B6.068 - Bone Development Prework Flashcards
what is bone
tissue and organ
describe bone as a tissue
mineralized connective tissue
comprised of osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts
continuously remodeled
what orchestarates continuous remodeling of bone
balancing resorption by osteocytes and osteoclasts & formation of osteoblasts
what orchestrates bone modeling
osteocytes in response to mechanosensors
what helps with local control of bone
growth factors, cytokines
what helps with systemic hormonal control of bone
calcitonin, estrogen
describe endocrine regulation by bone
produces osteocalcin (hormone that has a role in bone mineralization, calcium ion homeostasis, insulin metabolism)
what does the skeletal system develop from
- paraxial mesoderm
- lateral plate mesoderm
- cranial neural crest cells
- mesenchyme of dermis
paraxial mesoderm forms what
somitomeres cranially, somites from occipital to sacral region
what happens in the 4th week of development to the somite
the ventral portion (sclerotome) becomes mesenchymal and some cells migrate and differentiate into fibroblasts, chondroblasts or osteoblasts
what contributes to the formation of the cranial vault
somitomeres and occipital somites
what happens to the caudal sclerotome
it gives rise to the vertebral column and ribs
what forms the bones of the pelvic and shoulder girdles, long bones of limbs and sternum
bone forming cells in the parietal/somatic layer of LPM
what contributes to the bones fo face and skull
neural crest cells
what happens in the flat bones of the skull
mesenchyme in the dermis differentiates directly into bone
where do osteoblasts come from
differentiate from mesenchymal stem cells in periosteum or are delivered by blood vessels
what do osteoblasts do
secrete matrix (collagen 1 rich osteoid); catalyze mineralization (calcification ) of bosteoid via secretion o falk phosphatase to make bone they then become trapped in the matrix they secrete
what are osteocytes
mature bone cells, have dendritic processes; formed when osteoblasts become trapped; maintain bone; role in mineral homeostasis via secretion of FGF23; sense mechanical load; viable for decades
what are osteoclasts
dissolve/absorb bone during growth by secreting H+ and collegenases. Differentiate from a fusion of monocyte/macrophage lineage precursors to form large multinucleated bone cells
what is RANK
a receptor for RANKL a pathway that regulates osteoclasts differentiation and activation. bone remodeling/repair
RANK - receptor activator for nuclear factor kapp abeta
describe RANK signaling
TNF receptor family member
present on osteoclasts and blasts
describe RANKL
expressed by osteoblasts
activates RANK and TF NFkB role of osteoclasts formation, differentiation and survival
what are chondroblasts
mesenchymal progenitor cells which will form chondrocytes in growing cartilage matrix
what are chondrocytes
produce and maintain the cartilagenous matrix (articular cartilage or cartilage model for bone formation)
chondroclasts
involved in resorption of calcified cartilage; multinucleated giant cells
mesenchymal cells
multipotent; can differentiate in to osteoblasts, chondrocytes, other
what are neural crest cells
contribute to craniofacial cartilage and bone formation
arise from border of non neural and neural ectoderm
neural ectoderm rolls up to form neural tube
what happens in dorsal portion of neural tube
epithelial cells in dorsal poriton of neural tube undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transformation
compact bone
cortical, hard, dense, found near surface where strength is required
spongy bone
cancellous, mesh like, found in ends of long bones and center of flat bones
