Term
What are the Three Types of Cartilage?
Definition
Hyaline, Fibrocartilage, and Elastic Cartilage
Term
Hyaline Cartilage
Definition
Most abundant type, provides support through flexibility and resilience; locations: trachea, articular cartilage, epiphyseal plate, fetal skeleton, costal cartilage, and nose
Term
Fibrocartilage
Definition
Contains thick collagen fibers, acts as a shock absorber; intervertebral discs ,menisci of the knee, and pubic symphysis
Term
Elastic Cartilage
Definition
Stretch; contains highly branched elastic fibers; provides flexibility; located: epiglottis and aurical of the ear
Term
Characteristics of Cartilage
Definition
Semirigid, weaker than bone; flexible and resilient due to elastic fibers and water content; avascular (receives nutrients through diffusion, so doesn't heal well)
Term
Functions of Cartilage
Definition
Support soft tissues, articular surfaces for joints, and provide a modal for endochonrial bone formation
Term
Structual Parts of Cartilage
Definition
Chondroblasts, chondrocytes, ECM, and perichondrium
Term
Chondroblasts
Definition
immature cartilage cells; produce the matrix of the cartilage
Term
Chondrocytes
Definition
mature cartilage cells; reside in lacunae and support
Term
Perichondrium
Definition
Made of dense connective tissue, it is the layer around the cartilage, and it provides support and protection
Term
Bone
Definition
osseous connective tissue, with a calcified extracellular matrix (calcium phosphate)
Term
Functions of Bone
Definition
Support and protect (creates frame work for body and protects from trauma), movement (serves as attachment sites for muscles), hemopoiesis (formation of blood in red bone marrow), and storage of minerals and energy reserves (calcium phosphate and yellow bone marrow (fat))
Term
Long Bones
Definition
longer than wide/columnar bones, contain diaphysis and epiphyses; egs.: humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals, phalanges, femur, tibia, fibula, and metatarsals
Term
Short Bones
Definition
more square; carpals, tarsals and sesamoid (i.e., made by friction bones) bones (patella)
Term
Flat Bones
Definition
Skull, scapulae, sternum and ribs
Term
Irregular Bones
Definition
vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, os coxa, ethmoid, and sphenoid (weird projections
Term
Structure of long bones (practice on APR)
Definition
compact bone, spongy bone, epiphysis, diaphysis, metaphysis, articular cartilate, medullary cavity, endosteum, periosteum, perforating fibers, nutrient foramen (review the slides
Term
Osteoprogenitor Cells
Definition
Bone cell, stem cells derived from mesenchyme that becomes osteoblasts (cell before bone creation)
Term
Osteoblasts
Definition
Bone cell, immature osteocytes that BUILD bone by secreting osteoid (organic part of the bone matrix); decreases calcium blood levels
Term
Osteocytes
Definition
Mature bone cells that maintain bone matrix; reside in lacunae
Term
Osteoclasts
Definition
Cells that CONSUME bone (bone resorption); phagocytic cells using hydrochloric acid and lysosomes; increase blood calcium levels
Term
Compact Bone
Definition
all bone on outeredge/superficial bone tissue; also called cortical bone, solid, relatively dense; lined by periosteum; found in superficial regions of the bone; contains osteons
Term
Spongy Bone
Definition
Deep bone tissue; also called trabecular bone, porous, lined by endostium; found in the deeper
Term
Osteon (Haversion system)
Definition
basic structural and functional unit of compact bone; runs parallel to the diaphyses
Term
Central Canal (Osteon)
Definition
Haversian canal; cylindrical channel in center of osteon, blood vessels and nerves supply bone
Term
Osteocytes
Definition
housed in lacunae, found between adjacent concentric lamellae; mature bone cells that maintain
Term
Concentric Lamellae
Definition
rings of osseus) (bone CT, surround, and form bulk of osteon; connected by fibers
Term
Lacunae
Definition
cavities that house osteocytes
Term
canaliculi
Definition
branches; connect neighboring lacunae; allow nutrients, minerals, gasses, and wastes to travel between the central canal and osteocytes
Term
Perforating canals (Volksmann's canals)
Definition
connect blood and nerve supply to the central canal (perpendicular)
Term
Structures of compact bone
Definition
osteon, central canal, concentric lamellae, osteocytes, lacunae, canaliculi, and perforating canals
Term
Structures of Spongy Bone
Definition
Trabeculae, parallel lamellae, osteocytes within lacunae, and canaliculi
Term
Trabeculae
Definition
Main structural and functional component; form crisscrossing bars and plates for strength
Term
Parallel lamellae
Definition
flat layers of lamellae in spongy bone
Term
Osteogenesis
Definition
formation of bone, two types: intramembranous and endochonral ossification
Term
Intramembranous Ossification
Definition
taking a membrane and turning it into bone (mesenchme). When we are a baby, skull must be membrane so it can grow faster; everything clavicle and up was formed this way; bone growth within a membrane (mesenchyme); forms flat bones of the skull, some facial bones, mandible, and clavicle
Term
Endochondral ossification
Definition
Turning cartilage into bone (hyaline cartilage); within cartilage; turns fetal framework of hyaline cartilage into bone; formation of most bones; primary ossification center is in the diaphysis, and the secondary ossification center is in the epiphysis
Term
How Endochondral ossification works
Definition
fetal hyaline cartilage model develops, cartilage calcifies, and a periosteal bone collar forms, the primary ossification center forms in the diaphysis (first major center of bone formation), secondary ossification center form int he epiphysis; bone replaces cartilage, except the articular cartilage and epiphyseal plates; epiphyseal plates ossify and form epiphyseal lines
Term
How Intramembranous Ossification works
Definition
Ossification centers form within thickened regions of mesenchyme; osteoid undergoes calcification; woven bone and its surrounding periosteum form; lamellar bone replaces woven bone, as compact bone and spongy bone form
Term
Appositional Growth
Definition
Endochondral ossification, occurs within the periosteum, lays down external circumferential lamellae; like tree ring growth (outer growth)
Term
Intertitial growth
Definition
increase in bone's growth length, starts in medullary cavity of diaphysis, hardening and stacking of cartilage into bone
Term
Interstitial growth (length)
Definition
1. chondroblasts near epiphyseal plate multiply; epiphysis is pushed away from diaphysis 2. chondrocytes enlarge; matrix calcifies; 3. chondrocytes die and disintergrate 4. remodeling by osteoclasts (lay cartilage on growth plate
Term
Simple fracture
Definition
bone doesn't pierce the skin
Term
Open or compound fracture
Definition
Bone pierces the skin
Term
Stress fracture
Definition
thin break from repetitive loads; lots of repeated stress, not sudden trauma
Term
Pathological fracture
Definition
disease weakens bones; not one moment of trauma; disease weakens bone, so breaks for no reason
Term
Fracture Repair
Definition
Step 1: fracture hematoma forms; Step 2: fibrocartilage (soft) callus forms--stabilize; Step 3: hard (bony) callus forms; Step 4: bone remodeled
Term
Osteomalacia
Definition
looks normal laying down, but bones bow out under pressure because remains cartilage; called rickets in children: soft bones, leads to bowed legs; vitamin D deficiency; Calcium deficiency
Term
Osteoporosis
Definition
Excessive bone resorption--allows transformation from hyaline cartilage into bone; excessive bone resorption; aged and post menopause
Term
Osteitis
Definition
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are out of control, end up areas of extra thick and extra thin bone; also called Paget's disease; bone is unstable and immature
