number of bones in adults
206
what is in each bone
bone tissue, dense regular collagenous tissue, dense irregular connective tissue, bone marrow
functions of skeletal system
protection, mineral storage and acid-base homeostasis, blood cell formation, fat storage, movement, support
minerals that bone stores
calcium, phosphorus and magnesium salts
what are the minerals used for
the minerals are electrolytes, acids, and bases in the blood that are crtitical for electrolyte and acid-base maintenance
site of hematopoiesis
red bone marrow
where is fat stored
yellow bone marrow
yellow bone marrow contents
adipocytes and store triglycerides
how is movement done
when muscles contract they pull the bones which generates movement around a joint
long bones
longer than wide, bones of the limbs
short bones
as long as wide, wrist and ankle bones
flat bones
thin and broad, skull and pelvis bones
irregular bones
irregular shape, vertebrae
sesamoid bones
small, flat, oval shaped bones located within tendons, the kneecap
periosteum
outer dense irregular connective tissue membrane with blood vessels and nerves
perforating fibers
collagen anchors that penetrate into bone matrix to attach the periosteum
diaphysis
shaft of the bone with a medullary cavity
medullary cavity
lined by endosteum and filled with marrow
epiphysis
ends of long bone, filled with red marrow, covered with articular cartilage (made of hyaline cartilage)
compact bone
hard dense outer bone that resists linear compression and twisting forces
spongy bone
inner framework that resists forces in many directions, place for bone marrow to reside
epiphyseal lines
whats left of an epiphyseal plate, a line of hyaline cartilage actively growing in children
structure of short, flat, irregular and sesamoid bones
share similarities with long bones but have fewer structures
spongy bone in flat bones
diploe
air filled spaces called sinuses
in some flat and irregular bones of the skull to make the bones lighter
blood supply to short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid bones
provided by vessels in periosteum that penetrate bone
blood supply to long bones
from periosteum and 1 or 2 nutrient arteries
nutrient arteries
enter through a small hole in the diaphysis called the nutrient foramen to supply the internal structures of the long bone
red bone marrow
network of reticular fibers supporting islands of hematopoietic cells, infants have mostly red bone marrow becuase of rapid growth rate
inorganic matrix of bone
65% of bones total weight, calcium salts and phosphorus as part of hydroxyapatite crystals
hydroxyapatite crystals function
give bone its strength and ability to resist compression
other components of inorganic matrix
bicarbonate potassium, magnesium, sodium salts
organic matrix of bone
35% of bones total weight, protein fibers (collagen), bone specific proteins (osteocalcin)
collagen function in bones
helps bone resist torsion and tensile forces, aligns with hydroxyapatite crystals to enhance bone hardness
torsion
twisting
tensile
pulling or stretching
osteocalcin function
binds to calcium ions and hydroxyapatite crystals to organize bones inorganic matrix
glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans function
draw water out of the blood vessels and cells to help the ECM resist compression
glycoproteins function
bind to both hydroxyapatite crystals and bone cells to bind them together
dynamic tissue
new bone is continually being formed as older bone is broken down
osteoblasts
build bone and matures into osteocytes
osteocytes
maintain bone
osteoclasts
break down bone
where are osteoblasts derived from
osteogenic cells
osteoblasts composition
cubodial to columnar cells in the inner periosteum and endosteum
osteoblasts function
perform the process of bone deposition by secreting organic matrix and assiting in formation of inorganic matrix
osteocytes composition
osteoblasts surround themselves with matrix and become trapped in a cavity called a lacuna
osteocytes function
secrete chemicals to maintain the ECM, recruit osteoblasts to build areas of bone under tension
osteoclasts compostion
large, multinucleate cells with ruffled border, derived from fusion of cells formed in the bone marrow
location of osteoclasts
internal or external surfaces of bone
osteoclasts function
bone resorption ( breaking down bone ECM)
Bone resorption
osteoclasts secrete hydrogen ions that dissolve inorganic matrix , secrete enzymes that break down organic matrix
what do osteoclasts deliver to the blood
minerals, amino acids, sugars
units of compact bone
osteons or haversion systems
unit of spongy bone
organized into branching "ribs" of bone called trabeculae
concentric lamellae
rings of very thin layers of bone, 4 to 20 in osteons, collagen fibers of adjacent lamellae run in opposite directions
lamellae function
resist twisting and bending forces
central canal
contains blood vessels and nerves, lined by endosteum
lacunae
small cavities between lamellae filled with ECF, 20,000-30,000 found in each cubic millimeter of bone
canaliculi
tiny canals that connect lacunae, filled with think cytoplasmic extensions of osteocytes that contact each other through gap junctions
how are osteons connected
interstitial lamellae internally and circumferential lamellae in the inner and outer rings that strengthen bone
perforating canals
connect central canals of neighboring osteons and carry blood vessels from the periosteum to the central canals
trabeculae
covered with endosteum, contain concentric lamellae with lacunae and canaliculi housing osetocytes
trabeculae blood supply
from blood vessels in bone marrow
