Q

How do mesenchymal cells change during development of the ossification center?

A

mesenchymal cells become osteoprogenitor cells

go from elongated to rounded

now they are osteoblasts

Q

How is woven bone produced?

A

small, irregular shaped pieces (called spicules) are increased in size by appositional growth (growth along the surface)

these patches of bone production join

embryonic blood vessels infiltrate spaces between spicules and become red bone marrow

Q

What are the steps of endochondral ossification?

A
  1. Development of fetal cartilage model
  2. Bone collar forms around diaphysis, cartilage of shaft begins to calcify
  3. Development of a primary ossification center in diaphysis
  4. Development of secondary ossification centers
  5. Retention of hyaline cartilage as articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate

Q

How does the fetal cartilage model grow?

21
Q

What happens to the perichondrium as endochondral ossification continues?

A

perichondrium near mid region of the bone has progenitor cells that become osteoblasts–perichondrium now functions as periosteum

forms bone collar around diaphyseal portion of bone

22
Q

What is the first bone tissue that appears?

A

bone collar around diaphyseal portion of bone

23
Q

How does the bone collar promote change?

A

impedes diffusion of oxygen and nutrients to underlying cartilage

24
Q

What happens to chondrocytes in mid region of developing bone?

A

accumulate glycogen, undergo hypertrophy, produce alkaline phosphatase. then they die. now we have a porous 3D structure of hyaline cartilage

these changes compress matrix, signal it to calcify

25
Q

Is calcified cartilage the same as bone?

A

No, cartilage is primarily type II fibers while bone is primarily type I

26
Q

What color does calcified hyaline cartilage stain?

A

blue/purple (basophilic)

27
Q

What color does newly formed bone stain?

A

pink/red (eosinophilic)

28
Q

What induces the formation of the primary ossification center?

A

capillaries and osteoprogenitor cells from new periosteum penetrate bone collar, grow into disintegrating calcified cartilage

29
Q

How is woven bone produced produced near primary ossification center?

A

osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteoblasts

30
Q

Does calcified cartilage have cells?

A

NO (but bone does in lacunae)

31
Q

Where is the primary ossification center found?

A

diaphysis, cartilage is still at ends of bone

32
Q

When do secondary ossification centers develop?

A

after birth

33
Q

Where are secondary ossification centers located?

A

epiphyses

34
Q

How to secondary ossification centers develop?

A

Same as primary

chondrocytes grow, cartilage matrix calcifies, chondrocytes die, blood vessels and osteoprogenitors enter spaces

35
Q

Where is hyaline cartilage retained and why?

A

ends of the bone (to become articulating cartilage)

metaphysis (to become epiphyseal or growth plate)

36
Q

When does epiphyseal cartilage get replaced by bone?

A

end of puberty

37
Q

Where is the metaphysis found?

A

between epiphysis and flared portion of diaphysis

38
Q

How to long bones increase in length during infancy and youth?

A

endochondral ossification occurring at epiphyseal plate

39
Q

What are the zones of an epiphyseal plate?

A

Zone 1: Resting cartilage–located next to epiphysis

Zone 2: Proliferating cartilage

Zone 3: Hypertrophic cartilage

Zone 4: Calcified cartilage

Zone 5: Ossification–located closest to diaphysis

40
Q

What’s going on in the zone of resting cartilage?

A

chondrocytes singularly or small groups

no matrix production, no mitosis

41
Q

What’s going on in the zone of proliferating cartilage?

A

chondrocytes in lacunae are undergoing mitosis, actively producing matrix

they look like stacked coins in line w/ long axis of bone

epiphysis is pushed away from diaphysis

42
Q

What’s going on in the zone of hypertrophic cartilage?

A

chondrocytes increase in size, accumulate glycogen

matrix compressed/thinned

43
Q

What’s going on in the zone of calcified cartilage?

A

cartilage matrix calcifies thru formation of hydroxyapatite crystals

chondrocytes die

**this zone stains basophilic

44
Q

What’s going on in the zone of ossification?

A

blood vessels, osteoprogenitor cells and osteoclasts open spaces previously occupied by chondrocytes and produce woven bone (that will be replaced later)

45
Q

Does the epiphyseal plate remain the same width during the growth of an individual?

A

YES

cartilage growth = bone tissue replacement

(new cartilage produced in zone of proliferation must equal activity in zone of ossification)

46
Q

What is a stupid analogy for how endochondral growth looks?

A

chondrocytes are being ‘chased’ by the bone cells up the length of the bone

47
Q

What is the epiphyseal line?

A

epiphyseal plate closure, bone replaces all of the cartilage (bone cells ‘caught up’ with chondrocytes)

48
Q

How do you widen bones?

A

appositional growth

osteoblasts secrete matrix along surface of bone

49
Q

How do you make sure your bones don’t get too thick or thin?

A

rate of activity of osteoblasts on periosteal layer should equal that of osteoclasts on endosteal layer

50
Q

How much of your bone do you remodel every year?

A

5-10%

51
Q

What determines when remodeling occurs?

A

negative feedback loop of Ca2+ concentration

52
Q

What controls where remodeling occurs?

A

mechanical stresses and gravity

53
Q

What happens if there is too much Ca2+ in blood?

A

parafollicular cells in thyroid secrete calcitonin

osteoclasts (therefore bone resorption) are inhibited

osteoblast activity increases

54
Q

What happens if there is too little Ca2+ in blood?

A

parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH)

osteoclasts (and therefore bone resorption) are increased
