Study Notes
Osseous Tissue
- A specialized connective tissue composed of cells and bone matrix (calcified extracellular material)
Bone Matrix
- Composed of 35% organic matter and 65% inorganic matter
- Inorganic matter: hydroxyapatite crystal, calcium hydroxyapatite, bicarbonate, citrate, magnesium, potassium, and sodium ions
- Organic matter: osteoid (non-calcified bone matrix) consisting of type I collagen, ground substance (GAGs, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins), osteocalcin, osteonectin, and osteopontin
Osteoblast
- Location: on the surface of bone matrix
- Structure: single layer of cuboidal cells
- Outcome: osteocytes and bone lining cells
- Function: produce organic components of the matrix (osteoid) and help with deposition of inorganic components
Osteocyte
- Structure: long thin processes, located in bone lacuna and bone canaliculus
- Function: maintain bone matrix
Osteoclast
- Location: resorption lacunae (or Howship lacunae)
- Structure: multinuclear large cell, 30-100µm, acidophilic cytoplasm
- Origin: fusion of bone marrow-derived monocytes
- Function: dissolve bone matrix
Periosteum and Endosteum
- Periosteum: outer layer and inner layer on the external surface of bone
- Endosteum: delicate matrix of collagen fibers on the internal surface of cavities
Bone Types
- Gross observation: compact bone and cancellous bone
- Under microscope: both show same basic histological structure (lamellar bone)
Lamellar Bone
- Matrix existing as discrete sheets
- Collagen fibers arranged in lamellae
- Typical organization:
- Osteon (Haversian system)
- Interstitial lamellae
- Circumferential lamellae
Osteon (Haversian System)
- Long, cylindrical structure parallel to the long axis of the bone
- 4-20 Haversian lamellae around a central canal
- Outer boundary: the cement line wraps
- Communicated by transverse or oblique Volkmann’s canal
Interstitial Lamellae
- Among the intact osteons
- Irregular lamellae
- Remaining lamellae of osteons
