38
what are the components of bone?
- 20% water
- 35% organic (collagen)
- 45% inorganic (hydroxyapatite)
- bone is rigid and flexibility, lightweight support an strength
39
osteoblasts
- lay down new bone
- deposit organic matrix of bone (osteoid)
40
osteocytes
osteoblasts that have become trapped in osteoid
41
osteoclasts
- take away existing bone
- resorb bone mineral
42
primary osteon
- initial areas of ossification
- lamellar or woven bone
43
secondary osteon
- remodeling
- replaces bone on resorbed surfaces
44
what are the two types of bone development?
endochondral ossification and intramembranous ossification
45
endochondral ossification
- bone forms in a cartilage model
- characteristic of long bones, vertebrae and ribs
- uses hyaline cartilage as template for bone construction
- more complex than intramembranous ossification
46
intramembranous ossification
- bone forms within a membrane
- characteristic of cranial vault and facial bones
47
what is the endochondral bone formation process?
- a simple cartilage model of the long bone forms from hyaline cartilage
- osteoblasts lay down a bone (osteoid) collar around the shaft of the long bone
- blood vessels invade the presumptive bone, allowing entrance of osteoblasts, which lay down osteoid on mineralized cartilage matrix
- secondary ossification centers form at articulations and some muscles attachments
- epiphyseal disks allow growth of bone at junction of diaphysis and epiphyses
- fusion of epiphyses limits potential for increase in bone length
48
palmar
relating to the palm of the hand
49
plantar
relating to the sole of the foot
50
sphenooccipital synchondrosis
the joint between the basal portions of the sphenoid and occipital bones in that portion of the skull base usually designated as the clivus
51
glabella
the smooth part of the forehead above and between the eyebrows
