Q

elastic cartilage characteristics

A

possesses a perichondrium and is nearly identical to hyaline cartilage except for a network of elastic fibers, which impart a yellowish color. Although it contains type II collagen, it is less prone to degeneration than hyaline cartilage and is located in areas where flexible support is required.

Q

Fibrocartilage characteristics

A

lacks an identifiable perichondrium. It is characterized by alternating rows of fibroblast-derived chondrocytes surrounded by a scant matrix and thick parallel bundles of type I collagen fibers. Fibrocartilage is located in areas where support and tensile strength are required.

33
Q

34
Q

A

Cuboidal when active, flat when inactive (a.k.a., “bone-lining cells”)

35
Q

osteoblasts

A
  • Responsible for synthesis of organic matrix (e.g., type I collagen, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins) which they secrete as osteoid (uncalcified bone matrix)
  • Possess receptors for parathyroid hormone (PTH)
  • Become entrapped in lacunae (small spaces) but maintain contact with other cells via their cytoplasmic processes
36
Q

entrapped osteoblasts are ___

A

osteocytes

37
Q

Mature bone cells housed in their own lacunae (small spaces)

A

osteocytes

38
Q

how do osteocytes communicate

A

gap junctions

39
Q

Nourished and maintained by nutrients, metabolites, and signal molecules carried by the extracellular fluid that flows through the lacunae and canaliculi.

A

40
Q

calcium released from bone enters the extracellular fluid located within these spaces.

A

osteoclasts

42
Q

Osteoclasts (O) form and reside in depressions known as ______, which represent areas of bone resorption.

A

Howship’s lacunae

43
Q

Osteoclasts possess cell surface receptors:

A

colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor,

calcitonin receptor,

RANK (nuclear factor kappa B).

44
Q

osteoblasts that have been stimulated by PTH promote

A

PTH casues osteoblasts to decrease bone formation which releases osteoclast stimulating factor, this leads to increased bone resoprtion, liberation of calcium, in osteoclast formation

secreted by osteoblasts, is used to seal the zone between osteoclasts and the subosteoclastic compartment.

46
Q

A

vesicular zone of osteoclasts

48
Q

ruffled border of osteoclast

A

Site of active bone resorption

Composed of irregular fingerlike cytoplasmic projections extending into the subosteoclastic compartment, a slight depression that deepens as the osteoclast resorbs bone, resulting in Howship’s lacuna

49
Q

steps of bone resorption

A
  1. Osteoclasts secrete acid, which decalcifies the surface layer of bone.
  2. Acid hydrolases, collagenases, and other proteolytic enzymes secreted by osteoclasts then degrade the organic portion of the bone.
  3. Osteoclasts resorb the organic and inorganic residues of the bone matrix and release them into connective tissue capillaries.
