Musculoskeletal system

Structure of a bone
Epiphysis
The ends of a bone: top=proximal, bottom=distal
covered in articular cartillage- needs support with plates of compact bone at the edge before the cartillage
Where there is cartillage, there is no periosteum
Made of spongy bone, contains red bone marrow
-
-
-
Diaphysis
-
Doesn't need support, but needs a thick wall
-
-
-
-
Little holes on the surface of the bone are nutrient foramen and allow blood vessels to run in/out of bone
Bone wall
Endosteum
Thin, fibrous layer lining internal cavity
-
-
medullary cavity
Space in the middle, in the epiphysis= red bone marrow, in the diaphysis= yellow bone marrow
Bone cells
-
Osteoblast
Bone building cells, synthesize collagen fibres + things for extracellular matrix of bone
-
-
-
Osteocyte
-
Bone tissue maintenance, exchange nutrients and waste with blood, maintain extracellular matrix
-
Osteoclast
Very big, formed by fusion of monocytes, have a ruffled boarder
-
Secrete acid and enzymes, dissolves mineral and organic parts of bone
Compact bone tissue
-
-
-
Composed of osteons
-
Concentric lamellae: circular plates of mineralised extracellular matrix, surrounding small blood vessels and nerves in the central canal
Primary osteons: formed around an existing blood vessel on bone surface when the bone is growing and laying new bone tissue
1) osteoblasts in the active periosteum put down new bone, forming ridges
2) bone grows and ridges fuse to form a tunnel around the blood vessel, and line the tunnel with endosteum
3) osteoblasts in the endosteum build concentric lamellae onto the tunnel walls, filling it in
4) bone keeps growing outwards as the osteoblasts in the periosteum build new circumferential lamellae
-
Collagen fibres (Type I)
-
Bad at resisting compression, but
good at resisting tension
-
Synovial joints
Articular cartilage
-
Chondorcytes: nourished only by diffusion, build and maintain cartilage live in lacunae
-
PG (proteoglycan) content increases from surface zone to deep zone, and then back to low in the calcified cartillage
Articular capsule
Fibrous layer
-
-
Badly vascular, very innervated (has nerves, hence pain when sprains happen)
-
Surrounds synovial joint, connecting the ends of the bones in the joint
Must be loose to allow the joint to move, but tight enough to protect against too much movement
Synovial fluid
viscous, lookes like egg whites
redues friction. absorbs shocks, supplies oxygen and nutrients
