Q

describe the structure of long bones

A
  • have thick layers of compact bone on their shafts for strength
  • at centres and at their ends the bone is cancellous (spongy)
  • at the ends there is a thinner layer of compact bone this covers the cancellous bone

Q

describe cancellous bone

A
  • beams of bone are separated by spaces filled with bone marrow

24
Q

why does the bone stain pink

A

the bone stains pink due to the high content of collagen type 1

25
Q

what lines the surface of the trabecular

A

delicate layer of the endosteum which is made of a layer of osteoprogenitor cells, these are stem cells that are derived from mesenchymal cells

26
Q

what do osteoprogneitor cells do

A
  • these cells can differentiated into osteoblasts

- these are important for bone remodelling as well as repair following damage

27
Q

what is compact bone organised into

A

compact bone is organised into lengthwise bone columns called haversian systems

28
Q

what is a Haversian system

A
  • this is a column, concerti bony lamellae surround a neuromuscular channel called haversian canal
  • several layers of circumferential lamellae form the most outer surface of the bone
29
Q

what do. volkmanns canals do

A

they run perpendicular to the haversain canals and bring the neruovascular supply into the compact bone and distribute it to haversian systems

30
Q

what is the haversain canal and volkmanns canal lined with

A

endosteum

31
Q

how are the osteocytes arranged in compact bone

A
  • they are arranged in rows which delineate the layers or lamellae of the bone
32
Q

why are the osteons not complete in compact bone

A
  • this is because there is constant remodelling of the bone
33
Q

what are osteoclasts

A
  • these are multinucleate macrophage like cells
34
Q

what is the role of osteoclasts in compact bone

A
  • reabsorbing bone in the long term to blood calcium required
  • change mechanical stresses
  • create tunnel through the bone called resorption channels
35
Q

what happens to resorption channels in compact bone

A
  • osteocytes creates resorption channels

- osteoblasts then build a new osteon int he resorption canal

36
Q

how do osteocytes get nutrients

A
  • get it from canliculi
37
Q

describe the structure of canlicuil

A
  • these are fine tiny canals running through the bones
  • appear in ground bone
  • extend from the capillaries to the osteocytes in the matrix
38
Q

how are the osteocytes interconnected

A
  • they are interconnected by the cancliculi through which they send fine cytoplasmic processes and communicate via gap junctions
39
Q

what is the outer surface of the bone surrounded by

A

surrounded by a fibrous capsule called the periosteum

40
Q

what does the periosteum supply the bone with

A
  • blood and neural supplyy
41
Q

what is the inner layer of the periosteum lined by

A
  • ## lined by osteoprogenitor cells - appear similar to fibroblasts on the surface of the adult bone
42
Q

what is intramembranous ossifciation

A

this is the formation of bone form within a condensed layer or membrane of primitive mesenchymal tissue as occurs in flat bones

43
Q

what is endchondral ossification

A

this is the formation of bone from a cartilage model as is typified by long bone development

44
Q

what are the 4 stages of intramembranous ossification

A
  1. within the mesenchymal tissue - mesenchymal cells differntiate into osteoblasts and centres of ossification are formed
  2. osteoblasts secrete osteoid at the centre of ossification, mineralisation of the osteoid occurs which forms the spicules of bone
  3. the size of the ossification centres increases through differentiation of more osteoblasts and addition of more bone on their surfaces
    - the group around fatal blood vessels in the mesenchymal membrane
    - the centres meet and fuse to form a spongy bone
    - mesenchyme condenses on the outer surface of the spongy bone forming a vascularised periosteum
  4. further fusion of outer trabecular and periosteal bone formaton, the outermost bone forms into a continuous sheet of woven bone
    - remodelling covnerts woven bone into lamellar compact bone with a haversian system
    - the inner bone is remodelled into lamellar bone but remains trabecular
    - mesenchymal cells within spaces of the tracebular bone differentiates into haemopoietic marrow cells
45
Q

what bones form by intramembranous ossification

A

flat bones of the skull

46
Q

what does the centre of the suture stain like

A

stains less pink due to the amount of collagen in it

47
Q

what are stages 1 to 3 of endochrondral ossification

A

stages 1-3 is the development of the primary ossifciation centre

48
Q

what bones develop via endochrondral ossification

A

long bones

49
Q

what is covered by perichondrium in long bones

A
  • the shaft 0 diaphysis

- future articular end portions - epiphyses

50
Q

describe stages 1-3 of endochondral ossifications

A
  1. conversion of the perichondrium around the shaft of the cartilage model into a periosteum with osteogenic potential
    - mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts and lay down a collar bone
  2. the cartilage cells in the centre of the diaphysis enlarge therefor ether leave only thin intervening segments of cartilage matrix
    - matrix becomes calcified and cells degenerated
  3. a blood vessel - the nutrient artery - perforates the bony collar around the diaphysis and enters the central area of calcified cartilage
    - the nutrient artery carries primitive mesenchymal cells and osteoprogenitor cells
    - osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteoblasts and secrete osteoid and form bone on the remnants of the calcified cartilage
    - trabecular bone is thus formed in the centre of the diaphysis this is called the primary ossification centre
51
Q

what do stages 4-5 of endochondral ossification forms

A

they form the secondary ossifciation centres and the epiphyseal growth plate

52
Q

describe stages 4-5 of endochondral ossification

A
  1. at the epiphyseal ends cartilage cells hypertrophy and die
    - matrix becomes calcified and blood vessels carry osteoprogenitor cells into the area
    - upon differentiation into osteoblasts the cells start to form trabecular bones in the centres of the epiphyses these sites are secondary ossification centres
  2. bone continues to replace the cartilage in the epiphyses
    - cartilage only remains on the articular surfaces at the joint and in a plate located between the diaphysis and epiphysis
    - this plate is called the epiphyseal growth plate
    - this allows the bone to continue to grow in length until the end of puberty
53
Q

how does growth in width happen

A

appositional group

54
Q

describe the process of appositional growth

A
  • more bone is laid down by osteoblasts in the periosteum
  • more cartilage is laid down on articulating surface by chondroblsats
  • the remodelling of bone as a whole occurs to maintain the correct amounts of compact and trabecular bone and articular cartilage for the bone
55
Q

how do bones growth in length

A
  • long bones occurs as interstitial growth due tot eh events at the epiphyseal growth plate during endochondral ossification
56
Q

what zones are from the epiphyseal side to the diaphysial side

A
  1. zone of resting or reserve cartilage
  2. zone of proliferation
  3. zone of maturation and hypertrophy
  4. zone of degeneration and calcification of cartilage matrix
  5. zone of osteogenesis
57
Q

describe the zones of the epipsypehal growth plate

A
  • the hyaline cartilage is found closest to the episypeal bone
  • closer to the diaphysis the cartilage cells form columns of cells
  • these cells then mature and hypertrophy
  • cartilage starts to degenerate and there is death of chondrocytes
  • then calcification of the intervening matrix happens
  • invading capillaries from the marrow cavity of diaphysis carry osteoblasts into the spaces left by the dead chrondcocyte s
  • osteoblasts produce new bone and form new trabecular bone that acts to lengthen the diaphysis
58
Q

what name is given to the central shaft part of the bone

A

diaphysis

59
Q

what are sharpers fibres

A
  • dense collagen fibre bundles that insert into the bone matrix from the muscle
