How much weight does bone tissue makeup?

18 percent of the human body

how does the skeleton support the human body?

The skeleton serves as a structural framework for the body by supporting soft tissues and providing attachment points for tendons of both skeletal muscles

how does the skeleton provide protection to the human body?

The skeleton protects the most important internal organs from injury. For example, cranial bones protect the brain, vertebrae protect the spinal cord, and the rib cage protects the heart and lungs

How does the skeleton provide assistance in movement?

most skeletal muscles attached to bones, when they can tract, they pull on bones to produce movement

How does the skeleton provide mineral homeostasis?

Bone tissues store several minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus, which contribute to the strength of bone. Bone tissues store is about 99% of the body's calcium. on demand, phone releases minerals into the blood to maintain critical mineral balances , homeostasis, and to distribute the minerals to other parts of the body.

How does the skeleton help in blood cell production?

Within certain phones, a connective tissue called red bone marrow produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets aunt, a process called hemopoiesis. red bone marrow consists of developing blood cells, adipocytes, fibroblasts, and macrophages within a network of reticular fibers. It is present in developing bones of the fetus and in some adult bones, such as the hip bones, red, sternum, vertebrae, school, and ends of the bones of the humerus and fever. & a newborn, all the marrow is red and is involved in hemopoiesis. with increasing age, much of the bone marrow changes from red to yellow.

What role does the skeleton play in triglyceride storage?

Yellow bone marrow consists mainly of adipose cells, which store triglycerides. The stored triglycerides are a potential chemical energy reserve.

Diaphysis - long bone

The bone's shaft or body, the long, cylindrical, main portion of the bone

Epiphyses - long bone

The proximal and distal ends of the bone

metaphyses - long bone

The regions between the diaphysis and the epiphyses. In a growing bone, each metaphyses contains an epiphyseal plate, a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis of the bone to grow in length. when a bone pieces to grow in length and about ages 18 to 21, the cartilage in after this your epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone, the resulting bony structure is known as the epiphyseal line.

What role does articular cartilage play in long bone?

It is a thin layer of hyaline cartilage covering the part of the epiphyses where the bone forms an articulation or joint with another bone. Articular cartilage reduces friction and absorbs shock freely movable joints. Because articular cartilage lacks a perichondrium and lacks blood vessels, repair of damage is limited

what role does the periosteum play in long bone?

It is the tough connective tissue sheath and its associated blood supply that surrounds the bone surface wherever it is not covered by articular cartilage. It is composed of an outer fibrous layer of dense irregular connective tissue and an inner osteogenic layer that consists of cells. Some of the cells enabled bone to grow in thickness, but not in length. The periosteum also protects the bone, assist in fracture repair, helps nourish bone tissue, and served as an attachment point for ligaments and tendons. The periosteum is attached to the underlying bone by perforating fibers, or Sharpey's fibers, thick bundles of collagen that extend from the periosteum into the bone extracellular matrix.

What role does the medullary cavity play in long bone?

Also called the marrow cavity, it is a hollow, cylindrical space within the diaphysis that contains fatty yellow bone marrow and numerous blood vessels in adults. This cavity minimizes the weight of the bone by reducing the dense pony material where it is least need it. The long bones tubular design provides maximum strength with minimum weight.

What role does the endosteum play and long bone ?

It is a thin membrane that lines the medullary cavity. It contains a single layer of bone forming cells and a small amount of connective tissue.

What kind of bone marrow does the medullary cavity contain?

The medullary cavity of the diaphysis contains yellow bone marrow an adult

What are the six functions of bone tissue?

1. Support soft tissue and provides attachment for skeletal muscles


2. Protects internal organ


3. Assist in movement, along with skeletal muscle


4. Stores and releases minerals


5. Contains red bone marrow, which produces blood cells


6. Contains yellow bone marrow, which stores triglycerides

Osteogenic cells

Unspecialized bone stem cells derived from mesenchyme, the kiss you from which almost all connective tissues are formed. They are the only bone cells to undergo cell division, the resulting cells develop into osteoblasts. Osteogenic cells are found along the inner portion of the periosteum, in the endosteum, and in the canals with in the bone that contains blood vessels.

