Study Notes
Bone Composition and Development
-
Bone Cells:
- Osteoblasts: Form bone matrix
- Osteocytes: Maintain bone matrix, reside in lacunae
- Osteoclasts: Resorb and remodel bone
-
Bone Matrix:
- Inorganic Components: Hydroxyapatite crystals (calcium phosphate) – provide hardness
- Organic Components: Collagen fibers – provide flexibility and tensile strength
- Water: 20% of bone composition
-
Bone Development:
- Bone formation begins before birth and continues until ~25 years old
- Intramembranous Ossification: Bone from mesenchymal tissue (e.g., flat bones)
- Endochondral Ossification: Bone from cartilage template (e.g., long bones)
Different Types of Bones and Locations
-
Long Bones:
- Structure: Shaft (diaphysis) and two articular ends
- Location: Limbs (e.g., femur, tibia, humerus)
-
Short Bones:
- Structure: Cube-shaped
- Location: Wrist (carpals), ankle (tarsals)
-
Flat Bones:
- Structure: Thin, flat, often curved
- Location: Skull (e.g., parietal, occipital), sternum, ribs
-
Irregular Bones:
- Structure: Irregular shapes
- Location: Spine (vertebrae), pelvis
-
Sesamoid Bones:
- Structure: Embedded in tendons
- Location: Patella (kneecap)
General Functions of Bone Types
-
Long Bones: Provide strength, structure, and mobility; act as levers for movement with muscles
-
Short Bones: Provide stability and limited movement
-
Flat Bones: Protect internal organs, provide broad surfaces for muscle attachments
-
Irregular Bones: Protect spinal cord, provide support and flexibility
-
Sesamoid Bones: Reduce friction and modify pressure in tendons
Bone Healing and Factors
-
Stages of Bone Healing:
- Primary Callus Formation (fibrocartilaginous callus)
- Woven Bone Formation (dead bone replaced by spongy bone)
- Bony Secondary Callus (spongy replaced by lamellar bone)
- Bone Remodeling (regains original shape)
-
Factors Influencing Healing:
- Factors delaying healing: Infection, poor blood supply, tissue fragments, older age, certain medications (e.g., steroids), and poor host immune response.
- Factors improving healing: Limited movement, rest, pain management, proper nutrition, appropriate medical supervision, younger age
Common Bone Diseases
- Fractures: Broken bones (various types)
- Osteoporosis: Reduced bone density and strength
- Osteomyelitis: Bone infection, often bacterial
- Osteitis: Inflammation of bone
- Acromegaly: Excessive growth hormone leading to bone overgrowth
- Fibrous Dysplasia: Abnormal bone growth
- Rickets: Vitamin D deficiency in children causing poor bone formation
- Multiple Myeloma: Cancer of plasma cells in bone marrow
- Bone Cancer: Cancer affecting bones, sometimes secondary from other organs (e.g., breast, lung, prostate)
