MSK 1 Flashcards
Osteoblast have what origin?
Mesenchymal origin
Osteoblasts produce what?
Osteoid
What bone cells initiate mineralization? And how?
Osteoblasts, by sending signals that control deposition of calcium and other minerals
Osteocytes stimulate what?
Formation and Resorption of Bone
Osteocytes play an important role in the homeostasis of what?
Calcium and Phosphorus
___________ are VERY sensitive to changes in mechanical forces on bone and produce regulatory factors that direct mechanical forces on bone and produce regulatory factors that direct __________ and ________of bone of bone
Osteocytes, modelling and re‐modelling
____________ have hematopoietic stem cell origin
Osteoclasts
How are osteoclasts formed?
fusion of cells from monocyte/macrophage lineage (form multinucleated cells)
What is the primary function of Osteoclasts?
Resorption of Bone
How does osteclasts resorb bone?
produce acid hydrolases that dissolve and breakdown the inorganic and organic portions of bone
What is Periosteum?
The outer lining of bone
What makes up the extracellular matrix of bone? And are they organic or inorganic?
Osteoid (organic) and Calcium hydroxyapatite (CHAP) crystals (inorganic)
Osteoid is made up of what? And which component is in greatest quantity?
Predominantly collagen fibers and glycoproteins.
Approximately 90% is type I collagen
What are the Microscopic Classifications of bone?
Woven and Lamellar bone
What is woven bone?
Immature bone that is present during fetal development and in the early stages of bone repair (active remodeling)
- A microscopic classification
What is Lamellar Bone? How are collagen fibres arranged?
Mature bone: Collagen fibers are arranged in a parallel pattern
- A microscopic classification
What are the Macroscopic Classifications of bone?
Compact Bones and Cancellous Bone
Name 3 characteristics of compact bone
- Compact bone is found in the cortex of bone or below articular cartilage.
- Compact bone is HIGH DENSITY.
- Compact bone can be either woven (if it’s immature or reactive) or lamellar (if it’s mature)
Name 3 characteristics of cancellous bone
- Cancellous bone is found in the
medullary cavity of bones. - Cancellous bone is LOW DENSITY.
- Cancellous bone can also be either mature (lamellar) bone or immature (woven) bone
Is woven bone cancellous or compact bone?
NIETHER! cancellous or compact bone can be either lameler (mature) or wooden (immature)
what is endochondral ossification ?
Bone develops from a hyaline cartilaginous model that is subsequently replaced by osseous tissue present in the ossification centers
What is unique about intramembranous ossification?
There is no pre‐existing cartilaginous model
Growth (lengthening) of the bone occurs on on what side of the bone?
metaphyseal side
What is skeletal maturity?
Once the growth plate closes and there is no further increase in length of the bone
