Q

What is the difference between intramembranous and endochondrial ossification

A

Intramembraneous - bone forms directly within the mesenchyme
Endochondrial - bone forms within hyaline cartilage developed from mesenchyme

35
Q

4 steps of intramembranous ossification

A

1: develop the ossification centre
2: calcification
3: trabeculae formation
4: periosteum development

36
Q

Step 1 of intramembranous ossification: developing the ossification centre

A

Chemical messages cause the mesenchyme cells to cluster (this site is the ossification centre)
Mesenchyme cells then differentiate (osteoprogenitor form into osteoblasts)

37
Q

Step 2 of intramembranous ossification: calcification

A
  • secretion if extracellular matrix stops
  • osteocytes in lacunae extend into the canalculi
  • calcium mineral salts deposit and the extra cellular matrix hardens causing “calcification”
38
Q

Step 3 of intramembranous ossification: trabeculae formation

A
  • bone forms and develop trabeculae which fuse with another and form “spongy bone” around blood vessels
  • connective tissue with blood vessels in the trabeculae differentiate into red bone marrow
39
Q

Step 4 of intramembranous ossification: periosteum development

A
  • mesenchyme condense at the edge of the bone to form the periosteum
  • compact none replace the surface layer of spongy bone which remains in the center
40
Q

6 steps of endochondrial ossification

A
  1. Develop cartilage model
  2. Cartilage model growth
  3. Primary ossification centre development
  4. Medullary cavity development
  5. Secondary ossification centre development
  6. Articulation cartilage and epiphyseal growth plate formation
41
Q

Step 1 of endochondrial ossification: cartilage model development

A

Chemical messages cause mesenchyme cells to CROWD together and form the bones shape
- develop chondroblasts: which secrete cartilage extracellular matrix, produce a cartilage model of hyaline cartilage and perichondrium develops around the model

42
Q

Step 2 of endochondrial ossification: growth of cartilage model

A

Chondroblasts bury in the extracellular matrix and become chondrocytes
Chondrocytes hypertrophy and surround the cartilage extracellular matrix causing it to calcify
The lacunae form, and chondrocytes begin to die as they can no longer diffuse through the harder matrix, when they die they leave spaces/small cavities

43
Q

How does growth in length occur when the cartilage model grows

A

Interstitial endogenous growth: Cell division if the chondrocytes and secretion of cartilage extracellular matrix

44
Q

How does growth in width occur when the cartilage model grows

A

Appositional exogenous growth: the deposit of extracellular matrix material on the surface of the model by new chondroblasts of the perichondrium

45
Q

Step 3 of endochondrial ossification: developing the primary ossification centre

A
  • Nutrient artery penetrate the perichondrium and calcify the cartilage model via nutrient foramen
  • This stimulates osteoprogenitor cells to differentiate into osteoblasts
  • PERICHONDRIUM becomes PERIOSTEUM when bone is formed
  • periosteal capillaries grow into disintegrated calcified cartilage (promotes GROWTH of the primary ossification centre)
  • primary ossification center is the SITE where BONE REPLACES CARTILAGE
  • osteoblasts deposit bond extracellulsr matrix from calcified cartilage and form spongy bone trabeculae
46
Q

Step 4 of endochondrial ossification: medullary cavity development

A

Osteoclasts breakdown the newly formed trabeculae replacing it with compact bone on the diaphysis wall

47
Q

Step 5 of endochondrial ossification: secondary ossification center development

A

Branches of the epiphyseal artery ENTER the epiphysis
- difference from primary is that secondary proceeds outwards (from center to surface)
- spongy bone remain in the interior and there is no medullary cavity

48
Q

Step 6 of endochondrial ossification: formation of articulation cartilage and epiphyseal growth plate

A

Hyaline cartilage covering the epiphysis becomes articulate cartilage
Hyaline remains at the epiphyseal growth plate and is responsible for lengthwise growth

49
Q

Interstitial growth vs appositional growth

A

Interstitial: responsible for length, grows the cartilage of the epiphyseal side of the epiphyseal plate
Appositional: responsible for width which occurs in the diaphysis (in the periosteum and endosteum)

50
Q

Length of the bone in the diaphysis side occurs by

A

Replacing cartilage by endochondrial ossification

51
Q

Process of Appositional growth

A

Occurs at the surface
1. Periosteal cells differentiate into osteoblasts which secrete collagen fibers and form extracellular matrix
2. The osteoblasts then form into osteocytes and cream a ridge on both sides of the Periosteal blood vessels
3. The ridge enlarges and creates a groove when it folds over and fuses (tunnel) and enclosed around the blood vessel
4. Periosteum becomes endosteum
5. Osteoblasts of the endosteum form the Lamellae
6. tunnel fills and forms Osteons
7. Cycle repeats increasing the thickness of the bone

52
Q

4 zones of bone growth for length

A

Resting cartilage
Proliferating cartilage
Hypertrophic cartilage
Calcified cartilage

