Q

Bone Cells

A

Osteoblasts

  • Formation of bone through ossification or osteogenesis. Collagen produced by E.R. and golgi. Released by exocytosis. Precursors of hydroxyapetite stored in vesicles, then released by exocytosis.
  • Ossification: formation of bone by osteoblasts. Osteoblasts communicate through gap junctions. Cells surround themselves by matrix.

Q

Bone Cells

A

Osteocytes. Mature bone cells. Surrounded by matrix, but can make small amounts of matrix to maintain it.

  • Lacunae: spaces occupied by osteocyte cell body
  • Canaliculi: canals occupied by osteocyte cell processes
  • Nutrients diffuse through tiny amount of liquid surrounding cell and filling lacunae and canaliculi. Then can transfer nutrients from one cell to the next through gap junctions.

Q

Bone Cells

A

Osteoclasts. Resorption of bone

  • Ruffled border: where cell membrane borders bone and resorption is taking place.
  • H ions pumped across membrane, acid forms, eats away bone.
  • Release enzymes that digest the bone.
  • Derived from monocytes (which are formed from stem cells in red bone marrow)
  • Multinucleated and probably arise from fusion of a number of cells

A 
Long
- Ex. Upper and lower limbs

17
Q

Structure of flat, short, and irregular bones

A

Flat Bones
- No diaphyses, epiphyses
- Sandwich of cancellous between compact bone
Short and Irregular Bone
- Compact bone that surrounds cancellous bone center; similar to structure of epiphyses of long bones
- No diaphyses and not elongated
Some flat and irregular bones of skull have sinuses lined by mucous membranes.

18
Q

Bone Formation

A

Intramembranous ossification
- Takes place in connective tissue membrane
Endochondral ossification
- Takes place in cartilage
Both methods of ossification
- Produce woven bone that is then remodeled
- After remodeling, formation cannot be distinguished as one or other

19
Q

Intramembranous Ossification

A
  • Takes place in connective tissue membrane formed from embryonic mesenchyme
  • Forms many skull bones, part of mandible, diaphyses of clavicles
  • When remodeled, indistinguishable from endochondral bone.
  • Centers of ossification: locations in membrane where ossification begins
  • Fontanels: large membrane-covered spaces between developing skull bones; unossified
20
Q

Intramembranous Ossification

A
  • Osteoblasts develop from mesenchymal cells & produce bone matrix
  • Trabeculae develop
  • Osteoblasts enlarge trabeculae to form spongy bone
  • Specialized cells form red marrow
  • Periosteum develops
  • Compact bone develops from periosteum osteoblasts
21
Q

Endochondral Ossification

A
  • Bones of the base of the skull, part of the mandible, epiphyses of the clavicles, and most of remaining bones of skeletal system
  • Cartilage formation begins at end of fourth week of development
  • Some ossification beginning at about week eight; some does not begin until 18-20 years of age
22
Q

Endochondral Ossification

A
  • Mesenchyme derived osteochondral progenitor cells become chondroblasts
  • Chondroblasts produce hyaline cartilage
  • Perichondrium surrounds cartilage
  • Blood vessels invade perichondrium
  • Perichondrium become periosteum
  • Osteoblasts produce compact bone on surface of cartilage to form bone collar
23
Q

Endochondral Ossification

A
  • Chondrocytes absorb matrix and enlarge
  • Chondrocytes calcify forming hydroxyapatite
  • Osetoblasts form bone on surface of calcified cartilage to form spongy bone (primary ossification site)
  • Osteoclasts form medulla cavity
  • In mature bone epiphyseal line becomes epiphyseal plate
24
Q

Bone Growth

A 
Increase due to growth at epiphyseal plate
Zone of epiphyseal plate
Zone of resting cartilage
Zone of proliferation
Zone of hypertrophy
Zone of decalcification
25
Q

Epiphyseal growth

A 
Zone of resting cartilage
- Nearest epiphysis
Zone of proliferation
- Produce new cartilage via interstitial growth
Zone of hypertrophy
- Cartilage matures and enlarges
Zone of decalcification
- Cartilage dies and osteoblasts deposit bone
26
Q

Growth at Articular Cartilage

A
  • Increases size of bones with no epiphyses:
    e. g., short bones
  • Chondrocytes near the surface of the articular cartilage similar to those in zone of resting cartilage
27
Q

Growth in Width

A
  • Due to apositional growth beneath periosteum
  • Osteoblasts lay down ridges
  • Periosteum and blood vessels line ridges
  • Osteobasts produce bone until ridge becomes a tunnel
  • Osteoblasts lay down lamella to fill tunnel
28
Q

Nutrition

A 
Vitamin D
- Absorption of calcium
- Ricketts, bowed bones and inflamed joints
Vitamin C
- Collagen synthesis
- Slow growth
- Scurvy
- Lose of teeth due to compromised ligaments
29
Q

Hormones

A 
Growth hormone
- Apositional and interstitial growth
- Gigantism and dwarfism
Thyroid hormone
- Normal tissue growth
Sex hormones
- Estrogen and testosterone 
- Stimulate bone growth
30
Q

Bone Remodeling

A 
Old bone must be replaced with new
Converts woven bone to lamellar bone
Bone growth 
Changes in bone shape
Stress adjustments
Bone repair 
Calcium ion regulation
Entire skeleton renewed every 10 years
31
Q

Mechanical Stress

A 
Stress can modify bone’s strength
Increased stress increases osteoblasts
Pressure increases osteoblasts activity
Reduced stress reduced osteoblasts
- Astronauts and the bedridden
Osteoclasts activity remains constant
32
Q

Bone Repair

A
  • Blood released from damaged vessel forms a clot
  • A callus containing cartilage and collagen forms
  • Cartilage callus replaced with woven bone via endochondral ossification
  • Remodeling replaces spongy bone with compact bone
33
Q

Bone Fractures

A
  • Open (compound)- bone break with open wound. Bone may be sticking out of wound.
  • Closed (simple)- Skin not perforated.
  • Incomplete- doesn’t extend across the bone. Complete- does
  • Greenstick: incomplete fracture that occurs on the convex side of the curve of a bone
  • Hairline: incomplete where two sections of bone do not separate. Common in skull fractures
  • Comminuted fractures: complete with break into more than two pieces
34
Q

Bone Fractures Cont.

A
  • Impacted fractures: one fragment is driven into the cancellous portion of the other fragment.
  • Classified on basis of direction of fracture
  • Linear
  • Transverse
  • Spiral
  • Oblique
  • Dentate: rough, toothed, broken ends
  • Stellate radiating out from a central point.
35
Q

Calcium Homeostasis

A 
Circulating calcium required for muscle contractions & membrane potentials
Bone is major site for calcium storage
Osteoblasts 
- remove calcium from blood
Osteoclasts 
- add calcium to blood from bone
36
Q

Calcium Homeostasis

A

Parathyroid hormone
- Major regulator of blood calcium levels
- Stimulates osteoclast activity when calcium levels are low
Calcitonin (thyroid)
- Decreases osteoclast activity when calcium levels are high
Osteoprotegerin
- Inhibits osteoclast production

37
Q

Aging on the Skeleton

A
  1. Peak bone mass at 30 years
  2. Decreased collagen causes brittle bones
  3. Decreased matrix formation
  4. Increased likelihood of fractures
