Q

what happens after chondroblasts become completely embedded in the matrix?

A

new ones synthesise new matrix and cells are pushed towards centre of cartilage, once they are encased they have to stop secreting new matrix as it has no where to go

this is mature chondrocytes and they maintain the matrix

osteoblast
osteocyte

45
Q

what are osteogenic/ osteprogenitor cells?

A

only found in bones
capable of cell division
bon cell precursor (enables bone formation)
important: repair and maintenance = divide and give rise to osteoblasts

46
Q

describe order of bone cell lineage.

A

osteocytes were one osteoblasts that differentiated from different osteogenic cells

47
Q

what is an osteoblast involved in?

A

synthesising and secreting new bone matrix before maturing into and osteoclast

48
Q

function of an osteocyte?

A

maintain mineralised bone tissue

49
Q

function of an osteoclast?

A

resorb bone (recycle)

50
Q

where do osteoclasts derived from and how do they form?

A

immune cell lineage

fusion of many monocytes or macrophages

51
Q

what are osteoclasts?

A

phagocytic cells that can ingest and dissolve bone matrix
have many nuclei (multinucleate)

52
Q

what is a trabeculae?

A

each spike on an interwoven network of bone plates

53
Q

what is the periosteum?

A

outer layer of fibrous connective tissue in bones
(like perichondrium in cartilage)

54
Q

what do you find in inner osteogenic layer of bones?

A

osteogenic cells that give rise to osteoblasts

55
Q

what is under the osteogenic layer in bone?

A

thick layer of compact and spongey bone towards medullary cavity.

56
Q

what is the lamellae?

A

layers of compact and spongey bone
- can be arranged in concentric circles

57
Q

what is an osteon and what is it made up of?

A

functional unit of bone

made up of concentric lamellae

58
Q

what is at the centre of an osteon and what is it made up of?

A

centre (aversion) canal
- run longitudinally

blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics

59
Q

what is a Volkmann’s canal?

A

extends from centre canal and connects it to periosteum

60
Q

function of volksmann’s canal?

A

supply tissue with nutrients

61
Q

what are circumferential lamellae?

A

layers of bone not in concentric circles directly below the periosteum
- run around circumference of bone

62
Q

“compact bone that lies between osteons that are remnants of previous remodelled osteons”??

A

interstitial lamellae

63
Q

what migrates into interstitial lamellae and why?

A

osteoclasts to resorb and recycle large channel into bone tissue

64
Q

what are remnants of old osteons called?

A

interstitial lamellae

65
Q

why do osteocytes lay in the lacunae?

A

to maintain the material they previously laid down as osteoblasts.

66
Q

“tiny canals which osteoclasts reach out to neighbours”

A

canaliculi

67
Q

what do canaliculi allow?

A

osteocytes to maintain contact, communication with neighbours and receive nutrients

68
Q

features of spongey bone.

A

contains lamellar bone.
lined externally by endosteum

don’t have centre canal so not an osteon
no blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics at centre

69
Q

what are the spaces between tabeculae in spongey bone occupied by?

A

red/yellow marrow
blood vessels
nerves
lymphatics

70
Q

what is spongey bone externally lined by?

A

endosteum

71
Q

what happens in the healthy activity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts?

A

they coordinate so that bone formation (osteoblastogenesis) is coupled with bone resorption (osteoclastogenesis)

72
Q

describe the 4 factors of bone remodelling?

A

growth = expertise builds bone too
mechanical stresses
hormonal = calcium homeostasis
immunological

73
Q

what hormones influence bone remodelling?

A
  • sex hormones (oestrogen)
  • parathyroid control bone/ calcium metabolism (stimulates osteoclastogenesis)
74
Q

what do we require for calcium uptake from diet?

A

hormone calcitriol (active form of vit D) produced from sun exposure

(precursor for calcitriol)

75
Q

what type of of control is bone remodelling under

A

immunological

76
Q

what does inflammation do in inflammatory diseases in bone?

A

disrupt balance of bone resorption and bone formation
lead to increased ossteoclastogensis and loss of bone

77
Q

what is periodontitis?

A

loss of attachment of periodontal ligament (gingival recession)
- destructive inflammatory disease
- chronic immune response to oral bacteria leads to destruction of host tissue
- immune mediated uncoupling of bone remodelling
- increased osteoclastogenesis
- destruction of alveolar bone and subsequent tooth loss

78
Q

what is arthritis (2 types) ?

A

osteoarthritis - affects smooth cartilage around joint (changes shape)

rheumatoid arthritis - autoimmune, body attacks own tissue
- initially affects synovium (outer joint covering)then inflammation spreads changing joint shape

79
Q

what causes osteomalacia? (rickets in children)

A

-Failure of osteoid to mineralise adequately
-Lack of vit d/ calcium are most common cause

80
Q

what happens if there is no decomposition of of hydroxyapatite in bone?

A

bones become flexible (bow legged)
aren’t rigid enough to maintain normal stance

81
Q

what percent of hydroxyapatite in bone and enamel?

A

bone = 70%
enamel = 95%

82
Q

what leads to enamel hypoplasia?

A

lack of vit D leads to lack of calcium absorption leads to enamel hypoplasia as enamel isnt strengthened enough

plays role in delayed tooth eruption
