What are osteoids?

24
Q

What are hydroxyapatites?

Study These Flashcards
A

The inorganic component of the matrix that produces mineral salts that calcify/harden it

25
Give an example of a hydroxyapatite.
Tricalcium phosphate
26
All other inorganic components of the bone matrix, such as magnesium hydroxide, fluoride, and sulfate, are responsible for { } and { }.
1) Hardness 2) Strength
27
What are the 6 functions of the skeletal system?
1) Support 2) Protection 3) Movement 4) Mineral storage 5) Blood cell formation (red marrow) 6) Energy storage (yellow marrow)
28
The scientific term for blood cell formation.
What is hematopoiesis?
29
Intramembranous ossification occurs in { } bones.
Flat
30
What structure does intramembranous ossification not involve?
Cartilage
31
What are the 4 steps of intramembranous ossification?
1) Osteogenic cells > osteoblasts 2) Osteoblasts secrete osteoid/matrix 3) Osteoblasts > osteocytes 4) Outer layer - periosteum & compact bone, Inner layer - spongy bone
32
When does intramembranous ossification occur in vitro?
5 weeks
33
In endochondral ossification, most bones use { } for patterns.
Hyaline cartilage
34
What are the 4 steps of endochondral ossification?
1) Chondroblast formation 2) Primary ossification 3) Medullary cavity formation 4) Secondary ossification
35
In chondroblast formation, { } cells differentiate into { }, which become { }.
1) Stem 2) Chondroblasts 3) Chondrocytes
36
Connective tissue that develops around the cartilage.
What is perichondrium?
37
Primary ossification involves the { } of cartilage to make room for { } & { }.
1) Calcification 2) Blood vessels 3) Bone cells
38
The primary ossification center occurs { } from the { } surface.
1) Inward 2) Bone
39
Medullary cavity formation involves the { } of { } bone via { }.
1) Removal 2) Spongy 3) Osteoclasts
40
In secondary ossification, { } migrate from the { } towards the { }.
1) Osteoblasts 2) Diaphysis 3) Epiphyses
41
The hardening of cartilage during secondary ossification is referred to as...
Calcification
42
Which 2 major structures are formed during secondary ossification?
Osteoid and osteocytes
43
After secondary ossification, hyaline cartilage remains as these 2 forms.
What are articular cartilage & epiphyseal plates?
44
Interstitial growth is also referred to as...
Longitudinal growth
45
How does bone lengthening work?
Chondrocytes at the top of the epiphyseal plate divides, while the old cartilage underneath hardens and gets invaded by osteoblasts
46
What 3 types of hormones inhibit bone lengthening?
1) Growth hormones 2) Thyroid hormones 3) Sex hormones
47
Appositional growth is also referred to as...
Bone widening
48
What is the roles of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in appositional growth?
Osteoblasts - form new osteons along the outer surface of the diaphysis Osteoclasts - reabsorb inner bone layers
49
Describe how PTH hormonally raises blood calcium.
When blood calcium is low, osteoclasts reabsorb bone and move calcium to the blood
50
Describe how calcitonin lowers blood calcium.
Reducing bone reabsorption, increasing calcium deposits in the matrix, and, thus, decreasing blood calcium
51
What are the 4 steps of bone repair?
1) Hematoma formation 2) Procallus formation 3) Osseous callus formation 4) Remodeling
52
What is the general mechanism behind osteoporosis?
Bone reabsorption > bone deposit
53
Why do smoking and menopause contribute to osteoporosis?
Smoking - reduced estrogen Menopause - a lack of estrogen = nothing to stop PTH, which encourages bone resorption
54
How do drugs like Boniva treat osteoporosis?
Suppressing osteoclast activity
55
How does vitamin D help treat osteomalacia and rickets?
It provides calcium that hardens the matrix
