Study Notes
Long Bone Structure
- Diaphysis: The shaft of a long bone; composed of compact bone tissue on the outside.
- Epiphysis: The ends of a long bone; composed of spongy bone tissue.
- Articular cartilage: Covers the epiphyses; reduces friction.
- Epiphyseal plate: Growth site between diaphysis and epiphysis.
- Medullary cavity: Center of the diaphysis; contains red or yellow marrow.
- Periosteum: Membrane around the bone's outer surface.
- Endosteum: Membrane lining the medullary cavity.
Bone Marrow
- Found in bone cavities (medullary cavity, epiphyses, interior of other bones).
- Red marrow: Location of blood-forming cells.
- Yellow marrow: Primarily composed of fat.
- In newborns, most bones contain red marrow.
- In adults, red marrow in the diaphysis is replaced by yellow marrow; most red marrow is found in flat bones and the long bones of the femur and humerus.
Bone Tissue Structure
- Compact bone tissue: Located in the outer part of the diaphysis (long bones) and thinner surfaces of other bones; structural unit is the osteon.
- Osteon: Contains lamellae, lacunae, canaliculi, central canal, and osteocytes.
- Lacunae: Spaces between lamellae.
- Canaliculi: Tiny canals that transport nutrients and remove waste.
- Central canal: Center of the osteon.
- Spongy (Cancellous) bone tissue: Located at the epiphyses of long bones and the center of other bones; contains trabeculae (interconnecting rods) and spaces containing marrow; lacks osteons.
Bone Cells
- Osteoblasts: Form bone and participate in repair and remodeling.
- Osteocytes: Maintain bone matrix; develop from osteoblasts.
- Osteoclasts: Involved in bone repair and remodeling by removing existing bone (bone resorption).
Bone Formation (Ossification)
- Ossification: Bone formation by osteoblasts.
- Intramembranous ossification: Bone formation within connective tissue membranes (e.g., skull bones).
- Endochondral ossification: Bone formation within hyaline cartilage.
- Both processes result in compact and spongy bone.
Intramembranous Ossification
- Osteoblasts deposit bone matrix on connective tissue fibers, forming trabeculae.
- Begins in ossification centers, radiating outward.
- Multiple centers fuse as bones mature.
- Trabeculae undergo remodeling and may be replaced by compact bone.
Endochondral Ossification
- Bone formation within a cartilage model.
- Primary ossification center: Bone formation in the diaphysis of a long bone.
- Secondary ossification center: Bone formation in the epiphysis.
- Steps:
- Chondroblasts build a cartilage model.
- Cartilage model calcifies.
- Osteoblasts invade calcified cartilage, forming a primary ossification center in the diaphysis.
Bone Growth and Remodeling
- Endochondral bone growth occurs at the epiphyseal plate.
- Bone remodeling involves removal of existing bone by osteoclasts and deposition of new bone by osteoblasts.
- Remodeling occurs in all bones for reshaping, repair, stress adjustment, and calcium regulation.
Bone Repair
- Stages:
- Hematoma formation (blood clot).
- Callus formation (fibrous network).
- Cartilage callus formation followed by osteoblast invasion and cancellous bone formation (4-6 weeks).
- Remodeling of cancellous bone into compact and spongy bone.
