    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.
