Exam 2 - Osteochondrogenesis and Joint Components Flashcards
bone histogenesis
occurs by intramembranous and endochondral bone formation - both produce bone that appears histologically identical
bone remodeling
combo of bone formation and resorption that occurs throughout life: old osteons constantly replaced as osteoclasts form an erosion tunnel, apoptose after 2 weeks, then osteoblasts form new osteon
where does bone remodeling occur
inside compact bone and at bone surfaces
speed of bone remodeling: primary vs. secondary bone
slower process in secondary bone than primary bone
composition of old osteon
high mineral content, low water content
relationship b/w bone and calcium
bone is buffer for calcium - [calcium] determined by rate at which calcium enters and leaves bone
cementing/reversal line
line of cementing substance put down by osteoblasts first - highly mineralized with little collagen
bone turnover in adults?
about 10% each year
what bones form by intramembranous bone formation?
flat bones: skull, facial bones, mandible, clavicle, pelvis - occurs in highly vascular mesenchymal tissue
what signaling patterns control intramembranous bone formation?
signals from polypeptides of Wnt, hedgehog, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and transforming growth factor-Beta families
does intramembranous bone formation ever occur in endochondral bone?
yes - with healing of mild fractures
IBF - what forms primary ossification centers?
mesenchymal cells condense into primary os centers
what do mesenchymal cells in primary os centers differentiate into?
osteoblasts that begin secreting osteoid collagen
IBF- what happens after osteoblasts become trapped in matrix?
become osteocytes - small spicules of developing bone unite to form trabeculae
IBF- what does fusion of bony trabeculae form?
spongy bone
IBF- what happens once spongy bone is formed?
blood vessels invade and other undifferentiated mesenchymal cells give rise to bone marrow
IBF- where do the periosteum and endosteum differentiate from?
areas of mesenchymal tissues that do not undergo ossification
IBF- initial woven bone is turned into what in the outer and inner layers?
outer layer - converts to lamellar bone; inner layer -remains spongy (diploe)
what bones form by endochondral bone formation?
long bones
EBF- what is the purpose of hyaline cartilage?
serves as a small model for bone and as scaffold for bone development (bone follows cartilage)
EBF- what are the two stages?
development of primary and secondary ossification centers
EBF- Where does the primary os center develop?
at midriff of diaphysis of cartilaginous model
EBF- How is perichondrium turned into periosteum?
vascularization of perichondrium transforms chondrogenic cells to osteoprogenitor cells then osteoblasts (now periosteum)
EBF- what do osteoblasts first produce on surface of cartilaginous model?
subperiosteal bone collar by intramembranous bone formation
EBF- what causes cartilage matrix in diaphysis to begin to calcify?
chondrocytes become hypertrophic and secrete collagen X and VEGF
EBF- how does cartilage calcification affect chondrocytes?
calcified cartilage matrix inhibits nutrient diffusion and hypertrophied chondrocytes die
EBF- what forms the primitive marrow cavity?
lacunae becoming confluent when hypertrophied chondrocytes die due to inhibited nutrient diffusion
EBF- what do osteoclasts do with the bone collar?
create perforations in it, permitting periosteal buds to enter primitive marrow cavity in cartilage model - cartilage in walls of these spaces now becomes calcified
EBF- what are contained in periosteal buds?
blood vessels, osteoprogenitor cells, mesenchymal cells
EBF- where is osteoid/bone matrix made?
made/calcified on surface of calcified cartilage, forming a calcified cartilage-calcified bone complex
EBF- what happens after formation of the calcified cartilage-calcified bone complex begins to form?
subperiosteal bone collar thickens and elongates toward epiphyses
EBF- how do osteoclasts affect the calcified cartilage-calcified bone complex?
they begin to resorb the complex and enlarge the marrow cavity
EBF- describe the direction of bone formation
spreads from primary os center towards epiphyses
how does calcified cartilage stain
basophilic
how does calcified bone stain
acidophilic
EBF- Where and when do the secondary os centers form?
at epiphyses after diaphyseal os centers well established - when osteoprogenitor cells invade epiphyses and differentiate into osteoblasts
EBF- How do secondary os centers form?
