Bone Cell bioloby Flashcards
What is hydroxyapatite?
Ca2+ and phosphorus
99% of the body’s calcium is stored in bone
What is the osteoid?
type 1 collagen=acidophilia
proteoglycans
glycoproteins; promote hydroxyapatite formation
osteocalcin is bone specific
What is hyaline cartilage composed of?
75% water and type 2 collagen
What is bone composed of?
70% mineral, 25% water type I collagen and neuronal and vascular structures
What arethe onlyknown osteoblast-specific genes?
Cbfa-1 and Osteocalcin
What is the role of Cba-1?
transcription factor bone
What growth factor induce osteoblast differentiation?
bone morphogenetic proteins
Where are osteocytes located?
occupy lacunae between lamellae of bone matrix
What is the role of PTH?
activates osteoclasts and leads to bone resorptiona nd Ca2+ release
What is the role of calcitonin?
antagonizes processes of PTH
What is the osteoid?
type 1 collagens=acidophilia
proteoglycans
glycoproteins; promote hydroxyapatite formation
osteocalcin is bone-specific
What is the role of osteoblasts?
specialized fibroblasts
What is the function of osteocytes?
half life of 25 years
maintain bone matrix
What is the role of osteoclasts and where are they located?
destroy/remodel bone matrix
multinuclear develop from macrophages that fuse together
reside in hollow area of matrix called hollowhsips lacunae
How is bone resorbed by osteoclasts?
lysosomes->cathepsin-k-> microenvironment acid-> Destrictuion
