Q

epithelial tissue

A

Becomes either a flat tissue or the lining of a cavity, avascular so no blood vessels (everything is tightly packed) Doesn’t bleed. Hooked up to the basement membrane.

A

(mitotic) stem cells that develop from embryonic mesenchymal cells. Found in the endosteum and inner layer of periosteum. Always multiply and some become osteobasts.

118
Q

osteoblasts

A

bone forming, normally cuboidal, located underneath the endosteum and periosteum. NON mitotic, only formed by mitosis/differentiation of osteogenic cells. They produce osteoid = soft, unmineralized bone. Stimulated by stress//fractures on bones

119
Q

osteocytes

A

former osteoblasts that got trapped in the bone matrix by minerals. They can be found lacunae which are connected by canaliculi for communication. Osteocytes are connected to each other by gap junctions to pass chemical information. Main function is to sense and react to stress.

120
Q

osteoclasts

A

bone dissolving cells, develop from the same stem cells that give us blood as a pre-monocyte. Some get into blood stream and are called macrophages, others cluster and become osteclasts. Have a ruffled border that sits on the bone to increase surface area so bone resorption is more efficient. They reside in resportion bays - pits when bone is broken down

121
Q

osteoid

A

soft, unmineralized bone made by the osteoblas

122
Q

A

diagonal passages that join central canals

129
Q

hyversian canals

A

(central) main canal that lamallae is formed around

130
Q

bone regeneration

A

Osteoclasts dig tunnels down in to the bone through resorption bays, tunnels are then filled with osteogenic cells which become osteoblasts. Osteoblasts start creating new osteoid which is then mineralized and becomes hard bone, fills from the outside in which gives lamallae the oninon looking shapes. more holes in children because they are still growing so bones must conitually grow.

Q

spongey bone

A

lattice structure of spicules and trabeculae. Trabeculae are thin plates. It is hard but since its less dense it has less weight. Its covered with endosteum and filled with bone marrow. The bone matrix is formed the same as that of compact bone but there are not as many osteons. No central canals becasue marrow is everywhere for nutrients, trabeculae grow along stress lines.

132
Q

intramembranous ossification step 1

A

produces flat bones of the skull/manidble, 4 steps:1) mesenchyme condeneses into a soft sheet of tissue full of blood vessels( osteoprogenitor), mesenchymal cells line up on vessels and become osteoblasts and make osteoid.

133
Q

intramembranous ossification step 2

A

calcium phosphate and otehr minerals crystalize on collagen fibers to harden the bone matrix. Osteoblasts become trapped and become osteocytes. More mesenchyme forms the periosteum to form trabeculae.Osteoblasts deposit bone and fill in spaces of trabeculae to creat compact bone on the outsides, this gives us the flat cranial bone with spongey bone inbetween.

134
Q

Endochondral Ossification

A

development of long bones, starts with cartilage from mesenchyme, takes shape of bone. Osteoblasts mainly at epiphysis, build bone on top and bottom.

135
Q

hypertrophy

A

cells are about to die, blood vessels get into cartilage and make osteoblasts to form new bone.

136
Q

metaphysis

A

transitional region from cartilage to bone at each end of primary marrow.Epiphyseal plate - a thin wall of cartilage seperating primary and secondary marrow cavities, where growth occurs.

137
Q

creation of hyversian system

A

certain ions are removed from blood plasma and deposited in bone tissue. Osteogenic cells create osteoblasts through mitosis, then they make osteoid (unmineralized bone) The osteoblast creat collagen fibers that spiral along the osteon in alternating directions. Fibers bceome incrusted w/ mineral, ion conc. must reach solubility product, crystals form hydroapatite - calcium and phosphate due to positive feedback loop

138
Q

ectopic ossification

A

abnormal ossification (patella on puropose and good result, eyes, brains, arteris not good result)

139
Q

remodeling a bone

A

osteoclasts dissolve bone so minerals can be released into the blood, this occurs at the ruffled border of the osteoclasts. Then they release H ions and attract Cl ions to form HCl which dissolves hydroxylapatite. The enzymes break down the collagen and the HCl (acid) breaks dwon the minerals. the tunneling of osteoclasts forms the Hyversian canals. Acid phosphtae and cathapin K are respobinble for breaking down the collagen.

