6: Tissue Mechanics II - Vardaxis Flashcards
which is greater in bone: organic or inorganic matrix?
organic matrix 40% dw; inorganic matrix 60% dw
what is the major component of inorganic matrix?
calcium hydroxyapatite
total percentage water of bone
10%
collagen is _____ organic matrix
90%
- provides tensile strength to the bone
structure of collagen in bone
- type I
- triple helix -> fibril
- hole zone b/w fibrils
- pores b/w sides of parallel molecules
x-linking in bone collagen _____ solubility and _____ tensile strength
- decreases
- increases
what are proteoglycans?
glycosaminoglycan complexes
proteoglycans __________ mineralization
inhibit
proteoglycans are partially responsible for ________ strength of bone
compressive
non-collagenous matrix prtns (osteocalcin/osteonectin/osteopontin) ________ mineralization and bone formation
promote
produced by osteoblasts, related to regulation of bone density, most abundant non-collagen matrix prtn
- osteocalcin
- other non-collagenous matrix prtns are osteonectin (secreted by patelets and osteoblasts, organization of mineral within matrix) and osteopontin (cell binding prtn)
inorganic matrix provides the _______ strenght of bones
compressive
- also responsible for mineralization of bone; primary mineralization occurs in holes and pores
seven hierarchical levels of bone
- isolated crystals and collagen fibrils
- mineralized collagen fibril
- mineralized fibril array
- fibril array patterns
- single osteon
- spongy and compact bone
- whole bone
cortical v. cancellous bone
cortical = 5-30% porous cancellous = 30-90% porous, no osteons
woven v. lamellar cortical bone
lamellar: parallel layers of lamellae; mineralized collagen fibers are parallel within each lamella; direction of fibers may alternate between adjacent lamellae
woven = quickly formed; poorly organized; more mineralized than lamellar; weaker than lamellar
