69
Q

Mesenchyme
Definition, composition, and function

A

Mesenchyme is an embryonic CT

Made of Mesenchymal cells -undifferentiated cells

Function: turn into osteoblasts in process of Intramembranous ossification

70
Q

Intramembranous Ossification:
6 steps

A
  1. Mesenchyme cells cluster & differentiate into osteoblasts - Center of ossification
  2. Osteoblasts secrete osteoid (glycoproteins, proteoglycans, collagen fibers)
  3. Osteoblast become surrounded by matrix and deposit calcium phosphate - matrix calcifies. Osteoblast become trapped in lacunae and convert to Osteocytes.
  4. Osteoid fuses together; forms trabeculae; spaces fill w/ red marrow
  5. Vascular mesenchyme begin to condense on outside of bone; forms Periosteum
  6. Osteoblasts secrete osteoid against formed inner surface of periosteum
71
Q

Intramembranous Ossification:
1. From where do bones form in this process?

  1. Which (type of) bones are formed in this process?
A
  1. DIrectly from mesenchyme
  2. Flat bones (skull, clavicles)
72
Q

Endochondral Ossification:
1. From where do bones form in this process?

  1. Which type of bones are formed in this process?
A
  1. From hyaline cartilage:
  2. most bones in the body
  3. This process is what lengthens bones
73
Q

8 Steps of Endochondral Ossification

A
  1. Mesenchymal cells differentiate to Chondroblasts which produce cartilage model of the bone.
  2. Cartilage model grows>chondrocytes in center of shaft “hypertrophy” (grow/enlarge) > triggers cartilage matrix to calcify.

a. Nutrients can no longer diffuse, chondrocytes in center lose nutrients
b. Matrix begins to deteriorate

  1. Cartilage models are covered by a membrane called Perichondrium> vascularized perichondrium converts to periosteum>cells in the internal layer of the periosteum differentiates into osteoblasts > osteoblasts produce thin plate of compact bone called “Periosteal Bone Collar”
  2. Periosteal Bud enters the deteriorating matrix & provides nutrient artery, vein, lymphatics, nerve fibers, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts
  3. Osteoblasts secrete osteoid around hyaline cartilage fragments and establish primary ossification center; expansion is proximal and distal.
  4. Osteoclasts break down bone covered trabeculae to form medullary cavity
  5. Bone continues to grow via cartilage mitosis at epiphyses
  6. Secondary ossification centers appear in the proximal and distal epiphyses of long bones.
74
Q

Longitudinal Bone Growth:
1. Where does bone growth appear occur on the bone

  1. Which type of ossification is longitudinal bone growth associated with?
A
  1. At the epiphyseal plate
  2. Endochondral bone ossification
75
Q

What are the steps of Bone growth at the epiphysea, chondrocytes die, l plates? (5 areas/steps)

A
  1. Cartilage Resting Zone:
    (uppermost layer near epiphysis) - Chondrocytes anchor epiphyseal plate to bony epiphysis. Chondrocytes non functional in bone growth here
  2. Cartilage Proliferating Zone:
    Active area of growth - where chondrocytes grow - Chondrocyte mitosis
  3. Cartilage Hypertrophic Zone: Chondrocytes enlarged. (weakest area of growth plate)
  4. Calcification Zone: Cartilage matrix calcifies, chondrocytes die = cartilage matrix deterioration. Blood vessels invade; structure of calcified cartilage remain.
  5. Ossification Zone - Calcified cartilage structures are remodeled; spongy bone forms
76
Q

An increase in bone thickness or diameter is called what?

A

Appositional Bone Growth

77
Q

Bone is continually undergoing bone deposition (osteoblasts) and bone reabsorption (removal by osteoclasts)

What is this called?

A

Bone Remodeling

78
Q

Functions/ Reasons for Bone Remodeling:

A
  1. Engineers skeleton for effective mechanical use in response to physical stress and compression
  2. Maintains plasma Ca2+ levels (Calcium Homeostasis)
79
Q

What happens in Appositional Bone Growth? Function? Explain it

A

This is how bone grows in diameter and new bone thickness

As bone is stressed (compressed), new bone is deposited on the outside of the bone by osteoblasts (they secrete osteoid underneath periosteum).

At the same time bone is being reabsorbed (degraded) on the inside (on endosteal cavity surface) by osteoclasts. This keeps bone from becoming too dense.

80
Q

Bone Remodeling: Calcium Homeostasis

  1. What is it called when calcium levels TOO HIGH in blood?
  2. Which cells act and what they do?
  3. Process of getting back to Calcium Homeostasis?
  4. What is the risk of too much calcium in the blood?
A
  1. Hypercalcemia
  2. Osteoblasts - deposit bone
  3. Thyroid releases calcitonin > kidneys excrete more calcium > calcium deposits into bone via osteoblasts
  4. Hypercalcemia can cause life threatening cardiac arrhythmias
81
Q

Bone Remodeling: Calcium Homeostasis

  1. What is it called when calcium levels TOO LOW in blood?
  2. Which cells act and what they do?
  3. Process of getting back to Calcium Homeostasis?
  4. What is the risk of too low calcium in the blood?
A
  1. Hypocalcemia
  2. Osteoclasts degrade bone matrix=Ca2+ freed and released back into blood
  3. Parathyroid release PTH > Osteoclasts simulated to digest bone matrix > ionic calcium & phosphate released back into blood
  4. Hypocalcemia can cause overexcitability of nerves = spastic paralysis of the diaphragm
82
Q

What is Osteoporosis?

What the science of it do?

who gets it most?

A

A bone disorder - low bone mass

Bone reabsorption (osteoclast activity) outpaces bone deposition (osteoblast activity)

mostly in women after menopause

83
Q

What are the 4 steps of Fracture Repair

A
  1. Hematoma (clotting): vascularized bone bleeding>clotting>bleeding stops>clot becomes hypoxic>bone cells die> inflammation
  2. Soft Callus: chondroblasts and fibroblasts invade hematoma> soft callus formed made of fibrocartilage> this strong callus holds bone together so bone can heal
  3. Bony Callus: osteoblasts make trabeculae w/in soft callus and connect separate bone parts>process similar to endochondral ossif. occurs
  4. Bone Remodeling: Mature bone forms (spongy & compact), bulge from initial soft callus removed
84
