Osteoprogenitor cells
-Stem cells which in the adult are described as bone lining cells -In the adult they are found in the inner portion of the endosteum, and lining vascular canals of compact bone -These cells are derived from mesenchyme of the embryonic somite and possess mitotic potential -Osteoprogenitor cells give rise to osteoblasts and bone lining cells
26
Osteoclasts cells are derived from
The monocytes lineage, which in turn, is derived from the monocyte precursors in bone marrow
27
Osteoblasts and regulating osteoclasts
-osteoprotegerin binds to RANKL w/ greater affinity than RANK This inhibits maturation of osteoclasts Parathyroid hormone blocks the synthesis of osteoprotegerin
28
Osteoclasts function
2 major products secreted via osteoclasts are involved in bone reabsorption: Cathepsin K (involved in bone rendering and resorption that catablize organic matrix) and H+ Cl- ions (dissolve the inorganic matrix)
29
Steps of Intramembranous Bone Formation
*Mesenchymal to bone 1. Aggregation of Mesenchymal cells: Mesenchymal cells -> osteoblasts. Osteoblasts secrete osteoid, trappings some of the osteoblasts =blastema 2. Trapped osteoblasts -> osteocytes. Mineralization occurs via calcium 3. Osteoblasts form an epithelial-like covering over the surface of primary bone tissue & can secrete more osteoid on the surface 4. Primary ossification center becomes a trabecula. Numerous trabeculae fuse together to form spongy bone 5. Initial bone is woven bone: collagen fibers are arranged randomly 6. Lamellae may become symmetrically arranged around a blood vessel forming an osteon (Haversian system) 7. Membrane bone usually consists of two layers of compact bone enclosing a layer of spongy bone (diploe)
30
Steps of Endochondral Bone Formation
*Mesenchymal -> cartilage -> bone 1. Primary ossification center occurs in future diaphysis of cartilage model. Chondrocytes become hypertrophic (they grow really big). Chondrocytes secrete vascular endothelial growth factor 2. Blood vessels break thru perichondrium, bringing in osteoprogenitor cells. Hypertrophic cartilage cells undergo apoptosis, leaving behind thin strands of calcified matrix 3. Osteoblasts use calcified strands as substrates for deposition of osteoid. Osteoid is calcified 4. Simultaneously, cells derived from initial perichondrium begin to secrete osteoid appositionally. Perichondrium now = periosteum 5. Secondary ossification centers occur in the epiphyses . Epiphyses and diaphyses are separated initially by epiphyseal plates (growth plates)-zones of epiphyseal plate
