Study Notes
Bone Structure and Function
- Osteoclasts: Cells that break down bone for remodeling.
- Short Bones: Examples include carpals and metacarpals; these are a type of bone.
- Connective Tissue: Holds bones together, enabling movement and stability. This is a type of tissue.
- Osteoblasts: Primary building blocks, providing structure and support. Bone-building cells depositing minerals and forming tissue.
Bone Development and Growth
- Marrow Function: Crucial for blood cell production and energy storage.
- Secondary Ossification: Osteoblasts replace cartilage with bone from the center outward.
- Cartilage: Flexible tissue cushioning joints and providing structure.
- Mature Bone: Reaches adult form but continues to remodel.
- Primary Ossification: Bone formation continues at ends, forming growth plates.
Bone Types
- Short Bones: Example includes vertebrae.
- Irregular Bones: Not easily categorized into the other main types. These are unique shapes, such as vertebrae.
- Long Bones: Example includes femur and humerus.
- Flat Bones: Example includes the scapula. These are generally thin and flat.
Bone Tissue
- Yellow Marrow: Produces red blood cells in children; stores fat in long bone cavities.
- Compact Bone: Outer layer providing strength and protection; dense bone.
- Spongy Bone: Bone formation that continues at ends, forming growth plates; porous bone.
- Cartilage Model: Embryonic bones beginning as cartilage models.
Bone Remodeling and Repair
- Bone Density: May decrease with age.
- Bone Growth and Repair: Bones grow, repair, and adapt to stress; dynamic structure.
- Bone Healing: Bones heal themselves through regeneration and are alive and constantly changing; self-repair.
- Bone Strength: Strengthens in response to physical activity; dynamic structure. This adaptability.
- Intramembranous Ossification: One method of bone development, important in bone remodeling.
Bone Classifications
- Axial Skeleton: Comprises skull, spine, ribcage, and limbs attached to it. It is the central axis of the body.
- Appendicular Skeleton: Includes limbs; attached to the axial skeleton.
- Primary Ossification: Bone formation continues at ends, forming growth plates.
- Secondary Ossification: Osteoblasts replace cartilage with bone from the center outward. This is a type of bone development.
