what are the 3 major classes of cartilage
hyaline cartilage
elastic cartilage
fibrocartilage
what does the skeletal system in all vertebrates begin as
cartilage
what are the cell components of cartilage
chondroblasts (cartilage-forming cells)
chondrocytes (cartilage-maintenance cells)
what are the components of the extracellular matrix of cartilage
collagen fibers (mostly type 2 (type 1 in fibrocartilage)) amorphous grous substance
what are the functions of cartilage
compressible resists distortion absorbs shock in joints reduces friction in movable joints necessary for endochondral bone growth involved in bone fracture repair
what is characteristic of cartilage formation
- chondroblasts (lay down cartilage matrix and becomes chondrocytes)
- chondrocytes (maintain cartilage matrix)
- lacunae: pockets within the matrix where the chondroblasts and chondrocytes are found
what is the perichondrium
it surrounds cartilage and is a membrane-like layer
what is the outer and inner layers of the perichondrium consists of
outer fibrous layer: contains fibroblasts
inner chondrogenic layer (cartilage forming layer): gives rise to chondroblasts, which become chondrocytes. Chondrocyte is involved in the production of the collagen and proteoglycans in the matrix. Chondrocytes also secrete chondronectin
what secretes chondronectin
chondrocytes
what is an isogenous group
groups of 2-8 chondroctes occupying the same lacunae. Result of mitotic division. Cells will become separated as they begin to lay down matrix of their own
What are the components of the cartilage matrix
- collagen type 2 (1 in fibrocartilage)
- hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid)
- chondroitin sulfate, keratan sulfate, herparin sulfate
- glycosaminoglycans

woven bone (occurs during bone development and bone repair) compact bone (also called lamellar bone) spongy bone (also called trabecular or cancellous bone)
what are characteristics of compact bone
- lacks cavities and forms a dense plate
- Haversian lamellae that encircle a central blood vessel forming an osteon
- osteocytes are found between the lamellae located in lacunae & are connected to each other and the Haversian canal via canaliculi
- volkmann’s canals run perpendicular to the haversian cancels
what are characteristics of trabecular (spongy) bone
3D lattice of branching, bony spicules intertwined to form trabeculae surrounding the bone marrow spaces in the long bones and flat bones
what does the endosteum consists of
osteoprogenitor cells & reticular fibers
what are sharpey’s fibers
collagen fibers derived from the outer layer of periosteum, projecting into the outer circumferential lamellar system (connect bone to marrow)
what provides nutrients to osteocytes
a blood vessels within the haversian canal
what is alkaline phosphatase
an ectoenzyme (cell surface enzyme) that hydrolyzes monophosphate esters at high pH
what are osteoprogenitor cells
- stem cells (in adults are described as bone lining cells)
- in adults, found in inner portion of periosteum, endosteum, and lining of vascular canals of compact bone
- derived from mesenchyme of the embryonic sometime and possess mitotic potential
- give rise to osteoblasts and bone lining cells
what are osteocytes
derived from osteoblasts and are trapped by the matrix they secete
what are osteoclast cells
- maintain matrix that is already there and play role in uptake and release of phosphates and calcium
- derived from monocyte lineage, which, in turn, is derived form the monocyte precursors in bone marrow
where does the ARF cycle occur
at adult remodeling sites and during development
what does vitamin D3 do for bones
regulates expression of osteoclaclin
what is the parathyroid hormone (PTH) the primary regulator for
bone turnover
what occurs at low and high PTH levels in bone formation
low: bone formation by osteoblasts is stimulated
high: osteoblasts are stimulated to release osteoclasts-differentiation factors
what are the steps for osteoblast regulation of osteoclasts
PTH binds to recepts on osteoblast
osteoblasts stimulated to synthesize MCSF and RANKL
osteoblasts releases M-CSF
M-CSF binds to M-CSF receptor
monocyte is now a macrophage and expresses RANK
RANK BINDS TO RANKL
macrophage becomes a multinucleate immature osteoclast
osteblast secretes protegerin
non-functional osteoclast uncouples form the osteoblast and becomes a functional osteoclast

what forms the periosteal collar
osteoprogenitor cells of the perichondrium
what is the metaphysis
part of the diaphysis nearest the epiphysis
describe each zone of endochondral ossificaiton
reserve: primitive hyaline cartilage responsible for the growth in length of the bone as erosion and bone deposition advance into this zone
proliferative: proliferating chondrocytes align as vertical and parallel column
hypertrophic: apoptosis of chondrocytes and calcification of the terroritial matrix
vascular invasion: blood vessels penetrate the transverse calcified septa, and carry osteoprogenitor cells with them
how does bone grow in length
- ossification front invades and destroys the chondrocytes and passes through the site previously occupied by the chondrocytes
- calcification of the cartilage matrix surrounding hypertrophic chondrocytes
- proliferating chondrocytes away from the ossification front increase the length of the cartilage
what are the stages of periosteal bone growth
- new aversion system forms under the periosteum
- ridges fuse and the groove becomes a bony tunnel enclosing the blood vessel
- additional bone lamellae are deposited around the tunnel, which is then converted into the aversion canal containing a blood vessel
- the aversion vessel continues to receive blood through the canals of volkmann extending obliquely across the diaphysis
- when bone reaches full size, and inner circumferential lamellae provide the boundaries of the compact bone consisting of aversion systems, interstitial lamellae are found between aversion systems
what are the steps of compact bone remodeling (within an osteon)
- activation
- resorption
- reversal
- formation
