Study Notes

Bone Structure and Types

  • Endosteum: Membrane lining the inside of bone cavities.
  • Compact Bone: Dense and smooth bone comprising two thin plates, typically found in flat bones.
  • Irregular Bones: Bones with atypical shapes, such as vertebrae.
  • Diaphysis: The shaft of a long bone.
  • Articular Cartilage: Cushions the ends of long bones and absorbs stress.
  • Epiphysis: The ends of long bones.
  • Short Bones: Cube-shaped bones located in the wrist and ankles.
  • Periosteum: Membrane that covers and protects the exterior of bones.
  • Diploe: Spongy bone located inside flat bones.

Bone Growth and Development

  • Epiphyseal Lines: Represent the "growth plate" of long bones.
  • Lamella: Collagen-based matrix tubes that bear weight and surround canals.
  • Volkmann's Canal: Canals perpendicular to central canals that carry blood vessels and nerves.
  • Appositional Bone Growth: Increase in bone thickness and diameter.
  • Intramembranous Ossification: Bone development from a fibrous membrane.
  • Longitudinal Bone Growth: Conversion of hyaline cartilage to bone at the epiphyseal growth plate for elongation.

Bone Cells and Composition

  • Canaliculi: Hair-like canals connecting lacunae and transporting bone material.
  • Hydroxyapatites: Inorganic salts that constitute 65% of bone mass, crucial for hardness and compression resistance.
  • Osteoclasts: Cells involved in bone resorption and appositional growth.
  • Osteocytes: Mature bone cells housed in small cavities called lacunae.
  • Lacunae: Small cavities in bone containing osteocytes.

Bone Fractures

  • Depressed Fracture: Bone portion displaced inward, typical in skull injuries.
  • Greenstick Fracture: Incomplete break; one side breaks while the other bends, common in children.
  • Displaced Fracture: Bone ends misaligned after a fracture.
  • Simple (Closed) Fracture: Bone fracture where skin remains intact.
  • Spiral Fracture: Ragged break due to excessive twisting, often seen in sports injuries.
  • Complete Fracture: Bone break extending completely through the bone.
  • Comminuted Fracture: Bone shattered into three or more pieces, often seen in older adults.
  • Compound Fracture: Fracture where bone penetrates the skin.

Bone Density and Health

  • Epiphyseal Line: Area containing the growth plate in bones.
  • Bone Marrow: Soft tissue found between trabeculae within the bone.
  • Yellow Bone Marrow: Fatty tissue contained in the medullary cavity.
  • Paget's Disease: Common bone disease affecting the elderly characterized by abnormal bone remodeling.
  • Nondisplaced Fracture: Fracture where bone ends remain aligned.
