-long, cylindrical
2. Epiphyses
-proximal and distal ends of bone
3. Metaphyses
-contains the epiphyseal growth plate
-becomes epiphyseal line at 14 to 24
years old
4. Articular Cartilage

-reduces friction and absorbs shock
Structure of a Long Bone

Parts:
5. Periosteum
-surrounds the bone surface
-protects the bone, assist in fracture
repair and helps nourish bone tissue
6. Medullary Cavity
-hollow, cylindrical space which
contains yellow bone marrow and
numerous blood vessels
7. Endosteum
-lines the medullary cavity
-contains single layer of bone-forming
cells
Types of Cells in Bone Tissue
Types of cells in Bone Tissue
Osteoprogenitor cells
Osteocytes
-the only bone cells to undergo cell division
-mature bone cells
-resulting cells develop into osteoblasts
-main cells in the bone tissue
-found in the endosteum

Osteoblasts Osteoclasts
-bone building cells -resorption
-synthesize and secret collagen fiber -regulates blood calcium level
-initiate calcification
Types of bone according to
size and distribution of spaces
Compact Bone
-strongest form of bone tissue with few spaces
-found beneath the periosteum of all bones
Parts:
Osteons
-structural unit of a bone
-also known as haversian systems
-consist of concentric lamellae
-communicates through gap junctions
Concentric Lamellae
-circular plates of mineralized extracellular matrix of increasing diameter, surrounding a small
network of blood vessels and nerves
Lacunae
-small spaces between concentric lamellae
-contains osteocytes
Canaliculi
-small spaces with extracellular fluid
Perforating Canal
-where the blood vessels and nerves penetrate the compact bone
Circumferential Lamellae
-has inner and outer part connected by perforating fibers “sharpey’s fiber”
Compact Bone
Spongy Bone
-also known as trabecular or cancellous bone tissue
-does not contain osteons
-located in the interior of the bone
-covered with compact bone
-has Trabeculae
-irregular patterns of lamellae
-has spaces filled with red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow
Spongy Bone

Ossification of Bones also known as osteogenesis

INTRAMEMBRANOUS ENDOCHONDRAL
OSSIFICATION OSSIFICATION

-how flat bones are developed -how long bones are developed
(skull, mandible, medial collar bone) (humerus, femur, tibia and fibula)

STAGES: STAGES:

2. Calcification 2. Growth of the cartilage model
3. Formation of trabeculae 3. Development of the primary ossification center
4. Development of periosteum 4. Development of the medullary (marrow) cavity

and damaged tissues
-6 to 8 hours after the injury

Stages of Bone Healing

Reparative Phase:
Fibrocartilaginous callus formation

-formation of fibrocartilaginous callus


-formation of soft bony callus
-blood vessels grow into fracture
hematoma
-fribroblasts produce collagen fibers
-takes about 3 weeks
Stages of Bone Healing

Reparative Phase:
Bony Callus Formation

-in well vascularized area, osteoprogenitor


cells develop into osteoblasts producing
spongy bone trabeculae
-fibrocartilage is converted into spongy bone
“bony (hard) callus
-lasts about 3 to 4 months
Stages of Bone Healing

Bone Remodeling Phase


-final phase of fracture repair
-compact bone replaces spongy bone
-fracture may be undetectable in x-ray
Common types of fracture:

OPEN FRACTURE COMMINUTED FRACTURE

GREENSTICK FRACTURE IMPACTED FRACTURE


Factors that affect bone growth: MINERALS
Manganese
-activates enzymes involved in synthesis of bone extracellular matrix

Calcium and phosphorus


-make bone extracellular matrix hard

Fluoride
-helps strengthen bone extracellular matrix

Magnesium
-helps form bone extracellular matrix
Factors that affect bone growth: VITAMINS
Vitamin A
-needed for the activity of osteoblasts during remodeling of bone
-toxic in high doses
Deficiency: stunts bone growth

Vitamin C
-needed for synthesis of collagen
Deficiency: slows down bone growth and delays repair of broken bone

Vitamin D
-produced by kidneys
-increases absorption of calcium
Deficiency: faulty calcification and slows down bone growth

Vitamin K & B12


-needed for synthesis of bone proteins
Deficiency: abnormal protein production in bone extracellular matrix
decreases bone density
Factors that affect bone growth: EXERCISE

Weight bearing activities stimulate osteoblasts

Help build thicker and strong bone

Retard loss of bone mass that occurs as people age
