Q

What is the organic chemical composition of the bone

A

Osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoids, and osteoclasts

30
Q

What is the osteoid

A
  • An organic bone matrix secreted by osteoblasts (1/3 of matrix)
  • Ground substance (proteoglycans and glycoproteins)
  • Collagen fibers that provide tensile strength and flexibility and sacrificial bonds (break easily on impact to dissipate energy which prevents force rising to fracture level)
31
Q

What is the inorganic chemical composition of the bone

A
  • Hydroxyapatites (mineral salts)
  • 65% of bone by mass
  • Mainly calcium phosphate crystals
  • Responsible for hardness and resistance to compression
32
Q

What is osteogenesis

A

Ossification, bone tissue formation

33
Q

What are the stages of bone development

A
  1. Bone formation- Begins in 2nd month of development
  2. Postnatal bone growth- Until early adulthood
  3. Bone remodeling and repair- Lifelong
34
Q

What are the two types of ossification

A

Intramembranous ossification and endochonral ossification

35
Q

What does intramembranous ossification do

A

Membrane bone develops from fibrous membrane, forms most flat bones

36
Q

What does endochondral ossification do

A

Cartilage (endochondral) bone forms by replacing hyaline cartilage, forms most of the rest of the skeleton

37
Q

What is postnatal bone growth

A

Interstitial bone growth and appositional bone growth

38
Q

Describe growth in length long bones

A

Epiphyseal plate cartilage organizes into four important functional zones:
- Proliferation (growth)
- Hypertrophic
- Calcification
- Ossification (osteogenic)

39
Q

Describe hormonal regulation of bone growth

A
  • Growth hormone stimulates epiphyseal plate activity
  • Thyroid hormone modulates activity of growth hormone
  • Testosterone and estrogens (at puberty) promote adolescent growth spurts and end growth by inducing epiphyseal plate closure
40
Q

Describe bone deposit

A
  • Occurs where a bone is injured or added strength is needed
  • Requires a diet rich in: Protein, vitamins c d a, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and manganese
  • Sites of new matrix deposit are revealed by the osteoid seam (unmineralized band of matrix) and calcification front (abrupt transition zone between the osteoid seam and the older mineralized bone)
41
Q

Describe bone resorption

A

Osteoclasts in resorption bays. They seal off the area with border against bone, and then secrete lysosomal enzymes and acids.

42
Q

Describe control of remodeling

A
  • Hormonal mechanisms that maintain calcium homeostasis in the blood
  • Mechanical and gravitational forces
43
Q

What is calcium necessary for in hormonal control of blood

A
  • Transmission of nerve impulses
  • Muscle contraction
  • Blood coagulation
  • Secretion by glands and nerve cells
  • Cell division
44
Q

What is Wolff’s Law

A

A bone grows or remodels in response to forces or demands placed up it

45
Q

What are some observations supporting Wolff’s law

A
  • Handedness results in bone of one upper limb being thicker and stronger
  • Curved bones are thickest where they are most likely to buckle
  • Trabeculae form among lines of stress
  • Large, bony projections occur where heavy, active muscles attach
46
Q

What are the classifications of bone fractures

A
  • Position of ends after fracture
  • Completeness of the break
  • Whether or not the bone ends penetrate the skin
47
Q

What are the two types of fractures under position of bone ends after fracture

A

Nondisplaced and displaced

48
Q

What are the two types of completeness of break fractures?

A

Complete and incomplete

49
Q

What are the two types of bone penetration fractures

A
  • Compound (bone penetrates skin also known as open)
  • Simple (bone ends don’t penetrate, aka closed)
50
Q

What are the 4 stages of healing in a bone fracture

A
  • Hematoma forms
  • Fibrocartilaginous callus forms
  • Bony callus formation
  • Bone remodeling
51
Q

Describe the hematoma forming stage of healing

A

-Torn blood vessels hemorrhage
- Clot (hematoma) forms
- Site becomes swollen, painful, and inflamed

52
Q

Describe the fibrocartilaginous callus forming stage of healing

A
  • Phagocytic cells clear debris
  • Osteoblasts begin forming spongy bone within 1 week
  • Fibroblasts secrete collagen fivers to connect bone ends
  • Mass of repair tissue now called fibrocartilaginous callus
53
Q

Describe the bony callus formation stage of healing

A
  • New trabeculae form a bony (hard) callus
  • Bony callus formation continues until firm union is formed in about 2 months
54
Q

Describe bone remodeling in healing

A
  • In response to mechanical stressors over several months
  • Final structure resembles original
55
Q

What is osteomalacia and rickets

A
  • Rickets (childhood disease) causes bowed leg and other bone deformities
  • Calcium salts not deposited
  • Cause: vitamin D deficiency or insufficient dietary calcium
56
Q

What is osteoporosis

A
  • Loss of bone mass: bone resorption outpaces deposit
  • Spongy bone of spine and neck of femur become most susceptible to fracture
57
Q

What are the risk factors of osteoporosis

A
  • Risk factors are lack of estrogen, calcium or vitamin D; petite body form; immobility; low levels of TSH; diabetes mellitus
58
Q

What is the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis

A
  • Calcium, vitamin D, and fluoride supplements
  • Weight-Bearing exercises throughout life
  • Hormone (estrogen) replacement therapy slows bone loss (but increases cancer risk)
  • Some drugs increase bone mineral density
59
Q

What is Paget’s Disease

A
  • Excessive and haphazard bone growth formation and breakdown, usually in spine, pelvis, femur, or skull
  • High ratio of spongy bone to compact bone with reduced mineralization
  • Unknown cause
  • Treatment includes calcitonin and biphosphonates

65
Q

What are the four important functional zones of epiphyseal plate cartilage

A

66
Q

Describe hormonal regulation of bone growth

A
  • Growth hormone stimulates epiphyseal plate activity
  • Thyroid hormone modulates activity of growth hormone
  • Testosterone and estrogens (at puberty) promote adolescent growth spurts and end growth by inducing epiphyseal plate closure
