Q

How are the child long bone and adult long bone different?

A

In adults, long bones have yellow marrow in the medullary cavity while children have red bone
marrow in the medullary cavity. In adults, there is an epiphyseal line at the metaphysis, while
children have an epiphyseal plate.

  3. Woven bone and periosteum form
  4. Bone collar of compact bone forms and red bone marrow appears
38

A

HYALINE CARTILAGE, which are produced by chondroblasts

A
  1. Bone collar forms around hyaline cartilage model.
  2. Cavitation of the hyaline cartilage within the cartilage model
  3. Invasion of internal cavities by the periosteal bud (spongy bone formation)
  4. Formation of the medullary cavity, appearance of secondary ossification centers
  5. Ossification of tthe epiphysis which restricts cartilage only to the epiphyseal plates and articular cartilages
42
Q

What are the two types of postnatal ossification?

A
  1. longitudinal bone growth
  2. appositional bone growth
43
Q

Where is hyaline cartilage added on in longitudinal bone growth? What about new bone tissue?

A

epiphyseal face of epiphyseal plates; diaphyseal face of epiphyseal plates

44
Q

T/F: the width changes in longitudinal bone growth

A

F; amount of hyaline added to epiphyseal face = amount of bone tissue added to diaphyseal face

45
Q

What happens in the calcification zone during bone growth?

A

matric begins deteriorating and becomes calcified

46
Q

What happens during the proliferation zone?

A

Growth by increase in number of cartilage cells (epiphyseal face)

47
Q

What happens in the ossification zone during longitudinal bone growth?

A

new bone formation

48
Q

What happens during the hypertrophic zone in longitudinal bone growth?

A

Growth by increase in cartilage cell size

49
Q

What are the 5 zones of the epiphyseal plate?

A
  1. Growth (proliferation) zone
  2. Hypertrophic zone
  3. Calcification (deterioration zone)
  4. Ossifcation zone
  5. Resorption zone
50
Q

What happens in appositional bone growth?

A

Width and thickness of bone increase. Bone tissue is added onto the external surface and old bone is resorbed from the internal surface -> thicker but lightter bone

51
Q

Explain why hormonal control of postnatal bone growth is indirect.

A

Growth hormone stimulates longitudinal bone growth but chondroblasts do not express growth hormone receptors

52
Q

Growth hormone stimulates ____ to produce ____ to ultimately stimulate chondroblasts to produce more hyaline cartilage on the epiphyseal platte

A

hepatocytes; IGFs

53
Q

Sex hormones ___ with growth hormone to increase IGF release

A

synergize

54
Q

At the end of adolescence, sex hormones ___ the actions of growth hormone, leading to _____ and thus a _____

A

antagonize; less IGF production; Less chondroblast proliferation. this ultimately leads to decrease in hyaline cartilage production on EPIPHYSEaL FACE

55
Q

How do epiphyseal plates close?

A

Complete ossification of the epiphyseal plates at the end of adolescence -> height is determined

56
Q

Name 3 ways in which dwarfism may be caused.

A
  1. Hyposecretion of growth hormone
  2. Abscence of GH receptors on hepatocytes
  3. IGF deficiency
  4. No IGF receptors on chondroblastts
57
Q

How does bone density in adults remain constant?

A

Rate of bonoe formation = rate of bone resorption

58
Q

How does osteoporosis occur?

A

Rate of bone resorption outpaces the rate of formation

59
Q

What are the functions of bone remodeling?

A

Maintain calcium homeostasis, allow for bone repair after fractures

60
Q

In bone remodeling, ___ acts to resorp old bone

A

osteoclasts

61
Q

In bone remodeling, ___ act to form new bone.

A

osteoblasts

62
Q

What twto factors contrtol bone remodeling?

A

Hormonal control; mechanical stress

63
Q

Explain hormonal control of bone remodeling

A
  1. Hypercalcemic conditions -> calcitonin is released, stimulating osteoblasts to produce bone tissue and stimulate mineralization (uses calcium from blood)
  2. Hypocalcemic conditions -> parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released to stimulate osteoclasts to resorp bone and release calcium from bones into the blood
64
Q

What is mechanical stress based on?

A

Wolff’s Law

65
Q

Wolff’s law states that ___

A

bones remodel/grow in response to mechanical stress placed on them

66
Q

List some evidence that supports Wolff’s Law

A
  1. bones of the upper limb of one’s dominant arm are thicker than non-dominant
  2. Long bones are thickest in middle region of diaphysis (greatest bending stresses)
  3. Bedridden individuals lose bone density
  4. Bone attachment sites for muscles are thicker
67
Q

What does the articular cartilage of synovial joints do?

A

caps the ends of bones

68
Q

Function of joint cavity in synovial joints?

A

space that contains synovial fluid

69
Q

Function of synovial fluid?

A

Acts as lubricant to reduce friction in synovial joints

70
Q

Function of articular capsule?

A

double-layer with outer fibrous capsule and inner synoviam membrane

71
Q

What are the 3 types of ligaments and theeir locations in synovial joints?

A

intrinsic -> fibrous capsule
extracapsular -> external to articular capsule
intracapsular -> deep to articular capsule (ACL)

72
Q

Characteristics of menisci?

A

discs of fibrocartilage that extend from articular capsule into synovial cavity to minimize wear and tear

73
Q

characteristics of bursae?

A

flattened fibrous sacs that contain synovial fluid to reduce friction where bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles rub together

74
Q

What are tendon sheaths?

A

elongated bursae that wrap around tendons

75
Q

How does calcitriol maintain calcium homeostasis?

A

Acts on digestive system to more ablely absorb calcium from foods
Also can act on urinary system and make kidneys keep calcium rather than excrete it in urine

76
Q

How does calcitonin mainttain calcium homeostasis?

A

when calcium levels arre high, calcitonin stimulates osteoblasts to build bone and prevents osteoclasts from brreaking down bone

77
Q

How does PTH maintain calcium levels?

A

stimulates osteoclasts to break down bone to release calcium into blood

78
Q

What are the 3 types of cartilage found in synovial joints?

A

articular cartilage, hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage in the form of menisci
