Describe the normal skeletal system
Normal skeletal system

- 30% is composed of organic elements (90% collagen type I) including osteocalcin (most abundant noncollagen protein/important for bone mineralization and acts as serum marker of bone formation and density)
- Numerous growth factors including osteoblast-activating Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF-beta) and bone morphogenic protein (BMP)
- Cellular components: osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts
Outside of bone is made of _____ bone while inside is made of _____
Outside of bone is made of cortical/lamellar bone while inside is made of spongy/trabecular/cancellous bone

Describe intramembranous bone formation
Intramembranous bone formation
- Develops from collagen (collagen modeled bone)
- Forms flat bones of skull and clavicles
- Periosteal osteoprogenitor cells form osteoblasts and responsible for prepubertal thickening of cortex and bone widening (appositional bone growth)
Describe enchondral bone formation
Enchondral bone formation
- Develops from epiphyseal cartilage of the growth plate (cartilage modeled bone)
- Forms appendicular and axial skeleton and responsible for prepubertal bone lengthening
Enchondral bone formation is responsible for development of _____ skeleton
Enchondral bone formation is responsible for development of appendicular skeleton
(perturbations/arrest in normal endochondral ossification lead to many congenital and metabolic bone diseases)

____, ____, ____, and ____ stimulate cartilage growth in the zone of proliferation in enchondral bone formation
IHH, PTHrP, BMP, and ILGF-1 stimulate cartilage growth in the zone of proliferation in enchondral bone formation

_____ and _____ are immature bone
Osteoid and woven bone are immature bone
____ is mature bone
Lamellar bone is mature bone
Osteoid is ______
Osteoid is unmineralized poorly organized bone matrix (Type I collagen) formed rapidly
(immature, becomes adult bone once mineralized)

Woven bone is _____
Woven bone is mineralized immature bone formed rapidly and the main component of prepubertal bone
![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/brainscape-prod/system/cm/308/810/038/a_image_thumb.png?1587077394)
Mineralized mature bone forms ____ and has ____ parallel ____ fibers and evenly distributed ____
Mineralized mature bone forms slowly and has parallel collagen type I fibers (lamellae) and evenly distributed osteocytes

Cortical (compact bone) involves _____, _____, and _____
Cortical (compact bone) involves collagen first deposited in circumferential lamellae, dissipation of mechanical stress via osteon formation, and collagen deposition around Haversian canals as concentric lamellae

Cancellous (spongy) bone is formed by ____ and involves deposition of ____
Cancellous (spongy) bone is formed by enchondral ossification and involves deposition of collagen in longitudinal lamellae

Cellular elements of bone are ____, ____, and ____
Cellular elements of bone are osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts
Describe osteoblasts
Osteoblasts
- Derived from mesenchymal stem cells & line surface of bone
- Cell surface receptors include PTH, Vitamin D, estrogen, and others
- Produce matrix proteins and type I collagen and initiate mineralization
Describe osteocytes
Osteocytes
- Osteoblasts that are incorporated into mature bone (most common cells in bone)
- Produce sclerostin: protein that inhibits further bone formation until osteocytes are stimulated

Describe osteoclasts
Osteoclasts
- Multinucleated giant cells formed from monocytic progenitor cells in response to RANK-ligand secreted from osteoblasts and bone stromal cells
- Responsible for bone resorption
- Located in resorption pits / Howship’s lacunae
