29
Q

What are osteons

A

Haversian systems: unit of sstructure

30
Q

Osteoprogenitor cells differentiation regulated by what?

A

BMP and Cbfa1

Cells are resting and capable of differentiating into osteoblasts
Squamous

31
Q

Differentiation of osteoblasts controlled by what?

A

Cbfa1, Runx2 and osteocalcin

32
Q

What directs the differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells into osteoblasts?

A

Sox9

33
Q

What do osteoblasts deposit?

A

Osteoid

34
Q

What are osteocytes?

A

mature or differentiated osteoblasts
Maintain bone matrix
Solitary cells, usually flattened or spindle-shaped
Canaliculi

35
Q

Wht are osteoclasts

A

Monocyte-macrophage progenitor cells of bone marrow
Located in Howship’s lacunae
Break down mineralized bone

36
Q

What is the first indicator of osteogenesis?

A

Cbfa1/Runx2

37
Q

Describe intramembranous osteogeneis

A

Occurs on or within fibrous CT
Osteoblasts deposit osteoid
Primary bone formed
Several ossification centers interconnect to form trabeculae

Skull bones and clavicle

38
Q

Describe endochondral osteogenesis

A

Bone replaces a pre-existing cartilaginous template
Chondrocytes in cartilage template become isolated by type II collagen
Chondrocytes hypertrophy and produce type X collagen which promotes angiogenesis
Increased blood vessels and promotes calcification
Chondrocytes undergo apoptosis

Primary centers in diaphysis
Secondary in epiphysis

39
Q

Describe the zones of endochondral osteogenesis

A

Reserve zone: hyaline cartilage just below epiphyseal cartilage
Proliferation zone: chondrocytes proliferate, vertical stacks
Hypertrophic zone: chondrocytes enlarge, matrix calcifies, angiogenesis
Vascular invasion zone: blood vessels invade osteoprogenitor cells move in

40
Q

What indicates the edge of a remodeled osteon?

A

cement line

41
Q

What is osteoporosis?

A

More bone resorbed than replaced.

42
Q

Describe bone fracture repair

A
Damaged blood vessels clot
Die back
Death of osteons around break
Macrophages remove debris
Intense proliferation of osteoprogenitor cells from periosteum and endosteum
Osteoblasts for cellular collar 
Immature bone formed
Trabeculae bone unite to form bony callus
Woven bone remodeled into lamellar
43
Q

Osteoarthritis

A

Bone ends rub together because of thinned cartilage
