412459133Skeletal SystemBones, Ligaments, Cartlage 1. Supports 2. Protects 3. movement 4. Mineral Storage (Ca+, others) 5. White / RBC production
412459134Cartilage and LigamentsConnective Tissue made of 3 Main Things 1. Specialized Cells 2. ExtraCellular Protein fibers 3. Ground Substance
412459135Specialized Cells1.Hyan Cartilage consists of specialized cells that produce a matrix surrounding the cells. 2. Chondrocyte
412459136Chondrocyte"Chondro" meaning Cartilage "Cyte" meaning cell Main cell in bone and cartilage
412459137Extracellular Protein FibersComposed of: 1. Collagen 2. Elastic Fibers 3. Reticular Fibers
412459138CollagenMost Common Relatively Straight *Tremendous Tensile Strength
412459139Collagen Elastic FibersWhen bent, will rebound to original position
412459140Collagen Reticular FibersBranched/interwoven resist forces in many different directions Help hold blood vessels and organs in place
412459141Collagen Ground Substancefills in the spaces between the cells and fibers 1. Matrix: extracellular protein fibers + Ground Substance 2. Chondrocytes: 3. Lacunae: space w/in matrix that houses Chondrocytes 4. Perichondrium: Fibrous membrane that surrounds cartilage
412459142Types of Cartilage1. Hyaline 2. Elastic 3. Fibrocartilage
412459143Hyaline Cartilagemost common type of cartilage 1. 40% of mass composed of collagen fibers 2. stiff, yet slightly flexible 3. reduces friction @ bones ends 4. Shock absorber 5. Find @ joint surfaces, trachael rings, costal cartilage.
412459144Elastic CartilageContains elastic Fibers 1. Stiff, yet more flexible 2. Rebounds to original position 3. Found in Ear
412459145Fibrocartilage1.very little ground substance 2.tremendous amount of collagen fiber 3.Extremely tough, yet durable 4.Important for shock absorption 5. Found in Intervertebral Discs
412459146BoneSimilar to cartilage in make-up 1. Matrix 2. Ground Substance 3. Fibers 4. Specialized Cells: Ostoblasts/ Osteocytes/ Osteoclasts/ Osteoprogenitors
412459147Bone Matrix1. Ground substance 2. Fibers
412459148Bone Ground SubstancesCa3(PO4)2 (Calcium Phosphate) + CaOH (Calcium Hydroxide) -> Hydroxyapatite 1. Allows for us to withstand compressive forces
412459149Bone FibersPredominantly collagen fibers make up about 1/3 the weight of the bone. 1. withstand tremendous impact forces 2. provide flexibility to bone, can bend some
412459150Bone Specialized Cells1. Osteoblasts 2. Osteocyte 3. Osteoclasts 4. Osteoprogenitor
412459151OsteoblastsImmature Bone cell *secretes bony matrix
412459152Osteocytemature bone cell *surrounded by bony matrix
412459153Osteoclastsmultinucleated immunocompetent cell Releases Ca+ into bood
412459154Osteoprogenitormakes osteoblasts
412467870Compact Bone (Diaphysis)Very Dense, forming outer layer of bone. 1. Osteons 2. Interstitial Lamellae 3. Canal of Volkmann 4. Periosteum
412467871OsteonsFunctional unit of the compact bone, Cylindrical shaped. 1. Haversian System. Has central system (haversian canal) 2. blood vessels 3. Lamellae 4. Osteocytes between lamellae 5. Canaliculi
412467872Interstitial LamellaeLie between osteons and have no blood supply
412467873Canal of VolkmannHow Haversian canals communicate with outside veins and canals. Always run transverse
412467874PeriosteumOuter layer of bone 1.Outer layer is fibrous(collagen). Protects bone / separates it from other tissues 2. Inner Layer is a cellular layer. Involved in regeneration/remodeling.
412467875Spongy Bone (Epiphysis)Forms a network of struts and plates within central region. 1. No Osteons located here 2. Interstitial lamellae are called Trabeculae. 3. Help reduce weight of skeleton 4. Protect and house red/yellow marrow
412467876Long Bone Structure1.Diaphysis - compact bone 2. Epiphysis - spongy bone 3. Epiphyseal Plate - Hyaline Cartilage growth plates 4. Medullary Cavity - filled w/yellow marrow 5. Red marrow -> blood Yellow Marrow -> Adipose
412467877Bone Ossification1. Enchondral Ossification (Cartilage to Bone) 2. Intramembranous Ossification (Connective Tissue to Bone)
412467878Enchondral Ossification (Cartilage to Bone)Begins w/cartilage formation as an embryo, how long bones develop. 1. Chondrocytes enlarge and their lacunae enlarge with them, reducing the matrix to small struts(trabeculae) that begin to calcify 2. blood vessels encircle diaphysis and cartilage cells are converted to osteoblasts which cause calcification of the diaphysis. 3. blood vessels pierce diaphysis growing into the medulla, allowing fibroblasts to migrate into medulla where they are converted to osteoblasts. 4. Capillaries and osteoblasts move to the perimeter to replace cartilage tissue
412467879Intramembranous Ossification (Connective Tissue to Bone)1. Osteoblasts cluster in deep layers of the dermis, secrete a matrix that mineralizes through crystalization of calcium salts. 2. Bone grows outward from center in structs called spicules 3. Spaces between struts fill in with calcium
