35
Q

major classes of molecules in hyaline cartilage

A

collagen fibers, proteoglycans, and multiadhesive glycoproteins

36
Q

hyaline cartilage is surrounded by _____ which is what type of connective tissue

A

perichondrium which is dense irregular

37
Q

perichondrium serves as a source of _______

A

new cartilage cells

38
Q

what is the process of cartilage development called

A

chondrogenesis

39
Q

chondrogenesis process

A
  1. aggregation of chondroprogenitor mesenchymal cells form chondrogenic nodule
  2. mesenchymal tissue surrounding nodule gives rise to perichondrium
  3. chondroprogenitor cells differentiate to chondroblasts
  4. chondroblasts secrete matrix
  5. once matrix completely surrounds chondroblasts, it becomes chondrocyte
40
Q

which bone cell is not of mesenchymal origin

A

osteoclasts

41
Q

development stages to osteocytes

A

mesenchymal stem cells –> osteoprogenitor cells –> osteoblasts –> osteocytes/bone lining cells

42
Q

osteoclasts are derived from

A

hemopoietic progenitor cells

43
Q

function of osteoclast

A

resorb bone

44
Q

osteoblast function

A

secrete bone matrix or osteoid
also responsible for calcification of bone matrix

45
Q

histologically, newly deposited matrix is not immediate calcified so it stains

A

lightly

46
Q

histologically, actively secreting osteoblasts are:

A

basophilic cytoplasm with a clear golgi apparatus

47
Q

osteocytes have long cytoplasmic processes that are enclosed by_____

A

canaliculi

48
Q

osteocytes communicate with each other and _____ via ________

A

osteoblasts
cytoplasmic process gap junctions

49
Q

bone lining cells are derived from

Q

internal surface bone lining cells

A

endosteal cells

52
Q

bone lining cell function

A

maintenance and nutrional support of osteocytes and regulate Ca dn P movement

53
Q

what is the shallow depression formed by osteoclasts as it degrades the bone matrix called?
