    Study Notes

    Bone Structure and Classification

    • Axial Skeleton: Includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage; excludes the femur, clavicle, and scapula.
    • Appendicular Skeleton: Comprises limbs and girdles; includes the humerus, but not ribs, sternum, or vertebrae.
    • Patella: Classified as a sesamoid bone, important for knee joint function.
    • Flat Bones: Example is the parietal bone; provides protection and support.

    Bone Marrow and Cell Functions

    • Hemopoiesis: The process of blood cell production in bone marrow.
    • Red Bone Marrow: Typically found in the epiphyses of long bones in adults, involved in blood production.
    • Yellow Bone Marrow: Primarily used for fat storage; does not produce blood cells.

    Bone Cells

    • Osteoblasts: Responsible for bone formation; create new bone tissue.
    • Osteoclasts: Break down bone tissue, essential for bone remodeling and calcium resorption.
    • Osteocytes: Maintain bone tissue; reside in small cavities called lacunae.

    Cartilage and Bone Structure

    • Articular Cartilage: Covers the epiphysis of long bones, allowing smooth joint movement.
    • Periosteum: A dense connective tissue layer covering the external surface of bones, crucial for growth and repair.
    • Endosteum: Lines inner surfaces of bone including the medullary cavity, involved in bone growth and repair.

    Bone Formation and Growth

    • Ossification: The process of bone formation from cartilage; includes endochondral and intramembranous ossification.
    • Endochondral Ossification: Replaces hyaline cartilage with bone; important for long bone growth.
    • Appositional Growth: Increases bone thickness and is essential for strengthening.
    • Epiphyseal Plate: Involved in length growth of bones.

    Fracture Repair and Hormonal Regulation

    • Fracture Healing: Begins with hematoma formation, followed by fibrocartilaginous callus production and eventually a bony callus.
    • Parathyroid Hormone: Increases blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoclast activity when calcium is low.
    • Calcitonin: Inhibits osteoclast activity when calcium levels are high.

    Mineral Storage and Hematopoiesis

    • Lipids Storage: Yellow bone marrow in adults serves as storage for lipids.
    • Hematopoiesis: Primarily occurs in red bone marrow.

    Cell Anatomy and Functions

    • Ribosomes: Sites for protein synthesis within the cell.
    • Smooth vs. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Rough ER has ribosomes; involved in protein synthesis, whereas smooth ER produces lipids.
    • Golgi Apparatus: Functions in protein and lipid packaging and distribution.

    Cell Organelles

    • Mitochondria: Known as the powerhouse of the cell; responsible for ATP production.
    • Lysosomes: Contain enzymes for digesting waste and damaged organelles.

    Cellular Processes

    • Autolysis: Cell death initiated by the cell itself.
    • Osmosis: The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane, critical for maintaining cellular function.