Osteoblast

These are bone building cells. They synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and other organic components needed to build the extracellular matrix of bone tissue, and they initiate calcification. As osteoblast surround themselves with extracellular matrix, they become trapped in their secretions and become osteocytes

Osteocytes

Mature bone cells, are the main cells in bone tissue and maintain its daily metabolism, such as the exchange of nutrients and wastes with the blood. Like osteoblasts, osteocytes do not undergo cell division

Osteoclasts

These are huge cells derived from the fusion of as many as 50 monocytes, a type of white blood cell, and are concentrated in the endosteum. on the side of the cell that faces the bone surface, the osteoclast's plasma membrane is deeply folded into a ruffled border. Here the cell releases powerful lysosomal enzymes and acids to digest the protein in mineral components of the underlying extracellular bone matrix.

Resorption

Be part of the normal development, maintenance, and repair of bone

Compact bone tissue

Contains few spaces and is the strongest form of bone tissue. It is found beneath the periosteum of all bones and makes up the bulk of the diaphyses of long bone. Compact bone tissue provides protection and support and resists the stresses produced by weight and movement

Osteons or Haversian system

Compact bone tissue is composed of these repeating structural units. Each osteon consists of concentric lamellae arranged around a central Haversian canal. resembling the gross rings of a tree, the concentric lamellae are circular plates of mineralized extracellular matrix of increasing diameter, surrounding a small network of blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves located in the central canal. These tubelike unit of bone generally form a series of parallel cylinders that, in long bones, tend to run parallel to the long axis of the bone.

Lacunae

Between the concentric lamellae are small spaces called lacunae , which contain osteocyte

Canaliculi

Tiny structures that radiate in all directions from the lacunae , they are filled with extracellular fluid. Inside the canaliculi are slender fingerlike processes of osteocytes period neighboring osteocytes communicate via gap junctions. The canaliculi connect lacunae with one another and with the central canals, for me an intricate, miniature system of interconnected canals throughout the bone. This system provides many routes for nutrients and oxygen to reach the osteocytes and for the removal of waste.

interstitial lamellae

The area between neighboring osteons, nice also have lacunae with osteocytes in canaliculi. Interstitial lamellae are fragments of older osteons that have been partially destroyed during bone rebuilding or growth.

Perforating canals

Canal that allow blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves from the periosteum to penetrate the compact bone. The vessels and nerves of the perforating canals connect with those of the medullary cavity, periosteum, and central canal

Circumferential lamellae

Lamellae that are arranged around the entire outer and inner circumference of the shaft of a long bone. They developed during initial bone formation. - circumferential lamellae directly to the periosteum are called outer circumferential lamellae. they are connected to the periosteum by perforating sharpies fibers. The circumferential lamellae that lines the medullary cavity are called inner circumferential lamellae

Spongy bone tissue

Trabecular or cancellous bone tissue, does not contain osteon. Spongy bone tissue is always located in the interior of a bone, protected by a covering of compact bone.

Trabeculae

The arrangement of lamellae in a irregular pattern of thin columns and make up spongy bone tissue

What is in between the trabeculae?

Spaces that are visible to the unaided eye, they are filled with red bone marrow in bones that produces blood cells, and yellow bone marrow in other bones. Both types of bone marrow contain numerous small blood vessels that provide nourishment to the osteocyte. Each trabeculae consist of concentric lamellae, osteocytes that lie in lacunae, and canaliculi that radiate outward from the lacunae

Name two ways that spongy bone tissue and compact bone tissue are different

1. Spongy bone tissue is light, which reduces the overall weight of a bone. This reduction in weight allows the bone to move more readily when pulled by skeletal muscle.


