Study Notes
- Bone is a specialized type of connective tissue with a calcified extracellular matrix, supporting and protecting vital organs and structures, and acting as a calcium and phosphate storage site.
- Bone structure consists of bone matrix and periosteum, endosteum, and bone cells.
- Bone matrix is composed of inorganic and organic portions, with hydroxyapatite crystals, collagen (type I and V), and other proteins.
- Periosteum is a noncalcified connective tissue covering bone externally, with an outer fibrous layer and an inner cellular layer containing osteoprogenitor cells.
- Endosteum is a thin specialized connective tissue lining the marrow cavities, providing osteoblasts for bone growth and repair.
- Bone cells include osteocytes, osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, and bone-lining cells.
- Osteocytes are mature bone cells located in lacunae, extending processes into canaliculi for nutrient exchange.
- Bone is vascularized by blood vessels that penetrate the matrix through Haversian and perforating canals, and by the endosteum.
- Mature bone is largely composed of cylindrical osteons or Haversian systems, with concentric lamellae of bone matrix surrounding a central canal.
- Immature bone, also known as woven bone or osteoid, does not display an organized lamellated appearance and is more cellular and randomly arranged compared to mature bone.
- Bone plays a role in calcium homeostasis by synthesizing new matrix and participating in matrix degradation.
- The text suggests that the reader should consider the differences between mature and immature bone and lamellar and non-lamellar bone.
