Q

why do men have a greater bone density?

A
  • more muscle mass, put out more androgens to get more dense bone
  • more obvious ridges so when muscle attaches to bone the bone can support and respond to it

Q

losing bone density - teeth

A

if you lose teeth - there will be no stimulus on the alveolar process so you will lose bone density
- this is why they give you pegs with a fake tooth so you are still getting the stimulus and not losing bone density

Q

sesamoid bone

A

patella
takes pressure off of a joint to avoid rubbing against the bone
pushing it up gives more of a fulcrum action- adds strength
- most people have 5 in hand
- 2 big ones at metatarsal joint in big toe

spicules join in random loose ____
trabeculae
34
first bone you put down to heal a fracture

35
appositional growth
growth of bone by fusion of additional spicules

cancellous and compact bone identical to that of the endochondral bone
37

periosteum
38
forms in cavities of cancellous bone
marrow
39

40
derived from osteoblasts line both the inner and outer surface of bone that is not being remodeled - there incase an injury happens (reserve cells incase of a major fracture)

41
connective tissue membrane exists between the flat bone of skull forming____
fontanelles
42

45
where is anterior lateral?
sphenoid
46
where is posterior lateral fontanelle?
mastoid
47
what can an infection do to fontanelles?

48
when does the hyaline cartilage model begin?

49
endochondral ossification: mesenchymal cells are targeted by ___ and ____
BMP | fibroblast growth factors (FGF)
50
endochondral ossification: transcription factors activated resulting in differentiation of cells into _____
chondroblasts
51
endochondral ossification: what do chondroblasts secrete?
type II collagen and matrix
52
endochondral ossification: interstitial growth
the cartilage matrix binds large amounts of water increasing the size/area - mitosis of chondroblasts also increases growth internally
53
endochondral ossification: appositional growth
connection to adjacent cartilage growth
54
endochondral ossification: mesenchyme around the hyaline cartilage becomes the _____
perichondrium
55
can you ossify matrix with type 2 collagen?
no - it is the wrong type of collagen so you need to replace it with bone, however you need cartilage first
56
what is the ground substance for cartilage?
chondroitin sulfate
57
hyaline cartilage
weakest out of all cartilages - least densely packed
58
endochondral ossification begins between _____ and continues to adult years _____
7-11 weeks | 18-20 years
59
bone vs cartilage - which is vascular and avascular
bone - vascular | cartilage - avascular
60
where is the primary ossification site?
diaphysis - shaft of the bone
61
any site after a primary site is what?
secondary
62
diaphysis
goes out from the middle
63
epiphysis
secondary site starts here | goes to the middle
64
endochondral ossification: mesenchymal cells remaining in perichondrium respond to ____ and differentiate into ____
BMP signals | osteoblasts
65
osteoblasts set down a _____ around the _____ | primary ossification site
bone collar | diaphysis
66
underlying chondrocytes enlarge; cartilage matrix reabsorbed; what cells produce alkaline phosphatase? - what occurs?
hypertrophic cells | mineralization
67
hypertrophic cells die leaving a ____
cavity
68
what happens to the cavity formed by dying hypertrophic cells?
blood vessel infiltration of the cavity
69
calcified cartilage matrix is removed, _____ is set down, ______ is formed
osteoid matrix | medullary cavity
70
epiphyseal plate: structure
at the top: active cartilage - lacuna hyaline cartilage middle: attack is being made on the cartilage bone collar comes up sides - cells starting to hypertrophy - stressed matrix disappearing big open cavities in white- cartilage dies so bone can take over bottom: bone marrow with tribeculae - cancellous bone
71
Application: Background On Signaling: why does the application of BMP in procedures like bone grafting and extraction socket healing may prove beneficial?
- it is going to cause growth - adding growth factors and nutrients for it to heal quicker and more efficiently - stimulating fibroblasts, epithelial, faster bone growth - bone graft: better chance for it to take and be more stable

73
bone morphogenic proteins (BMP)
- belong to group of signaling molecules signaling cells not differentiated into bone producing cells - important in embryogenesis, development, adult homeostasis
74
hydroxyapatite
extremely dense - no diffusion through it - need channels for blood supply to get in
75
osteon
unit of bone | - has central canal that can be haversian canal also - bone is highly vascular
76
concentric lamella
around haversian canal - do exchange through canaliculi and lacunae
77
circumfrential lamella
large layers that completely wrap bone on outside
78
interstitial lamella
remnants of remodeling bone | - change in osteon: some cells left outside concentric rings
79
perforating vessels - Volkmann's canal
blood supply linked between 2 osteons | - if damage you can still get nutrients through another - cross flow
80
factors affecting bone growth (7)
- sex hormones - growth hormones - calcitonin - parathyroid hormone - calcitriol (vitamin D3) - vitamin C - vitamin A
81
sex hormones
stimulate bone formation (osteoblasts)
82
growth hormones
stimulate chondroblasts
83
calcitonin
inhibits osteoclasts | - increases excretion of calcium
84
parathyroid hormone
stimulates proliferation of osteoclasts
85
calcitriol (vitamin D3)
steroid hormone that increases absorption of calcium in intestinal tract
86
vitamin C
required for collagen synthesis
87
vitamin A
- in balance - norm levels stimulate osteoblasts - high levels stimulate osteoclasts
88
what 2 factors that effect growth work in oppostion to eachother?
calcitonin and parathyroid
89
decrease in mineral density | - precursor to osteoporosis
osteopenia
90
bone density decreases to point of point of a fracture risk
osteoporosis
91
measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) reported as T score
+1 to -1: normal based on 30yr old - 1 to -2.5: osteopenia - 2.5 and lower: osteoporosis
92
application: hormone irregularities - what id prior to puberty vs after puberty starting to see growth plates closing? - what would be diff in appearance?
before puberty: tall people bc hitting all cartilage - giantism after puberty: growth plates closed already - acromegaly usually from benign tumor -