2. The trabeculae of spongy bone tissue support and protect red bone marrow. Spongy bone in the hip bone, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, and the proximal end of the humerus and femur is the only site where red bone marrow is stored and, thus, this site where hemopoiesis occurs in adults

periosteal arteries

Small arteries accompanied by nerves, enter the diaphysis through many perforating canals and supply the periosteum and outer part of the compact bone

Nutrient artery

It is located near the center of the diaphysis and passes through a hole in the compact bone called the nutrient foramen. on entering the medullary cavity, the nutrient artery divided into proximal and distal branches that course towards each end of the bone. These branches supply both the inner part of compact bone tissue of the diaphysis and a spongy bone tissue and red bone marrow as far as the epiphyseal plates.

Metaphyseal arteries

Supply the ends of long bones and arise from the arteries that supply the associated joint. enter the metaphysis of a long bone and together with the nutrient artery, supply the red bone marrow and bone tissue to the metaphysis.

Epiphyseal arteries

Supplied the end of long bones and arise from arteries that supply the associated joint. These enter the at the epiphysis of a long bone is supplied the red bone marrow and bone tissue epiphyses

What are the three types of veins that carry blood away from long bones?

1. One or two nutrient veins on company the nutrient artery and exit through the diaphysis


2. Numerous epiphyseal veins and metaphyseal veins accompany their respective arteries and exit through the epiphyses


3. Many small periosteum veins accompany their respective artery and exit through the periosteum

Ossification or osteogenesis

The process by which bones form. Bone formation occurs in four principal situations -


1. The initial formation of bones in an embryo and fetus


2. The growth of bones during infancy, childhood, and adolescence until their adult sizes are reached


3. The remodeling of bone


4. The repair of fractures throughout life

Intramembranous ossification

bone forms directly within mesenchyme , which is arranged in sheet like layers that resemble membranes

Endochondral ossification

bone forms within hyaline cartilage that develops from mesenchyme

Describe the development of the ossification center in the intramembranous ossification process.

At the site where the bone will develop, specific chemical messages cause the mesenchymal cells to cluster together and differentiate, first into osteogenic cells and then into osteoblasts. The sight of such a cluster is called ossification center. Osteoblasts secrete the organic extracellular matrix of bone until they are surrounded by it.

Describe the calcification process in intramembranous ossification.

Next the secretion of the extracellular matrix tops, and the cells, now called osteocyte, lie in lancunae and extend their narrow cytoplasmic processes into canaliculi that radiates in all directions. Within a few days, calcium and other mineral salts are deposited in the extracellular matrix hardens or calcifies

Describe the formation of trabeculae in intramembranous ossification.

As the bone extracellular matrix forms, it develops into trabeculae that fuse with one another to form spongy bone around the network of blood vessels in the tissue. Connective tissue that is associated with the blood vessels in the trabecule differentiates into red bone marrow

Describe the development of the periosteum in intramembranous ossification.

In conjunction with the formation of trabeculae, the mesenchyme condenses at the periphery of the bone and develops into the periosteum. Eventually, a thin layer of compact bone replaces the surface layers of the spongy bone, but spongy bone remains in the center. Much of the newly-formed bone is remodeled comet destroyed and reformed, as the bone is transformed into its adult size and shape.

Describe the development of the cartilage model and endochondral ossification.

At the site where the bone is going to form, specific chemical messages cause the mesenchymal cells to crowd together in general shape of a future bone, and then develop into chondroblasts. The chondroblasts secrete cartilage extracellular matrix, producing a cartilage model consisting of hyaline cartilage. A covering called me perichondrium develops around the cartilage model.

describe the growth of the cartilage model and endochondral ossification.

Once chondroblasts become deeply buried in the cartilage extracellular matrix, they are called chondrocytes. The cartilage model grows in length by continual cell division of chondrocytes, accompanied by further secretion of the cartilage extracellular matrix. This type of gross, called interstitial growth, results in an increase in length. In contrast growth of the cartilage in thickness is due mainly to the deposition of extracellular material on the cartilage surface of the model by new chondroblasts that developed from the perichondrium.

