Osteoclasts

A

multinucleated macrophage formed from about 50 monocytes and releases both acid & lysosomal enzymes to perform bone resorption. Osteoclasts sit in spaces w/in endosteum

41
Q

Compact Bone

A

accounts for about 80% of bone, very strong to handle compression:

  • Osteon (Haversian System)
  • Circumferential lamellae
  • Lacunae: region between lamellae which house osteocytes.
  • Canaliculi
  • Perforating Canals (canals of Volkmann)
42
Q

Osteon (Haversian System)

A

the functional unit of compact bone consisting of repetitive concentric lamellae of bone tissue w/central canal w/a blood vessel.

43
Q

Circumferential lamellae

A

Outer most layer of compact bone under periosteum.

44
Q

Canaliculi

A

little canals through which osteocytes send cytoplasmic extensions to communicate with other osteocytes (w/gap junctions) and the blood supply.

45
Q

Perforating Canals (canals of Volkmann)

A

vessels that enter the bone perpendicular to the diaphysis surface to reach osteon vessels and yellow marrow.

46
Q

Spongy (cancellous) Bone

A

less dense (lighter) than compact bone composed of struts of bone called trabeculae which handles stress in many directions.

47
Q

Trabeculae

A

is osseous tissue of spongy bone which is arranged in struts to handle stress in many directions. Covered with an incomplete layer of endosteum.

48
Q

Red Bone Marrow

A

fills the space between trabecula containing reticular CT with hemopoietic tissue to synthesize blood elements.

49
Q

Lacunae & canaliculi

A

have same role as in compact tissue.

50
Q

Bone Growth

A

begins during fetal development & extends through adolescence. Growth is by one of two methods: Endochondral or Intramembranous.

51
Q

Intramembranous Ossification

A

development of bone directly from embryonic CT, and is associated with flat bones such as skull, mandible & clavical often called dermal ossification

  1. Ossification centers
  2. Ossification
  3. Trabeculae formation
  4. Red Bone Marrow
  5. Periosteum
  6. Outer Compact Bone
52
Q

Ossification centers IO

A

Intramembranous Ossification - ONE

mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts and ossification occurs in fetal (flat) bones.

53
Q

Ossification IO

A

Intramembranous Ossification - TWO

Once osteoblast secrete a matrix in which salts crystallize.

54
Q

Trabeculae formation IO

A

Intramembranous Ossification - THREE

ossification proceeds as struts or plates of bone which fuse and separate leading to the formation of spongy bone.

55
Q

Red Bone Marrow IO

A

Intramembranous Ossification - FOUR

Red Bone Marrow: blood vessels proliferate into spaces between trabeculae and then develop into red bone marrow.

56
Q

Periosteum IO

A

Intramembranous Ossification - FIVE

In the last stages of endochondral development, mesenchyme condenses in the periphery forming a periosteum with an inner cellular layer (osteogenic progenitor cells) and fibrous outer layer (dense irregular CT).

57
Q

Outer Compact Bone IO

A

Intramembranous Ossification - SIX

is then formed from periosteum leaving the spongy bone sandwiched by outer compact bone with osteons.

58
Q

Endochondral Ossification

A

more common in which the bone forms from hyaline cartilage, and then becomes replaced by osteoid tissue:

59
Q

Cartilage model EO

A

Endochondral Ossification - ONE

mesenchyme differentiates into chondroblasts creating fetal bones composed of hyaline cartilage. This bone has both interstitial (lengthen) & appositional (widening) growth

60
Q

Cartilage Model grows EO

A

Endochondral Ossification - TWO

after chondroblasts lay down a collagen matrix, they mature to chondrocytes which receive nutrients through diffusion, and larger older cells in center of shaft start to die, as boney collar begins to develop externally.

61
Q

Boney Collar EO

A

Endochondral Ossification - THREE

a nutrient artery converts perichondrium into a periosteum which begins to lay down a boney collar allowing blood vessels to invade cartilage.

62
Q

Primary ossifications sites EO

A

Endochondral Ossification - FOUR

In fetus, invading nutrient artery brings mesenchymal cells that become osteoblasts replacing old dying chondrocytes in the center of the shaft, thus producing spongy bone within diaphysis (epiphysis remains cartilage).

63
Q

Medullary Cavity EO

A

Endochondral Ossification - FIVE

Osteoclasts then hollow out the center of the diaphyseal shaft.

64
Q

Secondary ossification sites EO

A

Endochondral Ossification - SIX

Around the time of birth, an epiphyseal artery will convert perichondrium to a periosteum and allow blood vessel in to the epiphysis ossifying the cartilage from the inside outward. Trabeculae remains along with red bone marrow (not a hollow marrow).

65
Q

Articular cartilage EO

A

Endochondral Ossification - SEVEN

hyaline cartilage remains on ends of epiphysis where bone articulates with another. This region is covered w/perichondrium not periosteum.

66
Q

Epiphyseal (Metaphyseal) plate EO

A

Endochondral Ossification - EIGHT

Regions that remains hyaline cartilage and undergoes interstitial growth until closes when entirely replaced by osteoid matrix

67
Q

Zone of Resting Cartilage

A

EO. superior layer of chondrocytes closest to the epiphysis.

68
Q

Zone of Proliferation

A

EO. next layer which contains mitotically active chondrocytes.

69
Q

Zone of Hypertrophic Cartilage

A

EO. lower layer with enlarging maturing chondrocytes moving closer to the diaphysis.

70
Q

Zone of Calcified Cartilage

A

EO. lowest layer abutting boney diaphysis and contains large dead chondrocytes in calcified matrix and becomes replaced by advancing osteoblasts from the primary ossification site.

