Term
2 mechanisms of bone formation
Definition
Intramembranous: mesenchymal CT changes into bone, Endocondrial: cartilage is replaced by bone
Term
2 shapes of bone
Definition
flat and long
Term
Describe how age relates to microscopic structure
Definition
immature or woven bone: very cellular, irregular matrix lower mineral content, mature or lamellar bone: matrix is arranged in layers bone may be spongy AKA trabecular cancellous (composed of spicules) or compact
Term
what type of growth does bown share with cartilage
Definition
ONLY appositional
Term
What defining characteristic does bone differ then cartilage
Definition
bone is extremely vascular where cartilage is avasculater almost by definition
Term
Diaphysis
Definition
(shaft) compact outside marrow cavity inside, red marrow is the site of blood cell formation or hematopoiesis, yellow marrow is filled with adipose CT
Term
metaphysis
Definition
in between epiphysis and diaphysis
Term
epiphysis
Definition
compact outside spongy bone inside
Term
epiphysial plate
Definition
is a line growth has stopped separates epiphesys from diaphsys
Term
periosteum 2 layers
Definition
covers outer suface of bone extept for articular surfaces similar in layer to cartilage outer layer of FECT and inner isteogenic layer
Term
endosteum describe
Definition
lines marrow cavity ie all internal surfaces of bone, composed of a single layer of osteoblasts or osteogenic cells
Term
articular cartilage
Definition
covers articular surgaces made of hyaline cartilage not cover by perichondrium
Term
Describe the blood supply
Definition
vessels in the periostium bcome entrapped as bone is being laid down; tge become vessels within canals of mature bone, Nutrient vessels: enter the diaphysis of compact bone supply marrow cavity Epiphyseal vessels: enter near epiphyseal plate, supply epihysis
Term
Nerves where?
Definition
abundant sensory nerves in periosteum but not to bone cells. Vasomotor nerves accompany blood vessels with in the bone
Term
briefly describe the acrhetecture of flat bone
Definition
inner and out tables of relatively thick compact bone Diploe: spongy bone between the tables thickness varies with the specific bone, periosteum: outer surce is percranium, inner surface is part of the dura mater of the brain
Term
Osteoblast
Definition
osteoblast or their precursors form a row of cuboidal cells on surfaces of bone both periosteal and endosteal surfaces, nucleus: frequently located on side away from bone, prominent nucleolus cytoplasm: very basophilic due to extensive RER hematoxophilic, frequently a negative golgi image is seen numerous mitochondrial
Term
Describe the mechonisms of boen deposition
Definition
1st oisteoid is synthesized by osteoblasts: collagen type 1 fibers and ground substance primarily chondotin sulfate, 2nd ossification of osteoid then occurs from osteoblast secreting alkalin phophatase: this causes calcium to precipitate on osteoid along the collagen fibers
Term
Osteocytes
Definition
osteoblast that has become completely surrounded by bone matrix lie in lacunae as doe chondrocytes. Shaped like a flattended ovoid with long processes extending from it though canaliculi in the bone toward other osteocytes function to transport materials between blood and bone to maintain surrounding matrix, gap junctions maintain cytoplasmic continuity
Term
Osteoclasts
Definition
large cells with up to 15-20 nuclei, located on the surface of bone frequenlty in depressions called howships lacunae; cell is dirived from monocytes in bone marrow, involved with bone resorption view proteolutic enzyme (acid phosphatase) Description: nuclei resemble those of osteoblast and osteocytes prominant nucleolus, Cytoplasm: frothy or vacuolated, surface facing bone is deeply ruffled and highly active, contains lysosomal granules of acid phosphatase
Term
intercellular matrix of bone 2 portions
Definition
organic portion about 35% of dry weight; inorganic portion about 65% of dry weight
Term
organic portion role make up
Definition
crompised of collagen type 1- 90% of organic matrix; formed by osteoblasts, GAGs primarily chondrotic sulfate, cements fibers compsed of less chondroitin then cartilege therefore matrix appears mor acidophilic (eosinophilic pink) than cartilage functions: provides bone with great toughness and reiliency flexibility
Term
inorganic portion role and make up
Definition
1) crystals resembling hydroxyapatite, calcium ions, phophate ions, some citrate carbonate, deposition as slender needles along collagen fiber, function: provides bone with hardness
Term
compact vs spongy
Definition
referes to macroscpoic structure of bone
Term
woven vs lamellar
Definition
refers to microscopic structure of boen
Term
intramembranous vs endochondral
Definition
refers to the two mechanisms of bone formation
