(P) Lec 5: Bones and Cartilages Flashcards
Familiarize the functions of the bones
- Provides solid support for the body
- Protects vital organs
- Attachment for muscles, tendons, and ligaments
- Acts as levers by which movement is produced
- Reservoir of calcium, phosphate & other ions
These are:
- Undifferentiated cells capable of mitosis
- Mesenchymal stem cells
- Potential to proliferate and differentiate
into osteoblasts - Role in bone growth and repair
Osteoprogenitor Cells
Where did osteoprogenitor cells develop from?
Embryonic tissue
What does osteoblasts synthesize?
Osteoid
Main function of osteoblasts?
Bone formation
Where are osteoblasts found?
Lining surfaces of the bone matrix
Two types of osteoblasts
Active and Inactive
Osteoblasts that are cuboidal or columnar with basophilic cytoplasm
Active
Osteoblasts that are flat cells that line the endosteum and periosteum
Inactive
These are:
- Mature cells
- Flat, almond-shaped
- With cytoplasmic processes
- Found in cavities (lacunae)
- Between bone matrix layers (lamellae)
- Maintain bone matrix
Osteocytes
Where are osteocytes found?
Lacunae
The communication in osteocytes are through what?
Canaliculi
What is the main function of the osteocytes?
Maintains the bone matrix
These are:
- Motile, multinucleated giant cells
- Fusion of bone marrow derived cells
- Role in matrix resorption
Osteoclasts
Where do osteoclasts lie?
Within the resorption lacunae
The resorption lacunae is also called what?
Howship’s lacunae
These are produced by the fusion of bone marrow-derived monocytes
Osteoclasts
These erode the bone matrix during remodeling
Osteoclasts
What is the main function of the osteoclast?
Bone resorption
The Bone matrix is composed of what two part?
Inorganic and Organic
This makes up 50% of the bone matrix
Inorganic and Organic (they’re both 50%)
What is most abundant in the inorganic part of the bone matrix?
Calcium hydroxyapatite
This is also composed of Bicarbonate, citrate, magnesium, potassium, sodium ions; Calcium phosphate
Bone Matrix - Inorganic
The organic part of the bone matrix is composed of what type of collagen?
Type I
This has:
* Proteoglycan aggregates
* Multiadhesive glycoproteins
Bone Matrix - Organic
Two types of multi-adhesive glycoproteins
- Osteonectin
- Osteocalcin
What is the association of minerals with collagen fibers?
hardness and resistance of bone tissue
Cartilages are composed of what type of collagen?
Type II
What are the two fibrous coverings of the bone?
Periosteum and Endosteum
The periosteum is composed of which 2 layers?
Outer & Inner layer
Layer of periosteum composed of DCT, BVs, collagen bundles, fibroblasts
Outer layer
Layer of periosteum composed of:
- Perforating collagen fibers
- Penetrate bone matrix
- Bind periosteum to bone
Sharpey’s fibers
What bind periosteum to the bone?
Sharpey’s fibers
Layer of the periosteum that is more cellular, and has:
- Bone lining cells
- Osteoblasts
- Osteoprogenitor cells
Inner layer
This periosteum layer nourishes osseous tissue and provide continuous supply of new osteoblasts
Inner layer
Why can the inner layer of the periosteum provide a continuous supply of new osteoblasts?
It contains the osteoprogenitor cells
Fibrous covering of the bone that:
- Covers small trabeculae of bony matrix
that project into marrow cavities - Thinner
- Contains: Bone lining cells, Osteoblasts, Osteoprogenitor cells
Endosteum
What are the two main types of bones?
Compact/Cortical Bone and Cancellous/Trabecular/ Spongy
Type of bone that’s found in dense areas near the surface of a bone
Compact/ Cortical Bone
T or F: Compact bone doesn’t have interstitial lamellae
False
Type of bone that has parallel lamellae or densely packed osteons
Compact bone
The Compact bone composes how many percent of the total bone mass?
80%
The Spongy bone composes how many percent of the total bone mass?
20%
Type of bone that’s found in deeper areas
Spongy bone
The spongy bone has interconnected thin spicules or trabeculae covered by what?
Endosteum
Type of bone composed of numerous
interconnecting cavities
Spongy bone
This is the bone organization in adults, compact or spongy. Also characterized by multiple layers or lamellae of calcified matrix
Lamellar bone
These are organized either parallel to
each other or concentrically around a
central canal
Lamellae
