QUIZ 4 Bone: Structure and Function Flashcards
bone is composed as ___ overlaid on a ___ scaffold
- hydroxyapatite
- collagen I
what are the non-collagenous proteins found in bone?
- bone sialoprotein (BSP)
- osteopontin (OP)
- osteocalcin (OC)
- osteonectin (ON)
- matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein
bone is ___% inorganic and ___% organic
- 67
- 33
describe the organic component of bone
- 33% of overall bone composition
- 28% collagen, 5% noncollagenous proteins
what are the physiological roles of bone?
- structural
- calcium homeostasis (9-10 mg/dL)
- reservoir for growth factors in tissue repair
- contains both hematopoietic and mesenchymal progenitor cell populations in marrow
describe the macrostructure of bone
- outer layer of dense compact (cortical) bone, with an inner cavity
- inner cavity contains marrow (red or yellow) and cancellous (trabecular) bone
- bone is highly vascular with a network of blood vessels
describe the macrostructure of compact bone
- 3 organizational units
- circumferential - outer ring of bone tissue
- concentric (osteonic) lamellae - intact osteons
- interstitial lamellae - fill space between concentric lamellae; former concentric lamellae
the ___ is the basic functional unit of compact bone
osteon
___ connect haversian canals, linking osteons
volkmann’s canals
describe osteons
- form cylinders running parallel to the long axis of a bone
- formed from concentric lamellae
- concentric rings of bone, built around a canal housing a capillary (haversian canal)
___ is found at the ends of long bones, in apposition to joints and is associated with the marrow spaces
cancellous bone
what is the function of cancellous bone?
provides structural support for marrow tissues, and is highly vascular
cancellous bone is the site of ___ production, and also supports ___ and ___ progenitor cell populations
- blood cell
- mesenchymal and hematopoietic
what is the periosteum?
- connective tissue layer attached to the outer surface of a bone by sharpey’s fibers
- consists of two layers - outer fibrous layer and inner layer in apposition to the bone surface
- the inner layer is both highly cellular and highly vascularized
what is the endosteum?
- loose connective tissue covering the inner surface of both cancellous and compact bone
- separate the marrow from the bone
- poorly defined histologically
what are the 3 bone cells, and what are their functions?
- osteoblasts - bone forming cells with a mesenchymal origin
- osteocytes - bone cells; encapsulated osteoblasts (also mesenchymal in origin)
- osteoclasts - cells that break down bone tissue; hematopoietic origin
the carefully regulated interactions between osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts is responsible for ___, ___, and ___
bone formation, repair, and maintenance
___ are mononucleated cells which synthesize osteoid matrix
osteoblasts
osteoblasts arise from ___
mesenchyme (ectomesenchyme in the head)
osteoblasts differentiate in response to a cascade of ___
growth factors
osteoblasts have a role in both ___ and ___
bone formation and repair
osteoblasts communicate with each other through ___
gap junctions
they do not form complexes
what do osteoblasts produce? what do they secrete?
- produce osteoid matrix, similar to odontoblasts
- produce AND secrete collagen, non collagenous proteins via vesicles
- secrete growth factors into osteoid matrix, where they are sequestered (TGF-beta-1, BMP2, IGF I and II, PDGF, FGF)
after bone formation, ___ flatten and form bone lining cells
osteoblasts
___ are osteoblasts that embed themselves into bone matrix
osteocytes
