Q

structure of proteoglycans and what proteoglycans are bound to

A
  • protein core (long linear protein) with lateral chondroitin sulfate side chains
  • the core protein binds to a link protein, which binds to hyaluronic acid (perpendicular to protein core)
  • so chondroitin sulfate is the name of a proteoglycan which has chondroitin sulfate side chains on a protein core*

Q

most important type of growth in cartilage (hyaline and elastic) and why

A

appositional. if there’s a tear, it will repair cartilage. articular surfaces don’t have perichondrium so no repair
* interstitial growth doesn’t play a role in repair*

Q

where fibrocartilage is found in the body (for example)

A

intervetebral (IV) discs

29
Q

IV disc structure

A
  • middle nucleus pulosus (with fibrocartilage on its periphery): gelatinous discoid mass of loose CT
  • surrounding annulus fibrosus: dense CT
30
Q

characteristics of fibrocartilage (how it is different). for ex fibrocartilage in nucleus pulposus of IV disc

A
  • one chondrocyte per lacuna (no isogenous groups so NO INTERSTITIAL GROWTH)
  • type 1 collagen* with the type 2 collagen (whereas elastic and hyaline = mostly type 2)
  • chondrocyte fct = still ECM prod*
31
Q

clinical importance of fibrocartilage

A

hold the nucleus pulposus so that it doesn’t herniate and compress spinal nerves, causing pain

32
Q

bone constituents

A
  • ECM: fibers (type 1 collagen), amorphous ground substance, calcified material (calcified ECM)
  • cells: osteoprogenitor cells (SC) (pre-osteoblast), osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts
33
Q

functions of osteocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts

A
  • osteoblasts: synthesize organic components of the matrix
  • osteocytes: inside lacunae
  • osteoclasts: bone resorption and remodelling (+ are multinucleated). diff embryo origin from others, important in osteoporosis
34
Q

osteoprogenitor cell in the bone: function + what do bone cells arise from

A
  • gives rise to osteoblasts (NOT SC): make organic comp of ECM.
  • osteoblasts become osteocytes when they become trapped in the ECM they’re producing
35
Q

osteoprogenitor (pre-osteoblast), osteoblast, osteocytes originate from what cell

A

mesenchymal progenitor cell (will produce other things like CT)

36
Q

osteoclasts originate from what cell

A

hematopoietic progenitor

37
Q

steps to get osteoclast from a hematopoietic progenitor cell

A
  • hematopoietic progenitor makes daughter cells
  • daughter cells fuse under the influence of the RANKL protein
  • after fusion, osteoclast formed
38
Q

what cells produce RANKL which makes daughter cells of hematopoietic progenitor fuse (to make osteoclasts)

A

osteoprogenitor cells (pre-osteoblasts) and osteoblasts

39
Q

substance that INHIBITS the formation of osteoclasts (inhibits the fusion of daughter cells of hematopoietic progenitor) + cells that make it

A

osteoprotegerin (OPG). produced by osteoblasts

40
Q

components of the bone ECM produced by osteoblasts

A
  1. fibers (type 1 collagen)
  2. amorphous ground substance (proteoglycans and glycoproteins) (sialoprotein, osteocalcin)
  3. minerals (crystals of hydroxyapetite)
41
Q

what allows the calcification of bone (calcification = formation of hydroxapetite)

A
  • sialoprotein and osteocalcin (glycoproteins, by their presence)
  • the ECM is saturated in calcium phosphate and, because of these proteins, calcium phosphate will make hydroxyapetite
42
Q

what is added to bone to remove calcium (hydroxyapetite, calcium phosphate) to allow histo, patho studies (how do you decalcify bone)

A

either of
-5% nitric acid
-EDTA
+immerse bone in formalin

43
Q

classification of bone (diff types of bone)

A
  1. primary bone (woven bone, nonlamellar)

2. secondary bone (lamellar): either compact (cortical) or spongy

44
Q

charact of primary bone (woven bone)

A
  • nonlamellar
  • in embryo and fetus (first bone produced)
  • random collagen fibril orientation
45
Q

charact of secondary bone in general (compact or spongy)

