-
Bones can be classified as _____ or _____ bone.
compact or spongy

Bone Tissue
-
- Long Bones consist of:
- - Diaphysis = bone's shaft/body
- - Epiphysis = proximal & distal ends
- - Metaphysis = between diaphysis & epiphysis;
- - Articular Cartilage = hyaline cartilage covering the epiphysis where the bone forms a joint with another bone.
- - Periosteum = external bone surface
- - Medullary Cavity = marrow cavity (yellow fatty bone marrow) w/in the diaphysis.
- - Endosteum = thin membrane lines the internal bone surface facing the medullary cavity.
-
-
Basic structural unit of compact bone.
Osteon
-
Haversian Canal or Central Canal = runs longitudinally or the length of the bone, through compact bone containing blood vessels & lymphatic vessel.
-
Lacunae = empty spaces in the matrix, where osteocytes are found.
-
Rings or layers of bone.
Lamella
-
Volkmann's Canals = runs transversely through compact bone containing blood vessels & ltmphatic vessel.
-
Structure: Tiny hairlike channels connecting between lacunae & osteocytes to each other & the central canal.
Function: Transportation of nutrients & wastes.
Canaliculi
-
Function of Bones
- Support - Framework supports body & cradles organs.
- Protection - Protective case for brain, spinal cord, & vital organs.
- Muscle levers
- Mineral Storage - especially Ca & Phos
- Blood Cell Formation - hemopoiesis occurs w/in the marrow cavities.
-
Water ground substance allows resiliency; Contains fibers & cells (chondrocytes); Contains no blood vessels or nerves; Surrounded by perichondrium; 3 Types.
Cartilage
-
- W/in certain bones, a C.T. that produces RBC, WBC, & platelets.
- Consists of developing blood cells, adiposcytes, fibroblasts, & macrophages within a network of reticular fibers.
- Found in spongy or trabeculae of bone
Red Bone Marrow
-
When a bone ceases to grow in length at about ages 18-21, the cartilage in the epiphyseal plate is replaced by bone; the resulting bony structure is known as the ____.
Epiphyseal Plate
-
In a growing bone, each metaphysis contains an _____ _______, a layer of hyaline cartilage that allows the diaphysis of the bone to grow in length.
Epiphyseal (growth) Plate
-
A hollow, cylindrical space within the diaphysis that contains fatty yellow bone marrow in adults.
Medullary Cavity
-
A thin membrane that lines the internal bone surface facing the medullary cavity. It contains a single layer of cells & a small amount of C.T.
Endosteum
-
About 25% water, 25% collagen fibers, & 50% crystallized mineral salts.
Extracellular Matrix
-
4 types of cells present in bone tissue
- - Osteogenic Cells
- - Osteoblasts
- - Osteocytes
- - Osteoclasts
-
Stem Cells from mesenchyme ; Only bone cells to undergo cell division ; Develops into an Osteoblasts ; Found along inner portion of periosteum, in the endosteum, & in the canals w/in bone that contain blood vessels.
Osteogenic Cells
-
Bone-building cells ; Forms bone matrix; Initiate calcification ; Become Osteocytes.
Osteoblasts
-
Mature bone cells; Main cells in bone tissue; Maintains bone tissue.
Osteocytes
-
Huge cells ; Concentrated in the endosteum ; Releases lysosomal enzymes & acids that digest protein & mineral components of the underlying bone matrix, Resorption.
Osteoclast
-
Spongy bone consists of lamellae arranged in an irregular lattice of thin columns called ______.
Trabeculae
-
______ bone tissue does not contain osteons.
Spongy
-
The spaces between trabeculae help make bones lighter & can sometimes be filled with ______________, which contains numerous small blood vessels.
Red Bone Marrow
-
_________ receive nourishment from the blood circulating through the blood vessels in the spaces between trabeculae.
Osteocytes
-
Slitlike opening ; narrow ; for nerves or blood vessels.
- Fissure (in the picture = superior orbital fissure)
-

- Foramen(in picture = mental foramen of mandible)
-

- Fossa
- (In picture = fossa for cerebellum of occipital)
-
