Q

describe histological techniques for bone

A

special technique
called decalcification
5% nitric acid or ETDA treatment
remove calcium from bone so its easier to cut - left with a rubbery material

19
Q

describe microscopy appearance of bone

A

woven (immature)
lamellar (mature)

20
Q

describe development appearance of bone

A

intramembranous- come from membrane of mesenchymal cells
endochondral - ossification of cartilage

21
Q

what is epiphysis and diaphysis

A

epiphysis = top
diaphysis = bottom

22
Q

why is calcium important

A

cofactor for metabolic processes

23
Q

is compact bone mature

A

um yes

24
Q

what do long bones come from

A

cartilage

25
Q

describe periosteum

A

dense irregular ct
forms sheath around bone
fibrocytes - stuck in matrix
collagen type 1 fibers
some osteoprogenitor cells

26
Q

describe outer circumferential system

A

lost of extracellular space
3-4 layers of osteocytes
parallel to periosteum - around bone

27
Q

describe inner circumferential system

A

osteocytes
2-3 layers
on top of endosteum

28
Q

describe endosteum

A

1 layer of osteoprogenitor cells
flat
closest to bone marrow

29
Q

what is system aka

A

lamellae

30
Q

what is an osteon

A

haversian system

31
Q

describe interstitial system

A

between haversian systems
old haversian systems being turned over and uptaken
circular radial pattern

32
Q

describe volkmann’s canal

A

horizontal
drains into bone marrow space

33
Q

describe haversian canal

A

run lengthwise through bones
nerves go through here

34
Q

describe haversian system

A

osteocytes
tunnels run through them

35
Q

describe trabecular bone

A

looks cuboidal
osteoblasts makes ecm and fivers and divide or differentiate to osteocytes that are trapped in matrix
osteoclasts on side - round and big, multiple nuclei, breaks down ca

36
Q

describe precisely where collagen fibers are in bone

A

wrap around haversian systems and interstitial (can be degraded - contents are recycled)
contribute to tensile strength - go up and down

37
Q

how are osteons separated

A

cementin line - made up of protein cementin
goes around osteon and delineates one haversian system from another

38
Q

describe how nutrients pass through osteocytes

A

pass from cell/layers then catabolic material must go back to blood supply so osteocytes can form canaliculi

39
Q

what are canaliculi

A

channels with cellular processes
how nutrients are delivered to osteocytes at cementin line

40
Q

how do osteocytes form canaliculi

A

osteocytes send out cellular processes and tentacles - makes up the canaliculi
bind and communicates with cell in next layer

41
Q

what do osteoclasts first do

A

sit down on bone matrix and fuses - makes ruffle border
makes circumferential clearing zone which protects cell

42
Q

what do lysosomes do (osteoclasts)

A

carry proteins made from nucleus golgi - packaged and lysosomes send their packages (contents) in to zone

43
Q

what else does it (osteoclasts) send out that is important

A

sends out acid phosphatsases - protein made in nucleus RER - packaged by lysosomes and finds its way to zone
packs zone with acid phophatases

44
Q

what happens after area is packed with acid phosphatases

A

cell uses carbonic anhydrase to make area acidic, since acidic phosphotases need an acidic environment to work
pumps H+ into zone, while it ships off bicarb to be removed
makes acidic environment

45
Q

what happens after osteoclasts chew up bone

A

ca gets transported through osteoclasts and up blood stream
blood is being monitored for calcium concentration
