25
Two different microtextures of bone
Woven (immature)and lamellar (mature)
26
Woven (immature) bone
Initial bone formation, fracture repair, poorly organized type I collagen, relatively weak
27
Lamellar (mature) bone
Replaces woven bone, very strong; well organized, type I collagen
28
Lamellar bone replaces woven bone during:
Formation of primary bone (primary osteons) and remodeling to form secondary bone (secondary osteons)
29
Cancellous (trabecular, spongy) bone
Formed by interconnecting bony struts or trabeculae that provide internal support to bones, high surface area that facilitates calcium ion exchange between bone and blood
30
Spaces between trabeculae contain either
Red marrow that produces blood cells and yellow marrow made of adipose tissue
31
Osteoblasts function
Secrete ECM, lower blood calcium levels
32
Osteocytes
Osteoblasts embedded in lacunae
33
What do osteoblasts and osteocytes derive from
Osteoprogenitor cells
34
Osteoclasts
Resort bone ECM
35
What are osteoclasts derived from
Progenitor cells from the monocyte-macrophage lineage located in bone marrow
36
What are inactive osteoblasts called
Bone lining cells
37
Identifying factors of osteoblasts
Located along surface of bone, extensive rER, golgi, polarized organelles- nucleus located away from secretory activity
38
Osteoblasts communicate via
Gap junctions
39
Osteoid
Initial organic component synthesized by osteoblasts Calcify, slowly calcify if low vitamin D
40
Low calcium results in
Renal failure
41
What do osteocytes direct
Bone remodeling in response to mechanical stimuli, form gap junctions with each other and osteoblasts by sending cell processes through channels in bone called canaliculi
42
Organic portion of bone
Mostly type I collagen, histology looks pale before mineralized and called osteoid
43
Inorganic portion of bone
Added to to osteoid, made of hydroxyapatite crystals that are mostly calcium ions bound together by multiadhesive glycoproteins. Osteoblasts secrete bone specific alkaline phosphatase an enzyme that aids in hydroxyapatite formation
44
How do osteoclasts increase blood calcium levels
Resorb bone, endocytose into ECM, secrete into blood
45
Ruffled border
Portion of osteoclast in direct contact with bone
46
Clear zone
Ring of cytoplasm around restorative compartment, immediately surrounds ruffled border, lacks organelles
47
Actin ring
Inside the clear zone helps create sealing zone isolating subosteoclastic compartment, prevents damage to tissue
48
How is the inorganic portion of bone resorbed
Dissolved by pumping H+ ions into the resoprtive cavity. The ruffled border increases surface area for transport
49
How is the organic portion of bone resorbed
Degraded by lysosomal enzyme that are secreted into cavity. Clear zone around it forms a seal to prevent secretions from damaging surrounding tissue
50
What are the byproducts of resorption and what happens to them
Ca2+ are endocytosed by osteoclast and secreted into blood
51
What are the two hormones that regulate bone ECM resorption
Parathyroid hormone and calcitonin
52
Parathyroid hormone
Released by parathyroid gland, promotes resorption, increases blood calcium levels, receptors on osteoblasts, osteoblasts produce osteoclast stimulating factor Effect: stimulate osteoclast to increase bone resorbing activity
53
Calcitonin
Secreted by thyroid gland, slow resorption, decrease blood calcium levels, receptors on osteoclasts Effect: inhibit osteoclast to decease bone resorbing activity
54
What do oxygen levels determine
Differentiation of mesenchymal cells to facilitate either cartilage or bone formation
55
What happens in a high O2 environment
Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells and osteoblasts that form bone. This process is called intramembranous ossification and requires vascularized mesenchyme to supply O2
56
What happens in low O2 environments
Mesenchymal cells differentiate into Chondrogenic cells and chondrocytes that form hyaline cartilage. As blood vessels grow into the cartilage, chondrocytes exposed to high O2 and start acting like bone cells by calcifying ECM. Eventually ECM is replaced with bone. Process called endochondral ossification. It begins in avascular mesenchyme and results in highly vascularized bone
57
Steps in intramembranous ossification
1. Mesenchymal cells near blood vessels differentiate into osteoblasts 2. Osteoblasts form bone trabeculae. The early sites of bone formation near blood vessels are called ossification centers 3. Over time, the trabeculae enlarge, fuse and remodel to form bones and marrow cavities internally
58
Steps of endochondral ossification
1. A low O2 environment induced mesenchymal cells to differentiate into chondrocytes that form hyaline cartilage model of the bone 2. Blood vessels invade the cartilage inducing the formation of ossification centers bone cells migrate and replace the cartilage with bone 3. Sheet of hyaline cartilage called a growth plate remains between the epiphysis and diaphysis. Growth plate is responsible for longitudinal growth. Growth ends when the growth plates are vascularized and replaced with bone
59
Zone of reserve
Directs proliferation
60
Zone of proliferation
Chondrocyte mitosis
61
Zone of hypertrophy
Chondrocytes enlarge brining in O2
62
Zone of calcification
Chondrocytes calcify the ECM
63
Zone of ossification
Cartilage is replaced with bone
