Osteoblasts
|
Bone forming cells, non mitotic so they come from the differentiation osteogenic cells.
Synthesize bone matrix and secrete a hormone that increases insulin. |
|
Osteocytes
|
Osteoblasts that get trapped in matrix. Reside in lacunae.
Resorb/deposit bone matrix, pass nutrients and chemical signals to other osteocytes by gap junction, pass waste to nearest blood vessels, and contact osteoblasts on bone surface |

Osteoclasts
|
Bone dissolving cells on bone surface. Formed by the fusion of stem cells.
Ruffled border on the side facing bone surface that has unfoldings of plasma membrane which increases cell surface area. Reside in pits called resorption bays in bone surface |
|
Matrix
|
Organic matrix: collagen and protein carb complexes

|
Composite
|
A combo of a ceramic and a polymer
In bone, the polymer is collagen (gives bone a degree of flexibility) and ceramic is hydroxyapatite (enables bone to support weight of body) |
|
Concentric lamellae
|
Layers of matrix in compact bone concentrically arranged around a haversian/central canal and connected with eachother by an osteon (haversian system)
|
|
Osteon
|
(Haversian system) the basic structural unit of compact bone
|
|
Perforating canals
|
Passages that join central canals lined with endosteum
|
|

|
Half a liter
|
|

|
Lattice of slivers of bone in spongy bone (rods and plates)
|
|
Bone Marrow
|
Soft tissue that occupies the marrow cavity of a long bone, spaces of Trabeculae in spongy bone and central canals.
Red: myeloid tissue producing blood cells in kids bones Yellow: in adults, red marrow that turns to fat. Doesn't produce bold cells |
|
Two methods of Ossification
|
Intramembranous ossification and endochondral
|
|
Intramembranous ossification
|
Produces flat bones of the skull and clavicle.
1: deposition of osteoid tissue into embryonic mesenchyme 2: calcification of osteoid tissue and entrapment of osteocytes 3: honeycomb of spongy bone with developing periosteum 4: filling of space to form compact bone at surfaces, leaving spongy bone in middle |
|
Endochondral ossification
|
When a bone (vertebrae, ribs, sternum, scapula, pelvis, limbs) develops from a preexisting model composed of hyaline cartilage.
1: early cartilage model 2: formation of primary ossification center, bone collar, periosteum 3: vascular invasion, formation of primary marrow cavity, appearance of secondary ossification center 4: bone at birth, with enlarged primary marrow cavity and appearance of secondary marrow cavity in one epiphysis 5: bone of child, with Epiphyseal plate at distal end 6: adult bone with a single marrow cavity and closed Epiphyseal plate |
|

|
|

|
|
