3/4 of skeleton
Medullary cavity containing bone marrow
Spongy (cancellous) bone
Ends of bones
Diaphysis
Shaft of long bone
Provides leverage
Epiphysis
Each end of long bone
Strengthens joints, added surface area for attachment of tendons and ligaments
What cartilage covers the joint surface where one bone meets another
Articular cartilage

And periosteum does not cover this
Nutrient foramina
Small holes in bone to allow blood vessels to penetrate thru
Periosteum
Tough sheath covering bones to provide strong attachment from muscle to tendon to bone.
Outer layer made of collagen and inner layer made of osteogenic layer (bone forming cells)
Endosteum
Thin layer of reticular CT lining internal marrow cavity, spongy bone, and canal system in compact bone
Epiphyseal plate
Of hyaline cartilage that separates the diaphysis and epiphysis that shoes where the bones grow in length
Diploe
Middle layer of spongy bone in the cranium to absorb impact of blows to the head
Bones consist of...
Cells, fibers and ground substance
Osteogenic cells
Stem cells developed from embryonic cells & gives rise to other bone cell types.
Found in endosteum and periosteum
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
Inorganic matrix: hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate, magnesium, sodium potassium, fluoride, sulfate
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
How much blood does the skeleton receive per minute
Half a liter
Spicules & Trabeculae
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
Bone Elongation
Takes place at Epiphyseal plates.
Bone Elongation
Takes place at Epiphyseal plates.
Conversion of cartilage To bone
1: zone of reserve cartilage
2: zone of cell proliferation
3: zone of cell hypertrophy
4: zone of calcification & 5: zone of bone deposition
Interstitial growth
Bone elongation from cartilage growth by multiplication of Chondrocytes and deposition of new matrix
Interstitial growth
Bone elongation from cartilage growth by multiplication of Chondrocytes and deposition of new matrix
Appositional growth
Deposition of new tissue at the surface that makes bones grow in diameter and thickness
Wolff's law of bone
States that the architecture of a bone is determined by the mechanical stresses placed upon it
Calcitonin
Secreted by C cells of thyroid when the blood calcium concentration rises too high.
Lowers concentration by Osteoclasts inhibition(this is reduced to liberate less calcium from skeleton) and osteoblast stimulation(increased to deposit calcium into skeleton)
Calcitonin
Secreted by C cells of thyroid when the blood calcium concentration rises too high.
Lowers concentration by Osteoclasts inhibition(this is reduced to liberate less calcium from skeleton) and osteoblast stimulation(increased to deposit calcium into skeleton)
Parathyroid hormone
Secreted by the parathyroid glands that adhere to the posterior surface of the thyroid gland and releases PTH when blood calcium is low
Calcitonin
Secreted by C cells of thyroid when the blood calcium concentration rises too high.
Lowers concentration by Osteoclasts inhibition(this is reduced to liberate less calcium from skeleton) and osteoblast stimulation(increased to deposit calcium into skeleton)
