Lecture 9- Bone Flashcards
What type of tissue is bone?
Connective
What are the components of bone?
Cells and Extracellular Matrix (Bone Matrix)
What cells make up bone?
- Osteoblasts
- Osteoclasts
- Osteocytes
- Bone lining Cells
- Osteoprogenitor Cells
What makes up Bone Matrix?
- Fibers
2. Ground Substance
What is general fibrous structure of bone and why is it like that?
Fibers are aligned parallel but are oriented in different directions.
Adds strength.
What gives bone its strength?
A calcified bone matrix
What cells help “maintain” the bone matrix?
Osteocytes
How does the osteocyte gets its nutrients and get rid of waste?
Canaliculi
What happens in the canaliculi?
Exchange of nutrients and waste products that travel down cell to cell of dendritic processes of osteocytes
What structure aids w/ transfer of nutrients from one osteocyte to another?
Gap Junctions
2 General Types of Bone Structure
- Compact Bone
2. Cancellous Bone (AKA spongy or trabecular bone)
Is compact bone and cancellous bone made of the same material?
Yes. Both Lamellar bone. Organized differently.
Where do osteoblasts come from?
Bone lining cells or osteoprogenitor cells.
Steps of the bone remodeling cycle (3).
- Osteoclast (apoptosis)
- Osteoblast Secretes bone matrix (osteoid - unmineralized bone)
- Mineralization
Where does bone remodeling occur?
- On the surface of bone
2. In the middle of bone
How does bone modeling occur in the middle of bone?
- Clasts come through blood vessel, start working to make a connecting canal
- Blasts stay on surface (bone lining cells) and fill in canal with bone (surround blood vessels)
- Cytes sit in lacuna and maintain matrix and stim remodeling cycle from stress
What is osteoporosis?
- Decreased bone mass per unit volume of anatomical bone.
2. After 35, clast > blast
Biphosphonates can help limit osteoporosis, but osteonecrosis may be a side effect, why?
Biphosphonates disrupt bone remodeling. When there is continual stress on the bones, they have a limited capacity for healing
