Disease of Bone Development (Handy Pants) Flashcards
(101 cards)
What are bones made up of?
65% Inorganic: calcium hydroxyapatite
35% Organic: collagen
What gives bone its strength/hardness? structure?
strength/hardness = calcium hydroxyapatite
structure = collagen
bone that has not mineralized
osteoid
How long does it take to mineralize bone
12 - 15 days
puripotential mesenchymal stem cells
osteoprogenitor cells
CBFA-1
stimulates osteoprogenitor cells to become osteoblasts
What cells form bone?
osteoblasts
What cells reabsorb remodel bone?
osteoclasts
What cells sense mechanical stress and regulate serum calcium and phosphorus?
osteocytes
What is osteoid made of? What makes osteoid?
type I collagen
Osteoblasts
Multinucleated bone cell
osteoclast
Cells have PTH receptors to mediate osteoclast activity
osteoblast
cells that are encased in bone
osteocytes
canaliculi
contain osteocytic cell processes to allow osteocytes to communicate
howship lacunae
resorption pit containing osteoclast
osteoblasts that are surrounded by matrix =
osteocyte
What cells initiate mineralization
osteoblasts

ostoclast

osteoblast

osteocyte
Osteoclasts are derived from the same stem cells that produce _______.
macrophages
i.e. both from mesenchymal stem cells
Describe the interactions needed for osteoclast differentiation
RANK ligand on osteoblast membrane assc with RANK receptor on osteoclast precursor cell surface
\+
M-CSF binds M-CSF receptor on osteoclast precursor cell surface
Osteoprotegerin (OPG)
secreted by stromal cells/osteoblasts to prevent the binding of RANK ligand to the RANK receptor –> inhibits osteoclast differentiation and therefore bone reabsorption
What other cytokines are needed for osteoclast differentiation?
IL-1, 3, 6, 11
GM-CSF and M-CSF
