Bone pt 1 Flashcards
Inorganic matrix
~65% of dry wt.
hydroxyapatite crystals, Ca phosphate, other minerals
Organic Matrix
~35% of dry wt.
aka Osteoid.
Primarily type I collagen
Sulfated GAGs
primarily chondroitin keratin sulfates
Nonsulfated GAG
Hyaluronic acid.
small amounts so there are small amounts of water.
Glycoproteins
binding proteins. minerals to collagen
Sialoprotein
proteins that bind matrix components to cells
Children have a higher percentage of organic or inorganic matrix?
organic. that results in more flexibility and possibly more greenstick fractures
aka for osteoprogenitor cells
osteogenic cell
Location of osteoprogenitor cells
endosteum and periosteum
osteoprogenitor cells are derived from
mesenchyme and possibly chondrogenic
osteoprogenitor cells function to supply
osteoblast
Do osteoprogenitor cells divide
yes
Location of osteoblast
endosteum and periosteum
Osteoblast are derived from
osteoprogenitor cells
Functions of osteoblast
- produce osteoid
- produce minerals that initiates calcification of newely produced matrix
- respond to PTH
