Bone Flashcards
4 bone matrix proteins made by osteoblasts
- type I collagen
- alkaline phosphatase
- osteopontin and osteocalcin
2 enzymes produced by osteoclasts
- cathepsin k
- tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)
origin of osteoclast
hematopeietic origin
2 structural features of osteoclasts
multinucleated and ruffled border
what is diploe
spongy bone in skull separating inner and outer compact bone
whats a lacuna
space in lamella where osteoctye resides
whats an osteoid?
the unmineralized organic component of bone
whats an osteocyte
a bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the matrix it has secreted
how long before osteoid is mineralized
a few days
5 steps of long bone formation
- bone collar formation around hyaline cartilage model
- cavitiation of hyaline cartilage within cartilage model
- invasion of internal cavities by the periostial bud and spongy bone formation
- formation of medullary cavity as ossification continues; secondary ossification centers appear in epiphyses
- ossification of epiphyses
when ossification is completed where is cartilage found in the bone?
hyaline cartilage only in the epiphyseal plates and articular cartilages
5 zones of developing bone
- resting (quiescent) zone (outermost)
- growth (proliferation) zone
- hypertrophic zone
- calcification zone
- ossification (ostergenic) zone
how much of bone is organic matrix?
45-60%
what is primary protein of organic matrix of bone
Type I collagen
functions (4) of noncollagenous proteins of bone
- direct cell binding (osteoblasts/clasts)
- control spacial arrangement of mineral deposition
- control mineral nucleation
- control rates and sites of mineral resorption
osteonectin
Ca++ bindng protein
osteopontin
RGD protein
osteocalcin
- contains gamma carboxy glutamic acid
- needs vitamen D for production
- needs vit K for function
- produces binding site for calcium
- used as measure of osteoclastic metabolism
- restricted to bone
2 inhibitors of mineral deposition
pyrophosphate and magnesium
2 molecules that act as nucleation sites for mineral deposition
collagen and phosphoproteins
bisphosphonates inhibit what
osteoclast activity
what does phosphodiesterase do
inactivates intracellular second messangers (cAMP/cGMP)
where is PDE type 5 found
corpus cavernosum
side effects of hypercalcemia
- chronic
- lethargy, digestive tract abnormalities, possible cardiac arrythmias
- soft tissue calcificiation (cardiac valves/kidney tubules)
