Study Notes
Long Bones
- Examples include tibia, phalanges, and humerus.
- Long bones are characterized by a shaft and two ends.
Functions of Cartilage
- Supports soft tissues and provides a gliding surface at joints.
- Serves as a precursor for the formation of most bones.
Interstitial Growth of Cartilage
- Involves the production of new cells and matrix, allowing cartilage to expand in size.
Osteons and Lamellae
- Leftover parts of osteons that have undergone partial resorption are known as interstitial lamellae.
- Concentric rings of bone are termed lamellae.
Bone Cell Functions
- Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption.
- Osteoblasts produce osteoid, contributing to bone formation.
- Osteocytes, mature bone cells, sense mechanical stress and gravitational forces.
Stem Cells in Bone
- Osteoprogenitor cells found in bone marrow serve as stem cells for bone development.
Types of Cartilage
- Hyaline cartilage connects ribs to the sternum.
- Fibrocartilage composes the pubic symphysis.
- Elastic cartilage is found in the auricle of the ear.
Fracture Repair
- Chondroblasts, osteoblasts, fibroblasts, and osteoclasts are all involved in repairing fractures.
Bone Composition
- The primary organic component of bone is collagen.
Bone Classification
- Carpal bones are classified as short bones.
- Scapulae are flat bones.
- Femurs are long bones.
- Vertebrae are irregular bones.
Osteopenia and Osteoporosis
- Both conditions occur due to an imbalance between bone deposition and resorption.
Growth of Cartilage
- Appositional growth occurs at the inner edge of the perichondrium.
- Interstitial growth results in the creation of chondroblasts.
Vitamins in Bone Health
- Vitamin D enhances absorption of minerals, promoting bone matrix deposition.
- Vitamin C stimulates collagen production.
- Vitamin A encourages osteoblast proliferation and matrix production.
Structure of Short Bones
- The exterior of short bones is composed of compact bone, whereas the interior consists of spongy bone.
Compact Bone Structure
- External circumferential lamellae are located just beneath the periosteum.
- Blood vessels and nerves in compact bone travel through the central canal, with perforating canals connecting different osteons.
Spongy Bone
- Spongy bone does not contain osteons and is structured with trabeculae made of parallel lamellae.
Periosteum Attachment
- The periosteum attaches to compact bone via Sharpey fibers.
Growth of Long Bones
- The epiphyseal plate's fusion into an epiphyseal line signals the cessation of growth in length, not continued growth at a slower rate.
