4/11 Devptal Disorder of Bone/Cartilage - Corbett Flashcards
functions of bone
- mechanical support
- transmission of force
- protection of viscera
- mineral homeostasis
- acid-base balance
- niche for production of blood cells
two processes of bone formation
1. intramembranous ossification
- bone tissue laud down directly in embryonic connective tissue or mesenchyme
- flat bones: skull, midface, jaw, clavicle
2. endochondral ossification
- bone tissue REPLACES preexisting hyaline cartilage (template for future bone)
- long bone
membranous bone devpt
bones of skull, midface, jaw, clavicle
woven bone vs lamellar bone
new bone = woven bone
remodeled into lamellar bone
long bone devpt
bones of limbs and girdle
endochondral ossification
type of collagen thats made changes (type 2 - type 10 - type 1)
zones of endochondral ossification
- proliferative zone
- hypertrophic zone
- vascular invasion zone
regulators of bone devpt
chondrocyte proliferation regulators?
- growth hormone
- thyroid hormone
- Indian hedgehog
- PTHrP
- Wnt
- Sox9
- Runx2
- FGF-receptor3 → inhibits chondrocyte prolif
chondrocyte proliferation regulators
FGFr3
- regulates ability of chondrocytes to prolif/mature
-
negative reg of bone growth via inhibition of chondrocyte prolif
- gain of fx mutation: activation of FGFr3 → short stature
- achondroplasia
- thanatrophic dysplasia
normal bone anatomy
diaphysis: in shaft
- central trabecular portion surrounded by thick cortical layer
metaphysis
- loose trabecular bone surrounded by thin cortical layer
- adjacent to growth plate
epiphysis
- end of bone, articular surface, contains subchondral regions under articular cartilage
cortical bone vs trabecular bone
cortical: outer periosteal surface + inner endosteal suface
- periosteum contains vessels/nerves/osteoblasts/osteoclasts, aids in bone formation, appositional bone growth and fracture repair
trabecular: honey comb network of rods and plates
cortical vs trabecular
summary
bone matrix
1. osteoid
- type I collagen
- GAG
- osteopontin (unique to bone)
- serum measurements indicate osteoblast activity
2. mineral component (hydroxyapatite)
- gives hardness
- repositor for 99% of body Ca, 85% of P
osteoblasts
- at surfaces of bone matrix, compose most of the flattened bone lining cells in endosteum and periosteum
-
main fx: SYNTHESIZE BONE MATRIX
- cuboidal when synthesizing matrix
functions
- formation of new bone
- regulation of osteoclastogenesis (RANKL and OPG)
- comm with osteocytes to receive mechanotrasduction signals (anabolid)
regulated via
- Runx2 (platform for hormone/cytokine action)
- osterix (interaction with NFAT2)
- Wnt-betacatenin
osteocytes
most abundant (90-95%) adult bone cells
derived from osteoblasts
fx: dendritic processes connect periosteal and endosteal surfaces
- sense stress
- load? → bone matrix synthesis
- reduced load? → bone resorption