Oppositional, or exogenous, growth

Growth of the cartilage in thickness due mainly to the deposition of extracellular matrix material on the cartilage surface of the model by new chondroblasts develop from the perichondrium

Describe the development of the primary ossification center in endochondral ossification.

Primary ossification precedes any word from the external surface of the bone. A nutrient are very penetrate the perichondrium calcifying cartilage model through a nutrient for a min in the middle region of the cartilage model , stimulating osteogenic cells in the perichondrium to differentiate into osteoblasts. Once the perichondrium starts to form the phone, it is known as the periosteum. Near the middle of the model, periosteal capillaries grow into the disintegrating calcified cartilage inducing gross of a primary off vacation center, a region where bone tissue will replace most of the cartilage. Osteoblast then begin to deposit bone extracellular matrix over the remnants of calcified cartilage, forming spongy bone trabeculae. primary ossification spreads from central location towards both ends of the cartilage model

Describe the development of the medullary cavity in endochondral ossification.

as the primary off vacation center growth toward the end of the bone, osteoclasts break down some of the newly-formed spongy bone trabeculae. This activity we have a cavity, the medullary cavity, and the diaphysis. Eventually most of the wall of the diaphysis is replaced by compact bone

Describe the development of the secondary ossification centers in endochondral ossification.

when branches of the epiphyseal artery enter the epiphyses, secondary ossification centers develop, usually around the time of birth. Bone formation is similar to what occurs and primary off vacations centres. However the secondary ossification center is spongy bone remains in the interior of the epiphyses. in contrast to primary ossification, secondary ossification Christine outward from the center of the epiphysis toward the outer surface of the bone.

describe the formation of articular cartilage and the epiphyseal growth plate in endochondral ossification.

The hyaline cartilage that covers the epiphyses becomes the articular cartilage. Prior to adulthood, hyaline cartilage remains between the diaphysis and epiphysis as the epiphyseal plate, the region responsible for the lengthwise growth of long bones

What are the two major events in the growth of long bones lengthwise?

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

What are the 4 zones of the epiphyseal plate?

1. Zone of resting cartilage


2. Zone of proliferating cartilage


3. Zone of hypertrophic cartilage


4. Zone of calcified cartilage

Zone of resting cartilage

This player is nearest the epiphysis and consists of small, scattered chondrocytes. The term, resting, is used because the cells do not function in bone growth. Rather, the anchor the epiphyseal plate to the epiphysis of the bone.

Zone of proliferating cartilage

Slightly larger chondrocytes in this zone our range like stacks of coins. These chondrocytes undergo interstitial growth as they divided into create extracellular matrix. The chondrocytes in this zone divide to replace those that died at that diaphyseal side of the epiphyseal plate.

Zone of hypertrophic cartilage

This layer consists of large, maturing chondrocytes arranged in columns.

Zone of calcified cartilage

The final zone of the eposide seal plate is only a few cells thick and consists mostly of chondrocytes that are dead because the extracellular killer matrix around then have calcified. Osteoclast dissolve the calcified cartilage, and osteoblasts and capillaries from the diaphysis invade the area. The osteoblasts way down bone extracellular matrix, replacing the calcified cartilage by the process of endochondral ossification. Recall that endochondral ossification is the replacement of cartilage with bone. As a result, the zone of calcified cartilage becomes the new diaphysis that is firmly cemented to the rest of the diaphysis of the bone.

epiphyseal line

When epiphyseal cartilage stops dividing and bone replaces all remaining cartilage the epiphyseal plate fades, leaving a bony structure

Fracture

Any break in a bone. Fractures are named according to their severity, the shape or position of the fraction line, or even the physician first described them.

Open or compound fracture

The broken in the bone protruding through the skin.

