Calcium phosphate

2/3 of the weight of the bone

Osteocytes

Mature bone cells, maintain and monitor the protein and mineral content

Osteoblasts

Cuboidal, single layer on the inner or outer surfaces of a bone, responsible for the production of new bone osteogenesis. Always producing matrix that quickly binds minerals.

Osteo progenitor cells

Flattened or squamous shaped stem cells found in numerous areas including inner most layer of the periosteum and in the Endosteum lining the medullary cavities can divide to produce daughter cells that differentiate into osteoblasts

Osteoclast

Large multi nucleate cells found at sites where bone is being removed erosion process where acids produced involving the exocytosis of lysosomes dissolve the bony matrix and release amino acids and the stored calcium and phosphate equals osteolysis. Always removing matrix and releasing minerals.

Osteolysis

Increases the calcium and phosphate concentrations in body fluids

Compact bone

Relatively dense and solid. Also known as the cylindrical osteon or haversion system. Forms walls.

Spongy bone

Forms an open network of struts and plates

What's the difference between spongy bone and compact bone?

The arrangement of spongy bone into parallel struts or sick branching plates called trabeculae and much lighter than compact bone. Spongy bone is found wherever bones aren't stressed heavily or where stresses arrive from many directions.

What is the outer surface of a bone covered in?

Periosteum. it isolates and protects the bone from surrounding tissues

Ossification

The process of replacing other tissues with bone

Calcification

The deposition of calcium salts within a tissue.

Ossification versus calcification

Any tissue can be calcified but only ossification results in the formation of bone

Intramembranous ossification

Bone develops to form mesenchymal or fibrous connective tissue. For example clavicle, mandible, flat bones of the face and skull

Endochondral ossification

Bone replaces existing Cartlidge model. For example, bones that bear weight such as the vertebral column

Accessory structures such as

Cartilages, menisci divided synovial cavity. Fat pads – periphery of joint, lightly covered by a layer of synovial membrane.

Ligaments

Chemicals released by motor neuron at synapse alters the transmembrane potential of sarcolemma. Transverse tubules. The change in the transmembrane potential of the t-tubules triggers the release of calcium ions by the sarcoplasmic reticulum which equals a contraction.
