30
Q

Periosteum

A

-outer covering of the bone
-has 2 layers

31
Q

Outer Fiberous Membrane

A
  • irregular, dense connective tissue
    -more collagenous
  • fewer cells

periosteum

32
Q

Inner Cellular Layer

A

-osteoprogenitor cells

33
Q

In the Inner Cellular Layer of adults ________ may be absent

A

osteoblasts

(appear when required)

34
Q

osteoprogenitor cells

A

-precursor to osteoblast
-fibrobalst-like
-flat

35
Q

Sharpey’s Fibers

A

-parallel bundels of collagen
-extend from periosteum
-found in periodontal ligament (anchor root of tooth into bone)

36
Q

Osteoblast

A

-osteoprogenitor cells that are turned on
-synthesise and mineralize osteoid (hydroxyapatite)
-polygonal

37
Q

Why are Osteoblast very basophilic?

A

organelles for synthesis of large amounts of proteins and proteoglycans

38
Q

Osteocyte

A

-osteoblast trapped in the matrix
-inactive

39
Q

Osteoclast

A

-resorb bone to release calcium and phosphate
-phagocytic

40
Q

Osteoclast derive from

A

monocytes

41
Q

What stimulates osteoclast

A

-Parathyroid Hormone (low serum calcium)

42
Q

Matrix Vesicle

A

-secreted by osteoblast and calcify the matrix

43
Q

What do Matrix Vesicle contain

A

alkaline phosphatase (causes precipitation of mineral salts)

44
Q

What portion of the (compact) bone matrix is inorganic salts?

A

70%

45
Q

What portion of the (compact) bone matrix is organic?

A

30%

46
Q

What is the organic portion of the matrix mostly made of?

A

Type 1 collagen (90% of organic)

47
Q

What synthesizes type 1 collagen in the bone matrix?

A

osteoblast

48
Q

The GAGs of the ground substance of bone mostly consist of

-chondroitin sulfate
-keratan sulfate

49
Q

What are the non-collagenous organic molecules of the bone matrix

A

-osteocalcin
-osteonectin
-sialoproteins

50
Q

osteocalcin

A

binds intercellular Ca during mineralization

51
Q

osteonectin

A

bridge/ binds to collagen and minerals

52
