Study Notes

Endochondral Ossification

  • Mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondroblasts, forming cartilage model
  • Osteoblasts form bone collar around diaphysis
  • Chondrocytes in center enlarge and calcify, dying to leave calcified matrix
  • Blood vessels invade calcified cartilage, bringing osteoblasts to build new bone
  • Primary ossification center forms in diaphysis
  • Secondary ossification centers form in epiphyses
  • Cartilage continues to grow at epiphyseal plates until final bone length
  • Osteoblasts and osteoclasts remodel bone throughout life

Osteoporosis

  • Decrease in peak bone mass due to excessive bone reabsorption and inadequate new bone formation
  • Reduced estrogen increases bone reabsorption
  • Decreased calcium metabolism, due to vitamin D deficiency
  • Risk factors include caffeine, alcohol, smoking, low calcium intake, being a thin woman
  • Causes fractures in lower spine, hip, and wrist
  • Treatments include good nutrition, exercise, calcium intake, weight bearing exercises, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol intake

Connective Tissues

  • Loose Connective Tissues:

    • Areolar tissue: Inflammation, strong, looks like a mess
    • Adipose tissue: Food fuel, stores heat, looks like cute cells
    • Reticular tissue: Supports other cell types, jell-like, has white blood cells

  • Dense Connective Tissues:

    • Dense Regular: Attaches muscle to bone, smooth and wavy
    • Dense Irregular: Provides strength, wavy in all directions
    • Elastic: Allows recoil after stretching, tiny waves

  • Fluid Connective Tissues:

    • Blood: Transports
    • Lymph: Eliminates stuff

Epithelial Tissues

  • Simple Squamous: Diffusion, filtration (lung alveoli, blood vessel linings)
  • Stratified Squamous: Protection (skin, mouth, esophagus)
  • Simple Cuboidal: Secretion, absorption (kidney tubules, glandular ducts)
  • Simple Columnar: Absorption, secretion (stomach, intestines)
  • Transitional: Stretches (bladder, uterus)
  • Pseudostratified Columnar: Respiratory tract (has cilia, cells are long)

Muscle Tissues

  • Skeletal: Striated, long cylindrical, multinucleated, voluntary, attached to skeleton
  • Cardiac: Striated, one nucleus, branching, involuntary, intercalated discs (heart)
  • Smooth: Non-striated, one nucleus, involuntary, found in hollow organs.

Nervous System

  • Neuroglia: Supports and protects neurons
  • Neurons: Longest individual cells in the body, extend from spinal cord to toes.

Bone Tissue

  • Compact Bone: Contains osteons and perforating canals.
    • Osteons: Structural units, contain blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels
    • Lamellae: Concentric rings of bone matrix
  • Spongy Bone: lightweight, provides structural support
  • Medullary Cavity: Hollow space in diaphysis containing bone marrow

Joints

  • Fibrous: No synovial cavity, dense irregular connective tissue (immovable, skull sutures)
  • Cartilaginous: No synovial cavity, cartilage (slightly movable, intervertebral discs)
  • Synovial: Synovial cavity, dense irregular connective tissue (freely movable, elbow, knee)
  • Different joints:
    • Hinge: flexion/extension (elbow, knee)
    • Pivot: Uniaxial rotation (radioulnar joint, atlantoaxial joint)
    • Condylar: Bi-axial (metacarpophalangeal joints)
    • Saddle: Bi-axial (carpometacarpal joint of thumb)
    • Ball and Socket: Multiaxial (shoulder, hip)
    • Plane: Non-axial (intercarpal, intertarsal joints)

Other Information

  • Inflammation: Process where damaged area is isolated, damaged cells and foreign invaders are cleaned up. Familiar signs are swelling, redness, warmth, and pain.
  • Osteoblasts: Bone-forming cells; contribute to ossification, bone growth and repair
  • Osteoclasts: Bone-resorbing cells.
  • Epiphyseal plate: Allows for longitudinal bone growth
  • Ossification Zones: Resting zone, Proliferation zone, Hypertrophic zone, Calcification zone, Ossification zone (new bone formation)
  • Tissue differences: Hyaline cartilage is found before bones are deposited, whereas compact bone contains osteons
  • Differences: Epiphysis (ends of long bones and growth plates); Diaphysis (shaft, and contains marrow); Metaphysis (between epiphysis and diaphysis)
  • Soft Spots: regions of fibrous connective tissue before bone ossification in infants.
  • Medullary Cavity: inner hollow part of long bones.
  • Periosteum: Tough connective tissue sheath surrounding bone, with blood vessels and nerves. It is involved in attachment, repair, and bone growth.
