Bones
Medullary cavity of bone
Principle location of blood formation
Axial Skeleton
-On long axis of body
- Skull, vertebrae, and bones attached to vertebrae, ribs and ventral connections of ribs and sternum
Appendicular Skeleton
Lone bone
Trabeculae
Epiphysis
Diaphysis
Metaphysis
Periosteum
Bone composition
Osteoblasts
-Deposition of Ca2+ into bone
-Differentiated bone forming cell responsible for producing bone matrix
-Secretes collagen, makes up osteoid
Osteoclasts
-Resorption of Ca2+ from bone
- Large, motile, multi-nucleated bone resorbing cells
- Precursors come from bone marrow and spleen
- Apart of the mononuclear phagocytic system
Ca2+ Deposition and Resorption
-Tightly controlled by hormones
-Osteoblasts and osteoclasts
- Guarantees a rapidly exchangeable pool
What is in the central canal of a bone
Osteoprogenitor cells
Osteocyte
Bone remodeling cycle
Uncoupled osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis
Leads to apoptotic osteoclast
Bone formation
Heteroplastic
In tissue other than skeleton (penis)
Endochondral
Intramembranous
Long bone growth
