lecture 5: bone Flashcards
bone is hypocellular meaning
has few cells
bone stains pink because
it is eosinophilic
most ECM is made from collagen, which is positive
compare cartilage and bone
- *Cartilage**
- large, rounded cells found in clusters
- texture: firm but gel-like, elastic
- avascular
- low metabolic rate
- ECM Type II collagen and Aggrecan (sulfated PG) (negative purple)
- permeable
- continued growth
- *Bone**
- ellipsoid, isolated cells encased in mineral, hypocellular
- mineralized, hard
- vascularized
- high metabolic rate
- ECM: type I collagen, small PGs, glycoproteins
- impermeable
- complex structure with capacity for remodeling
ECM of cartilage vs bone
cartilage: type II collagen and aggrecan (sulfated PG) (make negative- purple stain)
bone: type I collagen, small PGs, glycoproteins (areas to bind calcium, positive- pink stain)
compare texture of cartilage and bone:
cartilage: firm, gel like, high tensile strength, elastic
bone: mineralized hard
compare cells in cartilage and bone
cartilage: large, rounded cells, often in clusters, encased in ECM
bone: ellipsoid, isolated cells encased in mineral, more hypocellular
compare metabolic rate and growth in cartilage and bone
cartilage: low metabolic rate, avascular, capacity for continued growth
bone: high metabolic rate, highly vascularized, complex structure with capacity for remodeling
% make up of ECM of bone
inorganic : 75% of bone
mineral hydroxyapatite
organic: 25 %
type 1 collagen: 90%
small proteoglycans and glycoproteins: 10%
type 1 collagen fibril
type 1 collagen molecules form head to tail and have spaces in between that form “hole zone”, gives stripped appearance
hole zones are where calcium deposits
“quarter staggered”
hole zones in bone is where ___
calcium and phosphate deposits
this brings more calcium and phosphate which allows minerals to grow and fill space in between type 1 collagen molecules
collagen molecules do not mineralize, only space in between that is why bone is at most 50-75% mineralized
Why is bone at most 50-75% mineralized
collagen molecules do not mineralize, only space in between that is why bone is at most 50-75% mineralized
allows some bending of bones
two type of bone formation
endochondral ossification
intramembranous ossification
endochondral ossification is found in what type of bones
axial and appendicular skeleton, some facial bones
where does intramembranous ossification take place
most cranial bones, periosteal bones
endochondral ossification
simple explanation
mesenchyme undergo chondrogenesis form
cartilage
cartilage undergoes hypertrophy and degradation and is replaced by trabecular bone (on inside), and bone marrow cavity
intramembranous ossification
simple explanation
mesenchyme
compact bone (no marrow)
happens on outside of long bones and skull bones
steps of endochondral ossification
mixed process of endochondral and intramembranous ossification
- hylan cartilage blueprint
- perichondrium replaced with periosteum (compact bone- intramembranous ossification )
- cartilage cells undergo proliferation and hypertrophy, during hypertrophy cartilage cells produce different ECM (matrix that can mineralize)
- vessels invade bring cells to breakdown cartilage and make bone
- cartilage is broken down by chondroclasts leaving hypertrophic ECM backbone
- bone is deposited by osteoblasts onto this hypertrophic ECM backbone
- same process happens at ends of bones, growth plate in between
- continues until bone fully formed and two sites of ossification fuse
how does perichondrium change to periosteum
progenitor cells in the perichondrium differentiate into osteoblasts instead of chondroblasts
how is matrix produced by hypertrophic cartilage cells different
can mineralize
matrix can be invaded by blood vessels (periostial blood)
what kind of cells are brought into the bone during endochondral ossification
clasts, that eat cartilage cells (chondrocytes) and ECM matrix
osteoprogenitor cells- (differentiate into osteoblasts that make bone)
stem cells that form marrow environment
stem cells that form hematopoetic lineages
where does cartilage remain after bones are finished growing
what is different about this cartilage?
caps of bone- ends articular surface
no longer has perichrondrium - does not have cells to make cartilage- can not repair or regrow
protects bone
epiphysis
end of bones
