Chapter 5 - Bone Flashcards
(34 cards)
4 main fxn’s of bone
- Structural support
- Serve as levers for muscles/ locomotion
- Protect organs and house bone marrow
- Metabolic reserve for minerals
Inorganic matrix of bone is composed of…
- Hydroxyapatite crystals
- Calcium phosphate
- Other minerals
Inorganic matrix comprises ___ % of bone?
65%
Organic matrix of bone is composed of…
- Collagen I (~80-90%)
- Sulfated & Non-sulfated (HA) GAG’s
- Glycoproteins
Sulfated GAG’s in bone are primarily…
Chondroitin and keratin sulfates
Does organic matrix of bone have H2O?
small amts due to HA (non-sulfated GAG)
Glycoproteins =
proteins that bind minerals to collagen
collagen in bone is ______ organized?
highly
Children have a _____ % of organic martix
higher
What contributes to the increase in flexibility of children’s bone?
Higher % of organic matrix
Increase flexibility of a child’s bones makes them more prone to ______ fractures
Greenstick
Children’s bony matrix is organized _____ than adult’s
more randomly
As maturity increases, matrix uniformity _____ , therefore stability _____
uniformity increases
stability increases
Osteoprogenitor cells =
osteogenic cells
Osteoprogenitor cells appear
flat
Osteoprogenitor cells located in
Endosteum and Periosteum
Osteoprogenitor cells derived from
1) Mesenchyme cells (usually)
2) Chondrogenic cells (possibly)
Osteoprogenitor cells fxn
to change into bone cells (specifically, osteoblasts)
Osteoprogenitor cells undergo Mitosis?
YES
Osteoblast appearance
cuboid to columnar
Osteoblast location
Endothelium and Periosteum
Osteoblast derived from
osteoprogenitor cells
Osteoblast fxns
1) Produce osteoid original matrix
2) Produce an an anti-inhibitor that neutralizes CIF
3) Respond to PTH
Describe osteoblast response to PTH
1) Produce a factor (OPGL) that causes the creation of more osteoclasts
2) Produce osteoclast stimulating factor
3) Produce enzymes to condition bone surface for osteoclasts