53
Q

Resting cartilage

A

Scattered chondrocytes
Anchor to epiphyseal plate

54
Q

Proliferating cartilage

A

Larger chondrocytes arranged in stacks
Divide and replace dead chondrocytes in the diaphysis side and secrete extracellular matrix

55
Q

Hypertrophic cartilage

A

Matured chondrocytes arranged in columns

56
Q

Calcified cartilage

A

Dead chondrocytes and calcified matrix
Osteoclasts dissolve calcified cartilage
Osteoblasts and capillaries invade and replace cartilage with bone

57
Q

What is bone remodeling

A

Replacing old bone tissue with new

58
Q

What is involved in bone remodeling

A

Resorption and deposition

59
Q

Bone resorption is the

A

Removal of mineral and collagen fibers FROM bone by OSTEOCLASTS (occurs by DESTRUCTION of extracellular matrix)

60
Q

Bone deposition is the

A

ADDITION of minerals and collagen fibers TO bone by OSTEOBLASTS (FORM the extracellular matrix)

61
Q

Process of bone resorption

A
  1. Osteoclasts attach to surface (endosteum and periosteum) and form a leak proof seal on the ruffled border
  2. Osteoclasts then release enzymes to digest collagen fibers and acids that dissolve minerals (from bone)
  3. Osteoclasts forms a tunnel (like vesicle) in the old bone
  4. Degraded bone minerals and proteins enter the cell (osteoclast) via Endocytosis, and cross the cell, to then exit via exocytosis on the ruffled border side
  5. The dissolved substances that exit now enter the interstitial fluid to be resorbed into the blood
  6. The osteoclasts then leave allowing osteoblasts to move in and rebuild bone
62
Q

Factors that affect bone growth

A

minerals, vitamins, hormones, and sex hormones

63
Q

What minerals help with bone growth

A

Calcium and phosphate

64

67
Q

What vitamin helps with building bone and absorbing calcium for bone growth

A

Vitamin D

68
Q

What vitamins help with synthesizing bone proteins

A

Vitamin K and B12

69
Q

How does insulin-like factors help with bone growth

A

-IGF stimulates osteoblasts the promote cell division and enhance protein synthesis

70
Q

How does thyroid hormones help with bone growth

A

T1 and T2 stimulate osteoblasts

71
Q

How does sex hormones help with bone growth

A

Estrogens and androgens
Adrenal glands produce androgens that convert to estrogen
Estrogen increase osteoblast activity and synthesis if the bones extracellular matrix (increase in activity causes growth spurts in adolescents as they have an increase in estrogen during puberty)
In adulthood sex hormones slows resorption of old bone and promotes deposition for remodeling
Estrogen slows resorption by promoting apoptosis of osteoclasts

72
Q

Why is maintaining calcium levels important

A
  1. Nerve and muscle cells depend on stable levels of calcium ion in extra cellular fluid to function for movement
  2. Important for blood clotting
  3. Enzymes rely on calcium as a cofactor
  4. Any change in calcium concentration can be fatal
73
Q

If calcium concentration is high it can

A

Stop the heart

74
Q

If calcium concentration is low it can

A

Stop breathing

75
Q

What is the role of bone in calcium concentration

A

Bone is the body’s biggest calcium reservoir
- maintains the rate of calcium being RESORBED INTO BLOOD and DEPOSITED INTO BONE
- acts as a buffer for blood calcium concentration

76
Q

Calcium gets released into blood by ______ when levels ______

A

Osteoclasts
Decrease

77
Q

Calcium gets absorbed from the blood by _______ when levels _______

A

Osteoblasts
Increase

78
Q

How is calcium levels regulated

A
  • The exchange of calcium concentration is mainly regulated by the parathyroid hormone (PTH) secreted by parathyroid glands
  • PTH increase blood calcium levels when it is low via negative feedback system
  • PTH also act on kidneys (effector) to decrease the loss of calcium in urine by retaining it in the blood
  • PTH STIMULATE CALCITROL (a form of Vit D) to promote absorption of calcium into the GI tract from food
  • can also be regulated by CALCITONIN which is secreted by parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland (inhibit activity if osteoclasts therefor increase calcium uptake and deposition)
79
Q

Negative feedback system of low blood calcium levels: stimulus

A

The blood calcium levels drop

80
Q

Negative feedback system of low blood calcium levels: receptor

A

Parathyroid gland cells detect the change
Which increase production of cyclic AMP

81
Q

Negative feedback system of low blood calcium levels: input

A

The increase in cyclic AMP is detected intracellularly and sends signals to the control center

82
Q

Negative feedback system of low blood calcium levels: control center

A

PTH gene in nucleus of parathyroid gland defects the signal of increase cyclic AMP

83
Q

Negative feedback system of low blood calcium levels: output

A

increased PTH synthesis and control center releases more PTH to synthesize

84
Q

Negative feedback system of low blood calcium levels: effector

A

The increase level of PTH increase the number and activity of osteoclasts
Osteoclasts act as a catalyst and speed up resorption and release more calcium into the blood from bone to stabilize levels
