Q

how do osteoclasts break down bone?

A
  1. secrete collagenase and other enzymes into microenvironment
  2. pump protons into the pocket = acidic
  3. dissolves Ca+ and digests collagen

Q

what do calcitonin receptors do to osteoclasts?

A

when activated, they turn off the osteoclasts in order to lower the calcium level in the blood

Q

what does parathyroid hormone do to osteoblasts and osteoclasts?

A

osteoblasts have a parathyroid receptors
when activated they produce a cytokine (osteoclast activating factor) that stimulated osteoclasts
INCREASES blood Ca+

Q

what gives bone harness and resistance?

A

minerals+ collagen fibers

17
Q

what are sharpey’s fibers?

A

collagen fibers that penetrate bone matrix and bind the periosteum to the bone

18
Q

what are the 2 layers of the periosteum?

A

outer layer- collagen fibers + fibroblasts

inner layer - osteoprogenitor cells (fibroblast-like)

19
Q

what makes up the endosteum?

A

a single layer of osteoprogenitor cells

20
Q

what are key features of primary bone?

A

random deposition of fine collagen fibers, lower mineral content, and higher proportion of osteocytes

21
Q

where can you find primary bone in an adult?

A

tooth sockets
sutures of the skull
some tendon insertions

22
Q

what is the typical organization of secondary bone?

A

collagen fibers are in lamellae (‘layers’)
lamellae are parallel and concentric around a vascular canal
the lacunae containing the osteocytes are between the lamellae

23
Q

what are Haversian systems?

A

concentric lamellae between the inner and outer circumferential lamellae

24
Q

what are interstitial lamellae?

A

irregularly shaped areas between haversian systems

25
Q

what is the basic organization of the haversian system or osteon?

A

lamellae are laid down successively from the periphery inward
fiber are arranged parallel to each other in a helical course within a lamellae
fibers change direction w/ each successive lamellae

26
Q

how do the central canals in the osteons communicate w/ marrow cavities, periosteum, or other canals?

A

transver or oblique Volkmann’s canals (perforate lamellae)

27
Q

what bones are formed by intramembranous ossification?

A

frontal and parietal bones
part of occipital and temporal bones
mandible
contributes to growth of short bones and thickening of long bones

28
Q

what is the basic process of intramembranous ossification?

A
  1. primary ossification centers form
  2. cells differentiate into osteoblasts
  3. osteoblasts make matrix that calcifies
  4. developing bone forms walls that make cavities
  5. ossification centers grow and fuse
  6. bone formation dominates over resorption= compact bone
29
Q

what bones undergo endochondral ossification?

A

short and long bones

30
Q

what are the basic steps of endochondral ossification?

A
  1. starts in a piece of hyaline cartilage
  2. bone collar forms through intramembranous ossification
  3. the local cartilage undergoes matrix calcification
  4. blood vessels penetrate bringing in osteoprogenitor cells
  5. osteoblasts begin laying down bone matrix over the primary ossification centers
  6. secondary ossification centers appear at the ends (articular and epiphyseal cartilage remains)
  7. ossification centers leave cavities that fill w/ bone marrow
31
Q

what are the 5 zones of the epiphyseal cartilage?

A 
(superior to inferior)
resting zone
proliferative zone
hypertrophic cartilage zone
calcified cartilage zone
ossification zone
32
Q

what is the resting zone?

A

hyaline cartilage w/o any changes

33
Q

what is the proliferative zone?

A

chondrocytes divide rapidly and form columns of stacked cells

34
Q

what is the hypertrophic cartilage zone?

A

large chondrocytes w/ cytoplasmic glycogen

35
Q

what is the calcified cartilage zone?

A

the chondrocytes die and the septa become calcified

36
Q

what is the ossification zone?

A

osteoblasts form and deposit bone matrix

blood and capillaries and osteoprogenitor cells invade

37
Q

what are the two mechanisms of calcium mobilization?

A
  1. hormone action (calcitonin/ parathyroid)

2. simple ion transfer from hydroxyapatite crystals to the interstitial fluid

38
Q

what are the two layers of synovial joint capsule connective tissue?

A 
fibrous layer (external)
synovial layer (internal)
39
Q

synovial fluid has a high concentration of what in it?

A

hyaluronic acid
