Bone Flashcards
Mesenchymal stem cells that develops into osteoblasts
Osteogenic Cells
Cell that forms bone matrix (osteoid- organic ECM), signal for bone calcification
Osteoblast
Cell that maintains bone tissue (completely surrounded by bone matrix); resides in lacunae
Osteocyte
Mobile cell that functions in resorption (breakdown) of bone matrix
Osteoclast
The bone ECM consists of:
- Osteoid (organic)- type 1 collagen and bone matrix proteins (BMPs- GAGs, glycoproteins, osteocalsin, osteonectin)
- Inorganic- hydroxyapatite crystals
Osteoclasts breakdown bone matrix with acidic environment near the _____ at the _____
Ruffled border
Resorption bay (Howship Lacunae)
Osteon development occurs by ____ excavating tunnel through old bone and ____ filling the tunnel with new bone
Osteoclasts
Osteoblasts
____ Canals connect the Central (_____) Canal to blood vessels
Volkmann’s
Haversian
Older, broken down osteoid become _____
