A&P1 Chapter 7 Lecture 2 Flashcards
What types of cells can osteogenic cells become
Chondroblasts, osteoblasts
What do osteogenic cells come from
Embryonic mesenchyme
Where are osteogenic cells found
Endosteum and inner cellular layer of periosteum
What type of bone cell can osteogenic cells not give rise to
Osteoclasts
Can osteoblasts do mitosis
No
what is the usual shape of osteoblasts
Cuboidal or angular
Where are osteoblasts found
Single layer on the surface of bone, just below the peri or endosteum
What is the first thing secreted by osteoblasts
Soft matrix
What organelle produces soft matrix
Endoplasmic Reticulum and the Golgi
What does the soft matrix contain
Precursors of hydroxyapatite
What is hydroxyapatite
Complex form of calcium phosphate
Chief structural element of all vertebrate bone
Hydroxyapatite
Ossification
Formation of bone by osteoblasts, cells surround themselves with matrix (hydroxyapatite), matrix hardens
How do osteocytes communicate with each other and exchange materials
Processes connecting them with gap junctions
Osteocytes
Mature bone cells, osteoblasts trapped in matrix
