  • Major functions of the skeletal system

    Support, protection, movement, mineral storage, blood cell production, and energy storage.

  • Components of the bone matrix

    Collagen fibers for flexibility

    Calcium phosphate for strength.

  • Intramembranous ossification

    Bone forms directly from mesenchymal tissue, mainly in flat bones like the skull.

  • Endochondral ossification

    Bone develops by replacing hyaline cartilage, typical in long bones.

  • Epiphyseal plate


    Growing (Children)

  • Epiphyseal line


    End of growth

  • Role of PTH in blood calcium regulation

    Increases blood calcium

    Stimulating osteoclasts to break down bone

  • Role of calcitonin in blood calcium regulation

    Lowers blood calcium

    Inhibiting osteoclast activity

  • Open fracture


    Breaks the skin.

  • Closed fracture


    Does not break the skin

  • Major stages of fracture healing

    Hematoma formation, fibrocartilaginous callus formation, bony callus formation, and bone remodeling.

  • Osteopenia

    A condition of reduced bone mass (pre-osteoporosis)

  • Osteoporosis

    Severe bone loss leading to fragile bones and increased fracture risk.

  • BLAST


    Builds bone → Osteoblast.

  • CYTE


    Mature/Maintains bone → Osteocyte.

  • CLAST


    Breaks down bone → Osteoclast.

  • Epi-


    Ends

  • Dia-


    Shaft

  • Peri-


    Around

  • Endo-


    Inside, within

  • Epithelial Line


    Finished growing

  • Epithelial Plate


    Growing - Hyaline Cartilage until adulthood

  • Compact bone


    Compact bone is dense and forms the outer layer.

  • Spongy bone


    Spongy bone is porous, found inside bones, and contains red marrow.

  • Major structures of a long bone

    Includes the epiphysis (ends), diaphysis (shaft), periosteum (outer covering), medullary cavity (inside shaft), and articular cartilage (covers ends).

  • Epiphysis


    Ends of long bone

  • Diaphysis


    Shaft of long bone

  • Periosteum


    Covers outer surface of bone

  • Periosteum - Osteogenic layer


    Cells for bone formation or bone break down

  • Periosteum - Fibrous layer


    DENSE IRREGULAR Connective Tissue, for the attachment of muscle tendons to bone

  • Endosteum


    Inner marrow lining

  • Articular Cartilage


    Cartilage on the outer surface of the epiphysis, where the bone forms a joint with another bone

  • Osteon


    Basic unit of compact bone

  • Scattered cells


    Osteocyte in lacunae

  • Matrix


    Calcium salt & Collagen fibers

  • Ground Substance


    Calcium phosphate and Calcium carbonate

  • Without calcium, bones would be


    Rubbery

  • Without collagen, bones would be


    Brittle

  • Calcium makes the bones


    Strong

  • Collagen makes the bone


    Flexible

  • Osteoprogenitor Cells are found where


    Endosteum and periosteum

    Mesenchymal stem cells -> osteoprogenitor cells -> osteoblasts

  • Osteoblasts


    Build bone

  • Osteocytes


    Maintain bone, mature bone cells

  • Osteoclasts


    Break down bone

  • Osteoblasts trapped in lacuna become what


    Osteocytes

  • Osteogenesis


    Bone formation

  • Ossification


    The process of replacing other tissues with bone

  • Calcification


    The process of depositing calcium salts

  • Forms of ossification


    Intramembranous ossification

    Endochondral ossification

  • Intramembranous Ossification


    Mesenchymal or fibrouse connective tissue

  • Endochondral Ossification


    Ossifies bones that originate as hyaline cartilage

  • Calcium homeostasis is maintained with


    the Calcitonin and Parathyroid hormone

  • Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)


    Increases blood calcium

    Stimulating osteoclasts activity

  • Calcitonin


    Decreases calcium ion levels in blood by

    Inhibiting osteoclasts activity

  • Greenstick fracture


    One side of shaft breaks the other side bends

    Common in children

  • Hematoma formation


    • Torn blood vessels

    hemorrhage

    • A mass of clotted blood

    (hematoma) forms at the

    fracture site

    • Site becomes swollen,

    painful, and inflamed

  • Cartilage callus forms (soft callus)


    • Fibrocartilage(soft callus)

    • Osteoblasts and fibroblasts

    migrate to the fracture

    • Fibroblasts secrete collagen

    fibers that connect broken

    bone ends

    • Osteoblasts begin forming

    spongy bone

  • Spongy Bone callus formation


    • New bone trabeculae appear in the soft callus

    • Soft callus converts into a bony (hard callus)

  • Remodeling: Compact Bone formation


    Compact bone is laid down to reconstruct shaft walls

  • Skin layers acronym (deep to superficial)