71
Q

Epiphyseal line

A

Endochondral Ossification - NINE

shortly after puberty, osteoblast activity overtakes chondrocyte proliferation and the growth plate closes halting interstitial growth.

72
Q

Appositional growth

A

Endochondral Ossification - TEN
- is a widening of the bone that occurs from periosteum

a. Osteogenic progenitor cells of periosteum differentiate into osteoblasts which secrete boney matrix. Differentiation is greatest around periosteal blood vessels resulting in boney ridges.
b. Tunnel is formed around blood vessels and ridges merge on each side.
c. Osteons: as bone is laid down around the blood vessel creating concentric lamellae proceeding inward. Older layers are further away from blood vessel.
d. Circumferential lamellae from directly from osteogenic layer under the periosteum. Osteons and circumferential lamellae are part of appositional growth.

73
Q

Dynamics of Bone

A

bone remodels throughout life with osteoblasts building new bone and osteoclasts causing bone resorption. Bones reshape according to the applied stress.

74
Q

Nutritional effects

A

Influence growth & maintenance:

  • Calcium & Phosphorus: needed for matrix
  • Vit. D3: required for synthesis of Calcitriol
  • Vit C: required for enzymatic reactions in collagen formation.
75
Q

Hormone Effects

A

Influence growth & maintenance:
Calcitriol
Growth Hormone & Thyroid Hormone
Sex hormones

76
Q

Calcitriol

A

hormone synthesized in kidney and stimulated Calcium absorption from the gut.

77
Q

Growth Hormone & Thyroid Hormone

A

both increase chondrocyte activity (of growth plate) & osteoblast activity.

78
Q

Sex hormones

A

stimulates osteoblastic activity so that it eventually out-paces chondrocyte activity and closes the growth plate.

79
Q

Mineral Reservoir

A

Bone serves as a calcium reservoir:
Parathyroid hormone
Calcitonin

80
Q

Skeletal System as a Calcium Reserve

A

thus maintaining calcium homeostasis. Calcium ions play a major role in nerve and muscle activity.

81
Q

Low calcium levels (35% drop)

A

will result in hyper-excitable neurons with convulsions.

82
Q

High calcium levels (30% rise)

A

can make neurons and cardiac muscles unresponsive.

83
Q

Parathyroid hormone released when… (and its effects)

A

is released in response to low blood calcium and serves to raise the blood calcium level at the expense of calcium loss from bone

  • Stimulates osteoclast activity and enhances recycling of minerals by osteocytes.
  • Increases the rate of intestinal absorption of calcium ions from the gut by working synergistically with Calcitriol.
  • Decrease the rate of calcium excretion by the kidneys.
84
Q

Calcitonin released when… (and its effects)

A

is released in response to high blood calcium and serves to lower the blood calcium level by storing more calcium in bone:
Inhibiting Osteoclast activity such that osteoblastic activity dominates.
Increasing the rate of calcium excretion by the kidneys.

85
Q

Fracture

A

of bone can heal completely because it is so metabolically active. Some of the more common fractures are characterized as:

  • Stress fracture
  • Closed (simple) fracture
  • Open (compound) fractures
  • Comminuted fracture
  • Greenstick fracture
  • Impacted fracture
  • Pott’s fracture
  • Colles’ fracture
86
Q

Colles’ fracture

A

fracture of the distal radius (lateral forearm) in which the distal end (attached to the wrist) is displaced posteriorly.

87
Q

Pott’s fracture

A

is a fracture of the distal fibula of the lateral leg which seriously injures the tibia’s articulation with the ankle.

88
Q

Impacted fracture

A

one end of the bone is driven into the interior or the other end of the bone.

89
Q

Greenstick fracture

A

a partial fracture in which one end breaks and the other bends. This is seen in young children in which the bones are like a live branch and do not completely snap.

90
Q

Comminuted fracture

A

in which the ends of the fracture splinter leaving bone fragment between the fractured ends.

91
Q

Open fractures

A

(Compound) where the broken ends protrude through the skin.

92
Q

Closed fracture

A

(Simple) is a break that does not break the skin.

93
Q

Stress fracture

A

is a series of microscopic fissures in the bone without any evidence of injuries to other tissues.

94
Q

Fracture Healing

A

Fracture Healing occurs in stages:

  1. Fracture Hematoma
  2. Fibrocartilaginous callus
  3. Boney callus
  4. Bone remodeling
95
Q

Fracture Hematoma

A

FRACTURE HEALING - ONE

develops from broken blood vessels which bleed into the injured site w/in 6 -8 hrs. As normal circulation is interrupted, nearby bone cells die and swelling an inflammation ensues. Phagocytes move into the site to remove the debris over the next several weeks.

96
Q

Fibrocartilaginous callus

A

FRACTURE HEALING - TWO

formation occurs over the next 3 weeks. During this time, fibroblasts from the periosteum invade the injured site and produce collagen and cartilage to bridge the injured site and serve as a platform for bone repair.

97
Q

Boney Callus

A

FRACTURE HEALING - THREE

starts to form 3-4 wks when osteogenic bone cells (from well-vascularized regions) in the periphery of the fracture site differentiate into osteoblasts and gradually replace the Fibrocartilage callus with spongy bone (moving from the periphery inward). The boney callus lasts about 3 – 4 months.

98
Q

Bone Remodelling

A

FRACTURE HEALING - FOUR

occurs in the final stages in which bone takes on a more normal appearance. Osteoclasts reabsorb all the dead fragments, and osteoblasts of the periosteum replace spongy bone with compact bone.

99
Q

Aging and Demineralization

A

With aging, osteoclastic resorption out-paces osteoblastic activity (which is normally protected by sex hormones), resulting in osteopenia (demineralization) or osteoporosis (pathological demineralization).
