Osteogenic cells

Unspecialized stem cells derived from mesenchyme; the only cells to undergo cell division.

Osteoblasts

Bone-building cells

Osteocytes

Mature bone cells

Osteoclasts
(description)

Huge cells derived from fusion of up to 50 monocytes (type of leukocyte) concentrated in the endeosteum. Plasa membrane deeply flded into a ruffled border.

Osteoclasts
(function)

Release powerful lysosomal enzymes and acids that digest the protein and mineral components of the underlying bone matrix.

Resorption

The breakdown of bone matrix.
Part of the normal development, growth, maintenance repair of bone.

Compact bone tissue
(location)

Most of diaphyses of long bones

Compact bone tissue
(function)

Provide protection and support and resist the stresses produced by weight and movement

6 Functions of Skeletal System

1. Support
2. Protection
3. Assistance of body movement
4. Storage and release of calcium & phosphorous salts
5. Blood cell production in red marrow
6. Triglyceride storage in yellow marrow

Components of long bone

Diaphysis


Epiphyses


Metaphyses


Articular cartilage covering both epiphyses


Perosteum


Medullary cavity


Endeosteum

Epiphyses

Ends of the bone at the joints

Metaphysis

Region between diaphysis and epiphysis

Periosteum

Connective tissue surrounding the diaphysis

Medullary cavity

Hollow space within diaphysis

Endeosteum

Thin membrane lining the medullary cavity

Osteon (aka Haversian systems)

Unit of compact bone

Components of Osteon

1. Concentric lamellae


2. Lacuna


3. Osteocyte


4. Caniculi


5. Haversian canal

Concentric lamellae

Rings of hard, calcified matrix

Lacunae

Small spaces containing osteocytes

Canaliculi

Tiny canals radiating in all directions from the lacunae; contain extracellular fluid and the thin processes of osteocytes

Haversian canal

Central canals running longitudinally through bone; contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves.

Periosteal arteries

enter the diaphysis through Volkmann's canals;


accompanied by periosteal veins

Nutrient artery

enters & exits the center of the diaphysis through a nutrient foramen

Ossification

The process of bone formation

4 Situations of Bone Growth

1. During embryological and fetal development


2. When bones grow before adulthood


3. When bones remodel


4. When fractures heal

Epiphyseal arteries

enter the epiphyses of a long bone and supply

2 types of ossification

1. Intramembraneous


2. Endochondrial

Intramembraneous

occurs in flat bones when a connective tissue membrane is replaced by bone

4 incidences of intramembraneous ossification

1. Development of the center of ossification


2. Calcification
3. Formation of the trebeculae
4. Development of the periosteum

Endochondrial ossification

The replacement of cartilage by bone

5 incidences of endochondrial ossification

1. Development of the cartilage model


2. Growth of the cartilage model


3. Devlopment of the primary ossification center


4. Development of the secondary ossification centers


5. Formation of articular cartilage and the epiphyseal plate.

Primary ossification occurs in the

medullary cavity

Secondary ossification occurs in the

The interior of the epiphyses

Epiphyseal plate



A layer of hyaline cartilage in the metaphysis of a growing bone that consists of four zones

Epiphyseal line

The bony structure that replaces epiphyseal plates.
