Chapter 8 - Bone Flashcards
How do bone cells develop?
MSC > osteoprogenetors > osteoblast make matrix > encased in matrix and mineralization = osteocyte
What causes the differentiation from chondrocytes to osteocytes?
An increase in O2
What is bone made of?
Osteocytes
Type I and V collogen
Little ECM/group dubstant
What functions does bone provide?
Support
Protection of internal organs
Produces hormones: parathyroid and calcitonin
Does bone get high or low diffusion of nutrients? Why?
Low diffusion because it has very little ground substance
What two types of mulitadhesive glycoproteins are found in bone? What are their functions?
- Osteonectin - adhesive bewtwwen collagen and hydroxyapatite crystals
- Osteopontin - attaches cells to bone matrix
What fibers so you find in bone? What are their functions?
Type I collagen - structure
Type V collagen - support
Traces of other collagens
What GAGs and Proteoglycans can you find in bone? What do they contribute to?
Hyaluronan Chondroitin sulfate
Keratin sulfate
All contribute to compressive strength
What are canaliculi?
Rays extending from osteocytes toward the center of the osteon
Tunnels between adajent osteocytes
Connect by gap junctions
What are the 4 bone associated cell types?
- Osteoprogenitor cells
- Osteoblasts
- Bone-lining cells (remain when bone isn’t growing)
- Osteoclasts
What are the two types of bone tissue?
- Compact (dense)
- Spongy (cancellous)
What are the 4 types of bone?
- Long bone
- Short bone
- Flat bone (ex skull, sternum)
- Irregular (vertebrae)
Characteristics of compact bone?
Highly organized , dense
What are the holes in spongy tissue filled with?
Marrow
What are the three regions of the long bone?
- Epiphysis - on either end, spongy bone
- Metaphysis - where flairing occurs. Contains epiphysial plate
- Diaphysis - shaft, dense bone
What surrounds the entire bone execept on the very ends?
Periosteum
What is the periosteum?
outer layer: dense fibrous CT
inner layer: osteogenic layer
What is the endosteum?
Lines compact bone facing marrow cavity and trabeculae (plates?) of spongy bone
Houses osteoprogenitor cells
What does the marrow cavity consist of?
Blood cells and netowk of fibers
Red marrow vs yellow marrow
Red marrow is found in kid, more hematopoietic cells and RBC
Yellow marrow is found in adults, more adipose tissue
Osteon
Concentric lamallae that surround the haversian canal
Canaliculi
Passage for substances between osteocytes and blood vessels also tunnels connecting osteocytes
Interstitial Lamellae
Result from bone remodeling
Volkman’s canals
connect perioteal and endosteal surfaces to the haversian canal (middle of the osteon)
Is bone vascular or avascular?
Bone is highly vascular
What are nutrient foramina?
Openings in bone that allow blood vessels access to marrow
Of epiphysis, metaphysis, and diaphyses which are the most rich is vasculature?
Diaphysis
Epiphysis
How do osteoclasts develop?
Granulocyte/monocyte progenetor > osteoclast
Similar in function to macrophages
What two types of cells can osteoblasts differentiate into?
Osteocyte
Bone-lining
Where are osteoprogenitor cells located?
Inner layer of perioesum
Lining of marrow cavities, haversian canals, Volkmann’s cannals
What is the function of osteoblasts?
Bone-forming cell
Secrete osteiod
Secrete ALP
What do osteoblasts look like?
Cuboidal in shape
What is osteoid?
unmineralized bone matrix
What is ALP? What does it do?
Alkaline phophatase Initiate bone mineralization
What do osteocytes do?
Maintain bone matrix
Respond to mechanical forces applied to bone
What are osteocytes encased in?
Lacuna
How do osteocytes respond to different pressure??
Weighlessnes = reabsoption > decreased matrix
Quiescent = low matrix turn over, low rough ER
Formative = high rough ER and golgi bodies > creation of matrix
What do osteocytes do during reabsorption?
Increase the breakdown of calcium phosphate
What do bone-lining cells do?
Function in maintainence and nutritional support of osteocytes
