Osteogenic cells |
Unspecialized stem cells derived from mesenchyme; the only cells to undergo cell division. |
|
Osteoblasts |
Bone-building cells |
|
Osteocytes |
Mature bone cells |
|
Osteoclasts |
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 |
Release powerful lysosomal enzymes and acids that digest the protein and mineral components of the underlying bone matrix. |
|
Resorption |
The breakdown of bone matrix. |
|
Compact bone tissue |
Most of diaphyses of long bones |
|
Compact bone tissue |
Provide protection and support and resist the stresses produced by weight and movement |
|
6 Functions of Skeletal System |
1. Support |
|
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 |
|
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. |
