Connective tissue (Bone) Flashcards
what are the 3 key cell types?
- osteoclasts
- osteoblasts
- osteoclasts
bone has a typical _______ organization
lamellar
__________ secrete the matrix that then hardens by calcification, trapping the differentiating cells now called osteocytes in individual lacunae
Osteoblasts
__________ maintain the calcified matrix and receive nutrients from microvasculature in the central canals of the osteons via very small channels called canaliculi that interconnect the lacunae
Osteocytes
The ____________ consists of dense connective tissue, with a primarily fibrous layer covering a more cellular layer
periosteum
Bone is vascularized by small vessels that penetrate the matrix from the periosteum. __________ covers all trabeculae around the marrow cavities
Endosteum
________ osteoblasts are more flattened and cover the bony surface
inactive
________ are located within lacunae surrounded by matrix
osteocytes
Osteoblasts secrete _________containing collagen type I, proteoglycans and other molecules, and matrix vesicles
osteoid
As osteoid undergoes calcification, hardens, and traps the osteoblasts, these cells differentiate further as _________
osteocytes
how are osteoclasts made?
produced by the fusion of blood monocytes, where they reside on bondy surfaces and erode the matrix during bone remodeling
________ secrete type I collagen, several glycoproteins, and proteoglycans
osteoblasts
Osteoblasts also release very small membrane-enclosed _______ ________ with which alkaline phosphatase and other enzymes are associated
matrix vesicles
what is an osteoclast?
large cell with several nuclei derived by the fusion in bone of several blood-derived monocytes
In living tissue the compact bone is covered externally with ______________ and all trabecular surfaces of cancellous bone are covered with ____________
periosteum, endosteum
