flattened cells that resemble fibroblasts

43
Q

A

basophilic

44
Q

What is the location of osteoprogenitor cells

A

inner layer of periosteum

endosteum

lining haversian and volkmann’s canals

45
Q

What will osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into

A

osteoblasts

46
Q

What is the function of osteoblasts

A

form chondroblasts, adipocytes, and fibroblasts

appositional bone formation

47
Q

What do osteoblasts eventually become

A

osteocytes

48
Q

What do osteoblasts secrete

A

collagen and ground substance that forms the initial unmineralized bone

49
Q

What is the initial unmineralized bone called

A

osteoid

50
Q

What is an osteocyte

A

bone cell

51
Q

How are osteocytes formed

A

when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the matrix it has secreted

52
Q

Where are osteoblasts found

A

form a single cuboidal cell layer on the surface of the growing bone, sitting on a light band of osteoid

53
Q

What do osteoblast cytoplasm stain

A

basophilic due to rER

54
Q

How is the calcification process of bone initiated

A

osteoblasts secreting vesicles containing alkaline phosphatase

55
Q

What is the function of osteocytes

A

maintain the bone matrix

56
Q

The death of an osteocyte results in what

A

reabsorption of bone

57
Q

How do osteocytes communicate

A

via gap junction

58
Q

Where are the gap junctions in osteocytes

A

canaliculi connect lacunae in which the osteocytes sit

59
Q

What are the different types of osteocytes

A

Inactive (quiescent)
Formative
Resorptive

60
Q

What type of organelles does an inactive osteocyte have

A

few organelles

61
Q

What type of organelles does a formative osteocyte have

A

rER

62
Q

What type of organelles does a resorptive osteocyte have

A

lysosomes

63

large multinucleated acidophilic cells, nuclei sitting on the side of the cells further away from the bony trabecula

64
Q

Where in the bone can you find osteoclasts

A

sitting on the ruffled border, contacting the bone

65
Q

A

resorb bone matrix, releasing minerals back into the blood

66
Q

What do osteoclasts release to aid in their function

A

lysosomal hydrolases and organic acids that digest organic components and decalcify the underlying bone

hyperparathyroidism

increases PTH increases osteoclast activity

70
Q

What decreases osteoclast activity

A

calcitonin

71
Q

What occurs during intramembraneous ossificiation

A

Mesenchymal cells aggregate–turn into osteoblasts and secrete osteoid

Osteoid will minerlize and osteoblasts will be surrounded by lacunae and become osteocytes

72
Q

Is cartilage involved in intramembraneous ossification

A

nope

73
Q

Where does intramembranous ossification occur

A

embryo skull bone and in fractures where the broken ends are very closely aligned

74
Q

What is the process of endochondral ossification

A

Hyaline cartilage models of bone

perichondrium forms a bony collar around the cartilage model (appositional growth)–> periosteum

Primary ossification center develops

Capillary roots break into the bone carrying osteoprogenitor cells that settle on the surface of the remaining calcified cartilage trabecules and turn into osteoblasts

Osteoblasts build up the bone

secondary ossification centers: capillary loops break into the epiphysis

remaining epiphyseal plate forms bone towards the opposite directions lengthening the bone

75
Q

What are primary ossification centers

A

chondrocytes in the middle of the model become hypertrophic, secrete alkaline phosphatase, and the surrounding matrix undergoes calcification

calcified matrix inhibits diffusion of nutriets–death of the suicidal cells

death of chondrocytes the matrix breaks down forming a cavity

76
Q

When does bone via endochondral ossification untimately calcify

A

age in the 20s

77
Q

What is the epiphyseal plate

flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young, growing bone

78
Q

  2. zone of proliferation
  3. zone of hypertrophy
  4. zone of calcified cartilage
  5. zone or resportion
79

80
Q
