Study Notes
Endocrine Function and Bone Development
- Sound conduction enables the perception of vibrations essential for hearing.
- Hormones are produced from precursors involved in growth and brain development.
- Bone ossification begins before birth, starting around the third month of fetal life and completing by age 25.
- Three ossification centers contribute to bone development in late adolescence.
Types of Ossification
-
Intramembranous Ossification:
- Involves flat bones, primarily in the skull, starting as fibrous membranes.
- Osteoblasts secrete osteoid to form a network of trabecular bone.
- Hydroxyapatite deposits mineralize the bone matrix.
-
Endochondral Ossification:
- Replaces cartilage with bone, starting with a cartilage model.
- Osteoblasts differentiate and form bone within this cartilage framework.
Bone Structure and Composition
- Compact bone constitutes about 80% of skeletal mass, appearing solid macroscopically.
- Cancellous or spongy bone accounts for around 20%, characterized by a lighter and more flexible structure, containing red bone marrow.
- Bone cells consist of:
- Osteoblasts: Responsible for forming new bone and producing osteoid.
- Osteocytes: Mature bone cells that support communication and maintain bone matrix.
- Osteoclasts: Large cells that break down bone tissue, aiding in remodeling and maintaining bone shape.
Matrix of Bone
- Composed of:
- Inorganic Components: 40-50% mineral salts, primarily calcium phosphate, key to bone hardness.
- Organic Components: 30-40% collagen that provides tensile strength.
- Water: Approximately 20%, contributing to bone hydration and flexibility.
Structural Unit of Bone
- The osteon or Haversian system serves as the basic structural and functional unit of bone.
- Each osteon contains a central Haversian canal which houses blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels.
Bone Marrow and Regeneration
- Bone marrow is crucial for the production of red and white blood cells and platelets, with old red blood cells being destroyed at a rate of approximately two million per second.
- Bone shows significant growth capacity during the first two decades of life and has regenerative abilities throughout life.
