Q

Rigid strong bones – for bearing weight and is the major supporting tissue of the body. Cartilage – provides a firm yet flexible support within certain structures (ex. nose and
external ears).
Ligaments – are strong bands of fibrous connective tissue that attach to bone and hold them together.

31
Q

Osteoblasts beneath the periosteum secrete bone matrix, forming ridges that follow the course of periosteal blood vessels.

As the bony ridges enlarge and meet, the groove containing the blood vessel becomes a tunnel.

The periosteum lining the tunnel is transformed into an endosteum and the osteoblasts just deep to the tunnel endosteum secrete bone matrix, narrowing the canal.

As the osteoblasts beneath the endosteum form new lamellae, a new osteon is created.

Meanwhile new circumferential lamellae are elaborated beneath the periosteum and the process is repeated, continuing to enlarge bone diameter.

Q

Growth
Bone grows in length because:
1. Cartilage
Grows here
2. Cartilage replaced by bone here
3. Cartilage grows here
4. Cartilage replaced by bone here

Remodelling
Growing shaft is remodeled by :
1. Bone resorbed here

3. Bone resorbed here

A

Endochondral Growth

36
Q

It involves the removal of old bone by cells called osteoclast and the deposition of new bone by osteoblast.

It occurs in all bone.

A

Bone Remodeling

37
Q

Remodeling is responsible for:

A

Bone growth
Changes in bone shape
Adjustment of bone to stress
Bone repair
Calcium ion regulation

38
Q

Bone remodeling involves the removal of old bone by cells called —— and the deposition of new bone by —-.

A

osteoclast, osteoblast

39
Q

Bone remodeling Consists of three consecutive phases:

A

Resorption
Reversal
Formation

40
Q

– during which osteoclasts digest old bone.

A

Resorption

41
Q

when mononuclear cells appear on the bone surface.

A

Reversal

42
Q

when osteoblasts lay down new bone until the resorbed bone is completely replaced.

A

Formation

43
Q

A process in which a bone repairs itself following a bone fracture.
When a bone is broken, a clot forms in the damaged area.
Callus forms, the zone of tissue repair between the two bone fragments.
Osteoblasts enter the callus and form cancellous bone.
The cancellous bone is slowly remodeled to form compact bone and the repair is complete.

A

Bone Repair (Healing)

44

50
Q

The movement of calcium in and out of bone helps determine.

A

blood calcium levels

51
Q

Calcium moves — bone as —- build new bone.

Calcium move — of bone as —- break down bone.

A

out, osteoclasts

52
Q

Calcium homeostasis is maintained by —— and ——.

A

parathyroid hormone, calcitonin

53
Q

is maintained by parathyroid hormone and calcitonin.

A

Calcium homeostasis

54
Q

Osteoclasts break down bone and release calcium into the blood, and osteoblasts remove
calcium from the blood to make bone. PTH regulates blood calcium levels by indirectly stimulating osteoclast activity, resulting in increased calcium release into the blood. Calcitonin plays a minor role in calcium maintenance by inhibiting osteoclast activity.

In the kidneys, PTH increases calcium reabsorption from the urine

In the kidneys, PTH also promotes the formation of active vitamin D, which increases calcium
absorption from the small intestine.

A

Bone and Calcium Homeostasis

literally means “without cartilage formation”.
the problem is not in forming cartilage but in converting it to bone.

A

“without cartilage formation”.
