25
Q

What is the difference between osteoblasts and osteocytes?

A

Osteocytes are older osteoblasts that have become enclosed in osteoid and mineral

26
Q

What is the function of osteoclasts?

A

Break down bone

27
Q

What are the three types of bone?

A

Long bone, Short bone, Flat Bone

28
Q

From the center of the bone to the middle of the bone to the end of the bone longitudinally, name the regions?

A

Diaphysis, Metaphysis, Epiphysis

29
Q

What is the periosteum?

A

Hard outer layer of bone

30
Q

Articular cartilage usually covers?

A

The caps of long bone

31
Q

Where is spongy/cancellous bone found?

A

Typically in the end/heads of long bone or in short bone

32
Q

What is the epiphyseal plate?

A

The face of the long bone in the epiphysis region

33
Q

Medullary cavity of bone is found where?

A

The middle of bone

34
Q

What is the diploe?

A

The core of flat bone

35
Q

What two layers compose flat bone?

A

Outer table and inner table

36
Q

T or F: Osteoid stains darker than cartilage

A

T (dark red versus dark pink)

37
Q

T or F: There are Haversian systems in spongy bone

A

F

38
Q

Describe the organization of compact bone

A

Osteons (haversian systems) composed of a Haversian canal ringed by osetocytes and canaliculi in concentric lamellae

39
Q

What are the three types of lamellae?

A

Intersitial lamellae (not part of haversian or circumferential), circumferential (outer and inner), and osteon/concentric

40
Q

What is the function of canaliculi?

A

Microscopic canals that connect the lacunae of osteocytes (communicate via gap junctions)

41
Q

Haversian canals run?

A

Longitudinally in compact bone

42
Q

Volkmann’s canal run?

A

Horizontally in compact bone

43
Q

What are Sharpey’s fibers?

A

Connective tissue that connects periosteum to bone

44
Q

What is periosteum?

A

Dense irregular connective tissue that covers most bone

45
Q

What is the function of osteoblast?

A

Synthesize osteoid, deposit inorganic component, located at the surface of bone tissue

46
Q

What is the function of osteocyte?

A

Derived from osteoblasts, sit in lacuna surrounded by bone matrix, connect to other osteocytes via gap junctions between cytoplasmic processes in canliculi. Maintain the bone matrix

47
Q

What is the function of osteoclasts?

A

Large, motile, multinucleate cells, make contact with the bone via a ruffled border, secrete enzymes that breakdown bone matrix resulting in the Howship’s lacuna

48
Q

What is the Howship’s lacuna?

A

The depression in bone made by degradation due to osteoclasts

49
Q

What does lamella mean?

A

Plate like structure usually very close to one another

50
Q

How do osteoclasts function?

A

Lots of lysosomes that produce carbonic anhydrase to take CO2 and water to carbonic acid to proton and bicarbonate. Bicarbonate is sent to blood in capillary for buffer and proton is used to create the ruffled border (acidic decay). Microenvironment of low pH and lysosomal enzyme

51
Q

Describe how osteons are made?

A

Osteoclasts bore holes through bone and osteoblasts make concentric layers down to fill making lamellae

52
Q

What is osteoporosis?

A

Estrogen dependent decline in osteoblast activity

53
Q

What is osteomalacia (Rickets)?

A

Disturbance in bone mineralization mostly due to lack of vitamin D and calcium

54
Q

What is osteosarcoma?

A

Malignant tumor derived from osteoblasts

55
Q

What are the two modes of bone formation?

A

Intramembranous bone formation and Endochondral bone formation

56
Q

Describe intramembranous bone formation

A

Lead to flat bone production, appear in mesenchyme via condensation of cells

57
Q

Describe endochondral bone formation

A

Long and short bones are made this way via the hyaline cartilage model

58
Q

Describe the stages of Endochondral bone formation

A

Chondroblasts and early perichondrium develop enveloping primative mesenchyme. Cartilage is developed and bone collar forms. Thee primary ossification center forms and blood veseels and trabeculae form. Secondary ossification occurs in the epiphysis

59
Q

What are the two modes of bone growth?

A

Increase in diameter (subperiosteal appositional growth). Increase in length (at the epiphyseal plates)

60
Q

Describe the hierarchy of the epiphyseal plate

A

Epiphysis down to epiphyseal plate down to diaphysis

61
Q

Describe the top down growth of the epiphyseal plate?

A

Cartilage divides and enlarges. It is calcified as it moves down. It is eventually eroded and replaced with bone by osteoblasts. Osteoclasts remodel

62
Q

Interstitial growth achieves growth in? Appositional growth achieves growth in?

A

Length, width
