Bone Flashcards
a specialized connective tissue that supports the body, protect internal organs
bone
bone is composed of what?
calcified extracellular material, bone matrix, osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts.
how many bones are in an adult’s body?
206
how many bones are in an infant’s body?
270
originates from the mesenchymal stem cells; synthesizes and secretes the organic components of the extracellular matrix
osteoblast
what does the osteoblast produce?
proteoglycans and osteonectin
very giant and multinucleated cells involved in removing calcified bone matrix; involved in bone remodeling
osteoclast
where are osteoclasts found?
interfaces involved in selective diffusion, absorption, and secretion
found in the cavitites between bone matrix layers with cytoplasmic processes in the small canaliculi that extend into the matrix
osteocytes
what are the inorganic compounds of bones?
calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium
crystals that lie alongside collagen fibrils and are surrounded by amorphous ground substance
hydroxyapatite crystals
what are the organic compounds of bones?
collagen type I fibers and amorphous ground substance
where does the osteoprogenitor/osteogeonic cells populates?
inner cellular layer of periosteum
what does osteoprogenitor form?
more osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, and chondrogenic cells
lines the endosteal and periosteal surfaces
osteoblast
synthesize organic components of bone matrix, regulate mineralization of bone matrix and activity of one resorption
osteoblast
what does osteoblast produce?
collagen type I, osteocalcin, multiadhesice glycoproteins, non collagenous bone matrix proteins (GAG, hyaluronan, chondroitin & keratan sulfate)
huge cells derived from the fusion of as many as 50 monocytes; concentrated in the endosteum
osteoclast
