  • Give rise to osteoblast and bone lining cells
67

A
  • Derived from osteoblasts and are trapped by the matrix they secrete
  • found in lacuni
68
Q

Where are osteoclast cells derived from?

A

monocyte lineage, which, in turn, is derived from the monocyte precursors in bone marrow.

69
Q

What is ARF

A

(activatoin-resportion-reversal-formation)

a cycle that occurs at adult remodeling sites and deuring development

Converts bound calcium to free calcium

70
Q

How do osteoblasts regulate Osteoclasts?

A
  1. PTH is the primary regulator of bone turnover
  2. Low PTH levels, osteoblasts stimulate bone formation
  3. High PTH levls, osteoblasts are stimulated to release osteoclast-differntiation factors.
  4. PTH stimulates the differentiation of monocyte precursors to form osteoclasts and the formation of ruffled borders on osteoclasts
  5. Elevated PTH levels result in eroded bone and fibrosis of the resulting spaces (osteitis fibrosa)
  6. PTH hormone binds receptors on teh osteoblast
  7. osteoblast stimulated to synthesize M-CSF and RANKL
  8. Ostoblast releases M-CSF
  9. M-CSF bind to M-CSF receptor on the monocyte that just happend to drop by
  10. Monocyte now a macrophage and expresses RANK
  11. RANK binds to RANKL (couples osteoblast and macrophage)
  12. Macrophage becomes a multinucleated immature osteoclast.
  13. Osteoblast secretes ostoprotegerin
    1. osteoprotegerin binds to RANKL with greater affinity than RANK
    2. Inhibits maturation of osteoclasts
    3. PTH blocks syn. of osteoprotegerin
  14. a non-functional osteoclast uncouoples from the osteoblast and becomes a functional osteoclast
  15. Calcitonin acts to reduce bone resoption.
