Bone Flashcards
What r osteocytes?
Slim dystopias mic processes thT connect to adjacent osteocytes in a canaliculus to transport nutrients via gap junctions
What are the trabeculae full of?
Bone marrow and osteocytes
What is the fine fibourous tissue surround the canaliculi and lucunae?
Sheath of Neumann
Why’s is red marrow?
For RBC synthesis
What is yellow marrow?
Contains adipose tissue
What is the marrow cavity lined by?
A thin cellular layer called the ENDOSTEUM
Process of bone synthesis?
Osteoblasts fork osteoid
Osteoblasts surrounded by osteoid forms osteocytes
Remodelling bone?
Osteoclasts - multinucleated monocytes release H+ and lysosomal enzymes to absorb bone producing a cutting cone.
Osteoblasts forms new osteons
Content of bone matrix?
65% inorganic minerals Calcium hydroxyapatite crystals of calcium phosphate and carbonate. Hence hard and rigid 10% water 23% type 1 collagen hence flexibility 2% non-collagen proteins
Talk about calcium and bone?
Calcium require for muscle contraction, blood clotting, nerves, cell membrane permeability and controlled by parathyroid which releases PTH which triggers osteoclasts to digest bone hence release calcium into the blood.
If too much calcium in blood, calcitonin inhibits osteocytes and decreases bone absorption
What is endochondral ossification?
Cartilage becomes bone. This occurs in long bones
Cartilage reabsorbed and replaced by bone.
Begins at primary centre in the diaphysis shaft and then at each end. Secondary centre is the epiphysis.
Growth occurs at the epiphyte all growth plates to extend length
What is intermembraneous ossification?
Loose CT / mesenchyme becomes bone - flat
highly vascularised loose CT
Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts surrounded by collagen fibres and GS
Cells secrete uncalcified matrix osteoids and become osteocytes
What’s a fracture?
Bone breaking means blood vessels and periosteum breaks, bone matrix destroyed and bone at fracture site becomes necrotic and die.
Bone repair?
- Heamatom formation - swelling and blood clot. Macrophages remove dead tissue and osteoclasts remove dead bone
- Fibrocartilaginous callus formation - new blood vessels, inflammatory cells invade forming pre-callus bridging fracture containing haematoma and fibrous tissue. Collagen formed over fracture by fibroblasts. Chondroblast gives rise to hyaline cartilage sleeve. Central osteoblasts invade fracture and reconstruct bone forming spongey bone
- Bony callus - osteocallus of primary bone then calcified to secondary
- Bone pulled and pressured to match surrounding bone to form mature bone
- As callus forming, step last of periosteum lay down sleeve of bone. Periosteal buds invade callus to form spongey and replace cartilage similar to endochondral ossification. Spongey the. Forms compact bone.
- Bone heals without scar.
- New bone is wider, hence remodelling restores right size and shape.
