• Bone is made up of several different tissues working together:
bone, cartilage, dense connective tissue, epithelium, various blood forming tissues, adipose tissue, and nervous tissue.
• Each individual bone is an
organ
Functions of Bone
• Supporting & protecting soft tissues
• Attachment site for muscles making movement possible
• Storage of minerals and calcium & phosphate -- mineral homeostasis
• Blood cell production occurs in red bone marrow (hematopoiesis)
• Energy storage in yellow bone marrow
shaft
diaphyses
one end of a long bone
epiphyses
the areas between the epiphysis and diaphysis and include the epiphyseal plate in growing bones
metaphyses
• Articular cartilage over joint surfaces acts as
friction reducer and shock absorber
tough membrane covering bone but not the cartilage
periosteum
type of connective tissue as seen by widely spaced cells separated by matrix
bone
consists of widely separated cells surrounded by large amounts of matrix.
bone tissue
contains inorganic salts, primarily hydroxyapatite and some calcium carbonate, and collagen fibers.
the matrix of bone
occurs only in the presence of collagen fibers
calcification
bone-building cells
osteoblasts
mature bone cells and the principal cells of bone tissue
osteocytes
derived from monocytes and serve to break down bone tissue
osteoclasts
undergo cell division and develop into osteoblasts
osteogenic cells
form matrix & collagen fibers but can’t divide
osteoblasts
huge cells from fused monocytes (WBC)
osteoclasts
– can divide to replace themselves & can become osteoblasts
• Osteoprogenitor cells
– found in inner layer of periosteum and endosteum
• Osteoprogenitor cells
arranged in units called osteons or Haversian systems
compact bone
contain blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves, and osteocytes along with the calcified matrix.
osteons
are aligned in the same direction along lines of stress. These lines can slowly change as the stresses on the bone changes
osteons
• Makes up shaft of long bones and the external layer of all bones
compact bone
• Resists stresses produced by weight and movement
compact bone
concentric rings (lamellae) of calcified matrix surrounding a vertically oriented blood vessel
osteon
found in spaces called lacunae
osteocytes
communicate through canaliculi filled with extracellular fluid that connect one cell to the next cell
osteocytes
does not contain osteons. It consists of trabeculae surrounding many red marrow filled spaces.
spongy (cancellous) bone
• It forms most of the structure of short, flat, and irregular bones, and the epiphyses of long bones.
spongy (cancellous) bone
is light and supports and protects the red bone marrow.
spongy (cancellous) bone
• All embryonic connective tissue begins as
mesenchyme
is the formation of bone directly from or within fibrous connective tissue membranes.
– Intramembranous ossification
is the formation of bone from hyaline cartilage models.
Intramembranous
– Endochondrial ossification
forms the flat bones of the skull and the mandible
• Intramembranous ossification
forms from mesenchymal cells as they convert to osteoblasts and lay down osteoid matrix
an ossification center
surrounds the cell and then calcifies as the osteoblast becomes an osteocyte.
the matrix
join to form bridges of trabeculae that constitute spongy bone with red marrow between
– The calcifying matrix centers
involves replacement of cartilage by bone and forms most of the bones of the body.
• Endochondral ossification
• The first step in endochondrial ossification is
the development of the cartilage model
– perichondrium lays down periosteal bone collar
• Development of Primary Ossification Center
– nutrient artery penetrates center of cartilage model
• Development of Primary Ossification Center
– osteoblasts and osteoclasts migrate to center of cartilage model
– osteoblasts deposit bone matrix over calcified cartilage forming spongy bone trabeculae
• Development of Primary Ossification Center
– osteoclasts form medullary cavity
• Development of Primary Ossification Center
– in length by chondrocyte cell division and matrix formation (interstitial growth)
– in width by formation of new matrix on the periphery by new chondroblasts from the perichondrium (appositional growth)
– cells in midregion burst and change pH triggering calcification & chondrocyte death
growth of cartilage model
– blood vessels enter the epiphyses around time of birth
– spongy bone is formed but no medullary cavity
Development of secondary Ossification Center
– cartilage cells are produced by mitosis on epiphyseal side of plate
– cartilage cells are destroyed and replaced by bone on diaphyseal side of plate
• Epiphyseal plate or cartilage growth plate
• Bone can grow in thickness or diameter only by
appositional growth
• Skeleton is a reservoir of
calcium and phosphate
are involved with..nerve & muscle cell function
– blood clotting
– enzyme function in many biochemical reactions
calcium ions
