Chapter 5 Flashcards
The inorganic matrix of bone is composed of what? (3)
- Hydroxyapatite crystals
- Calcium phosphate
- Other minerals
What are the four main functions of bone?
- Structural support
- Serve as levers for muscles/ locomotion
- Protect organs and house bone marrow
- Metabolic reserve for minerals
The organic matrix of bone is made of?
Collagen, GAG’s, glycoproteins
Which type of GAG’s are more numerous in the organic matrix of bone? Sulfated or nonsulfated
Sulfated (primarily chondroitin and keratin sulfates)
Do adults or children have a Higher percentage of organic matrix?
Children
What is the appearance of an osteoblast?
Cuboid or columnar
What are the two locations that an osteoblast is typically found?
Endosteum and periosteum
What are glycoproteins?
Minerals that bind to collagen
Where are osteoprogenitors derived from?
Mesenchyme cells
What is the function of an osteoprogenitor?
To change into an osteoblast
What is the only bone cell to undergo mitosis?
Osteoprogenitor cell
Which bone cell functions to create an osteoid, Produce an anti-inhibitor that neutralizes CIF, and responds to PTH?
Osteoblast
How does the osteoblast respond to PTH?
Osteoblast produce a factor (OPGL) which causes the creation of more osteoclasts » Osteoblast produce osteoclast stimulating factor » Osteoblast produce proteins/enzymes which condition bone surface for osteoclasts
Which bone cell functions to maintain the matrix?
Osteocytes
What is the small area between the osteoclast and a howships lacuna called?
Subasteoclastic compartment (area of bone reabsorbtion)
PTH directly activates ______ and indirectly activates ________?
Direct - osteoblast
Indirect - osteoclast (osteoblast to produce osteoclast stimulating factor).
What hormone decreases osteoclast activity?
Calcitonin
Primary bone = mature bone? True or False
False
