Q

Whats a proteoglycan how does it relate to a GAG (define)

A

Glycoaminoglycan binds to a protein core to form a proteoglycan. The protein glycans can aggregate to form a hyaluronic acid

Q

In hyaline cartilage how does the cells vary.

A

Outer edges (perichondrium) Fibroblasts->Chondroblasts->Chondrocytes. These specialise towards the centre where they produce matrix and form lacunae (bundle together)

Q

What is an entheses?

What cartilage is found here?

Study These Flashcards
A

points of attachment of tendon and bone.

Fibrocartillage

25
What is endochondrial ossification?
replacement of a pre-existing hyaline cartilage template for bone
26
Where does endochondrial ossification occur in babies?
Long bones- Metacarpals
27
The femur has two growth plates found where?
Head of femur | Greater trochanter
28
What happens to the growth plate as it matures?
It will disappear
29
Draw a synovial joint.
No - go and draw it.
30
Endochondrial ossification. What week does it occur?
Week 14
31
Endochondrial ossification. What is the basic process?
Hyaline Cartilage -> Bone
32
Endochondrial ossification. | What type of bones
Long bones
33
Intramembranous ossification. | What type of bones? 3 examples?
Flat bones | Skull, Clavicle, Scapula, Pelvic bone
34
What is the purpose of Intramembranous ossification (Compared to appositional growth)
Thickening not lengthening
35
How does endochondrial ossification compare to Intramembranous ossification
EO is appositional growth which is growing bones by/in length IO is thickening
36
What are the 5 stages of IO
1) Mesenchymal stem cells form a tight cluster (Nidus) 2) MSC become OSTEOPROGENITOR CELLS 3) These become Osteoblasts which lay down OSTEOID (type I collagen) 4) Osteoid mineralises and forms bone tissue and OBs become osteocytes 5) Spicules join to form trabeculae, merge and form woven bone. This then is replaced by lamellae of mature compact bone
37
What is the layer that surrounds bones
Periosteum
38
What is the layer that surrounds cartilage
Perichondrium
39
How is an osteoclast histologically recognisable?
Large in comparison to OB/OC | Multiple Nuclei
40
Which bone formation process form osteons.
Both. | The histological structure will eventually look the same from both processes
41
Long bones are made up of two types of bone?
Compact/Cortical | Cancellous/Spongy
42
Compact bones are made up of ______ (unit of bone)
Osteons
43
Osteon Anatomy! What is the name of the cap in the middle of an osteon?
Haversian Canal
44
What is the name of the outer membrane of the compact bone?
Periosteum
45
What is the name of the inner membrane of the compact bone?
Endosteum
46
Osteon Anatomy! What is the name of the "tree rings" in the osteon?
Lamellae of bone
47
How can you tell the difference between mature and immature bone?
Osteons, Regular order in Mature.
48
How does a trapped OC communicate/ get nutrients?
They have cytoplasmic processes which reach out to other OCs and HC via canaliculi
49
How does cancellous bone compare to that of compact?
No Haversian or Volkmann’s canals
50
How do osteoclasts remodel bone? 2
H+ ions and lysosomal enzymes
51
Fracture repair
1) Hematoma (granulation tissue) 2) Fibrocartilagenous callus formation. GT->FCC 3) Bony callus formation 4) Bone remodelling
52
list the most common risk factors for osteoporosis. 4
``` Genetic Not enough calcium intake Poor Ca absorption Reduced exercise Smoking ```
53
What is Osteoporosis?
A metabolic bone disease in which mineralized bone | is decreased in mass to the point that it no longer provides adequate mechanical support.
54
What is Osteoporosis? Explain in terms of osteo-cells
Osteoclasts break down the bone | Normally osteoblasts add new bone but in osteoporosis this does not occur
55
What are the two types of Osteoporosis
Type 1 - occurs in postmenopausal women. Increase in OClast, Oestrogen down Type 2- Both sexes. 70+ due to reduced osteoblast function
56
Whats Osteomalacia?
Osteomalacia refers to a softening of your bones, often caused by a vitamin D deficiency. OM - not enough normal bone. OP - reduced density
57
In an intervertebral disc what are the two areas?
Inner - nucleus pulposus | Outer - annulus fibrosis (consisting of cartilage)
58
Which cartilage forms rows of cells?
Fibrocartilage
