25
osteoblasts
-bone building cells -synthesize and secrete collagen fibers and other organic components needed to build the extracellular matrix and initiate calcification -surround themselves with extracellular matrix, trapped in secretion and become osteocytes
26
Osteocytes | what is it? function
-mature bone cells, main cells in tissue -maintain its daily metabolism such as exchange of nutrients and wastes in the blood -does not undergo cell division
27
blast
secretes extracellular matrix
28
cytes
monitors and maintains tissue
29
osteoclasts
-huge cell derived from the fusion of as many as 50 monocytes and concentrated in endosteum -osteoclasts plasma membrane is deeply folded into a ruffled border, here the cell releases lysomal enzymes and acid that digests the protein and minerals on the extracellular bone matrix
30
Compact bone tissue
-80% of skeleton -contains few spaces, strongest form of bone -found beneath periosteum, makes up bulk of diaphysis -provides protection, support, and resists stress of weight and movement
31
what does compact bone consist of?
-osteon -concentric lamellae -lacunae -canaliculi -interstitial lamellae -interosteonic canals -circumferential lamellae
32
osteon
-consist of concentric lamellae arranged around osteonic canal -aligned in same direction and are parallel to length of diaphysis which aids in helping resist break and fracture in long bone -not static, change overtime based on physical demands
33
concentric lamellae
-are circular plates of mineralized extracellular matrix of increasing diameter, surrounding a small network of blood vessels and nerves located in central canal
34
lucunae
small spaces between concentric lamellae which contain osteocytes
35
canliculi
-come from all direction from lacunae which are filled with extracellular fluid, inside are finger like process of osteocytes -connects lacunae with other central canals which forms connecting canals throughout the bone (route for nutrients and O2)
36
interstitial lamellae
-areas between neighbouring osteons, fragments of older osteons that have been partially destroyed during growth of rebuilding
37
interosteonic canals
how blood verssels and nerves from the periosteum penetrate the compact bone
38
circumferential lamellae
arranged the entire outer and inner circumference of the shaft pf the long bone, develop during initial bone formation
39
internal circumferential lamellae
line medullary cavity
40
external circumferential lamellae
deep to periosteum, connected by perforating fibers
41
Spongy bone | what does it consist of?
-always located in interior bone -consists of lamellae arranged in irregular pattern of thin collagens called trabeculae -macroscopic spaces that are filled with RBM that produce blood cells and yellow bone tissue -each trabeculae consists of concentric lamellae, osteocytes that lie in lacunae and canaliculi that radiate outward from lacunae -in long bone it forms core of epiphysis -always covered by layer of compact bone for protection -located where less physical stress occurs
42
how is spongy different than compact
-spongy is light -trabeculae of spongy support and protect bone marrow (hip bone, ribs, sternum, vertebrae, proximal end of humerus and femur -site of hemoposisis (cell production)
43
periosteal arteries
-small arteries accompanied by nerves, enter diaphysis through many interosteonic canals and supply the periosteum and outer part pf compact bone
44
nutrient artery
-near centre of diaphysis, passes though a hole in compact bone called nutrient foramen -when entering medulla cavity it divides into proximal and distal branches -branches supply inner part of compact bone in diaphysis and spongy and red bone marrow - some bones have 1, some have multiple
45
metaphyseal artery
enters the metaphysis pf a long bone and together with nutrient artery supply the red bone marrow and bone tissue of metaphyses
46
epiphyseal arteries
enter the epiphysis of long bone and supply red bone marrow and bone tissue of epiphysis
47
veins that carry blood away from the long bones are evident in 3 places
1. nutrient veins (1 or 2) 2. numerous epiphyseal veins and metaphyseal veins 3. periosteal veins
48
Nerves
accompany blood vessels that supply bones -periosteum is rich in nerves -sensitive to tearing and tension
49
Ossification: 4 principals situations
1. embryo and fetus 2.growth of bone during infancy, childhood, adolescence until adult 3. remodelling of bone 4.repair of fractures
50
bone formation in embryo and fetus
composed of mesenchyme in general shape of bone cartilage formation and ossification occur 6 weeks
