Lecture 4 - bone Flashcards
5 roles of bone
support body mass, facilitate movement, protection, site of hematopoiesis, calcium reservoir.
Similarities of bone and cartilage
hard tissues, contain living cells embedded in matrix, common mesenchymal progenitor cells.
Differences of bone and cartilage
bone heavily vascularized/ cartilage avascular; bone access to blood vessels via canaliculi; cartilage less calcified, uses long-range diffusion.
How is bone a dynamic tissue?
constant remodeling from mechanical stress
Piezoelectric potential
bone deposition and bone reabsorption
Bone matrix’s organic components
Type I collagen fibers, amorphous substance (GAGs, glycoproteins), and osteoid
glycoproteins in bone
osteonectin, osteopontin, osteocalcin, and bone sialoprotein
Osteonectin and Osteopontin
anchors minerals to collagen & initiate mineralization and promote crystal formation
Osteocalcin & bone sialoprotein
calcium binding proteins
Bone matrix’s inorganic components
Mostly calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite (holds water), bicarbonate, and fluoride.
2 methods to prepare bone sections
decalcification (only organic components left- flexible) and grinding (keeps inorganic components)
Mesenchymal osteoprogenitor
osteogenic cell. Committed by Bone Morphogenic Proteins (BMPs) - osteogenin. Differentiate into osteoblasts. Can self renew.
Osteoblast
occur on the periphery. Secrete the osteoid which is the newly deposited material. Abundant RER and golgi. Secretion activated by GH (somatotropin), sex steroids.
Osteocyte
when osteoblasts secrete so mluch osteoid, they become encompassed by it (terminally differentiated). Reside in lacunae.
Osteoclasts
reabsorb calcium.. Formed by a fusion of monocytes. Multinucleated.
Osteoid
deposition of osteoblast cell layer and existing bone. Stains a lighter color on the edge since it is more concentrated in inorganic material.
Canaliculi
canals connecting osteocytes (gap junctions)
2 modes of osteocytic osteolysis regulation
Parathryoid Hormone and Calcitonin
PTH
increases resportion. indirectly stimulates by binding to receptors on osteoblasts which will stimulate osteoclast activity
Calcitonin
descreases resportion
Where are Macrophages located and whats feature does it have?
Howship’s lacunae and a ruffled border to increase surface area.
2 modes of osteoclast function
focal decalcification by acidification (H reacts with calcium to free it) and by extracellular digestion by enzymes (digests collagen and other organic material).
3 parts of bone
periosteum, endosteum, and bone proper
periosteum
Pheripheral. Made of fibrous (outer fibrous layer and highly vascularized) and osteogenic (osteoblasts and osteogenic cells) components
Endosteum
Thin single layer (progenitor cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts), line bones internal surfaces (trabeculae, H canals), and important for nutrition and maintenance
Bone proper
mineralized components of bone
Attachment of peiosteum to bone
collagen fibers bundles called Sharpey’s fibers
Where is the point of origin for Volkmann’s canals
periosteum
Uncommitted mesenchymal precursor if vascular or avascular
Vascular - osteoprogenitor
Avascular - chondroprogenitor
2 structures of bone proper
woven and lamellar
