Q

what are osteocytes? what do they do?

A

when osteoblasts get trapped in bone matrix (in lacunae) it becomes osteocytes.

maintains bone matrix and can sometimes reabsorb or deposit bone matrix. act as strain sensors (signals to strengthen the bone

Q

what is the difference between concentric lamellae, circumferential lamellae, and interstitial lamellae?

A

concentric: layers around a central (haversian) canal

circumferential: encircles the inner outer region of dense bone

interstitial: fill irregular regions between osteons

Q

how does the spongy bone structure relate to mechanical stress?

A

spongy bone has greater surface area than compact bone meaning they are the first to be exposed to osteoclast breakdown

21
Q

how does homeostasis occur in bones (think in relation to osteoblasts and osteocytes)

A
  • if there is more bone breakdown than building, bone becomes weaker
  • if there is more bone building than breakdown, bone becomes stronger
22
Q

what is ossification or osteogenesis?

A

the formation of bone

23
Q

explain intramembranous ossification

A
  • occurs in the dermis
  • produces the flat bones of the skull
  1. osteoid tissue is deposited into embryonic mesenchyme
  2. osteoid tissue calcifies and traps osteoblasts -> osteocytes
  3. spongy bone forms with periosteum outside
  4. osteoblasts under periosteum fill between trabeculae, compact bone forms with spongy bone under
24
Q

explain endochondral ossification

A
  • develops from hyaline cartilage model
  • produces most of bones in body
  1. mesenchyme forms hyaline cartilage model
  2. primary ossification center (center of long bone), periosteum, and bony collar underneath periosteum forms
  3. primary ossification center becomes vascular forming primary marrow cavity. osteoblasts enter and lines cavity, forms secondary ossification center
  4. long bone has enlarged primary marrow cavity at diaphysis, secondary marrow cavity in one epiphysis, and a second ossification center in the other epiphysis
  5. epiphyses fill with spongy bone and epiphyseal plate (cartilage) separating primary and secondary marrow cavities
  6. final adult bone will only have 1 marrow cavity, epiphyseal plate closes (becomes epiphyseal line)
25
Q

what is the metaphysis?

A

the sides of the epiphyseal plate where cartilage is replaced by bone

26
Q

what is the zone of reserve cartilage?

A

composed of resting chondrocytes

27
Q

what do chondrocytes do?

A

they produce the cartilage matrix

28
Q

what is the zone of cell proliferation?

A

multiplying chondrocytes forming lacunae

29
Q

what is the zone of cell hypertrophy?

A

chondrocytes enlarge - no mitosis

30
Q

what is the zone of calcification?

A

temporary mineral deposition between lacunae

31
Q

what is the zone of bone deposition?

A

chondrocytes die, osteoblasts enter and deposit matrix to form concentric lamellae

32
Q

what are the zones of the metaphysis? (superficial to deep)

A
  1. zone of reserve cartilage
  2. zone of cell proliferation
  3. zone of cell hypertrophy
  4. zone of calcification
  5. zone of bone deposition
33
Q

how do you grow in height? think about the metaphysis zones

A

chondrocytes multiply in zone 2 (cell proliferation) and enlarges in zone 3 (hypertrophy), pushing zone 1 (reserve cartilage) towards the end of the bone, elongating it

34
Q

what is the term for cartilage growth from inside?

A

interstitial growth

35
Q

what is achondroplastic dwarfism?

A

the long bones stop growing in childhood, results in a normal torso with shortened limbs

caused by genetics (mutation)

36
Q

what is pituitary dwarfism?

A

normal proportions with a short stature (think

caused by a lack of GH in the pituitary gland

37
Q

what is appositional growth and how does it occur?

A

growth in diameter and thickness of bone, deposition of new tissue at the bone surface

intramembranous ossification
- as bone increases in diameter, marrow cavity widens as osteoclasts enlarge it by dissolving the inner surface bone tissue

38
Q

what is wolff’s law of bone?

A

bone structure is determined by the stress put on it

bones grow larger in response to mechanical stress

39
Q

how does mineralization occur? (mineral deposition)

A

calcium, phosphate, and other ions are taken from the blood and deposited into bone. osteoblasts produce collagen fibers around osteon that become encrusted with minerals, which attracts more calcium and phosphate

40
Q

what is ectopic ossification?

A

when tissues become calcified when they shouldn’t be (produces heterotopic bones) ex. eye, brain, musces, tendons, arteries

41
Q

what is a calculus?

A

a calcified mass in a soft organ

42
Q

what are the 3 main types of heterotopic bones?

A
  1. myositis ossificans: rare genetic form causes muscles to ossify
  2. traumatic myositis: repeated trauma to soft tissue triggers ossification
  3. neurogenic heterotopic ossifications: frequent complication to spinal cord injury
43
Q

what is fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP)?

A

when the muscle and connective tissue ossifies. surgical removal can trigger more ossification, gene therapy is possible for treatment

44
Q

what is mineral resorption?

A

process of dissolving bone, releasing minerals into the blood

performed by osteoclasts

45
Q

what is hypocalcemia and what does it cause?

A

calcium deficiency, causes excessive excitability of the nervous system and muscles

46
Q

what is hypercalcemia and what does it cause?

A

calcium excess, causes nerve and muscle cells to be less excitable than normal

47
Q

what 3 hormones regulate calcium homeostasis?

A
  1. calcitriol
  2. calcitonin
  3. parathyroid hormone
48
Q

what is calcitriol?

A

a form of vitamin D that INCREASES blood calcium levels by increasing calcium absorption in the body

49
Q

what is calcitonin?

A

produced by cells of the thyroid gland, secreted when blood calcium is too high. LOWERS calcium levels

how? osteoclast inhibition and osteoblast stimulation

50
Q

what is parathyroid hormone (PTH)?

A

secreted by parathyroid glands to INCREASE blood calcium levels

binds to osteoblasts and stimulates osteoclasts

51
Q

which vitamins & hormones stimulate osteoblast activity?

A

vitamin A, vitamin C, estrogens, androgens, growth hormone, and thryoxine