51
bone formation in embryo and fetus 2 patterns
1. intramembraneous ossification 2. endochondrial ossification
52
Intramembraneous ossification location
flat bone of skull, facial bones, mandible and medial clavicle
53
Intramembraneous ossification steps
1. development of ossification center 2. calcification 3. formation of trabeculae 4. development of periosteum
54
development of ossification center
-specific chemical message cause cells of the mesenchyme to cluster together and differentiate- first into osteoprogenitor cells the into osteoblasts (cluster site is ossification center) -osteoblasts secrete organic extracellular matrix of bone until they are surrounded by it
55
calcification
-secretion of matrix stops, cells (now osteocytes) lie in lacunae and extend their narrow cytoplasmic processes into canaliculi that radiate in all directions -within a few days, calcium and other mineral salts and deposited and extracellular matrix hardens
56
formation of trabeculae
-as bone extracellular matrix forms, it develops into trabeculae that fuse into one another to form spongy bone around network of blood vessels -connective tissue associated the blood vessels in trabeculae differentiates into red bone marrow
57
development of periosteum
-same time as trabeculae, the mesenchyme condenses at the periphery of the bone and develops into the periosteum -thin layer of compact bone replaces the surface layer of spongy bone and spongy bone remains in center
58
Endochondrial ossification steps
1. development of cartilage model 2. growth of cartilage 3. development of primary ossification center 4. development of medullary cavity 5.development of secondary ossification center 6. formation of articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate
59
development of cartilage model
-on site where the bone is going to form, specific chemical messages cause the cells in the mesenchyme to crowd together in shape of future bone and the develop chondroblasts -chondroblasts secrete cartilage extracellular matrix, producing a cartilage model of hyaline cartilage -perichondrium develops around cartilage model
60
growth of cartilage
-when chondroblasts become deeply buried in cartilage extracellular matrix they are called chondrocytes -cell division of chondrocytes make bones grow longer and secretion of cartilage extracellular matrix -interstitial growth and appositional growth -chondrocytes in mid region increase in size and surrounding cartilage extracellular matrix calcify , others die because no nutrients as they die spaces left behind merge into small cavities
61
interstitial growth
growth from within
62
appositional growth
growth of cartilage in thickness due to deposition of extracellular matrix material on the cartilage surface by new chondroblasts that develop from the perichondrium
63
development of primary ossification center
-proceeds inward from external surface of bone -nutrient artery penetrate perichondrium and calcifying cartilage model through a nutrient foramen, stimulating osteoprogenitor cells in perichondrium to change into osteoblasts -once perichondrium start to form bone, periosteal capillaries grow into disintegrating calcified cartilage, inducing growth of primary ossification centers -osteoblast begin to deposit bone extracellular matrix over remnants of calcified cartilage forming spongy bone trabeculae
64
development of medullary cavity
-during primary ossification center development, osteoclasts breakdown newly formed spongy bone trabeculae -this leaves a cavity in diaphysis -eventually most of the diaphysis wall will be compact bone
65
development of secondary ossification center
-develops when branches of epiphyseal artery enter epiphysis -similar to primary but spongy bone remains in the interior of epiphyses -proceeds outward
66
formation of articular cartilage and epiphyses (growth) plate
-hyaline cartilage that covers epiphyses become articular cartilage -before adulthood, hyaline remains between diaphysis and epiphysis as growth plate
67
growth in length involves 2 major events
1. interstitial growth of cartilage on epiphyseal side of epiphyseal plate 2. replacement of cartilage on diaphysial side of epiphyseal plate with bone by endochondrial ossification
68
4 zones of epiphyseal plate
1. zone of resting cartilage 2. zone of proliferating cartilage 3. zone of hypertrophic cartilage 4. zone of calcified cartilage
69
zone of resting cartilage
-layer nearest epiphysis -consists of small, scattered chondrocytes -anchor epiphyseal plate to epiphysis , do not function in bone growth
70
zone of proliferating cartilage
