Bone histology, gross anatomy, and development Flashcards
what is bone
dense connective tissue
bones are one part of the ________ system
musculoskeletal
6 functions of bones
1. Provide support framework for body 2. Allow attachment of muscles, tendons, ligaments for locomotion, posture, stability 3. Protect vital organs (skull, thorax, pelvis) 4. Repository for calcium and phosphate dynamic interchange 5. Red marrow: blood cell manufacture 6. Yellow marrow: fat storage
what is the hierarchy of biological structures (increasing complexity)
cells, tissues, organs, systems
biological building blocks of human body
cells
cells group together to form ____
tissues
structure that contains at least 2 different tissue types
organ
comprised of 2 or more organs
organ system
the musculoskeletal system is an example of ____
an organ system
cell division (differentiation) leads to ___ (number) basic tissue types
4
What are the 4 basic tissue types?
1) epithelial tissue
2) connective tissue
3) muscle tissue
4) nerve tissue
_____ is a rigid form of connective tissue
bone
true or false: collagenous protein and carbonated hydroxyapatite are found in bone
true
bone is a _____ organ that is constantly ______ and _____
dynamic; remodeling , changing shape
true or false: bone is a composite of both biological and non-biological materials
true
the combination of bone’s mineral and protein components give bones ____ and _____
resilience (organic part - protein)
strength (inorganic part - calcium)
what are the types of cells that originate from the mesenchyme?
osteoprogenitor cells
osteoblasts
osetocyte
what are the types of cells that are from haematopoietic origin
osteoclasts
the osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, osetocyte originate from _____
mesenchyme
osteoclasts origin
haematopoietic origin
What are the 4 basic bone cell types?
1) osteoprogenitor (ostegenic) cells
2) osteoblasts
3) osteocytes
4) osteoclasts
osteoprogenitor cells give rise to _______
osteoblasts
osteoblasts are _____ cells that produce part of the _____
bone building cells ; matrix
main structural fibers of bone
collagen
osteocytes
bone-encapsulated osteoblasts that maintain metabolic and structural integrity of bone
osteoclasts
involved in bone resorption (removal) and remodeling
define mesenchyme
loosely organized connective tissue of any origin present in embryo
describe bone cell modulation
bone cells derived from mesenchyme can dedifferentiate into an earlier stage of bone cell types depending on various chemicals and physical stimulus
define dedifferentiate and provide an example
dedifferentiate: change to a different form
example: osteoclasts, derived from haematopoietic stem cells can dedifferentiate into monocytes
define haematopoietic
means forming cellular part of blood
where are osteoprogenitor cells found
mesenchymal areas; intramembranous bone areas (skull and clavicle)
near surface of growing bones; intracartilaginous bone areas - remainder of bone
some osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into ____ which can later become _______
osteoblasts; osteocytes
where are osteoblasts found
surface of bone tissue; bone building by apposition (“layering” of bone)
true or false; osteoblasts are smaller than the osteoprogenitor cells from which they arise
false; they are larger
true or false; osteoblasts are larger when they are inactive
false; they are larger when they are active (eg., columnar cells)
collagens are ____ protein
structural
what is the most abundant protein in the body?
type I collagen
how many different types of collagen are there? How are they different?
28 difference in 1) chemical composition 2) molecular morphology 3) distribution in body 4) functions 5) pathologies
true or false; collagen can stretch and bend
false; collagen is inelastic, which means it doesn’t stretch, but it can bend
what is responsible for collagen’s high tensile strength?
biochemical microstructure
collagen has a unique combination of allow for ____ and ____
flexibility and strength
Outside osteoblast, procollagen is converted to ________; multiple tropo collagen molecules form a collagen _____. Multiple fibrils form a collagen _____. Multiple fibres form a collagen _____.
tropocollagen; fibril; fibre; bundle
how many strands does procollagen have?
3 strands
Collagen bundles are initially arranged randomly in ______ (primary, immature) bone
woven
woven bone is eventually replaced by _____ bone in the adult
lamellar (layered)
osteoblasts synthesizes _____, which traps osteoblasts, which then differentiates into ____, which eventually becomes surrounded by bone within a small 3D space known as ______
matrix ; osteocytes ; lacuna
____ + ______ = matrix
collagen + ground substance
lacuna are connected with each other with tubules known as ______
canaliculi
the 3d dimensional network of canaliculi is known as _____
lacunocanalicular network
osteocytes in their lacunae are encapsuled osteoblasts which have multiple network forming _____
cytoplasmic extensions
_____ maintain integrity of bone matrix
osteocytes
