Osteoblast

A
  • Bone forming cells
  • Secrete bone matrix
  • Collagen and Osteoid
15
Q

Osteoid

A
  • Immature bone matrix

- Glue that will hold calcium crystals and collagen fibers

16
Q

Osteoclast

A
  • Giant multinucleate cells derived from stem cells in bone marrow
  • Degrade bone matrix
  • Ruffled border
  • Increases surface area for degrading bone matrix
17
Q

How do osteoclasts degrade bone matrix?

A
  • HCl degrades hydroxyapatites

- Lysosomal enzymes degrade collagen

18
Q

Osteocytes

A
  • Reside in lacuna
  • Monitor their environment
  • Maintain bone matrix by regulating osteoblasts and osteoclasts
19
Q

Structure of bone

A
  • Spongy bone
  • Compact bone
  • Articular cartilage
20
Q

Trabeculae

A

-Network of supporting “beams” present in spongy bone

21
Q

Long Bone Anatomy

A
  • Diaphysis
  • Epiphysis
  • Periosteum
  • Endosteum
22
Q

Diaphysis

A

-Shaft
-Compact bone-dense
-Medullary cavity
Yellow marrow-adipose
Red Marrow-hematopoiesis

23
Q

Epiphysis

A
  • Ends of bone
  • Compact bone-outer layer
  • Spongy bone-porous
  • Epiphyseal line
  • Articular cartilage
24
Q

Epiphyseal line

A

-Former growth plate

25
Q

Articular Cartilage

A
  • Cartilage at ends of bones
  • Made of hyaline
  • No nerves
  • Smooth
  • Enables bones to glide
26
Q

Periosteum

A

-Fibrous tissue coating outer surface of bones

27
Q

Outer Layer Composition of Periosteum

A
  • Dense Irregular tissue
  • Surface for muscle attachment
  • Vascular
28
Q

Inner Layer Composition of Periosteum

A

-Contains osteogenic cells

29
Q

Sharpey’s fibers

A
  • Collagen fibers

- Attach periosteum to bone

30
Q

A
  • Lines medullary cavity

- Contains Osteogenic cells

31
Q

Types of Bone Marrow

A
  • Yellow Bone Marrow

- Red Bone Marrow

32
Q

Yellow Bone Marrow

A

-Fat Storage

33
Q

Red Bone Marrow

A

-Site of production for blood cells
-Contains hematopoietic stem cells
-These cells have the potential to differentiate into:
WBCs
RBCs
Platelets

34
Q

Hematopoiesis

A

-The process by which hematopoietic stem cells self-renew and differentiate to form RBCs, WBCs, and platelets

35
Q

Where is hematopoietic tissue located in newborns?

A

-Medullary cavity of long bones and all areas of spongy bone that contains red marrow

Q

How is bone made?

A

42
Q

Intramembranous Ossification

A
  • Differentiation of bone from mesenchymal stem cells found in fibrous connective tissue
  • Process by which cranial bones and clavicles are formed
  • Begins at 8 weeks of development-fibrous connective tissue starts to ossify
43
Q

Endochondrial Ossification

A

-Process by which cartilage is turned into bone

44
Q

Intramembranous ossification step 1

A
  • Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts

- Osteoblasts start laying down matrix (collagen, osteoid) to form ossification centers

45
Q

Intramembranous Ossification step 2

A
  • Osteoids calcify forming the bone matrix

- Trapped osteoblasts turn into osteocytes

46
Q

Intramembranous Ossification step 3

A
  • Trabeculae and periosteum form
  • Osteoid is laid down between embryonic blood vessels forming trabeculae
  • Vasculized mesenchyme condenses and becomes the periosteum
47
Q

Intramembranous Ossification step 4

A
  • Trabeculae deep to periosteum are replaced by compact bone-forming compact bone plates
  • Spongey bone (diploe) persists inside
