Q

What does Osteoblasts create?

A

Osteoid - unmineralised bone matrix

Matrix Vesicles - which create enzymes to increase calcification

Q

What are Osteoblasts?

A

Responsible for the formation of bone by way of collagen fibers, proteoglycans and glycoproteins. Active cells

Q

What are Osteocytes?

A

These are the maintaining bone cells. These are trapped within the matrix and look after the regulation of calcium.

These are the cells that destroy, additional over production of bone. Sit on the bone surface.

Q

Q

What is the 1st stage of Intramembranous Ossification?

A

When the Meschymal cells differentiate and become Osteoblasts.
These then duplicate and form Ossification center.
This center then produces Osteoid.

Q

What is the 2nd stage of Intramembranous Ossification?

A

The Osteoid becomes mineralised creating an ‘island of bone’ and the odd osteoblast becomes trapped creating an osteocyte.

14
Q

What is the 3rd stage of Intramembranous Ossification?

A

These islands of bone then join up creating an trabeculae, where blood vessels weave into.
Also the meschymal cells now become denser forming a sheath called a Periostium.

Q

What is a periostium?

A

A connective tissue sheath covering bones formed from Mesenchymal cells that have changed to become fibroblasts..

16
Q

What is a Trabeculae?

A

Where ‘Islands of bone’ join.

17
Q

What is the 4th stage of Intramembranous Ossification?

A

This is where the otter bone becomes compact bone while the inner bone remains spongy.
Red marrow develops internally.

18
Q

How many stages is there to Endochandral ossification?

A

5 stages

19
Q

How does endochondral ossification differ from Intramendous ossification?

A

Endo Oss - starts with a cartilage template and fills in with bone.
Intra Oss - spreads out from Osteoblast masses known as ossification centers.

20
Q

How is the Cartilage template made?

A

By Mesenchymal tissue, which change to Chodrocytes.

21
Q

What are the two areas of the long bone called?

A

Diaphysis - the shaft

Epiphyses - the club shaped ends.

22
Q

What is the 1st stage of Endochondral Ossification?

A
The central cartilage cells of the Diaphysis die, leving gaps.
The Pericondrium (covering) cells around the diaphysis (shaft) create Osteoblasts and start Intramembrous ossification!!
23
Q

What is the 2nd stage of Endochondral Ossification?

A

The central bone cavity continues to get bigger.
The bone collar gets thicker.
BUT, the present cartilage contines to grow at a greater rate than the osteblasts can lay osteoid cause growth/length.

24
Q

What is the 3rd Stage of Endochondral Ossification?

A

Capillaries come through the bone collar into the center releasing young osteoblasts, which form a primary ossification center.
Bone is now laid down where the cartilage once was.

25
Q

What is stage 4 of the Endochondral ossification?

A

Capillaries penetrate the Epiphyses and take Osteoblasts there which create a secondary ossification center.

26
Q

What happens in stage 5 of the Endochondral Ossification?

A

All cartilage is replaced by bone except the Epiphyseal plate and the articular cartilage at the tips.

27
Q

What is the function of the Epiphyseal plate?

A

To help with the growth of the bone into adulthood.

28
Q

What is the function of the articular cartilage?

A

It is to protect the apex/ articulating areas of the bone

29
Q

What are the 4 main stages to fracture repair?

A
Haematoma/inflammation (big bruise)
Soft Callus (4-20 days)
Hard Callus (14 -84 days)
Bone remodeling (weeks - years)
30
Q

What is lamellar bone?

A

Osteoid layers only found in fracture repair

31
Q

When dose revascularisation occur after a fracture?

A

Soft Callus stage
