Osteogenesis and Joints
T/F: calcification can occur anywhere in the body.
True
What structure of the body is intramembranous bone formation associated?
Calvaria
In intramembranous bone formation what does the primary ossification center become?
Trabecula
What type of growth primarily occurs in intramembranous bone formation?
Appositional growth
In endochondral bone formation cartilage is ________ by bone.
Replaced
Steps of endochondral bone formation (summarized)
-1^ ossification center = future diaphysis of cartilage model -Chondrocytes become hypertrophic and secreate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -BV break thru perichondrium, bringing in osteoprogenitor cells (bone forming cells) -Hypertrophic cartilage undergoes apoptosis, leaving calcified matrix -Osteoblasts use calcified strands as substrates for deposition of osteoid -osteoid is calcified
DEB (developing endochondral bone) experiences _______ growth.
interstitial
PB (periosteal bone) experiences _______ growth.
Appositional
What do osteoblasts do?
-Secrete bone matrix -more darkly stained & irregularly shaped - have alkaline phosphatase and Vit D3 - osteocalcin prtn (high affinity for hydryoxapatite= helps bind to organic component of bone) - RANKL
What are osteocytes?
Maintain bone matrix -help cntrl Ca+2, and phosphate levels -derived from osteoblasts
What are osteoclasts?
remodel bone thru resorption - dissolve both inorganic and organic matrix - very large and multinucleated
Where do osteoprogenitor cells derive from and what do they do?
-Mesenchyme of embryonic somites *** they are stem cells that give rise to osteoblasts and bone lining cells (adult stem cells)
Where do osteoclasts derive from and what are they involved in?
- from monocyte lineage - ARF cycle = occurs at remodeling sites & during development
What happens with high PTH levels? Low PTH levels?
- osteoblasts stim. release of osteoclasts == bone resorption - increase bone formation by osteoblasts
_____ dissolves organic matrix. _____ dissolves inorganic matrix.
- Cathepsin K - HCl
Label the epiphyseal plate

A: Proliferative zone
B: Hypertrophic zone
C: Calcification zone
Define joint
Where 2 bones come together
Cartilagionous joints are known as _______.
What are the 2 types?
- amphiarthroses
- Symphysis (fibrocartilage; ex = intervertebral discs)
- Sychondrosis (hyaline cartilage; ex = EP)
Fibrous joints are known as ________.
What are the 3 types?
Synarthroses
- Suture (calvaria)
- Gomphosis (peg in socket - teeth in alveoli)
- Syndesmosis (interosseous firbrous membrane)
Synovial joints are known as ________.
What are the types?
Diarthroses
- Monoaxial = Hinge and Pivot
- Biaxial = Condyloid and Saddle
- Triaxial = Ball-and-socket
What type of joint is this?
Which portion is innervated?
Which portion is vascularized?

- Synovial joint
- Outer fibrous capsule
- Inner synovial membrane
Histology of Synovial joint
Articular cartilage is composed of what? and lacks what?
It is not lined by _______
- Hyaline cartilage
- Perichondrium
- synovial membrane
Histology of Synovial joint
Joint capusle made of what? Lined by _____
- Vascularized dense CT
- Synovial membrane
its attached to edges of articular cartilage
Histology of Synovial joint
Synovial membrane is highly _______
Has NO _______
- highly vascularized
- no basal lamina
(1-3 layers of synovial cells)