A
  • start to exist at birth
  • lamellar
  • oriented collagen fibrils (same orientation)
46
Q

charact of compact (cortical) bone (a type of secondary bone)

A

outlines marrow cavities

47
Q

charact of spongy bone (a type of secondary bone)

A
  • cancellous (means has a porous structure), trabecular

- supports the marrow

48
Q

where is compact bone (type of 2ndary bone) found in the body

A

diaphysis of long bones

49
Q

most exterior region in compact (cortical) bone

A

periosteum (similar to perichondrium): involved in bone repair

50
Q

structure interior to periosteum and parallel to it in compact bone

A

outer circumferential lamella (or system): 3-5 layers of osteocytes (dark, spider or ant like structures)

51
Q

structure seen inside compact bone

A

Haversian systems (also called lamellae or osteon) (when bone cut cross section, are circular, cylindrical structures)

52
Q

what is inside the lamellae (Hav systems)

A

layers of osteocytes

53
Q

what is in the middle of a Hav system

A

Haversian canal

54
Q

what is the name of the lamella that is between different Haversian systems (lamellae or osteons) but that is not circular, cylindrical ,organized and therefore not called a Hav system

A

interstitial lamellae (is old Haversian systems being destroyed or removed)

55
Q

what layer separates bone from the BM and the marrow cavity

A

endostium (one layer of osteoblasts)

56
Q

layer right beside the endostium

A

inner circumferential lamella (or system) (osteocytes running parallel to the endostium)

57
Q

function of the Haversian canal

A

allows circulation of blood vessels to provide nutrients to the bone

58
Q

Volkmann’s canals are what

A

canals inside Haversian systems* that run perpendicular to the main direction of bone (whereas Haversian canals and systems are parallel to the direction of bone)

59
Q

Haversian systems (or osteons or lamellae): structures that ‘‘sandwich’’ them in the bone

A

inner and outer circumferential systems

60
Q

what do we mean when we say that compact bone is lamellar and collagen fibers run in the same direction in it

A

inside a lamella, (interstitial, Hav system), all collagen fibers run in the same direction in this lamella (parallel to bone length and to Hav system orientation and Hav canal)

61
Q

what structure determines the limit of the Haversian system (surrounds it and encloses it)

A

cement or cementing line

-deposited by osteoblasts at the beginning of the formation of each Haversian system

62
Q

special characteristics of osteocytes in Haversian system (they form the lamellae (layers) of the system and each one is in a hole called lacuna)

A
  • send cytoplasmic processes towards the Haversian canal (processes sitting in canaliculi/tunnels). the processes allow to bring nutrients and O2, and send wastes)
  • do gap junctions with other osteocytes through these canaliculi: good communication between cells
63
Q

main reason why primary bone (woven, nonlamellar) differs from secondary bone (lamellar)

A

in embryo and fetus + random collagen fibers orientation all disorganized + see blood vessels

64
Q

where primary (woven) bone formation always occurs

A

in mesenchymal plate, in a piece of mesenchymal tissue with mesenchymal cells

65
Q

how woven bone formation occurs

A
  1. mesenchymal cells layer (osteoprogenitor cells) makes a layer of osteoblasts
  2. some of these osteoblasts become osteocytes
  3. these osteocytes produce ECM to make the bone grow
  4. the gap made by an osteoblast that left to go embed itself in the ECM (become an osteocyte) is filled with a new osteoblast coming from a mesenchymal cell (osteoprogenitor cell)
66
Q

osteocytes charact in woven bone

A

send cell processes sitting in canaliculi and these processes communicate with osteoblasts and with other osteocytes

67
Q

bone that is also trabecular, other than primary woven bone

A

spongy (cancellous, trabecular bone), a type of 2ndary bone, that supports the marrow

68
Q

where do you find trabecular (spongy) bone in the body

A

in the adult body, in the metaphysis and epiphysis of long bones

69
Q

how does spongy bone (type of 2ndary bone) differ from primary, woven bone

A

in spongy bone, you have layers of lamellar bone with collagen fibers in the lamella running in the same direction (not the case in primary bone)
even though both are called trabecular bone