-larger chondrocytes, stacked like coins -undergo interstitial growth, they divide to replace those that died of diaphysis side
71
zone of hypertrophic cartilage
-consists of large, mature chondrocytes arranged in columns
72
zone of calcified cartilage
-few cells thick and consists of chondrocytes that are dead because extracellular matrix has calcified -osteoclasts dissolve calcified cartilage and osteoblasts and capillaries invade area -osteoblasts lay down bone extracellular matrix, replacing cartilage by endochondrial ossification
73
growth in thickness step 1
1. at bone surface, periosteal cells differentiate into osteoblasts (secretes collagen fibers and organic molecules to form extracellular matrix). Osteoblasts get surrounded by extracellular matrix and develop into osteocytes. -Process forms bone ridges on both sides of periosteal blood vessel -ridges slowly enlarge and create groove for periosteal blood vessels
74
growth in thickness step 2
-ridges fold together and fuse -the groove becomes a tunnel that encloses the blood vessel -periosteum is now the endosteum that lines the tunnel -
75
growth in thickness step 3
-osteoblasts in endosteum deposit bone extracellular matrix, forming new concentric lamellae -formation of additional concentric lamellae proceeds inward toward peristeal blood vessel -tunnel fill in and new osteon is created
76
growth in thickness step 4
-as osteon is forming, osteoblasts under the periosteum deposit new circumferential lamellae which increases the thickness -as additional periosteal blood vessels become enclosed step 1 continues
77
Remodelling bone involves
replacing old bone tissue 1. bone resorption 2. bone deposition
78
what is remodelling triggered by?
-exercise -sedentary lifestyle -change in diet -injury
79
what % of bone mass is being remodelled
5%
80
benefits of bone remodelling
-grow thicker and stronger -change shape to provide support -more resistant to fracture
81
bone resorption
removal of minerals and collagen fibers from bone through osteoclasts
82
bone deposition
-addition of minerals and collagen from osteoblasts
83
resorption process
-osteoclasts attach tightly to bone surface at the endosteum or periosteum and form leak proof seal at edge of ruffled border -then releases protein digesting lysosomal enzymes into sealed pocket which dissolves bone minerals -osteoclasts carve small tunnel in old bone -degraded bone protein and extracellular matrix minerals enter osteoclasts by endocytosis, cross in vesicles then undergo exocytosis on other side -interstitial fluid products diffuse into blood capillaries -once absorbed, osteoclasts depart and osteoblasts move in to rebuild
84
factors affecting bone growth and remodelling
1. minerals -large amount of calcium and phosphorus and small amount of magnesium, floride and manganese 2. vitamins -vit A stims osteoblasts -vit C synthesizes collagen -vit D increases absorption of calcium in food 3. hormones -insulin like growth factor stim osteoblasts, promote cell division at growth plate and periosteum and enhance synthesis of proteins -thyroid hormone (t3 and T4) stim osteoblasts insulin synthesizes bone proteins -sex hormones growth spurts, stops growth of epiphyseal plate , increases osteoblast, -estrogen slows resorption by promoting apoptosis of osteoclasts
85
Bone's role in calcium homeostasis
-bone is calcium reservoir -maintain level of calcium in blood by controlling rate of calcium resorption from bone into blood and calcium deposition from blood to bone -helps buffer blood Ca2 level into blood plasma (using osteoclasts) when the level lower and absorbing calcium (using osteoblasts) when level rises -Ca2 exchange is regulated by parathyroid gland, it increases blood Ca 2 level
86
calcitrol
hormone that promotes absorption of calcium from food
87
calcitonin
inhibits activity of osteoclasts, speeds blood Ca 2 uptake by bone and accelerates Ca2 deposition into bones
88
calcium homeostasis negative feed back system | -controlled condition -receptor -input -control centre -output -effecto
-stimulus disrupts homeostasis by decreasing -controlled condition: blood calcium level Ca2 -receptor: parathyroid gland cells -input: detect lowered Ca2 concentration which increases production of cyclic AMP -control center: parathyroid hormone gene -output: when gene is turned on which increases release of PTH -effector: osteoclasts increase bone resorption, kidneys retain Ca2 in blood and excrete phosphate and produce calcitrol -response: increase blood Ca2 level return to homeostasis when response brings blood Ca2 level to normal
