Diaphysis
|
Shaft
|
|
Epiphysis
|
Proximal and distal ends
|
|
Medullary Cavity
|
Marrow Cavity;
1) Center of diaphysis 2) Fat storage- yellow marrow ~gelatinous bone marrow- reddish jelly that replaces yellow marrow in old age |
|
Endosteum
|
-Thin Layer
-Lines medullary cavity -Reticular connective tissue -Contains osteogenic cells |
|
Periosteum
|
-Double layer of dense irregular connective tissue
~outer fibrous layer ~inner osteogenic layer -elastic fibers,blood vessels, bone cells -lines outside of bone |
|
Sharpey's Fibers
|
-Collagenous fibers that penetrate into bone matrix
|
|
Compact Bone
|
Outer surface of bone
|
|
Diploe (Spongy Bone)
|
-Central regions of flat bone
-Within epiphyses of long bone -Reduces weight of bone -Forms long lines of stress -Contains red marrow |
|
Osteon
|
Haversian systems
|
|
Haversian Canal
|
Contains blood vessels and nerves
|
|
Perforating canal (Volkmann's canals)
|
-Perpendicular to Haversian canals
-Connect Haversian canals to outside blood vessels |
|
Lamellae
|
-Ring of hard calcified intercellular substance
~concentric ~interstitial ~circumferential |
|
Lacunae
|
Spaces that contain osteocytes
|
|
Canaliculi
|
-Connect osteocytes
~Connected by gap junctions |
|
Osteogenic Cells
|
-Found in cellular layer of Periosteum, Endosteum and Haversian canals
-STEM CELLS-->osteoblasts |
|
osteoblast
|
-produces bone matrix
-before calcium salts are deposited-osteoid -Promotes deposition of calcium in the matrix -ostoblasts become surrounded by bone and are now called ostecytes -not mitotic |
|
osteocytes
|
-cannot divide
-Two functions: 1. maintain and monitor protein and mineral content of matrix 2. participate in repair of damaged bone -if released from lacunae can form osteoblasts or osteogenic cells |
|
osteoclast
|
-In Howship's lacunae
-Multinuclear-up to 50 nuclei -derrive from monocytes -sends out projections toward bone & secretes two substances: proteolytic enzymes-from lysomes & digest; acids-citric & lactic acids-dissolve bone salts |
|
Hydroxyapatite
|
Bone Crystals
|
|
Calcination
|
remove organic material by heat
|
|
Trabeculae
|
Thin plates
|