Comminuted fracture

The bone is splintered, crushed, or broken into pieces at the site of impact, the smaller bone fragmentslie between the two main fragments

Greenstick fracture

A partial fracture of which one side of the bone is broken in the other side bends: somewhere to the way a green twig brakes on one side while the other side stay as hole, but then, occur only in children, whose bones are not fully ossified and contain more organic material in an inorganic materialawesome 5 and contain more organic material then in organic pictures

Pott fracture

Fracture of the distal end of the lateral leg bone fibula, with serious injury of the distal tibial articulation

Colles fracture

Fracture of the distal end of the lateral forearm bone radius, in which the distal fragment is displaced posteriorly

Stress fracture

A series of microscopic fissures in bone that forms without any evidence of injury to other tissue

Impacted fracture

One and the fractured bone is forcefully driven into the interior of the other

Reduction of a fracture

Aligning the fractured ends, commonly referred to as setting a fracture

What are the four steps of repairing a bone fracture?

1. Formation of fracture hematoma


2. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation


3. Bony callus formation


4. Bone remodeling

Describe the formation of a fracture hematoma in bone repair

Blood vessels crossing the fracture line are broken. As blood leaks from the torn ends of the vessels, a massive blood forms around the side of the fracture. This massive blood, called a fracture hematoma usually forms 6 to 8 hours after the injury. Because the circulation of blood stops at the site where the fracture hematoma forms nearby bone cells die. Swelling and inflammation occurs in response to dad both cells, producing additional cellular debris. Phagocytes and osteoclasts begin to remove the dead or damaged tissue and end around the fracture hematoma. This stage may last up to several weeks.

Describe fibrocartilaginous callus formation in bone repair

Fibroblasts from the periosteum invade the fracture site and produce collagen fibers. In addition, cells from the periosteum develop inta chondroblasts and begin to reduce fibrocartilage in this region. These events lead to the development of a 50 cartilaginous Calais, a mass of repair tissue consisting of collagen fibers and cartilage that bridge the broken ends of the bone. Formation of the fibrocartilaginous callus takes about 3 weeks

Describe bony callus formation in bone repair

In areas closer to well vascularized healthy bone tissue, osteogenic cells develop and osteoclasts, which begins for do spongy bone trabeculae. The trabeculae join living and dead portions of the original bone fragments. In time, the fibro cartilage is converted into spongy bone, and the callus is then referred to as a bony Callas. The bony callus lasts about 3 to 4 months.

Describe bone remodeling in bone repair

The final phase of fracture repair is bone remodeling of the callus. dead portions of the original fragments of broken bone are gradually reabsorbed by osteoclasts. compact bone replaces spongy bone around the periphery of the fracture. Sometimes, the repair process is so throw that the fracture line is undetectable, even by radiograph. However, a thickened area on the surface of the bone remains as evidence of a healed fracture.

Describe the process by which parathyroid hormone regulates the calcium ion level in homeostasis.

PTH secretion operates via a negative feedback system:


1. Some stimulus causes the blood calcium levels to decrease


2. Parathyroid gland cells detect a change and increase their production of AMP


3. The PTH gene detects the increase in AMP


4. PTH Santa synthesis speeds up and PTH is released into the blood


5. The presence of the PTH increases the activity of osteoclasts, which break down bone, releasing calcium into the system

how do fibroids hormones impact bone?

Secreted by the pancreas: promote normal bone growth by increasing the synthesis of bone protein

How does sex hormones impact bone?

Secreted by the ovaries and women in by the testes and Men, stimulates osteoblasts and promote the sudden growth spurts that occur in the teenage years. Shut down growth of the epiphyseal plate around age 18 to 21. this causes lengthwise growth of the bone to end, and contribute to the bone remodeling during adulthood by falling bone reabsorption by osteoclast and promoting bone deposition by osteoblast

How does parathyroid hormone impact bone?

Succeeded by the parathyroid gland, it promotes bone reabsorption by osteoclasts, enhances recovery of calcium ions from urine, and promote the formation of the active form of vitamin D, calcitriol

describe how calcitonin impacts bone

Secreted by the thyroid gland, it inhibits bone reabsorption by osteoclast