similarly to primary ossification
EBF- where is cartilage located after the epiphyses are filled with bone tissue?
articular surfaces and epiphyseal plates
Epiphyseal plate growth?
new cartilage added to epiphyseal end while being replaced at diaphyseal end
How does articular cartilage contribute to bone growth?
it doesn’t
closing of growth plates
diaphyseal and epiphyseal bone become continuous, connecting the two epiphyseal marrow cavities - around 20 y/o
zone of reserve?
small, randomly arranged, inactive chondrocytes at the front edge of growth
zone of proliferation?
interstitial growth - region of rapid mitotic divisions that gives rise to rows of isogenous cell groups
zone of hypertrohpy and maturation?
region where the chondrocytes are enlarged
zone of calcification?
region where remnants of cartilage matrices become calcified and chondrocytes die
zone of ossification/resorption?
where bone is made upon the calcified cartilage, followed by resorption of calcified bone-calcified cartilage complex
signaling molecule in epiphyseal growth plate?
type 10 collagen
what does bone fracture damage?
bone matrix, bone cells, and blood vessels
what is bone fracture accompanied by?
localized hemorrhaging and blood clot formation
what is the first step of fracture healing?
proliferation of osteoprogenitor cells from periosteum and endosteum surrounding fracture
what do the osteoprogenitor cells produce at the fracture site?
cellular tissue surrounding fracture and penetrating b/w ends of damaged bone - forms callus internally and externally
what forms in fracture zone after callus?
fibrous CT and hyaline cartilage
what replaces cartilage at the fracture zone?
bone from endochondral bone formation replaces cartilage w/ mostly woven bone to form a bony callus
what is the fate of the bony callus?
it is resorbed and replaced with secondary/lamellar bone as the fracture heals
how do hairline fractures heal?
via intramembranous bone formation that occurs at the periosteal surface - tends to be a slower process
synarthroses
immovable joints composed of CT, cartilage, or bone
synarthroses locations
unite first rib to sternum and connect skull bones
amphiarthroses
joints with slight movement
amphiarthroses locations
IV discs
diarthroses
synovial joints - permit maximum movement
diarthroses locations
unite long bones
what are diarthroses surrounded by?
2-layered capsule that encloses and seals articular cavity - external capsular layer and internal capsular layer
what is contained in the capsule of diarthroses?
synovial fluid
synovial fluid
colorless, viscous fluid that lubricates joints
what does synovial fluid contain?
rich in hyaluronic acid and proteins
external/fibrous capsular layer composition
fibrous layer of dense CT
internal/synovial capsular layer composition
3-4 cell deep layers of type A and B cells
what is the internal capsular layer lined by?
squamous to cuboidal cells on internal surface
is internal capsular layer true epithelium?
no
internal capsular layer function?
permits diffusion of nutrients to hyaline cartilage from synovial fluid
what do cells in the synovial fold produce?
synovial fluid
type A cells
phagocytic cells w/ well-developed golgi and many lysosomes
type B cells
cells resembling fibroblasts w/ well-developed rER - probably secrete synovial fluid
osteopetrosis
hereditary disease - abnormal osteoclast fxn leads to brittle and easily broken bones, lack of remodeling, undeveloped marrow cavity
what type of bone is present most in osteopetrosis?
woven (lack of remodeling)
albers-schonberg disease
marble bone disease - deficiency in CA II -> osteoblasts can’t accumulate H+ in Howship’s lacunae to activate lysosomal enzymes
osteoporosis
loss of bone mass - primarily trabecular
osteoporosis in PMS women: rates of resorption vs formation?
mainly normal rate of resorption and decreased bone formation
how does rheumatoid arthritis begin?
inflammatory rxn in synovial tissue
what does rheumatoid arthritis pathology involve?
activation of CD4+ T cells (unknown antigen)
what do T-cells produce in rheumatoid arthritis?
IL-15 - stimulates synovial macrophages to produce proinflammatory cytokines and metalloproteases

TNF-a, IL-1, IL-6
