Compare and contrast structure and function of spongy vs compact bone and how it relates to healing time |
Compact bone: Function is to protect, support, and resist stress. Basic functional unit is the osteon. Haversian canal contains blood vessels that carry blood to and from osteon. Inner and outer surfaces of bone are covered by endosteum and periosteum. Compact bone is thickest where stresses arrive fromlimited range of directions Spongy bone: Function is to provide some support and store marrow. Basic functional unit are bundles of matrix known as trabeculae. Does not contain capillaries or blood vessels thus nutrients reach osteocytes via diffusion along canniculi. Red bone marrow is found between the trabeculae andblood vessels within this tissue deliver nutrients and remove waste products. found where bones are not heavily stressed thus arelighter and muscles are able to move the bone easier. Repair of fracture: 1) Fracture hematoma formation. 2) Callus formation. 3) Spongy bone formation. 4) Compact bone formation. |
|
Identify periosteum and endosteum |
Periosteum: 1) Isolates the bone from surrounding tissues 2) Provides a route for blood vessels and nerves 3) Takes part in bone growth and repair Endosteum: 1) Incomplete cellular layer that lines the meduallary cavity. 2) Active in bone growth, repair, and remodeling. 3) Covers trabeculae of spongy bones and lines inner surface of the central canals of compact bone. |

Explain bone growth andformation, and describe appositional growth |
Endochondral ossification –Most bone originate as hyaline cartilage that are gradually replaced byendochondral ossification. In adults, epiphyseal lines are what remain at theend of enchondral ossification and the completion of epiphyseal growth resultsin epiphyseal closure. Appositional growth occurs when the cells of the innerlayer of the periosteum differentiate into osteoblasts and deposit superficiallayers of the bone matrix. Eventually, the osteoblasts become surrounded bymatrix and develop into osteocytes. Appositional growth adds circumferentiallamellae to the surface and in time, the deepest circumferential lamellae arerecycled and replaced by osteons of compact bone. At the same time ofosteoblastic activity, osteoclasts removed bone matrix from the inner surfaceat a slower rate which results in the medullary activity enlarging as the bonegets larger in diameter. Intramembranous ossification –Begins when osteoblasts differentiate within mesenchymal or fibrous connectivetissues. Also called dermal ossification because it takes place in the deepestlayers of the dermis. The bones that result are called dermal bones such asflat bones of skull, mandible, and clavicles. Steps are: Mesenchymal cellscluster then differentiate into osteoblasts which secrete components of theorganic matrix. The resulting osteoid then becomes mineralized and startsforming the bone matrix. As ossification proceeds, some osteoblasts are trappedinside bony pockets where they differentiate into osteocyte and grow outward insmall struts called spicules. Blood vessels then begin to branch within theregion and grow between spicules and helps increase rate of bone growth with supplyof oxygen and nutrients. Spicule interconnect and trap blood vessels within thebone. Continues deposits of bone by osteoblasts located close to blood vesselsresult in spongy bone and the remodeling around the blood vessels produceosteons which typically turn into compact bone. Osteoblasts on surface alongwith connective tissues become periosteum. Both growth require extensiveblood supply. In bone like humerus, 3 major blood vessels develop. 1) thenutrient artery/vein – BV that supplies the diaphysis form by invadingcartilage model as endochondral ossification begins. Most bone have only onenutrient artery and one nutrient vein but some such as the femur have more thanone. Enters through the nutrient foramina and branches of these large vesselsform perforating canals and etend along shaft into osteons of surroundingcompact bone. 2) Metaphyseal vessels – supply blood to inner (diaphseal)surface of each epiphyseal cartilage where it is being replaced by bone. 3)Periosteal vessel – BV from periosteum provide blood to superficial osteons ofthe shaft. During endochondral bone formation, periosteal vessels enterepiphyses and provide blood to secondary ossification centers. The periosteumalso contain lymphatic vessels and sensory nerves. The lymphatics collect lymphfrom branches that enter bone and reach each osteon via perforating canals.Sensory nerves penetrate compact bone with nutrient artery to innervateendosteum, medullary cavity, and epiphyses. Appostional growth: Growth of bone that makes bones thicker in diameter. Cells of inner layer of periosteum differentiate into osteoblasts and deposit superficial layers of bone matrix. |

