B6.068 Prework 1: Bone Development Overview / Appendicular Skeleton Flashcards
why is bone a tissue?
mineralized connective tissue
comprised of different cell types that communicate with one another
continuously remodeled
processes under local and systemic hormonal control
how is bone modeling orchestrated
by osteocytes in response to mechanosensors
local control of bone modeling
growth factors
cytokines
systemic hormonal control of bone modeling
calcitonin
estrogen
why is bone an organ
collectively comprises the skeletal system
functions of the skeletal system
locomotion
structural support
protection for internal organs
mineral reservoir for calcium and phosphate (Ca homeostasis)
contains bone marrow which produces red and white blood cells
endocrine regulation
endocrine function of bone
produces osteocalcin
hormone that has a role in bone mineralization, calcium ion homeostasis, and insulin metabolism
embryologic components of the skeletal system
a) paraxial mesoderm
b) lateral plate mesoderm (parietal)
c) cranial neural crest cells
d) mesenchyme of dermis
how does the paraxial mesoderm contribute to the skeletal system
forms somitomeres cranially and somites from the occipital to sacral region
ventral portion of the somite
sclerotome
sclerotome contribution to skeleton
becomes mesenchymal at the end of the 4th week
comprised of loosely organized connective tissues
mesenchymal cells can migrate and differentiate to form multiple cell types (fibroblasts, chondroblasts, osteoblasts)
caudal portion gives rise to vertebral column and ribs
cranial vault and base of skull origin
paraxial mesoderm:
somitomeres
occipital somites
parietal lateral plate mesoderm contribution to skeletal system
bones of pelvic and shoulder girdles
long bones of limbs
sternum
neural crest cell contribution to skeletal system
bones of face and skull
mesenchyme of dermis contribution to skeletal system
flat bones of the skull
osteoblast origin
mesenchymal stem cells in periosteum
osteoblast function
secrete the matrix (collagen 1 rich osteoid)
catalyze mineralization (calcification) of osteoid via secretion of alk phos to make bone
become trapped in the matrix they secrete
osteocytes
mature bone cells w dendritic processes formed when osteoblasts become trapped maintain bone role in mineral homeostasis via FGF23 sense mechanical load viable for decades
osteoclasts
dissolve/absorb bone during growth by secreting H+ and collagenases
osteoclast origin
differentiate from a fusion of monocyte/ macrophage lineage precursors to form large multinucleate bone cells
RANK signaling pathway
regulates osteoclast differentiation and activation, and bone remodeling/repair
RANK
receptor activator for NFKB
- TNF receptor family
- present on pre-osteoclasts and osteoclasts
RANK-L
expressed by osteoblasts
activates RANK & transcription factor NFKB
role in osteoclast formation, differentiation and survival
chondroblasts
mesenchymal progenitor cells which will form chondrocytes in the growing cartilage matrix
chondrocytes
produce and maintain the cartilaginous matrix
articular + hyaline model for bone formation
chondroclasts
involved in resorption of calcified cartilage
multinucleated (giant) cells
discuss the steps of neural crest cells forming craniofacial cartilage and bone
- arise from border of non neural and neural ectoderm
- neural ectoderm rolls up to form neural tube
- epithelial cells in dorsal portion of the neural tube undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transformation
- neural crest migrate out and away from neural tube
- forms head and neck
compact bone
cortical
hard, dense, found near surface where strength is required
spongy bone
cancellous, trabecular
mesh like, found in ends of long bones and center of flat bones
bone marrow
loose CT that fills cavities of bone
produces red and white blood cells
periosteum
CT on the surface of bone
outer fibrous layer = nerves and BVs
inner layer = osteogenic cells
endosteum
inner lining of bones
lines bone marrow cavity
Haversian canal
duct in bone w blood vessels
Osteon / Haversian system
functional unit of compact bone
canalicular system of bones
tiny canals extending from one lacuna to another
connect osteocytes
