Bone Histo Lecture Flashcards
Components of compact bone
Net positive charge
Attracts negative stains
Hypocellular
No clusters of osteocytes
Cartilage vs bone cell type and location
Cartilage: large round cells in clusters in the ECM
Bone: ellipsoid, isolated cells in mineral, more hypocellular
Cartilage vs bone texture
Cartilage: firm, gel-like, high tensile strength, resilience, elasticity
Bone: mineralized and hard
Cartilage vs bone vascularization
Cartilage: avascular
Bone: vascular
Cartilage vs bone metabolism
Cartilage: low metabolic rate
Bone: high metabolic rate
Cartilage vs Bone ECM
Cartilage: type 2 collagen and Aggrecan\
Bone: type 1 collagen, small PG and glycoproteins
Cartilage vs bone permeability
Cartilage: permeable
Bone: impermeable
Cartilage vs bone growth
Cartilage: capacity for continued growth
Bone: complex structure with capacity for remodeling
Osteoprogenitors
Stem cells for bone; spindle shaped, found near bone surface in periosteum and endosteum
Bone lining cells
Flattened, line bone surfaces; likely are quiescent osteoblasts
Osteoblasts
Bone-forming cells, proliferation, cuboidal, appear as sheets on bone surfaces; deposit Osteoid
Osteocytes
Mature bone cells, non-proliferative, encased in mineral, filopodia for monitoring calcium levels
Osteoclasts
Break down or resort bone, large, multinucleate, found on bone surfaces, not Mesenchymal
Matrix composition of bone: 2 phases
Inorganic phase and organic phase
Inorganic phase of bone ECM
Mineralized and make up 75%
Organic phase of bone
Type 1 collagen (90%)
Small PG and glycoproteins (10%)
Total makes up 25%
