Q

What are the 3 steps of appositional growth?

A
  1. Fibroblasts in fibrous layer divide mitotically
  2. Chondroblast in cell rich layer of perichondrium secrete cartilage matrix
  3. Chondrocytes in lacunae in cartilage

Q

What are the 3 steps of interstitial growth?

A
  1. Chondrocytes in lacunae divide mitotically
  2. Daughter cells in original single lacunae secrete cartilage matrix and daughter cells in own lacunae form isogenic group
  3. Increase of cartilage from within

Q

Why does cartilage have poor recovery after injury?

A
  • Avascular
  • Immobile chondrocytes
  • Limited proliferative ability
  • Normally repair w/ dense CT
  • area is filled w/ scar tissue and not cartilage

Q

List the 5 bone cell types

A
  1. Osteoprogenitor cells
  2. Bone lining cells
  3. Osteocytes
  4. Osteoblasts
  5. Osteoclasts
17
Q

What are the locations of each of the 5 bone cells?

A
  1. Osteoprogenitor cells - in periosteum, endosteum, Haversian canals and Volkman’s canal
  2. Osteoblast - on surface areas of bone formation (e.g periosteum, etc.)
  3. Osteoclasts - on SA of bone remodelling areas
  4. Osteocytes - lacunae
  5. Bone lining cells - on SA of bones that are NOT remodelling, like periosteum and endosteum
18
Q

What are the functions of the 5 bone cell types?

A
  1. Osteoprogenitor - differentiates into osteoblasts
  2. Osteoblasts - differentiates into osteocytes and bone lining cells
  3. Osteocytes - maintain matrix in mature bone
  4. Bone lining cells - maintains and nutritional support osteocytes AND regulates movement of Ca+ and K+
  5. Osteoclasts - bone matrix resorption
19
Q

Name the 4 lamellar systems.

A
  1. Outer circumferential lamellar system
  2. Inner circumferential lamellar system
  3. Haversian system (osteon)
  4. Interstitial lamellar system
20
Q

What are the 7 characteristics of the Haversian system and what are the characteristics of the Haversian canal, Volkman’s canal, lacunae and canaliculi?

A
  1. Cylindrical units
  2. Parallel to long axis of bone
  3. Concentric lamellae
  4. Haversian canal *contain blood vessels, endosteum, nerves, CT
  5. Lacunae
    * contain osteocytes; between lamellae
  6. Canaliculi -*spaces in matrix
    * contain cytoplasmic processes of osteocytes connected by gap junctions
    * passage of substances
  7. Volkman’s canals
    * perforating canals
    * appr. right angle to long axis of bone
    * connects blood vessels from periosteum & endosteum to the Haversian canals
    * connect diff. Haversian canals
21
Q

Name the two types of bone formation.

A
  1. Intramembranous

2. Endochondral

22
Q

How is the Haversian system formed?

A
  1. Resorption cavity tunnel formed by osteoclasts
  2. Blood vessels and CT occupy tunnel
  3. Bone deposition on outer wall from periphery inward and by lamellae
23
Q

Describe the process of bone fracture repair.

A
