Term
long bones
Definition
o Longer than wide
o Shaft with heads on both ends
o Mostly compact bone
o Limbs: femur, humerus
Term
short bones
Definition
o Cube or box shape
o Mostly spongy bone
o As broad as they are long
o Carpals and tarsals
Term
flat bones
Definition
o Thin, flattened
o curved surfaces
o thin layers of compact bone around spongy bone
o sternum, ribs, skull
Term
irregular bones
Definition
o Irregular shape, doesn’t fit in other classes
o Vertebrae, facial bones
o Appears singly and not in groups, imbedded n tendons close to joints (sesamoid), Patella
Term
diaphyses
Definition
o Shaft, thick, compact bone surrounding, hollow, cylindrical shape, provides strong support without cumbersome weight
Term
epiphyses
Definition
o Ends of bones, composed of spongy (cancellous) bone, red marrow (specialized soft connective tissue fills space with spongy bone), epiphyseal plate: region between epiphyses and diaphysis, filled with cartilage during growth, the region between epiphyses and diaphysis is mataphysis, the bulbous shape provides for muscle attachments and also gives stability to joints
Term
articular cartilage
Definition
o Thin layer of hyaline cartilage, covers articular/joint surface of epiphyses, decreases friction at joint surfaces and cushions jolts and blows
Term
periosteum
Definition
o Dense, white, fibrous membrane that covers bone except at joint surfaces, sharpey’s fibers (secures periosteum to underlying bone), contains bone forming and destroying cells, and blood vessels (supplies bone with nutrients), essential for bone cell survival and for bone formation
Term
medullary cavity (marrow)
Definition
o Tubelike hollow spaces in diaphyses, adults’ are filled with connective tissue rich in fat=yellow marrow
Term
endosteum
Definition
o Thin epithelial membrane that lines medullary cavity
Term
inorganic salts
Definition
o 2/3 of matrix
o Specialized chemical crystals of calcium and phosphate= hydroxyapatite
o Deposition of these minerals=calcification
Term
organic salts
Definition
o Collagenous fibers
o Ground substance: proteins and polysaccharides
o Chondroitin sulfate: compound with glycosaminoglycans (GAG)
 Required for bone and cartilage repair
Term
osteon (haversian system)
Definition
structural unit of bone
Term
lamellae
Definition
concentric, cylinder, sites of lacunae
Term
lacunae
Definition
cavities containing tissue fluid where the bone cells are between the layers of lamellae
Term
caniliculi
Definition
hair like canals, connect lacunae together and conncet into larger canal , Haversion canal
Term
haversian canal
Definition
central canal, opening in center of osteon, contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves
Term
perforating canal (Volkmann canal)
Definition
 Canal perpendicular to central canal (Haversian canal)
 Contains vessels and nerves
 Carries blood from exterior surface of bone to osteon
Term
cancellous bone (spongy)
Definition
o No osteon
o Trabeculae
o lies between 2 layers of compact bone (skull, ribs, vertebrae)
o middle layer= diploe
o functions to resist stress, the bony spicules are arranged along lines of stress
Term
trabeculae
Definition
• Needle like bony spicules, bone cells are in them
Term
osteoblasts
Definition
forms bone, synthesisize and secrete a specialized organic matrix (osteoid), formed from the osteogenic stem cells found in endosteum and and lining of haversian canal
Term
osteoclast
Definition
bone reabsorbing cells, giant, erosion of bone minerals, breaks down bone matrix for remodeling and release of calcium
Term
osteocytes
Definition
mature bone cells, mature, nondividing osteoblasts, in lacunae
Term
functions of bone
Definition
• Support, Protection, movement (tendons attached muscles, act as levers), mineral storage (Ca++, P), hemaopoiesis (blood cell formation), red bone marrow (MYELOID TISSUE) in adult, epiphysis of long bone, skull, pelvis, sternum and ribs
Term
hematopoeisis
Definition
• Blood cell formation
Term
importance of calcium
Definition
• Mobilized and moves in/out of bone during breakdown, important for nerve formation, blood clotting, transmission of nerve impulses, an muscle contractions, stimulates vit D synthesis
Term
parathyroid hormone
Definition
• Most critical factor in regulation of Ca+ levels, released when blood Ca++ levels are low, stimulated osteoclast activity and bone absorption, Ca++ released from bone matric- Ca++ in blood, also increases renal absorption of Ca++ from urine, stimulates vit D synthesis, when Ca++ concentration in blood increases, stimulation for PTH stops
Term
calcitonin
Definition
• Stimulates bone desposition by osteoblasts, inhibits bone reabsorption (osteoclsts), less important than PTH
Term
appositional growth
Definition
• Chondrocytes in the deep layer of the perichondrium divides and secretes matrix
Term
epiephyseal plate
Definition
• Allows daphysis of long bones to increase in length
Term
osteoblast during growth
Definition
from periosteum lay down bone on outside
Term
osteoclast in growth
Definition
enlarge diameter of medullary cavity
Term
simple or transverse fracture
Definition
no skin penetration
Term
compound or open
Definition
ends protrude
Term
comminuted
Definition
fragments
Term
compression
Definition
bones crushed
Term
depressed
Definition
skull
Term
impacted
Definition
bone ends forced into each other
Term
spiral
Definition
twisting
Term
greenstick
Definition
incomplete break
Term
avulsion
Definition
small bony fragment is pulled away from the bone shaft
Term
osteoporosis
Definition
age –related skeletal dz
bone reabsorption on endosteal surface outpaces bone deposit beneath periosteum
bone fragility ( porous & light)
fractures – spine, forearm, hip
post-menopausal women (Caucasian)
Tx – estrogen replacement therapy, drugs, Ca++ supplements, wt-bearing exercises
Term
osteomalacia
Definition
“soft bones”
inadequate mineralization of bone
osteoid produced but no calcification
pts w/ malabsorption problems, vit. D & calcium deficiencies, chronic renal failure, & lack of sunlight
rickets in children
Tx – supplements, sunlight
Term
Paget's Disease (osteitis deformans)
Definition
older adults
proliferation of osteoclast & compensatory inc osteoblastic activity
rapid & disorganized bone remodeling
bones weakened
skull, femur vertebra, & pelvic bones
Term
osteomyeitis
Definition
bacterial infection of the bone and marrow tissue
m/c cause is staphylococcus
assoc w/ extension of another infection or direct bone contamination
elderly, poorly nourished, diabetic are at risk
Tx - antibiotics
