Q

Bone classification

A

1.LONG BONES
Longer than wide. Formed from compact bone with spongy bone in the center and at the end long shaft. E.g. tibia

  1. FLAT BONES
    Flat and thin, slightly curved, 2 thin layers of compact bone surrounding a thin layer of spongy bone e.g. skull, ribs
  2. IRREGULAR BONE
    Bones that don’t fit into any other category. Made from spongy bone covered with compact bone. E.g. vertebrae and pelvis
  3. SHORT BONE
    Cuboidal and contain mainly spongy bone with a surface layer if compact bone

SEASAMOID bones are types of short bones that are found where there’s lots of friction/ tension e.g. within the patella, modify and reduce pressure in joints

Q

2 types of bone marrow

A

RED marrow : produces red and white blood cells and platelets
YELLOW marrow: contains fat and connective tissue and produces some white blood cells
At birth, there is only red bone marrow present and as the person grows the red marrow in many of the bones is replaced by yellow. Increase in a haemopoetic stimulant that regulates red cell mitosis and differentiation, reducing with age.

Q

Compact/cortical bone

A

outer layer of all bones,
provides support and protection to the spongy bone in center and resists the stresses produced by weight and movement.
Formed of collagen. Organized into osteons/ harversian systems

In the center of the haversian system there’s a central canal (haversian canal) running through the bone LONGITUDINALLY. Blood and lymph vessels and nerves run in these central canals. Around the canal the bone is arranged into concentric layers (lamellae)

Q

Spongey/cancellous/trabecular bone

A

Does not contain true osteons and consists of lamellae arranged in an irregular lattice of thin interconnecting struts ( trabeculae)
Spaces between trabeculae are filled with red and yellow bone marrow
Within each trabecula osteocytes lie in lacunae with radiating canaliculi, like in osteons of compact bone
Osteocytes receive nutrients directly from the blood circulating through the medullary cavity

Trabeculae along the lines of stress, helps bone resist stresses and transfer the force without breaking