140
Q

reason for remodeling a bone

A

release minerals that we need and phosphates that we need. (DNA, RNA, ATP, phospholipids) Calcium is important to muscle contraction and nerve(neuron) function

141
Q

hypocalcemia

A

defenciey of blood calcium, excessive nerve excitablity and muscle contractions, sodium channels are tough to open.

142
Q

hypercalcemia

A

excess of blood calcium, too much at cell surface makes sodium channels less likely to open, depresses nervous system.

143
Q

calcitriol

A

comes from within a chemical in our blood (7 dehydrocholesterol) that when hti by UV rays creats Vitamin D3. liver converts the vitamin D into calcitriol.

144
Q

function of calcitriol

A

facillitate calcium and triate across our stomach, could become Rickets or Osteomlacia (soft bones)

145
Q

calcitonin

A

secreted by calcium cells of thyroid gland when calcium conc. rises too high

146
Q

functions of calcitonin

A

reduces osteoclasts activity quickly and increase calcium loss by kidneys. (regulates cells that break down bone, more so in kids)

147
Q

parathyroid hormone

A

secreted by parathyroid gland, goal is to raise blood calcium levels.

148
Q

function of parathyroid hormone

A

timulate enzyme in kidneys for last step of calcitriol synthesis.

149
Q

osteoporosis

A

most common bone disease, bones become less dense and brittle due to loss of matrix and minerals. Biggest risk for post menopausal women, also old age.

150
Q

treatments for osteoporosis

A

Hormone Replacement therapy which slows down breaking down of bones. Best treatment is prevention. Exercise and take in 1000mg of calcium a day, specially btwn ages 25-40. Some possible drugs that could help are: fosamax, boniva, reclast - slow osteoclasts down; evista - stimulates estrogen activity.

151
Q

achondroplastic dwarfism

A

limbs stop growing eearly but head and torso remain some what normal, due to a genetic mutation.

152
Q

pituitary dwarfism

A

could come from an injury or mutation, body is proportional just small.

153
Q

pituitary gigantism

A

too much growth hormone is produced, adenoma

154
Q

adenoma

A

cancerous growth of the pituitary gland

155
Q

three primary germ layers

A

ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm

156
Q

ectoderm

A

(outer) forms epidermis and nervous system

157
Q

endoderm

A

(inner) form mucus membrane linings in GI and urinary tracts, as well as digestive glands

158
Q

mesoderm

A

(middle) forms mesenchyme that grow into connective tissues.

159
Q

Hyperdermis

A

(subcutaneous) has more adipose than dermal tissue. Functions include energy reservoir, thermal insulation. Hyperdermal injections are delivered here because of all of the blood vessels.

160
Q

skin color

A

hemoglobin, carotene, and melanin

161
Q

hemoglobin

A

red pigment of blood cells, visible through dermal collagen fibers

162
Q

carotene

A

yellow pigment from veggies, fruits, egg yolks, mainly held in stratum corneum/subcutaneous fat

163
Q

Melanin

A

produced by melanocytes, synthesis from UV radiation, gives us yellow, red, black, and brown. we all have same amount of melanocytes but skin color depends of what color melanin and how quickly it makes it.

164
Q

cyanosis

A

lack of oxygen in blood (skin looks blue)

165
Q

erythema

A

increased blood flow (skin looks red)

166
Q

Jaundice

A

high levels of bilirubin which comes from breaking down blood cells. Seen in new borns because their liver isn’t fully formed and can’t keep up.

167
Q

pallor

A

decreased blood flow (pale skin)

A

stay for life

176
Q

Functions of the Skin

A

barrier to water/UV. vitamin D synthesis(UV stimulates a cholesterol in our blood) Absorption (lack in Vitamin A and E for skin creams [sebum] take in 1-2% of oxygen. Sensory functions: temp, touch, pressure, vibration, pain. thermoregulation (sweat or shiver), and social functions

177
Q

bone matrix

A

1/3 weight is organic tissue (collagen, GAG’s proteoglycans, glycoproteins) - these resist tension. 2/3 is minerals (85% hydroxyapatite, 15% calcium carbonate) - these resist compression.

178
Q

erythropoetic

A

blood forming

179
