Study Notes
Endochondral Bone Growth
- In the diaphyseal side of the epiphyseal plate, bone is produced
Bone Remodeling
- Bone remodeling involves removing existing bone and depositing new bone.
- Osteoclasts remove existing bone.
- Osteoblasts deposit new bone.
- Occurs in all bones.
- Responsible for bone shape changes, repair, stress adjustment, and calcium regulation.
Bone Repair
- Blood clot forms at the site of a broken bone.
- A fibrous network forms between bone fragments, called a callus.
- Cartilage model forms in the callus, followed by osteoblasts forming cancellous bone.
- This process continues for 4-6 weeks.
- Cancellous bone gets remodeled into compact and cancellous bone.
Compact Bone Tissue
- Found in the outer part of the diaphysis (long bones) and thinner surfaces of other bones.
- Osteon is the structural unit of compact bone.
- Osteon includes lamella, lacunae, canaliculus, central canal, and osteocytes.
- Lamella: Rings of bone matrix
- Lacunae: Spaces between lamella.
- Canaliculus: Tiny canals that transport nutrients and waste.
- Central canal: Center of osteon containing blood vessels.
Spongy (Cancellous) Bone Tissue
- Located at the epiphyses of long bones and the center of other bones.
- Has trabeculae, which are interconnected rods, and spaces containing marrow.
- Contains no osteons.
Bone Cells
- Osteoblasts: Form bone, repair, and remodel bone.
- Osteocytes: Maintain bone matrix and are formed from osteoblasts.
- Osteoclasts: Remove existing bone, contributing to repair and remodeling.
Bone Formation
- Ossification is bone formation by osteoblasts.
- Intramembranous ossification: Bone formation within connective tissue membranes (primarily in skull bones).
- Endochondral ossification: Bone formation inside hyaline cartilage.
- Both types result in compact and spongy bone.
Intramembranous Ossification
- Osteoblasts begin producing bone within connective tissue.
- Osteoblasts line up on connective tissue fibers.
- Bone matrix is deposited to form trabeculae.
- Ossification centers are areas where this process starts.
- Trabeculae radiate out from the centers.
- Two or more ossification centers exist in flat skull bones, eventually fusing as they expand.
- Constant remodeling of trabeculae, with some expanding or being replaced by compact bone.
Endochondral Ossification
- Bone formation within a cartilage model.
- The cartilage model is replaced by bone.
- Primary ossification center: Bone formation in the diaphysis of a long bone.
- Secondary ossification center: Bone formation in the epiphysis.
