Q

What are osteoclasts?

A
  • Multinucleated macrophages acting as scavengers of unwanted material
  • Remove matrix and rebasorb bone
  • Minerals are dissolved by acids
  • Lysosomal enzymes reabsorb organic matrix
  • Oestrogen reduces activity (linked to menopause)

Q

What are the main parts of this to remember?

A
18
Q

When does bone turnover increase?

A
  • Change in function
  • New demands
  • Repair of fractures
  • Disease
19
Q

What is the relationship between osteoblasts and osteoclasts to remember?

A
20
Q

What are the properties of intramembranous embryo bone development?

A
  • Sheets of mesenchymal cells
  • Differentiation into osteoblasts
  • Trabecular bone formation
  • Remaining mesenchyme makes bone marrow and periosteum
  • Skull, maxilla and mandible bones
21
Q

What are the properties of endochondral embryo bone development?

A
  • Cartilage template
  • Cartilage growth plate remains to allow bone lengthening
  • Long bones and skull base
22
Q

What are the gestational stages of cartilage and bone formation?

A
23
Q

What are the differences between childhood, adolescence and adult bone formation?

A
24
Q

What mesoderm are tje dermatome and myotome from and what do they give rise to?

A

Paraxial mesoderm

Dermatome = connective tissue of dermis

Myotome = limb muscles

25
Q

What arises from the lateral plate mesoderm?

A
  • Bones of upper and lower limbs
  • Blood vessels
  • Connective tissue
26
Q

Where are sensory nerve elements derived from?

A

Neural crest

27
Q

What is the first stage of limb growth?

A

Limb buds appear at 4 weeks

28
Q

What is the second stage of limb growth?

A
  • Most basic structures are established by 8 weeks
  • From week 8 onwards, limb elements just grow in size
29
Q

What planes do patterning, growth and maturation occur on?

A
  • Proximal-distal
  • Anterior-posterior
  • Dorsal-ventral
30
Q

Where is limb outgrowth initiated?

What does it depend on?

What happens if disrupted?

A

Apical ectodermal ridge

FGF signalling from AER

Arrested limb development

31
Q

What does proximal-distal growth also depend on?

What can disruption lead to?

A

HOX genes

Loss of specific limb elements
