Q

Describe the functions of the periosteum.

A

The periosteum is a connective tissue that supports bone health and development. The thin tissue has two layers that function in different ways. The outer layer, known as the fibrous periosteum, allows for attachment of muscle tissue to the bone and provides pathways for blood and lymphatic tissues.

Q

osteogenesis

A

Animal growth and development is characterized by cell movement, e.g. osteogenesis

• Osteoblasts secrete proteins, including more collagen fibers for the matrix

– Gives bone tissue its strength and flexibility

– Osteoblasts become osteocytes as they age

Q

Osteogenesis follows this basic pattern of development:

A

Osteogenesis follows this basic pattern of development:

  • mesoderm layer of cells is created in the embryo
  • some mesoderm cells migrate (becoming mesenchyme)
  • some mesenchyme cells specialize into osteoblasts
  • osteoblasts secrete matrix (becoming osteocytes)
  • e.g. pouring reinforced concrete – casting the negative space

Q

How is bone tissue formed in
these 2 arrangements?
(Compact & Spongy)

A

OSTEOGENESIS

Common to both types of bone formation:

a) A connective tissue pattern (model) is formed, which is subsequently ossified by osteoblasts.
b) Osteoblasts develop from mesenchyme and produce a matrix,becoming osteocytes trapped in lacunae of the matrix:

1) organic = “osteoid”
2) inorganic = “calcium hydroxyapatitie”

c) A thin layer of compact bone surrounds areas of spongy bone.

62
Connective Tissues
Cells rarely touch due to usually large amount ofintercellular material (extracellular matrix) • Matrix (fibers & ground substance) secreted by cells – Consistency varies: liquid, gel, or solid • Function is to support, connect, protect and insulate• Good nerve & blood supply except cartilage & tendons
63
Collagen Elastin
• Collagen (25% of protein in your body) – tough, resistant to pull, yet pliable * Elastin (lungs, blood vessels, ear cartilage) * Reticular (spleen and lymph nodes) – thin, branched fibers that form frameworkwithin organs – formed from protein collagen • smaller diameter fibers formed from proteinelastin surrounded by glycoprotein (fibrillin)• can stretch up to 150% of relaxed length andreturn to original shape
