Q

Cells of bone

  • function
  • formation
  • other things needed to make bone
A
  • osteoblasts (form bone)
  • osteoclasts (multi nucleated macrophage tha breaks down bone)
  • osteoprogenitor cells -> pre-osteoblasts -> osteoblasts -> osteocytes (comm in osteon)

Q

Bone formation

  • model: grows in length vs diameter
  • perichondrium
  • periosteum
  • formation of bone collar
  • formation of matrix calcification
  • trabecular formation: who is involved
  • secondary ossification
A
  • hyaline cartilage -> grows in length by cartilage producing cells; diameter growth is in addition of ECM
  • CT that covers cartilage produces periosteum
  • CT that covers bone
  • bony collar
  • osteoblasts peel back periosteum and secrete osteoid on shaft of bone
  • chondrocytes in primary ossification center secrete alkaline phosphatase causing matrix ossification -> will then produce VEGF and apoptose and matrix will deteriorate to form cavity
  • VEGF causes angiogenesis in medullary cavity, blood vessels come from perichondrium moving up and down shaft of bone, also bring hematopoetic and osteoprogenitor stem cells into medullary cavity
  • made with osteoblasts and osteoclasts
  • secondary is at epiphyseal ends, connected to primary by growth plates, doesnt mature until after birth

Q

Fat embolism

  • primary
  • secondary
  • what happens
  • tx
A
  • long bone fracture
  • pancreatitis -> bc auto digestion of fatty organ
  • lipid fat globule will escape from BM and will go into lungs illiciting immune response -> will end up causing decrease surfactant -> ARDS
