additional matrix

Diaphysis-


which is the main shaft of a long bone, hollow cylindrical shape and thick compact bone, provides strong support without cumbersome weight

Epiphyses-


are both ends of a long bone, made of cancellous bone filled with marrow, bulbous shape and provide attachments for muscles and give stability to joints

Articular cartilage-


Layer of hyaline cartilage that covers the articular surface of epiphyses, cushions jolts and blows

Periosteum-


Dense, white fibrous membrane that covers bone, attaches tendons firmly to bones, contains cells that form and destroy bone, contains blood vessels important in growth and repair, contains blood vessels that send branches into bone, essential for bone cell survival and bone formation.

Medullary-



Tube-like hollow space in the diaphysis, filled with yellow marrow in adults

Endosteum-


thin fibrous membrane that lines the medullary cavity

Spaces inside the cancellous bone of short, flat,irregular, and sesamoid bones

are filled with



Red marrow

Hydroxyapatite-


crystals of calcium and phosphate contribute to bone hardness, slender needlelike crystals are oriented to most effectively resist stress and mechanical deformation, Magnesium, sodium, sulfate and fluoride and also found in bone.

Organic Matrix-


composite ofcollagenous fibers and an amorphous (no clear shape), mixture ofproteins and polysaccharides called groundsubstance. Ground substance is secreted by connective tissuecells, adds to overall strength of bone and gives some degree of resilience to bone.

Compact Bone-

contains many cylinder-shaped structural units called osteons or Haversian Systems, osteons surround canals that run lengthwise through bone and are connected by transverse canals (Volkmann), living bone cells are located in these units, constitute the structural framework of compact bone, osteons permit delivery of nutrients and removal of waste products.

Lacunae-



small spaces containing tissue fluid in which bone cells are located between hard layers of the lamella


Canaliculi-

ultra small canals radiating in all directions from the lacunae and connecting them to each other and to the central canal

Osteoblasts-


bone forming cells found in all bone surfaces, small cells synthesize and secrete osteoid, an important part of the ground substance, collagen fibrils line up in osteoid and serve as a framework for the deposition of calcium and phosphate

Osteoclasts-


Giant multinucleated cells containing many mitochondria and lysosomes, responsible for the active erosion of bone minerals. Hydrochloric acid dissolves hard bone minerals, releasing ions, Collagenase is an enzyme that breaks collagen proteins into amino acids, Ions and amino acids are reabsorbed by blood and recycled.

Osteocytes-

mature, non-dividing osteoblasts surrounded by matrix and lying within lacunae

Skeletal system-

serves as a store house for about 98% of body calcium reserves. Helps maintain constancy of blood calcium levels, calcium is mobilized and moves into and out of blood during bone remodeling, during bone formation, osteoblasts remove calcium from blood and lower circulating levels, during breakdown of bone, osteoclasts release calcium into blood and increase circulating levels.

Homeostasis ofcalcium ion concentration essential for the following:



Bone formation, remodeling and repair, blood clotting, transmission of nerve impulses, maintenance of skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction

Parathyroidhormone-

primary regulator of calcium homeostasis, stimulates osteoclasts to initiate breakdown of bone matrix and increase blood calcium levels, increases renal absorption of calcium from urine, stimulates vitamin D synthesis

Calcitonin-

protein hormone produced in the thyroid gland, it’s produced in response to high blood calcium levels, stimulates bone deposition by osteoblasts, inhibits osteoclast activity, far less important in homeostasis of blood calcium levels that is parathyroid hormone

Other mechanisms:


Growth hormone increases bone growth, thus reducing blood calcium. Serotonin inhibits osteoblast activity, thus increases blood calcium

Osteogenesis-

development of bone from small cartilage or membrane model to adult bone

Epiphysealplate is composed of four layers




“Resting cartilage cells-point of attachment joining the epiphysis to the shaft


Zone of proliferation-cartilage cells undergoing active mitosis, which causes the layer to thicken and the plate of increase in length

Zone of hypertrophy-older, enlarged cells undergoing degenerative changes associated with calcium deposition

Zone of calcification-dead or dying cartilage cells undergoing rapid calcification

Bones


grow in length and diameter by the combined action of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, osteoclasts enlarge the diameter of the medullary cavity, osteoblasts from the periosteum build new bone around the outside of the bone, mechanical stress, as from physical activity, strengthens bone
