Musculoskeletal Flashcards
cells that are actively forming cartilage
- Actively secrete and surround themselves with gel like matrix until they become trapped in cavities (lacunae)
Chondroblasts
cells surrounded by cartilage
- Enclosed chondroblasts in lacunae
Chondrocytes
flexible yet firm connective tissue
Cartilage
__% calcium
__% phosphate
__% carbonate
37-40
50-58
2-8
process in which the cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchymal tissue which can differentiate chondrocyte and fibrin secreting molecules from the exocellular matrix
Chondrification or chondrogenesis
group of cells and cell products that collectively form bone.
- Another term for bone tissue
Osseous tissue
stem cells capable of differentiating into osteoblasts; active during childhood (period of growth and development) and activated in response to injury
Osteogenic cells
bone building cells
Osteoblasts
Osteoblast Communication is the secretion of
Cytokines
Collagen type 1 - __%
Osteocalcin and other minerals - __%
90
10
mature osteoblasts
Osteocytes
bone removing cells, secretes HCl to dissolve mineral component of bone matrix (bone/mineral resorption=dissolved minerals are released into the blood)
Osteoclasts
Osteoclast Communication is secretion of
enzyme
growth of the skeleton until the mature height is achieved
Bone modeling
Bone modeling Typically completed during
Puberty
Bone modeling completed in girls in the age
16-18
Bone modeling completed in boys in the age
18-20
formation exceeds the resorption; reached by 30 years of age
Peak Bone Mass
bone is resorbed continuously through the action of the osteoclasts and reformed through the action of the osteoblasts.
Bone remodeling
Bone mass is dependent on the
Diet and PA
Protein
Calcium
Vitamin D
Overweight/Obesity
Malnutrition
Importance of Nutrition
- most common
- characterized by loss of bone mass
- compromised bone strength and
- increased susceptibility to fracture
Osteoporosis
Postmenopausal osteoporosis
- There is an estrogen adrogen deficient
- Loss of trabecular bone tissue
- Cessation ovarian production of estrogen
Type 1
Senile osteoporosis
Age related osteoporosis occurs approximately at the age of 70 and beyond
Type 2
