|
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

|
OSTEOGENIC CELLS

|
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 |

|
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

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 |

mass of blood formed around the site of the fracture;

|
|
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 |
