  2. calcification
  3. formation of trabeculae
  4. development of periosteum
54
Q

development of ossification center

A

-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
Q

calcification

A

-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
Q

formation of trabeculae

A

-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
Q

development of periosteum

A

-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
Q

Endochondrial ossification steps

A
  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
  5. formation of articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate
59
Q

development of cartilage model

A

-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
Q

growth of cartilage

A

-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
Q

interstitial growth

A

growth from within

62
Q

appositional growth

A

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
Q

development of primary ossification center

A

-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
Q

development of medullary cavity

A

-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
Q

development of secondary ossification center

A

-develops when branches of epiphyseal artery enter epiphysis
-similar to primary but spongy bone remains in the interior of epiphyses
-proceeds outward

66
Q

formation of articular cartilage and epiphyses (growth) plate

A

-hyaline cartilage that covers epiphyses become articular cartilage
-before adulthood, hyaline remains between diaphysis and epiphysis as growth plate

67
Q

growth in length involves 2 major events

A
  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
Q

4 zones of epiphyseal plate

A
  1. zone of resting cartilage
  2. zone of proliferating cartilage
  3. zone of hypertrophic cartilage
  4. zone of calcified cartilage
69
Q

zone of resting cartilage

A

-layer nearest epiphysis
-consists of small, scattered chondrocytes
-anchor epiphyseal plate to epiphysis , do not function in bone growth

70
Q

zone of proliferating cartilage

A

-larger chondrocytes, stacked like coins
-undergo interstitial growth, they divide to replace those that died of diaphysis side

71
Q

zone of hypertrophic cartilage

A

-consists of large, mature chondrocytes arranged in columns

72
Q

zone of calcified cartilage

A

-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
Q

growth in thickness step 1

A
  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
Q

growth in thickness step 2

A

-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
Q

growth in thickness step 3

A

-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
Q

growth in thickness step 4

A

-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
Q

Remodelling bone involves

A

replacing old bone tissue
1. bone resorption
2. bone deposition

78
Q

A

5%

80
Q

benefits of bone remodelling

A

-grow thicker and stronger

-more resistant to fracture

81
Q

bone resorption

A

removal of minerals and collagen fibers from bone through osteoclasts

82
Q

bone deposition

A

-addition of minerals and collagen from osteoblasts

83
Q

resorption process

A

-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
Q

factors affecting bone growth and remodelling

A
  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
Q

Bone’s role in calcium homeostasis

A

-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
Q

calcitrol

A

hormone that promotes absorption of calcium from food

87
Q

calcitonin

A

inhibits activity of osteoclasts, speeds blood Ca 2 uptake by bone and accelerates Ca2 deposition into bones

88
Q

calcium homeostasis negative feed back system

-controlled condition
-receptor
-input
-control centre
-output
-effecto

A

-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
