Term
What is osteoid bone?
Definition
Unmineralized bone
Term
What is woven bone made of and what else is made of this?
Definition
Type I collagen; dermis, tendons, joint capsules, etc
Term
When is woven bone found?
Definition
Embryogenesis, fracture repair, surrounding fast growing tumors.
Term
What is osteogenesis imperfecta & what does it lead to?
Definition
Defect in replacing woven bone with lamellar bone after birth. Babies ribs break and they die after their first breath.
Term
What is lamellar bone made of and how is it arranged?
Definition
Type I collagen arranged in parallel.
Term
The 4 forms of lamellar bone?
Definition
Trabecular, Circumfrential, Concentric, Interstitial
Term
Where is trabecular bone found?
Definition
Interior ends of long bones & in vertebrae.
Term
Characteristics of trabecular bone?
Definition
Meshwork of trabeculae, highly vascularized & contains bone marrow.
Term
What is the disease that is caused by defects in the ability of trabecular bone to mineralize?
Definition
Osteomalacia, leads to bone weakness & rickets in children.
Term
What type of bone is found around the shaft of bone & is layered like an onion?
Definition
Lamellar circumferential bone.
Term
Where is concentric bone found?
Definition
Surrounding the arteries & veins that supple lamellar bone.
Term
What are osteons?
Definition
Rings of concentric bone.
Term
What is the network of concentric bone channels called?
Definition
Haversian system
Term
Perpendicular haversian channels are called what?
Definition
Volkmann's
Term
What is found in between channels of the Haversian system?
Definition
Interstitial bone
Term
What is the shaft of a long bone called?
Definition
Diaphysis
Term
What is the end of a growing bone called?
Definition
Epihysis
Term
What is the metaphysis?
Definition
Wider portion of bone along epiphyseal plate, part of bone that grows during childhood
Term
What are the 2 types of bone growth?
Definition
Interstitial & Appositional
Term
When does interstitial growth occur?
Definition
During development of the cartilage framework of most bones in body, except skull.
Term
Via what method of growth does the skull form?
Definition
Intramembranous ossification (intramembranous appositional growth)
Term
What process allows osteoprogenitor cells to begin laying down bone during bone formation?
Definition
Cartilage framework formed via interstitial growth-->Chondrocytes in middle apoptose leaving a cavity called the primary ossification center-->this becomes vascularized & allows the immigration of osteoprogenitor & hematopoietic cells.
Term
What do osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into and what do they do?
Definition
Osteoblasts, lay down bone as appositional growth.
Term
In which locations (places in bone) does appositional osteoblast bone formation occur?
Definition
Primary ossification centers, Secondary ossification centers (epiphysis near growth plate), along sides of trabeculae in marrow cavity, below periosteum for shaft thickness.
Term
What type of growth is all bone formed by?
Definition
Appositional growth (most by endochondral appositional ossification)
Term
Difference between endochondral vs intramembranous ossification?
Definition
Endochondral=cartilage framework exists before bone starts forming, Intramembranous=no cartilage during ossification.
Term
What law describes the process of mechanical stress to bone causing bone remodeling & increased bone strength?
Definition
Wolff's Law
Term
How is Wolff's Law relevant to fracture repair?
Definition
Compression plates add stress to an area of fracture to make bone stronger during process of repair.
Term
What is bone replaced by when damaged?
Definition
Bone
Term
What is bone like in osteoporosis?
Definition
Less bone mass. Trabeculae can be thicker (strong) but are much fewer.
Term
What is bone like in osteomalacia?
Definition
Less rigid & strong.
Term
What is the purpose of trabecular bone?
Definition
Dispel force at end of bone (always undergoing microfracture)
Term
If trabeculae are not all interconnected, what disease are we looking at?
Definition
Osteoporosis
Term
What could lamellar bone be indicative of besides normal cortex?
Definition
A tumor
Term
What are the 2 sources of blood supply to bone?
Definition
Nutrient artery (+ vein), Perforating arteries (+ veins)
Term
What does the nutrient artery supply with blood?
Definition
Marrow & inner 1/3 of cortex
Term
What do the perforating arteries supply w blood?
Definition
Outer 2/3 of cortex (in periosteum)
Term
Arteries parallel to long axis are called what? Perpindicular?
Definition
Parallel=Haversian Channel, Perpendicular=Volkmann's Canal
Term
How can a hip fracture be fatal?
Definition
Can exsanguinate into thigh.
Term
When looking @ an osteon which cells are older, outside or inside?
Definition
Outside
Term
What is dead tissue in cortex called?
Definition
Interstitial lamellar bone
