Bone -REYNOLD Flashcards
What is the difference between the ground subtance of cartilage and bone?
Cartilage:
- Gel type
- For shock absorption and protections (joints)
Bone:
- Calcified
- For weight support
Discuss cartilage matrix:
- The ground substance is composed of what 3 things?
- What collagen type does cartilage contain in the extracellular matrix?
- What two cells can be found in cartilage?
Cartilage Matrix
- Ground substance: GAGs, proteoglycans, glycoproteins
- Cartilage = Type II collagen
- Cartilage cells:
- Chondrocytes: surrounded by lacunae
- Chondroblasts
What are the 3 types of cartilage? (discuss each)
Hyaline cartilage: (most common)
- Type II collagen fibers, proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid
- Stiff, flexible support
- Reduces friction between bones
- Found in synovial joints, rib tips, sternum and trachea
Elastic cartilage: hyaline cartilage plus elastic fibers
- Supportive but bends easily
- Found in external ear and epiglottis
Fibrocartilage:
- hyaline cartilage plus abundant type I collagen fibers- causing an acidophilic appearance
- Limits movement
- Prevents bone-bone contact
- Pads knee joints
- Found between pubic bones and intervertebral discs

A. Hyaline cartilage
B. Elastic cartilage
C. Fibrocartilage
C. Fibrocartilage
Which of the following would be found in external ear and epiglottis?
A. Hyaline cartilage
B. Elastic cartilage
C. Fibrocartilage
B. Elastic cartilage
Hyaline = synovial joints, rib tips, sternum and trachea
Elastic = external ear and epiglottis
Fibrocartilage = between pubic bones and intervertebral discs

D. Chondrocytes
Which of the following is arranged around central canals and are connected by cytoplasmic extensions called canaliculi?
A. Chondroblasts
B. Osteoblasts
C. Osteocytes
D. Chondrocytes

The minerals calcium phosphate and calcium hydroxide combine to form ______, which is the main component of bone.
Hydroxyapatite
What two minerals located in the ground substance of bone combine to form hydroxyapatite?
Calcium phosphate and calcium hydroxide
Which of the following is dominant in bone?
A. Type I collagen
B. Type II collagen
C. Type III collagen
A. Type I collagen
What are the four cells that are associated with bone?
- Osteoblast
- Osteoclast
- Osteocytes
- Osteoprogenitor cells
Discuss each of the following cells associated with bone:
- Osteoblast
- Osteoclast
- Osteocyte
- Osteoprogenitor cells
Osteoblast:
- Mesenchyme —> osteoprogenitor cells —> osteoblasts
- immature bone cell that secretes organic components of matrix
- Produces Osteoid which is the uncalcified form of bone
- Mononucleated
Osteoclast:
- Mesenchyme —> Myeloid —> Monocytes —> osteoclast
- Multinucleated
Osteocyte:
- Mesenchyme —> osteoprogenitor cells —> osteoblast —> Osteocyte
- Are between layers (lamellae) of matrix
- Connected by cytoplasmic extensions through canaliculi in lamellae
- Do not divide
- Functions: maintain protein and mineral content of matrix and to help repair damaged one
Osteoprogenitor cells:
- located in endosteum, the inner cellular layer of periosteum
- Assist in fracture repair
Monocytes are a precursor of which of the following?
A. Osteoblast
B. Osteoclast
C. Osteocyte
D. Osteoprogenitor cells
B. Osteoclast
Which of the following live in between lamellae and connect by cytoplasmic extensions called canaliculi?
A. Osteoblast
B. Osteoclast
C. Osteocyte
D. Osteoprogenitor cells
C. Osteocyte
Which of the following bone cells is multinucleated?
A. Osteoblast
B. Osteoclast
C. Osteocyte
D. Osteoprogenitor cells
B. Osteoclast
Osteoclast are derived from monocytes (which are multinucleated)
Compare and contrast the extracellular matrix of cartilage and bone:
Carilage:
- Ground substance:
- Gel-type
- For shock absorption and protection (joints)
- GAGs, proteoglycans, glycoproteins
- Extracellular fibers
- Type II collagen
Bone:
- Ground substance

- Type I collagen
Which of the following is located in endosteum, the inner cellular layer of periosteum?
