Chap 5: Bone (Cells) (exam 2) Flashcards
What are the cell types in bone?
- Osteoprogenitor
- Osteoblasts
- osteocytes
- bone lining cells
- osteoclasts
what is the appearance of osteoprogenitor cells?
Flat
where are osteoprogenitor cells located
endosteum and periosteum
osteoprogenitor cells are derived from where?
usually- mesenchyme cells
possibly- chondrogenic cells
what is the function of osteoprogenitor cells
usually to change into another bone cell type aka osteoblasts
can osteoprogenitor cells can or can not under go mitosis
yes they can
Osteoblasts appearance is what?
cuboid to columnar
what is the location of osteoblasts
endosteum and periosteum
osteoblasts are derived from what cell
osteoprogenitor cells
What are the functions of osteoblasts
produce osteoid,
produce materials (matrix vesicles),
respond to PTH directly
in response to PTH osteoblast will do what?
they will produce a factor OPG (that cause the creation of new osteoclasts),
secrete osteoclast stimulating factor (reabsorb bone),
cause them to produce enzymes to condition bone for osteoclasts
can osteoblast undergo mitosis
no
Osteocytes have what appearance
conforms to lacuna
what is the location of an osteocyte?
surrounded by bony matrix
What is the function of osteocytes?
- maintain the matrix and monitor the matrix
- release factors to influence osteoblast activity
- release factors to cause the creation of new osteoclasts
