    Study Notes

    Functions of Bones

    • Provide structural support to the body, enabling movement and maintaining posture.
    • Protect vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and brain from injury.
    • Store essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus, regulating their release into the bloodstream.
    • Produce blood cells within the bone marrow, a process known as hematopoiesis.

    Tissue Type

    • Bone tissue is classified as a specialized form of connective tissue, characterized by a solid matrix.

    Cells in Bone Resorption

    • Osteoclasts are the primary cells involved in the resorption of bone tissue, breaking down old bone material and releasing minerals back into the bloodstream.

    Internal Structure of Bone Tissue

    • Bone tissue exhibits a complex internal structure composed of an outer dense layer known as compact bone and an inner spongy layer known as cancellous or trabecular bone.
    • The structure also includes osteons, or Haversian systems, which are microscopic cylindrical structures that provide strength and contain blood vessels.

    Contributions of Osteoblasts and Osteocytes

    • Osteoblasts are responsible for bone formation, synthesizing and secreting the bone matrix, and eventually transforming into osteocytes.
    • Osteocytes maintain bone tissue and communicate with other bone cells to regulate bone remodeling and mineral content within the bones.

    International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Associations

    • Note: Matching locations, terms, and roles to their IUPAC associations requires specific options that are not provided; they need to be identified for accurate matching.
