Q

How is Cartilage formed?

A

differentiated multipotent stem cells → chondroid precursor cells → chondroblasts

these secrete type II collagen and GAG

Q

Intra-membranous ossification

A

Misses out Cartilage step, goes directly from mesenchyme

Takes place in formation of flat bones of skull, clavicle + bones of face

Q

Osteoblasts

A
  • Secrete osteoid (type 1 collagen + GAG)
  • osteoid forms hydroxylapatite (crystalline structure)
  • leads to appositional growth (fatter rather than longer bones)
  • not multinucleated

16
Q

Osteoclasts

A

-breakdown bone matrix

17
Q

Osteocytes

A

An osteoblast in the bony matrix

18
Q

Two types of bone

A

1) Compact

2) Spongy

19
Q

Compact bone

A
  • embedded osteocytes

- layers of cylinders => Haversian canals => Haversian Systems

20
Q

Spongy bone

A
  • network of trabeculae

- spaces filled with yellow + red bone marrow

21
Q

Periosteum

A
  • outer surface of bone
  • osteogenic = can make new bone cells
  • adheres to bone underneath via Sharpley’s fibres
