Callus

A mass of tissue that forms at a fracture site and connects the broken ends of the bone.

Cartilage Model

A model of hyaline cartilage that forms the shape of a bone that is then differentiated into bone in endochondral ossification.

Matrix Vesicles

Vesicles that contain large amounts of Ca^2+ and PO4^3-. Released by osteoblasts.

Calcified Cartilage

What the cartilage in endochondral ossification becomes as a result of chondrocytes releasing hydroxyapatite crystals in the cartilage matrix.

Open Fracture (Compound Fracture)

When an open wound extends to the site of the fracture or when a fragment of bone protrudes through the skin.

4 Zones of the Epiphyseal Plate

Zone of resting cartilage. Zone of proliferation. Zone of hypertrophy. Zone of calcification.

Hematoma

A localized mass of blood released from blood vessels but confined within an organ or space. Usually forms a clot to stop bleeding.

Osteoporosis (Porous Bone)

A loss of bone matrix.

Osteocyte

A bone cell that is surrounded by matrix. Differentiated from an osteoblast.

Closed Fracture

A broken bone with no open wound.

Comminuted Fracture

A complete fracture in which the bone breaks into more than 2 pieces.

Rickets

A disease resulting from reduced mineralization of the bone matrix caused by insufficient vitamin D. Results in bowed bones and inflamed joints.

Woven Bone

A fairly weak bone that osteoblasts first form in ossification. Collagen fibers are randomly oriented.

Incomplete Fracture

Ruffled Border

A highly folded form of osteoclasts occurs after the clast has attached to the surface of the bone. A specialized area of the membrane for reabsorption of the bone back into the blood stream.

Perichondrium

A protective sheath of connective tissue that surrounds most cartilage. Blood vessels and nerves do not penetrate this.

2 Types of Cartilage Growth

Appositional and interstitial.

What type of growth do bones grow by?

Appositional growth.

What type of growth does cartilage grow by?

Appositional or interstitial growth.

Epiphyseal Plate (Growth Plate)

Area of hyaline cartilage between the diaphysis and the epiphysis. Cartilage growth followed by endochondral ossification here results in growth in bone length.

5 Functions of the Skeletal System

Body support Organ protection Body movement Mineral storage Blood cell production

Osteoblasts

Bone forming cells. Produce collagen and proteoglycans. Release matrix vesicles.

Endochondral Ossification

Bone forms from a preexisting cartilage model. First step: Mesenchymal cells aggregate where bones form and differentiate into osteochondral progenitor cells and then chloroblasts which create the cartilage model surrounded by a perichondrium. Second step: Blood vessels enter the cartilage model causing the formation of osteoblasts which convert the model to bone and the perichondrium into periosteum. Third step: Blood vessels grow into the calcified cartilage allowing osteoblasts and osteoclasts to transform the calcified cartilage into spongy bone. Fourth step: the process continues to turn calcified cartilage into bone, perichondrium into periosteum, and the bone collar thickens and grows. Woven bone remodels to lamellar bone. Fifth Step: secondary ossification centers are created in the epiphyses of long bones. Sixth step: Cartilage is replaced by bone until the epiphyseal plate (and then line once bone is mature) and articular surfaces are the only cartilage left. Seventh step: Spongy and compact bone are fully developed. only cartilage is in the articular cartilage, the original perichondrium is entirely periosteum.

Intramembranous Ossification

Bone forms from preexisting connective tissue membranes. Skull bone, lower jaw bone, and the collarbones develop through this. First step: Embryonic mesenchymal cells differentiate first into osteochondral progenitor cells and then into osteoblasts that produce bone matrix around collagen fibers until they become osteocytes. Second Step: Osteoblasts gather on the surface of the trabeculae to produce more bone which forms spongy bone. Third Step: Cells within spaces of spongy bone become red marrow, cells surrounding bone become periosteum, osteoblasts in the periosteum build compact bone.

Osteoclast

Bone-destroying cells. Breakdown bone to release molecules and ions necessary for body functions. Large and multinucleated. Derived from red bone marrow.

4 Components of the Skeletal System

Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Brittle bone disorder caused by mutations that yield reduced or defective collagen in bones.

Perforating Fibers (Sharpey Fibers)

Bundles of collagen fibers in tendons and ligaments that penetrate the periosteum into the outer part of the bone. Strengthens the attachment of tendons or ligaments to the bone.

Perforating Canals

Canals that run perpendicular to the length of the bone that are the passages for blood vessels to enter the bones.

Appositional Growth

Chondroblasts in the perichondrium add new cartilage to the outside edge of the existing cartilage.

Interstitial Growth

Chondrocytes in the center tissue of the cartilage divide and add more matrix in between existing cells.
