Chapter 8 - Bone Flashcards
(99 cards)
How do bone cells develop?
MSC > osteoprogenetors > osteoblast make matrix > encased in matrix and mineralization = osteocyte
What causes the differentiation from chondrocytes to osteocytes?
An increase in O2
What is bone made of?
Osteocytes
Type I and V collogen
Little ECM/group dubstant
What functions does bone provide?
Support
Protection of internal organs
Produces hormones: parathyroid and calcitonin
Does bone get high or low diffusion of nutrients? Why?
Low diffusion because it has very little ground substance
What two types of mulitadhesive glycoproteins are found in bone? What are their functions?
- Osteonectin - adhesive bewtwwen collagen and hydroxyapatite crystals
- Osteopontin - attaches cells to bone matrix
What fibers so you find in bone? What are their functions?
Type I collagen - structure
Type V collagen - support
Traces of other collagens
What GAGs and Proteoglycans can you find in bone? What do they contribute to?
Hyaluronan Chondroitin sulfate
Keratin sulfate
All contribute to compressive strength
What are canaliculi?
Rays extending from osteocytes toward the center of the osteon
Tunnels between adajent osteocytes
Connect by gap junctions
What are the 4 bone associated cell types?
- Osteoprogenitor cells
- Osteoblasts
- Bone-lining cells (remain when bone isn’t growing)
- Osteoclasts
What are the two types of bone tissue?
- Compact (dense)
- Spongy (cancellous)
What are the 4 types of bone?
- Long bone
- Short bone
- Flat bone (ex skull, sternum)
- Irregular (vertebrae)
Characteristics of compact bone?
Highly organized , dense
What are the holes in spongy tissue filled with?
Marrow
What are the three regions of the long bone?
- Epiphysis - on either end, spongy bone
- Metaphysis - where flairing occurs. Contains epiphysial plate
- Diaphysis - shaft, dense bone
What surrounds the entire bone execept on the very ends?
Periosteum
What is the periosteum?
outer layer: dense fibrous CT
inner layer: osteogenic layer
What is the endosteum?
Lines compact bone facing marrow cavity and trabeculae (plates?) of spongy bone
Houses osteoprogenitor cells
What does the marrow cavity consist of?
Blood cells and netowk of fibers
Red marrow vs yellow marrow
Red marrow is found in kid, more hematopoietic cells and RBC
Yellow marrow is found in adults, more adipose tissue
Osteon
Concentric lamallae that surround the haversian canal
Canaliculi
Passage for substances between osteocytes and blood vessels also tunnels connecting osteocytes
Interstitial Lamellae
Result from bone remodeling
Volkman’s canals
connect perioteal and endosteal surfaces to the haversian canal (middle of the osteon)