25
Where is spongy bone found
Makes up majority of bony tissue in short, flat, irregularly shaped bones and the epiphysis of the long bones, and lines the medullary cavity of diaphysis of the long bones
26
Blood supply to bone
From periosteum into the interior of the bone Bone marrow Periosteal arteries Enter diaphysis through perforating volkmann canals Supply the periosteum and the compact bone Large nutrient artery that passes obliquely through the compant bone through a hole- nutrient foramen When the nutrient artery reaches the medullary cavity it divides into proximal and distal branches, supplying the inner layers of compact bone and spongey bone ends are supplied by metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries
27
Nervous supply
Accompany the blood vessels of the bone Periosteum has a rich supply of sensory nerves, some of which transmit pain sensations
28
Bone development/formation ( ossification)
Intramembranous - direct ossification of mesenchymal cells Endochondral - replacement of hyaline cartildige with bone tissue
29
Endochondral ossification
Hyaline cartilage forms an initial model of the future bone from mesenchymal cells that differentiate into chondroblasts Once hyaline model has formed, osteoblasts gradually replace the cartildige with bone matrix, which is then ossified. LONG BONES in arms and legs
30
Intramembranous ossification
FLAT BONES of the skull, clavicle and scapula Bone forms directly condensed mesenchymal cells without first going through a cartilage step
31
Bone growth
WIDTH - appositional | Length - endochondral
32
Endochondral growth
Requires intestitial growth from cartilage first Occurs at epiphysial growth plates Stops when growth plates ossify
33
Appositional growth
Osteoblasts in periosteum secrete matrix and become trapped as osteocytes Osteoclasts increase diameter of medullary cavity Increases diameter of bones until skeletal maturity
34
Bone remodelling- new bone
WOVEN BONE Osteoblasts lay down bone and osteoblasts remove bone
35
Mature bone - bone remodelling
Old bone is constantly being replaced by new bone
36
Factors affecting bone growth and remodelling
``` Mechanical factors Genes Hormones Aging Diseases Diet ```
37
Mechanical factors affecting bone growth and remodelling
More stress increases osteoblast activity = more bone | Less stress decreases osteoblast activity= less bone
38
Gene factors affecting bone growth and remodelling
Determines potential size and shape Height and bone mass is multifactorial ( many genes involved and other factors) Genes influence: Growth hormone release Hormone receptors on bone cells Ability to absorb nutrients ( e.g. calcium ) from the gut
39
Hormones - bone growth and remodelling
Growth, sex and thyroid hormones influence cell differentiation and metabolism
40
Ageing - bone growth and remodelling
Osteoblast matrix production slows in comparison to osteoclast matrix resorption Decreased collagen deposition results in more BRITTLE bone ( less flexible strength ) Bone mass peaks at 25-30 years and then falls
41
Diseases- bone growth and remodelling
Bone mass is reduced particularly in women after menopause ( decreased oestrogen production ) Smoking, extreme exercise, anorexia and removal of ovaries also reduce estrogen levels Cancellous bone is most affected as its severely weakened if connections are lost
42
Cartilage
More elastic than bone Cartilage is a resilient and smooth elastic tissue, rubber-like padding that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints and nerves Forms a semi rigid part of the skeleton and a protective layer at many joint surfaces
43
2 types of cartilidge cells
CHONDROBLASTS- secrete extracellular matrix of Cartlidge, composed of collagen fibers, elastic fibers and other proteinaceous components. CHONDROCYTES- mature Cartlidge cells located in spaces called lacunae. Derived from chondroblasts that have become trapped within extracellular matrix
44
Does cartilidge have blood vessels
NO -all metabolites exchanged by diffusion
45
Types of cartilidge
Hyaline White fibrocartilidge Elastic yellow cartilidge
46
Hyaline cartilidge
Covers the ends of synovial joints, glassy, connects the ribs to the sternum, forms the larynx, and part of the nose and reinforces trachea and bronchi
47
White fibrocartilidge
Less matrix and more collagen than other cartilidge, makes it more compressible and able to resist high pressures. Found in areas of high stress
48
Elastic yellow cartilidge
External ear and throat epiglottis)
49
Growth and development of cartilidge - appositional
Chondroblasts
50
Growth and development of cartilidge- intestitial
Chondrocytes
51
Perichondrium | Outer and inner layer
the connective tissue that envelops cartilage where it is not at a joint Outer layer - dense irregular CT with fibroblasts Inner layer- fewer fibers with chondrocytes
52
Articular cartilidge
Type of hyaline cartildige On articular surfaces of bones No perichondrium ( membrane
53
Growth of articular cartildge
Similar to growth plate Columns of cells – calcified Cartlidge- bone Type 2 collagen fibrils anchor proteoglycan matrix to bone Growth plate stops at a similar time to growth plate but never ossifies
54
function of articular cartilidge
Smooth – reduces friction ( heat causes protein damage ) | Deformable and elastic which distributes the load evenly
55
factors affecting cartilidge metabolism
mechanical factors Injury Aging Disease
56
Mechanical factors influencing cartilage
Anabolic and catabolic processes adjust to adapt matrix to mechanical demands Load below 1mPa may be catabolic wheras load above may be anabolic stimulus HIGH strain = matrix deposition = increased stiffness Low strain = matrix resorption - reducedstiffness
57
Injury and repair - influencing cartilidge
Lack capillaries within cartildge Nutrients from diffusion ( synovium not bone ) Chondrocytes do not normally divide in adult but still secrete matrix ( repairs normal wear ) Tears/ lesions never fully heal
58
Ageing and diseases- influencing cartilidge
Decreased proteoglycan and collagen turnover Collagen disruption, PG’s lost, water lost on compression, tissue damage Increased non enzymatic glycation ( NEG) Impaired joint lubrication - Friction/ heat - Fibrillation - Osteoarthiritis
59
Osteoporosis
reduction in mass of bones deficiency of vitamin D
60
Ostemalacia
Softening of bones deficiency of calcium and phosphorus
