Calcification Skeletal Flashcards
This process, called___, is initiated by bone-building cells called osteoblasts.
calcification
What are the four principal types of cells in bone tissue
- osteogenic cells
- Osteoblasts (bone-building cells)
- Osteocyte (maintain daily activity of bone)
- Osteoclasts (bone-destroying cells)
Unspecialised bone stem cells derived from mesenchyme, the tissue from which almost all connective tissues are formed.
- Osteogenic cells
They are the only bone cells to undergo cell division; the resulting cells develop into osteoblasts.
- osteogenic cells
The main cells in bone tissue and maintain its daily metabolism, such as the exchange of nutrients and wastes with the blood.
- osteocyte cells
The main cells in bone tissue and maintain its daily metabolism, such as the exchange of nutrients and wastes with the blood.
- osteocyte cells
Huge cells derived from the fusion of as many as 50 monocytes (a type of white blood cell) and are concentrated in the endosteum.
- Osteoclasts cells
breakdown of bone extracellular matrix
Resorption
Compact bone tissue is composed of repeating structural units called
- osteons or haversian system
Circular plates of mineralised extracellular matrix of increasing diameter, surrounding a small network of blood vessels and nerves located in the central canal.
Lamellae
Between the concentric lamellae are small spaces called
Lacunae
(small channels), which are filled with extracellular fluid.
Canaliculi
Blood vessels and nerves from the periosteum penetrate the compact bone through___
- perforating canals or Volkmann’s canals
The process by which bone forms is called?
Ossification
The two patterns of bone formation
- Intramembranous ossification
- Endochondral ossification
bone forms directly within mesenchyme, which is arranged in sheetlike layers that resemble membranes.
- intramembranous ossification
bone forms within hyaline cartilage that develops from mesenchyme.
- endochondral ossification
Intramembranous ossification steps
- Development of the ossification centre.
- Calcification
- Formation of trabeculae
- Development of the periosteum.
The replacement of cartilage by bone is called
- endochondral ossification
Endochondral ossification
- Development of the cartilage model
- Growth of the cartilage model
- Development of the primary ossification centre
- Development of the medullary cavity
- Development of the secondary ossification
- Formation of articular cartilage and the epiphyseal (growth)
This type of cartilaginous growth, called___, results in an increase in length.
interstitial growth
Growth of the cartilage in thickness is
- appositional growth
A layer of hyaline cartilage in the metaphysis of a growing bone that consists of four zones.
- epiphyseal plate
This layer is nearest the epiphysis and consists of small, scattered chondro-cytes.
- Zone of resting cartilage
Slightly larger chondrocytes in this zone are arranged like stacks of coins. The chondrocytes in this zone divide to replace those that die at the diaphyseal side of the epiphyseal plate
- Zone of proliferative cartilage
This layer consists of large, maturing chondrocytes arranged in columns.
- Zone of hypertrophic cartilage
The final zone of the epiphyseal plate is only a few cells thick and consists mostly of chondrocytes that are dead because the extracellular matrix around them has calcified.
