Q

What is Lamellar Bone

A

Q

What is the purpose of an osteoclast

Q

What are the cellular mechanisms of bone modeling and remodeling

3

A
  1. coordinated action of osteoclasts and osteoblasts
  2. bone excavated in cylindrical tunnel by osteoclasts
  3. bone replaced by osteoblasts which follow and form concentric lamellae of lamallar bone on walls to form a secondary osteon

Q

what is “stress” in the context stress fracture

A

force per unit area

20
Q

what is “strain” in the context of stress fracture

A

% of elongation

too much force over time

21
Q

what is a yield point in terms of stress fracture

A

point at which the structure will no longer return to its original shape

22
Q

What is fatigue in the context of a stress fracture

A

the progressive decline in material properties

cyclical loading of quite intense loads may steadily weaken the bone

23
Q

What is microdamage

3

A
  • structural damage of various levels
  • cell death
  • vascualr disruption
24
Q

what are joints

2

A
  • flexible interfaces between bones
  • smooth bearing surfaces
25
Q

what kind of growth is cartilage capable of

A

interstitial

happens from the inside out

26
Q

how is cartilage matrix different from bone

A
  • differences in biochemistry, microstructure, metabolism and cell types
  • avascular and aneural (get nutrients/oygen from surrounding structures)
27
Q

What are the 3 types of cartilage

A
  • hyaline/articular
  • fibrocartilage
  • elastic
28
Q

what are some qualities of hyaline/articular joints

8

A
  • precursors to bones in embryonic skeleton
  • present inside bones
  • on joint surfaces
  • slippery and hydrated
  • withstand and distributed laod
  • actas as a shock absorber
  • self maintaining
  • avascular, aneural, and alymphatic
29
Q

what is the predominant type of collagen found in articular/hyaline cartilage

A

type 2 collagen

30
Q

what are some qualities of fibrocartilage

6

A
  • very strong
  • white
  • specialised for areas requiring tough support/great tensile strength
  • lines the surfaces of bony grooves
  • contains more collagen that hyaline cartilage
  • lacks perichondrium
31
Q

what types(s) of collagen does fibrocartilage contain

A

type 1 and 2

32
Q

what are some characteristics of elastic cartilage

4

A
  • yellow
  • found in the pinna, tubes, anywhere that require flexible support
  • keeps tubes permanently open
  • similar to hyalin but contains elastic bundles throughout matrix
33
Q

what are the cells found in cartilage/what do they do

4

A

chondrocytes
- produce and maintain cartilage matrix
- low density
- obtain nutrition and O2 by diffusion from nearby structures
- secrete new matrix when embedded in matrix

34
Q

where does connective tissue develope from

A

the embryonic mesenchymal tissue (stem cells)

35
Q

what are the 5 different types of connective tissues

A
  • loose fibrous connective tissue
  • dense fibrous connective tissue
  • hyaline cartilage
  • bone tissue
  • adipose tissue (fat)
36
Q

what are the main amino acids in collagen

A
  • glycine
  • proline
  • hydroxyproline
  • hydroxylysine

composed of strong covalent bonds

37
Q

collagen found in the skin, tendons, organs, mature scar tissue, artery walls, the cornea, endomysium, fibrocartilage, surrounding muscle fibres, organic part of the bones and teeth is what type?