Hormone and effect on bone growth: Calcitriol |
Promotes calcium and phosphate ion absorption along the digestive tract |
|
Hormone and effect on bone growth: Growth Hormone |
Stimulates osteoblast activity and synthesis of bone matrix
|
|
Hormone and effect on bone growth: Thyroxine |
Along with growth hormone, stimulate osteoblast activity and the synthesis of bone matrix
|
|
Hormone and effect on bone growth: Sex Hormones |
Stimulate osteoblast activity and the synthesis of bone matrix; estrogens stimulate epiphyseal closure earlier than androgens.
|
|
Hormone and effect on bone growth: Parathyroid Hormone |
Stimulates osteoclast (and osteoblast) activity; increases blood calcium ion concentrations
|
|
Hormone and effect on bone growth: Calcitonin |
Inhibits osteoclast activity; promotes calcium loss by kidneys; decreases blood calcium ion concentration |

Basic function of skeletal muscle: |
1) Produce skeletal movement 2) Maintain posture and body position 3) Support soft tissues 4) Guard body entrances and exits 5) Maintain body temperature 6) Store nutrients |
|
Describe the organizationand functions of tissues within a skeletal muscle: Epimysium |
Epimysium is a dense layer ofcollagen fibers that surrounds entire muscle and separates muscle from nearbytissue and organs. |
|
Describe the organization and functions of tissues within a skeletal muscle: Perimysium |
Perimysium divides skeletalmuscle into series of compartments containing a bundle of muscle fibers knownas a fascicle. The perimysium also contains blood vessels and nerves thatsupply the muscle fibers. |
|
Describe the organization and functions of tissues within a skeletal muscle: Endomysium |
Endomysium surrounds each skeletal muscle fiber andloosely interconnects adjacent fibers. The endomysium also contains capillarynetworks that supply blood and myosatellite cells (stem cells) that help repairdamaged muscle, and also contains nerve fibers that control the muscle. |
|

Arrangement of muscle fibers which are separated into different classes: Parallel, Convergent, Pennate & Circular |
|
Describe the organization and functions of tissues within a skeletal muscle: Tendon |
Bundle of epimysium, endomysium, and perimysium that come together at the end of each muscle. Usually attach muscle to bone. |
|
Describe the organization and functions of tissues within a skeletal muscle: Aponeurosis |
Broad sheet of epimysium, endomysium, and perimysium that come together at the end of a muscle. May serve as insertion or origin of skeletal muscle |
|
Identify Muscle type: Parallel |
1) Fascicles are parallel to longaxis of muscle.2) Most skeletal muscle isparallel. 3) Spindle shaped muscle hascentral body or belly. 4) When contracting, itshortens and gets larger in diameter. Bicepsbrachii is an example of parallel muscle with body. |
|
Identify Muscle type: Convergent |
1) Fascicles extending over abroad area converge on a common attachment site. 2) May pull on tendon,aponeurosis, or raphe (slender band of collagen fibers). 3) Typically spread out like afan. 4) Versatile becausestimulation of different portions of muscle can change direction of pull. Pectoralismuscle of chest is example. |
|
Identify Muscle type: Pennate |
1)Fascicles form a commonangle with the tendon. 2) Similar to parallel musclesbut do not move tendons as far. 3) Contains more muscle fibersthan parallel thus produces more tension. 4) Unipennate – all musclesfibers are on same side as tendon (ie extensor digitorum muscle) 5) Bipennate – fibers are onboth side of tendon (ie rectus femoris muscle) 6) Multipennate– tendon branches within the pennate muscle (ie deltdoid muscle) |
