Study Notes
Bone Structure and Function
- Bones protect internal organs, like the skull protecting the brain and the vertebral column protecting the spinal cord.
- Bones store and release fat, primarily in yellow bone marrow.
- Bones produce blood cells, primarily in red bone marrow.
- Bones store and release minerals, including calcium and phosphorus.
- Bones facilitate movement by providing attachment points for muscles and acting as scaffolding for the body.
Bone Marrow
- Bone marrow is a connective tissue found inside most bones.
- Yellow bone marrow stores fat (adipocytes).
- Yellow bone marrow contains triglycerides used as energy for other tissues.
- Red bone marrow forms blood cells.
- Hematopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation in red bone marrow.
- Red bone marrow forms red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Parts of a Long Bone
- Epiphysis are the ends of a long bone that articulate with another bone to form a joint.
- Articular cartilage is hyaline cartilage that covers the epiphysis.
- Metaphysis is the area where the epiphyseal plate (growth plate) is located.
- Diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone.
- Periosteum is a tough, vascular covering of tissue that surrounds the bone.
- Medullary cavity is a hollow chamber within the diaphysis that contains marrow tissue.
Classification of Bones
- Long bones are cylindrical and longer than they are wide. Examples include the femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, ulna, radius, metacarpals, and phalanges.
- Short bones are cube-like, with approximately equal length, width, and thickness. Examples include carpals and tarsals.
- Flat bones are thin and curved. Examples include the sternum, ribs, scapulae, and cranial bones.
- Irregular bones have complex shapes. Examples include vertebrae and facial bones.
- Sesamoid bones are small and round bones embedded in tendons. Examples include the patella.
Compact vs. Spongy Bone
- Compact bone is dense and tightly packed.
- Compact bone has a continuous extracellular matrix.
- Diaphysis is an example of compact bone.
- Spongy bone is irregular, thin bony plates with projections.
- Spongy bone is designed to resist compressive forces.
- Spongy bone reduces bone weight.
- Epiphysis is an example of spongy bone.
Bone Matrix
- Osseous tissue is a connective tissue.
- Osseous tissue supports cells (osteocytes), providing structure and flexibility.
- Osseous tissue is composed of collagen fibers (1/3) and calcium and phosphate salt (2/3).
- Collagen provides flexibility and framework to bone formation.
- Calcium and phosphate salts provide hardness and strength to bone.
Bone Cells
- Osteogenic cells are stem cells that differentiate into osteoblasts.
- Osteoblasts form bone matrix by secreting collagen.
- Osteocytes maintain bone tissue.
- Osteoclasts resorb old bone.
Paget's Disease
- Paget's disease is a disorder of bone remodeling.
- Patients with Paget's Disease are usually over 40 years old.
- Overactive osteoclasts are a key factor.
- Bones are prone to fractures.
- Symptoms include pain, bone deformities, and frequent fractures.
Bone Fractures
- Open fractures involve the fractured bone breaking through the skin.
- Closed fractures keep the fractured bone within the skin, but it's not aligned.
- Reduction involves manipulating the bone back into alignment.
- Open reduction requires surgery, while closed reduction does not.
Fracture Repair
- Direct Bone Healing occurs when osteoblasts and osteoclasts directly join the broken bone ends.
- Indirect Bone Healing involves the formation of cartilaginous patches between broken bone ends before regeneration begins.
Bone Repair Discussion
- 8 Types of fractures were discussed (Spiral, Comminuted, Greenstick, Oblique, Transverse, Impacted, Depressed, and Complete). Specific details for each were not provided in the documents.
- Differences between internal and external calluses were not in the provided documents.
