B. Microscopic Structure of Bone
1. compact bone:

2. Spongy bone
a. trabeculaeb. lamallaec. osteocytes-
C. Chemical composition of bone
1. Organic- 35% of bone
a. cellsb. osteoid1. proteoglycans
2. glycoproteins
3. collagen fibers
Fn: tensile strength and flexability
2. Inorganic- 65% of bone
a. hydroxyapatitesFn: combination of organic/inorganic  strength w/o brittleness
3. Bone markings- not smooth or featureless
a. bulges, depressions, and holes
b. function:
IV Bone Development (osteogenesis)
A. Formation of bony skeleton
1. Intramembrane Ossification
a. formsb. 4 steps (see fig 6.7)
1) mesenchymal cell 
2) osteoblasts 
3) osteocytes 
4) trabeculae 
2. Endochondrial Ossification
a. formsb. more complex… breakdown and model new
c. hyaline cartilage  ossification long bone
Steps: p. 182-3
1. formation of bone collar and primary ossification center
2. hyaline cart. Of diaphysis calcifie…then…cavitates
3. periosteal bud invades cavities  formation of spongy bone
a. nutrient artery and veins
b. lymphatics, nerves
c. red marrow elements: osteoblasts and osteoclasts
4. formation of medullary cavity; appearance of secondary ossification center in epiphyses w/b.v.
5. ossification of epiphyses; formation of epiphyseal growth plates
Summary- hyaline cartilage is being eroded and replaced by bony spicules ossification “chases
Cartilage formation along the length of the shaft.
B. Postnatal growth
1. Growth in long bones
a. Growth zone1. cartilage cellsb. Transformation zone1.
c. Osteogenic zone1.
2.
Summary: longitudinal bone growth- remodeling of the epiphyseal ends push away from the
diaphysis
2. Growth in width
a. osteoblasts3. Hormonal regulation of bone growth
a. infancy1. T3 and T4b. puberty1. epiphyseal plate closurea. giantismb. dwarfism-
VI Bone Homeostasis: Remodeling and Repair
1. Basic process- occurs constantly
- recycled 5-7% of bone mass weekly
- calcium: ½ gram enters/leaves bone daily
* spongy bone* compact bone-
a. Bone remodeling units1.osteocytes2.osteoblastsb. Bone deposition:
1. Needs2. osteoid seam3. calcification frontc. Bone Resorption
1. Osteoclasts
a. secreteb. acidsc. phagocytosis, endocytosis, translocation (transcytosis)
2. Control of Remodeling
a. Hormonal1. parathyroid hormone (PTH)a. stimulates:
2. calcitonina. inhibits:
Summary: Maintain blood Ca2+ levels 9-11mg/100ml blood
b. Mechanical stress1. Wolf’s LawEx: old age  bone atrophy
3. Fractures- (breaks, where, position)
a. Position
1. non-displaced2. displacedb. Completeness of break
1. compete2. incompletea. linearb. transverse-
c. Skin penetration
1. Open (compound)2. Closed (simple)d. Healing- (reduction- realignment of bone)
1. closed reduction2. open reduction3. immbilization4. time5. repair process…. 4 Stages fig. 6.13
1. Hematoma formation:
a. mass of clotted blood forms
b. bone cells begin to die
c. tissue swells- inflamation
2. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation:
a. granulation tissue (soft callus) begins to form after a few days
b. capillaries grow  phagocytic cells clean away bacteria and debris
c. fibroblast/osteoblast secreted by peri and endostium (reconstruct bone)
d. chondroblasts  chondrocytes  form cartilage
e. osteocytes  forming spongy bone
Summary: This mass of repair tissue is called the fibrocartilaginous callus
3. Bony callus formation
a. cartilaginous callus  ossification  hard bony callus 2-3 mths
4. Bone remodeling
a. all excess formation material is rmoved
b. all membranes and surface structures return to normal
VII Homeostatic imbalance of bone (disease)
Imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption underlie nearly every disease state
A. Osteomalacia (soft bones)
1. mineralizationa. osteoidb. calcium saltsresults: bones soften and weaken why: insufficient calcium and Vit D
B. Rickets1. bone growth- deformities
a. bowed legs
b. skull
c. rib cage
2. Epiphyseal plates- if they can not be calcified… they widen and enlarge
C. Osteoporosis and Pagets disease Know causes and what characterizes disease state.
