Q

Where do you find elastin?

A

Found where you want tissues to stretch, like your elbows and knees. Amorphous polymer of tropoelastin, which is similar to how collagen is produced.

Problem- Doesn’t lay down well in the extracellular matrix. Needs a scaffold for it to grow, which is composed of microfibrils.

Q

Fibrocartilage cartilage contains which type of collagen

A

Contains both fibroblasts and chondroblasts and chondrocytes together. Happy family. Therefore, there is not a perichondrium. As if the perichondrium is mixed in

Has properties of regular connective tissue and cartilage.

Allows flexibility and strength.

Hybrid between true cartilage and true connective tissue.

Contains type 1 and type 2 collagen

Q

**The fibrous layer of the perichronidrum in hyaline and elastic cartilage specifically contains which type of collagen

A

Type 1

22
Q

Where can you find fibrocartilage

A

Outer layer of intervertebral disc, called the annulus fibrosus

Ligaments

Lines inside/fills extra space of foramen lacerum, where sympathetic innervation enters. Sympathetic innervation hitches a ride with the internal common carotid that enters the carotid canal nearby.

23
Q

Cell types in the bone

A

Osteoblasts- giveth
Osetocytes- maintenance
Osteroclasts- taketh away

24
Q

Bone types

A

Compact (cortical)

Cancellous AKA trabecular/spongy

25
Q

Periosteum. Where is it found and what layers does it have?

A

Outer layer of the bone.
Contains 2 layers-
1. Outer is the stratum fibrous. Type 1 collage, fibroblasts, dense irregular. Very similar in properties to fibrous tissue in perichondrium.
2. Inner is the Cambian layer (cellular) A layer of undifferentiated cells. Typically differentia

26
Q

Sharpey fibers

A

Helps connect periosteum to connective tissues.

Extra bonding strength to prevent breakage.

27
Q

Is periosteum found on bone joint?

A

No. Periosteum fades away and is replaced with hyaline cartilage.

28
Q

4 layers of compact bone

A

Periosteum

  1. Outer circumferential lamellae
  2. Inner circumferential lamellae
  3. Concentric/circular lamellae. Form a unit called an osteon, which is the general unit of compact bone.
  4. Interstitial lamellae. Fills space between osteons.
29
Q

basic unit of compact bone

A

Osteon, which is formed by concentric lamellae and filled in with interstitial lamellae

30
Q

Lacuna in bone

A

Cavity that is in compact bone after osteocyte leaves the calcified area.

31
Q

Canacliculi or canaliculus

A

Osteocyte cellular extensions that will leave behind a canal after calcification. These extensions will communicate with the vasculature of the bone

32
Q

Center of concentric lamella/center of osteon, we find?

A

The central canal, which contains longitudinal vasculature

33
Q

Central canals are linked via

A

Volkmann’s canal- transverse vascularization of arteries/veins/and lymphatics

34
Q

Volkmann’s

A

Communicates between the central canals of osteons

35
Q

Thin connective tissue that lines between compact and spongy bone.

A

Endosteum.

Much thinner than periosteum and contains osteoblasts and class.

36
Q

Osteoclasts in spongy bone

A

Are able to dissolve bone to liberate Ca2+ into the body using enzymes. The area they dissolve around them creates a cavity called howship lacuna.

37
Q

Howship lacuna

A

Cavity that is formed in spongy bone due to osteoclasts dissolving bone around itself.

38
Q

Intramembraneous ossification (IO) forms which type of bone? and what is it derived from?

A
  • Forms flat bones such as the skull, pelvis, vertebra, sternum
  • Derived from mesenchymal tissue
39
Q

2 types of bone development

A

Intramembraneous ossification- formation of flat bones. Derived from mesenchymal tissue.
Endochondral ossification- formation of long bones. Derived from hyaline cartilage.

40
Q

Endochondral ossification (EO) forms which type of bone? and what is it derived from?

A

Forms long bones, derived from hyaline cartilage.

41
Q

Spongy area in flat bones

A

Diploe

42
Q

Primary and secondary ossification of endochondral long bones

A

Primary- ossification of the diaphysis (Shaft)

Secondary- ossification of the epiphysis (ends)

43
Q

Layers of the growth plate

A

Reserve- mitosis
proliferation- very active chondrogenic cells, undergoing mitosis
maturation- cell activity decreases but cell grows in size
hypertrophy/calcification- cells can no longer grow, being to calcify.
degernation- Cells are replaced by osteogenic cells
osteogenic - true bone

44
Q

Metaphysis

A

Transition layer between epiphysis and diaphysis. Transition from cartilage to bone.

45
Q

Bone repair simple mechanism

A

uses a hyaline cartilage template before osteogenic cells replace it. Healed fracture leaves behind secondary bone, or callus.

46
Q

Diarthroses

A

Freely moveable joint

47
Q

Synarthroses

A

Immoveable joint or minimal movement. Ex: hyaline cartilage in ribs, skull sutures

48
Q

Articular cartilage

A

Hyaline cartilage that covers the surface of bone. (Does not have a perichondrium. Do not want this cartilage to grow)

49
Q

Hernitated disc

A

Occurs when annulus fibrosis around the nucleus pulposus ruptures. When it ruptures, the nucleus pulposus will expand to fill the space, which results in compression of the spinal cord.

50
Q

Bisphosphonates

A

Indirectly block osteoclast activity.

Results in bone mass increase.
