What are the four shapes bones are classified by?

1. Long


2. Short


3. Flat


4. Irregular

Long bone

- longer than wide (name reflects shape rather than size)


ie. limbs

short bone

- cube like bones


ie. carpal and tarsal bones

flat bones

sternum, ribs, certain bones of skull

irregular bones

all other bones, vertebrae, hip bone, sphenoid

What are the two locations bones are classified by?

Sutural and sesmoid

Sesamoid bones

- shaped like a sesame seed


- bone is surrounded by a tendon


ie. patella, sesmoid bones

Sutural bones

- located within sutures of skull --> not always present

Are sutural bones always present?

No

What are the major structures of a long bone?

1. Diaphysis


2. Epiphysis


3. Epiphyseal Lines


4. Periosteum


5. Endosteum

Diaphysis

- shaft (long axis) of a long bone


- contains the marrow cavity

What is diaphysis composed primarily of?

Compact bone

What is another word for compact bone?

Cortical bone

What do adults have in the marrow cavity?

Yellow bone marrow

What do children have in the marrow cavity?

Red bone marrow

Epiphysis

- ends of long bone (joint surface)


- covered with articular cartilage

Where does articular cartilage come from?

Always been there! and it gets stronger

what is epiphysis composed of?

Spongy bone

what kind of cartilage is on the epiphysis?

hyaline articular cartilage, absorbs shock and reduces friction

Epiphyseal lines

- located between the diaphysis and the epiphyses


- once the plates turn into lines when finished growing

When are females finished growing

15-18 years old

When are males finished growing

18-22 years old

Endosteum

connective tissue membrane which surrounds the internal surfaces of the bone

Periosteum

connective tissue membrane which surrounds the external surface of the diaphysis


- surgery= break through periosteum

Bone

type of connective tissue

what is bone composed of

cells and extracellular matrix (fibers and ground substance)

What are the 3 types of cells in bones

Osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes

Osteoblasts

-make bone


- turn into osteocytes

what is the difference between an osteocyte and an osteoblast

osteoblast is an immature stem cell while osteocyte is a mature cell

osteocyte

- mature bone cells, maintain bone


- cell bodies of osteocytes sit in spaces called lacunae ---> lives in pit


- cell processes of osteocytes sit in spaces called cunaliculi

what are cunaliculi?

its a tube where blood vessels, veins, arteries, lymphatics sit in there and run through, cell projections

osteoclasts


W

- breakdown bone


- secrete hydrochloric acid


- spongy and compact remodeling are


- destruction of the bone matrix

What is the extracellular matrix of bone is primarily composed of

osteoid and hydroxyl apatites

osteoid

- secreted by osteoblasts


- accounts for bones strength (collagen and mg and calcium)

what accounts for bone strength in osteoids

mg and calcium

what accounts for rigidity in osteoids

collagen

what accounts for hardness of bones

hydroxy apatities

is osteoid organic or inorganic

organic

what is another word for spongy bone

trabecular= cancellous

hydroxyapatities account for what?

bone hardness due to calcium salts

Which part of the bone is compact?

The external layer

What is compact bone composed of?

osteons

What is an osteon

a tube of bone matrix formed by rings

what are the rings in the bone matrix called

concentric lamellae
