG BONE
1. diaphysis
2. epiphyses
3. metaphyses
4. articular cartilage
5. periosteum
6. medullary cavity
7. ENDOSTEUM
DIAPHYSES
- bone' shaft or body
EPIPHYSES
- proximal and distal ends of the bone
METAPHYSES
- between diaphysis and epiphysis; in a growing bone contains an epiphyseal plate (allows the diaphysis to grow in length)
ARTICULAR CARTILAGE
- covers the part of the epiphysis where the bone forms an articulation (joint) with another bone
- recues friction and absorb shock at freely movable joints
PERIOSTEUM
- tough connective tissue sheath and its associate blood supply
- surround the bond surface whenever it is not covered by articular cartilage
-may enable to grow in thickness
- protects bone, assists in fracture repair, nourish bone tissue, attachment point for ligaments and tendons
MEDULLARY CAVITY
- within the diaphysis
- contains fatty yellow bone marrow and blood vessels
- minimises the weight of the bone
ENDOSTEUM
lines the medullary cavity
CALCIFICATION
formed crystals they combine with other mineral salts and ions -> deposited in the framework formed by the collagen fibers of the extracellular matrix they cristalize and the tissue hardens
CELLS IN BONE TISSUE
1. osteogenic cells
2. osteoblasts
3. osteocytes
4. osteoclasts
OSTEOGENIC CELLS
- unspecialised bone stem cells derived from mesenchyme
- go cell division! the resulting cells develop into osteoblasts
OSTEOBLASTS
synthesise and secrete collagen and other organic components needed to build the extracellular matrix of bone tissue
Build bone
as they surround themselves with extracellular matrix they form osteocytes
OSTEOCYTES
mature bone cells
maintain metabolism
OSTEOCLASTS
concentrated in the endosteum
RESORPTION - the breakdown of bone extracellular matrix (development, maintenance, repair of bone)
Curve out bone
COMPACT BONE TISSUE
the strongest form
found beneath the periosteum and make up the bulk of the diaphyses of long bones
Protection and support and resist stresses
Composed of osteons
The lines of stress can change in response to the physical demands placed on the skeleton
INTERSTITIAL LAMELLAE
fragments of older osteons that have been partially destroyed during bone rebuilding and growth
VOLKMANN'S CANALS
blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves from periosteum penetrate the compact bone through Volkmann's canals
SPONGY BONE TISSUE
no osteons
in the interior of a bone
Protected by covering of compact bone
Where bones are not heavily stressed or where stresses are applied from many directions
TRABECULAE
lamellae arranged in an irregular pattern of thin columns in spongy bone tissue
Final arrangement when location is learned
BLOOD AND NERVE SUPPLY OF BONE
1. periosteal arteries in and veins out
2. metaphyseal arteries in and veins out
3. epiphyseal arteries in and veins out
PERIOSTEAL ARTERIES
enter the diaphysis through many Volkmann's canals
Supply the periosteum and outer part of the compact bone
METAPHYSEAL ARTERIES
enter the metaphyses of a long bone
Supply the red bone marrow and bone tissue of the metaphyses
EPIPHYSEAL ARTERIES
enter the epiphyses of a long bone
Supply the red bone marrow and bone tissue of the epiphyses
OSSIFICATION
a process in which a bone is formed
BONE FORMATION IN AN EMBRYO AND FETUS
1. intramembranous ossification
2. endochondral ossification
INTRAMEMBRANOUS OSSIFICATION
flat bones of the skull, facial bones, medial part of the clavicle,

Involves the formation of bone within mesenchyme arranged in sheetlike layers that resemble membranes
ENDOCHONDRAL OSSIFICATION
the replacement of cartilage by bone
BONE GROWTH DURING INFANCY CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE
1. in length
2. in thickness
GRWOTH IN LENGTH
1. interstitial growth of cartilage on the epiphyseal side of the epiphyseal plate
2. Replacement of cartilage on the diaphyseal side of the epiphyseal plate with bone by endochondral ossification
EPIPHYSEAL PLATE
layer of hyaline cartilage in the metaphysis of a growing bone
4 ZONES OF EPIPHYSEAL PLATE
1. resting cartilage
2. proliferating cartilage
3. hypertrophic cartilage
4. calcified cartilage
RESTING CARTILAGE
does not function in bone growth
Anchor the epiphyseal plate to the epiphysis of the bone
PROLIFERATING CARTILAGE
chondrocytes undergo interstitial growth as they divide and secrete extracellular matrix
Chondrocytes divide to replace those that die at the diaphyseal side of the epiphyseal plate
HYPERTROPHIC CARTILAGE
maturing chondrocytes arranged in columns
CALCIFIED CARTILAGE
dead chondrocytes
calcified extracellular matrix
Osteoclasts dissolve the calcified cartilage and osteoblasts and capillaries from the diaphysis invade the area
EPIPHYSEAL LINE
when epiphyseal plate fades
Bony structure - formed when adolescence comes to an end
GROWTH IN THICKNESS
only by appositional growth
1. bone ridges on either side of a periosteal blood vessel
2. ridges fold together and fuse; tunnel that encloses blood vessel lined by the endosteum
3. the tunnel fills in - new osteon is created
4. osteoblasts deposit new circumferential lamellae and so on.....
REMODELLING OF BONE
ongoing replacement of old bone tissue by new bone tissue
BONE RESORPTION
removal of minerals and collagen fibers from bone by osteoclasts

Results in the destruction of bone extracellular matrix
BONE DEPOSITION
addition of minerals of collagen fibers to bone by osteoblasts
Results in the formation of bone extracellular matrix
PAGET'S DISEASE
excessive proliferation of osteoclasts
FACTORS AFFECTING BONE GROWTH AND REMODELLING
1. minerals
2. Vitamins
3. hormones
MINERALS FOR BONES
calcium and phosphorous and small magnesium, fluoride, and manganese for growth and remodelling
VITAMINS FOR BONES
A stimulates activity of osteoblasts
C synthesis of collagen
D building bone; increases the absorption of calcium
K and B12 synthesis of bone proteins
HORMONES
IGF - produced by liver and bone tissue (childhood); stimulates osteoblasts , promote cell division and synthesis of the proteins needed to build new bone

Thyroid hormones - stimulates osteoblasts

Insulin - increase the synthesis of bone proteins

FRACTURE HEMATOMA
mass of blood formed around the site of the fracture;
Nearby cells die and debris cause inflammation
FIBROCARTILAGINOUS CALLUS FORMATION
a mass of repair tissue consisting of collagen fibers and cartilage that bridges the broken ends of the bone
BONY CALLUS
converted spongy bone from the fibrocartilage
CALCIUM HOMEOSTASIS
Ca2+ is regulated by hormones (mimp PTH)
PTH acts on kidneys to decrease loss of Ca in the urine and stimulates formation of calcitriol - hormone that promotes absorption of Ca

Calcitonin (CT) - inhibits activity of osteoclasts speeds blood Ca uptake by bone and accelerates Ca deposition into bones
