Week 9 - Bone Formation and Resorption Flashcards
What is the alveolar bone also known as?
Cribiform plate or bundle bone
How is the cribiform plate formed?
as a result of attachment of the PDL fibers and passage of vessels and nerves into and out of the PDL
What is the term bundle bone referred to?
bone in which Sharpey’s fibers (PDL) are embedded
What is woven bone?
immature/newly formed bone in which the collagen fiber matrix is randomly oriented
What is woven bone associated with?
generally newly formed (embryologic development) or associated with healing wounds
How does woven bone compare to mature bone?
- Has more cells per unit area
- Contains a greater volume of non-collagenous protein
- Forms more rapidly than mature bone
What is lamellar bone?
mature/secondarily formed bone
What can lamellar bone be classified as?
Spongy/cancellous and compact/cortical
What is spongiosa/cancellous bone?
trabecular bone that lies between the cortical plates and within the marrow spaces
Describe the appearance of spongiosa/cancellous bone
- Trabeculae lined with osteoblasts (bone lining cells)
- Has random orientation of collagen fibers
What are facial and lingual cortical plates made of?
Made up of lamellar bone, haversian bone, or interstitial bone
What is the composition of bone?
67% inorganic (Calcium hydroxyapatite)
33% organic
- 28% collagen
- 5% proteins (osteocalcin, sialoprotein, osteonectin, BMP)
What is osteoid?
bone matrix formed by osteoblasts (5-10 um increments)
What is the function of osteoblasts?
Make bone (active bone lining cells)
What is the function of osteoclasts?
Remove bone
What is an osteocyte?
An osteoblast that has been entrapped by its own osteoid matrix
What are bone lining cells?
Flattened inactive osteoblasts that line trabecular bone. Protect bony surface from osteoclast activity
What are chondroblasts?
Lay down cartilage
What are chondrocytes?
Maintain ECM and produce cartilage matrix
What are mesenchymal cells?
Undifferentiated cells
What are canaliculi?
how osteoblasts and osteoclasts communicate with the outside environment
What is the process of communication of canaliculi?
Processes of the osteocytes travel within the canaliculi and connect to other osteocytes/osteoblasts, allowing cell-to-cell communication
What other properties can the canaliculi have?
Mechanoreception
What is the periosteum?
A dense connective tissue, bound to bone by Sharpey’s fibers, that contains blood vessels, nerves, and three cell layers
What are the three cell layers of the periosteum?
- Peripheral cell layer of fibroblasts
- Intermediate cell layer of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells
- Proximal cell layer of osteoblasts
What is the PDL a modified version of?
Modified version of a periosteum
What does the endosteum line?
the medullary cavity and cancellous bone (trabeculae)
What is the endosteum similar in composition to?
Generally has the same composition as periosteum but is significantly thinner
