Major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body
Bone or Osseous tissue
Forms rigid part of bone organs that make up skeletal system
Bone
Most dynamic structure in the body affected by nutrition and metabolism
Bone
Reservoir for calcium and phosphorus undergoing constant flux
Bone
Responds to injury by rapid healing
Bone
Channels that allow osteocytes to communicate
Canaliculi
Highly vascular connective tissue
Bone
Method of bone growth
Appositional growth
Bone cannot grow interstitially because of
Rigidity due to mineralization
Calcium salts deposited around protein fibers provide
Rigidity
Protein fibers provide
Elasticity and strength
Functions of osseous tissue include support, movement, protection, storage, and blood formation
Osseous tissue
Formation of blood cells in the bone marrow
Hematopoiesis
Bone-forming cells that deposit type I collagen
Osteoblasts
Main mineral in bone matrix
Hydroxyapatite
Combination of hard mineral and collagen makes bone
Strong but not brittle
Basic functional unit of compact bone
Osteon or Haversian system
Concentric layers surrounding a central canal
Lamellae
Central canal containing nerves and blood vessels
Haversian canal
Boundary of an osteon
Cement line
Angular intervals between adjoining osteons occupied by remnants of old osteons
Interstitial lamellae
Lamellae arranged parallel to the surface are called
Circumferential lamellae
Bone cells that develop from osteoblasts and live in lacunae
Osteocytes
Tiny canals connecting osteocytes for nutrient and waste exchange
Canaliculi
Collagen fibers in some lamellae run parallel, in others oblique
Collagen fiber arrangement
Osteons connected to periosteum and each other by oblique channels
Volkmann’s or perforating canals
Bone developing directly from mesenchymal connective tissue
Intramembranous bone
Bone developing from pre-existing cartilage replaced by cancellous bone
Endochondral bone
Bone tissue vs Bone organ difference
Bone tissue = mineral matrix, Bone organ = includes marrow, vessels, nerves
Type of bone forming hard exterior
Compact or cortical bone
Type of bone filling hollow interior
Spongy or cancellous bone
Support for muscles, organs, and soft tissues
Function of bone
Leverage and movement
Function of bone
Protection of vital organs
Function of bone
Storage of calcium phosphate
Function of bone
Formation of blood cells in spongy bone
Function of bone
is a connective tissue with cells separated by plasma
Blood or Hematopoietic tissue
Liquid part of blood that suspends cells
Plasma
Plasma makes up about this percent of total blood volume
55 percent
Main component of plasma
Water
Percentage of water in plasma
92 percent
Proteins dissolved in plasma
Albumin, globulin, fibrinogen
Plasma without clotting factors
Serum
Plasma ________, serum ________
clots while serum doesnt
Serves as protein reserve of the body and maintains osmotic balance
Plasma
Cells produced by hematopoiesis
Hematocytes
Three categories of blood cells
Erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes
Percentage of total blood volume occupied by cells
45 percent
Main component of red blood cells
Hemoglobin
Hemoglobin function
Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Shape of mature red blood cell in mammals
Biconcave disc
RBC lifespan in humans
100 to 120 days
Site of red blood cell production
Bone marrow
RBC reaction in hypotonic solution
Swells and becomes spherical
RBC reaction in hypertonic solution
Shrinks and becomes crenated
Flexible, oval, anucleated blood cells rich in hemoglobin
Red blood cells
Efficient gas transporters due to biconcave form and lack of nucleus
Red blood cells
Cells of immune system defending against infection
White blood cells
Main categories of white blood cells
Granulocytes and Agranulocytes
Increase of white blood cells above normal
Leukocytosis
Decrease of white blood cells below normal
Leukopenia
White blood cells derived from multipotent hematopoietic stem cell
Leukocytes
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes with granules in cytoplasm
Granulocytes
Granulocytes include
Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils
Agranulocytes include
Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Macrophages
First line of defense among WBC
Neutrophils
Phagocytosis and enzymatic destruction of invaders
Neutrophil
Main cell involved in allergic reactions and parasite killing
Eosinophil
Cell mediating allergic responses
Basophil
Cells responsible for antibody production
B-lymphocytes
Cells responsible for killing infected cells
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes
Largest white blood cell
Monocyte
Monocyte cytoplasm appearance
Gray-blue “dishwater” color
Monocyte nucleus shape
Indented or kidney-shaped
Monocyte function
Differentiate into macrophages
Small anuclear fragments of megakaryocytes
Platelets
Function of platelets
