BONE

Them Not-So-Dry Bones [Schoolhouse Rock]

by: Jack Sheldon Lyrics by: George Newall

Bones of heard of, but seldom seen

`Cept each year `round Hallowe`en
But I`ve got a shock-a-roo
Right now there`s a skeleton locked up
inside of you!
 Two Types of bone

Compact-makes up the shaft of

the bone

Spongy-fills ends of bone and fills

flat bones
 Parts of a long bone
Epiphysis-end of the bone

Diaphysis-shaft of the bone

Periosteum-”skin” of the bone

Articular cartilage-smooth
surface for joint
Types of Bone Marrow
Red Marrow-found within the
hollow
spaces of the spongy bone-
makes red
blood cells
Yellow Marrow-found
withing the large hollow
medullary cavity in long
bones, stores fat
 Bone
Microanatomy
Osteon-round building block of compct bone

Central canal-large passageway in center of

osteon, blood vessels run through them

lamellae-rings of bony marix

within the osteon

Canaliculi-tiny channels that allow

“interaction” between osteocytes
lose up look at osteocy

Remember, an osteocyte resides in an empty place called a lacuna.

An osteocyte is a unspecialized, mature bone cell, found in a lacuna.

Osteocytes have small cytoplasmic extensions that run through the

canaliculi.
 Osteoblasts and
Osteoclasts
Osteoblasts build new bone cells,
turn into osteocytes when
surrounded
by new bone.

Osteoclasts break down bone.

Skeletal remodeling-new bone is

made as fast as old bone is broken
down

Osteporosis-bone is broken down

too
fast for osteoblasts to keep up
 That’s all for now
soon we’ll start on
the
