Wk 5 Bone Flashcards
Endocrine function of osteoblasts
stimulation of PTH receptors causes release of osteoclast stimulating factor
–> bone resorption
In what manner does bone grow
appositional growth
Osteoblasts form what type of layer on bone
epitheloid layer
What are the recesses that house osteocytes called
lacunae
Are bones:
vascularized?
innervated?
yes
yes, especially periosteum
Cellular origins of osteoclasts
monocytes
Special microscopic characteristic of osteoclasts
multinucleated
Howship’s lacunae
depression where osteoclast is located
Hydroxyapatite crystals
calcium storage in bone
What type of crystals store calcium in bone
hydroxyapetite
What type of collagen is found in bone
type I
Glycoproteins in bone matrix function to what
bind different matrix components together
Cancellous/medullary bone
interior of bone, web-like network
Where does most bone turnover happen
medullary bone (more surface area)
Compact/cortical bone
dense, hard
Woven bone
“primary bone”
present up to 4 y/o and healing
Lamellar bone
“secondary bone”
replaces woven bone
mature bone
