Q

What r osteocytes?

A

Slim dystopias mic processes thT connect to adjacent osteocytes in a canaliculus to transport nutrients via gap junctions

Q

Process of bone synthesis?

A

Osteoblasts fork osteoid

Osteoblasts surrounded by osteoid forms osteocytes

Q

Remodelling bone?

A

Osteoclasts - multinucleated monocytes release H+ and lysosomal enzymes to absorb bone producing a cutting cone.
Osteoblasts forms new osteons

Q

Content of bone matrix?

A
65% inorganic minerals
Calcium hydroxyapatite crystals of calcium phosphate and carbonate. Hence hard and rigid
10% water
23% type 1 collagen hence flexibility
2% non-collagen proteins

Q

Talk about calcium and bone?

A

Calcium require for muscle contraction, blood clotting, nerves, cell membrane permeability and controlled by parathyroid which releases PTH which triggers osteoclasts to digest bone hence release calcium into the blood.
If too much calcium in blood, calcitonin inhibits osteocytes and decreases bone absorption

Q

What is endochondral ossification?

A

Cartilage becomes bone. This occurs in long bones
Cartilage reabsorbed and replaced by bone.
Begins at primary centre in the diaphysis shaft and then at each end. Secondary centre is the epiphysis.
Growth occurs at the epiphyte all growth plates to extend length

Q

What is intermembraneous ossification?

A

Loose CT / mesenchyme becomes bone - flat
highly vascularised loose CT
Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts surrounded by collagen fibres and GS
Cells secrete uncalcified matrix osteoids and become osteocytes

Q

What’s a fracture?

A

Bone breaking means blood vessels and periosteum breaks, bone matrix destroyed and bone at fracture site becomes necrotic and die.

Q

Bone repair?

A
  1. Heamatom formation - swelling and blood clot. Macrophages remove dead tissue and osteoclasts remove dead bone
  2. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation - new blood vessels, inflammatory cells invade forming pre-callus bridging fracture containing haematoma and fibrous tissue. Collagen formed over fracture by fibroblasts. Chondroblast gives rise to hyaline cartilage sleeve. Central osteoblasts invade fracture and reconstruct bone forming spongey bone
  3. Bony callus - osteocallus of primary bone then calcified to secondary
  4. Bone pulled and pressured to match surrounding bone to form mature bone
  5. As callus forming, step last of periosteum lay down sleeve of bone. Periosteal buds invade callus to form spongey and replace cartilage similar to endochondral ossification. Spongey the. Forms compact bone.
  6. Bone heals without scar.
  7. New bone is wider, hence remodelling restores right size and shape.

Q

What is the process that increases diameter of bone?

A

Periosteal ossification. The periphery region of shaft have increased deposition of bone
