A

blood vessels, capillaries, venules, arterioles and nerves.

45
Q

lamellar matrix

A

alternates orientation- strengthen bone

46
Q

Deficiencies in Vitamin C would result in what for cartilage and bone?

A

Cartilage: decrease in growth due to inadequate collagen synthesis.
Bone: scurvy-inability to produce bone matrix.

47
Q

Deficiencies in Vitamin D would result in what for cartilage and bone?

A

Cartilage: abnormal growth because Vit D is needed for calcium absorption
Bone:bone deforms easily due to poor calcium absorption; leads to rickets in children. osteomalcia in adult.

48
Q

Deficiency in calcium or phosphorous in bone leads to

A

rarefaction of bone, making it more porous, less dense; result more subject to fractures

49
Q

Deficiency in protein and mineral deficiencies results in what for cartilage

A

decrease in growth

50
Q

calcium 45, phosphorous 32, lead 210

51
Q

What is required for normal growth of cartilage

A

growth hormone and thyroxine

52
Q

What is the role on parathyroid hormone and calcitonin on calcium levels?

A

PTH: elevates blood calcium levels-mobilizes the release of calcium from bone
Calcitonin:suppresses mobilization of calcium from bone matrix-lowers blood calcium levels

53
Q

The main difference between intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification is.

A

Intramembranous does not use cartilage template; bone formation involves the transformation of condensed mesenchymal tissue

54
Q

What type of bones are developed by intramembraneous ossification and which use endochondral ossification?

A

IO: flat bones of skull, face, mandible, clavicle
EO: bones of extremites and weight bearing

55
Q

differentiate between nonlamellar and lamellar bone.

A

lamellar bone: mature, has haversian systems

immature bone: bundle or woven bone.

  1. more cells/ units area
  2. cells in random orientation
  3. more basophilic (high ground substance) than mature bone.
  4. grow more rapidly
56
Q

Give examples of where immature bone can be found.

A

in adult alveolar socket, tendon insertions, and areas of remodeling

57
Q

What is the process for intramembraneous direct ossification?

A
  1. Occurs through activity of periosteal membrane tissue.
  2. condensation of mesenchymals cells of mesenchymal cells where bone is destined to be formed
  3. mesenchymal differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells
  4. Increased VASCULARIZATION occurs
  5. osteoprogenitor differentiate into osteoblasts
  6. osteoblasts secrete osteoid
  7. osteiod thicken spicules after mineralization “woven bone”
  8. cells become more separated by remain attached to cytplasmic processes.
  9. woven bone eventually turns into lamellar bone
58
Q

Summarize primary ossification center of Endochondral (indirect) ossification in hyaline cartilage.

A
  1. mesenchymal cells proliferate, aggreagate, then differentiate into cartilage chondroblasts to produce matrix. PERICHONDRIUM FORMS
  2. Vascularization of perichondrium cause chondrogenic cells to transform into osteoprogenitor cells. PERICHONDRIUM becomes PERIOSTEUM. OPC become osteoblasts
  3. Periosteal bone collar forms
    4**. chondrocytes undergo HYPERTROPHY and degenerate. lacunae become confluent, forming large cavities. HC alkaline PHosphatase stimulate calcified cartilage.
  4. osteoclasts create perforations in bone collar that permit the periosteal bud
  5. osteoblasts secrete osteoid that become calcified, forming mixed spicules.
  6. periosteal bone collar thickens and elongated toward epiphysis
  7. osteoclasts begin to resorb
  8. repetition of this sequence
59
Q

Summarize 2nd ossification center of Endochondral (indirect) ossification in hyaline cartilage.

A

develops similarly to primary center except a BONE COLLAR IS NOT FORMED.
-episphyseal plates continue to grow by adding new cartilage until the 2 ossification meets.

60
Q

Growth in diameter is due to:

A
  1. periosteum that contains osteoblasts

2. osteclasts

61
Q

what are the 3 types on ground substance?

A

chondroitin (6-sulfate and 4-sulfate), keratan (resists compression) sulfate, hyaluronic acid

62
Q

Herniation of an intervertebral disk. common cause.

A

pain in lower back and neck

-risk factor include age, occupation, lifestyle and genetic

63
Q

Degeneration of IV disk is due to what factors?

A

changes in hydration of nucleus pulposus and strength of collagen, leading to weakening of annulus fibrosus (fibrocartilage).

-degenerated disk nucleus pulposus loses its cushioning ability and exerts uneven pressure on the surrounding annulus. extrusion of nucleus pulposus through weakened annulus (herniation)

64
Q

Degeneration of IV disk: In L4 to L5 and L5 to S1 causes

A

back pain and neurologic symptoms because of compression of nerve roots.

65
Q

In H and E, calcified cartilage and bone stains what color

A

Calcified cartilage: basophilic

bone: acidophilic
