Examples of flat bones

scapula, cranial bones (except temporal), sternum, pelvis, ribs

Osteoclasts are used as target cells in ________

osteoporosis

Epiphyseal plate histology

(superior to inferior) 1. Zone of calcified cartilage 2. Zone of hypertrophic cartilage 3. Zone of proliferating cartilage 4. Zone of resting cartilage

Periosteum

- attachment point for ligaments and tendons on long bones - lines medullary cavity externally - contains blood vessels and takes nutrients to osteocytes

Osteoblasts characteristics

- bone Building cells (blast for building) - synthesize and secrete collagen fibers (secrete extracellular matrix) - transform into osteocytes after being trapped by calcification

Osteoprogenitor cells characteristics

- bone stem cells (originate from mesenchymal cells that form most of conn. tissue) - only bone cell that undergoes cell division - become osteoblasts

Two types of bone formation and basic definitions

- both involve replacement of pre-existing connective tissue with bone 1. Intramembranous ossification - bone forms directly within condensed mesenchyme - arranged in sheetlike layers that resemble membranes 2. Endochondral ossification - bone forms within hyaline cartilage that develops from mesenchyme

Mineral storage and release

- calcium (99% in bone) - phosphorus - contribute to bone strength - when needed, minerals are pulled from bone tissue into bloodstream and get distributed

Mineral salts present in ECM of bone tissue

- calcium phosphate (most abundant) - ^ + calcium hydroxide = hydroxyapatite (crystals)

Histology of Bone Tissue

- cells are surrounded by abundant extracellular matrix - 15% water - 30% collagen fibers - 55% crystalized mineral salts

How do applied stresses relate to compact bone tissue?

- compact bone tissue tends to be thickest in parts of bone where stresses are applied - lines of stress can change as a result of strenuous activities

Blood cell production (hemopoiesis/hematopoiesis)

- connective tissue (red bone marrow) produces red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets

Trabeculae of spongy bone characteristics

- form network of spiky bones that gives bone structure and makes it weigh less - important for epiphysis of long bones - organized along stress lines

Development of primary ossification center (E.O.) in detail

- forms from outside inward 1. nutrient artery enters perichondrium and calcifying cartilage through the neural foramen (hole) 2. stimulates osteoprogenitor cells in perichondrium to differentiate into osteoblasts 3. perichondrium starts to form bone -> periosteum 4. (mid-region) periosteum capillaries grow into disintegrating calcified cartilage inducing growth of center 5. osteoblasts deposit bone ECM over calcified cartilage making spongy bone trabeculae 6. primary oss. center spreads from center to both ends of cartilage model (now inside out)

Development of periosteum (I.O.) in detail

- from mesenchyme present on outer spongy bone (thin outermost layer) - transformation of outer spongy bone into thin compact bone on both sides

What is an osteon? Describe main structural components.

- functional unit of compact bone - has concentric lamellae arranged around a central canal that contains a small network of blood vessels and nerves

Sulcus: definition and example

- furrow along bone surface that accommodates a blood vessel, nerve, or tendon - intertubercular sulcus of the humerus (passageway for long head of biceps brachii tendon) - on top of bone

appositional/exogenous growth

- growth from outer surface - increases thickness - deposition of extracellular matrix to periphery

interstitial/endogenous growth of cartilage

- growth from within - increases length - chondrocytes divide and secrete new matrix

Osteoclasts characteristics

- huge cell derived from fusion of monocytes - has several nuclei - concentrated in endosteum - ruffled border (enzymes dissolve ECM) - bone resorption - helps regulate blood calcium level in response to certain hormones

Articular cartilage

- hyaline cartilage covering ends of long bones where they articulate - contains no blood vessels so is affected by wear and tear; harder to repair damage

Formation of articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate (E.O.) in detail

- hyaline cartilage present in outer epiphysis and in-between epiphysis and diaphysis 1. outer cartilage transforms into articular cartilage 2. cartilage between epiphysis and diaphysis forms epiphyseal plate

Chondroblasts characteristics

- immature cartilage cells - found near perichondrium - produce components of extracellular matrix - involved in appositional growth of cartilage

function of ruffled border in osteoclasts

- increases surface area - faces inner part of bone in contact w/ ECM - releases powerful lysosomal enzymes and acids that digest protein and mineral components of extracellular matrix

Osteoprogenitor cell location

- inner portion of periosteum - endosteum - canals of bone that contain blood vessels

Medullary cavity

- inside shaft of long bones (diaphysis) - contains yellow bone marrow

Condyle: definition and example

- large, round protuberance with a smooth articular surface (to avoid friction when articulating) at the end of a bone - lateral condyle of the femur; occipital condyle (rests on top of first vertebra)

Endosteum

- lines medullary cavity of long bones internally

Line: definition and example

- long, narrow ridge or border (less prominent than crest) - linea aspera of femur (attaches adductors)

Osteocytes characteristics

- mature bone cells - main cells in bone tissue - maintain daily metabolism (exchange of nutrients and wastes with the blood) - do not undergo cell division

Chondrocytes characteristics

- mature cartilage cells - secrete and are embedded within extracellular matrix - maintain and nourish cartilage - involved in interstitial growth of cartilage

Assistance in movement

- muscles contract - pull of bone to produce movement by tendons

Fissure: definition and example

- narrow slit between adjacent parts of bones where blood vessels or nerves pass - superior/inferior orbital fissures of the sphenoid bone; carotid canal

Function of collagen fibers secreted from osteoblasts

- needed to build ECM of bone tissue - initiates calcification

Spongy bone differs from compact bone...

- not organized into osteons - no functional units - no central canals (have many thin spaces = spongy)

Foramen: definition and example

- opening where blood vessels, nerves, or ligaments pass - optic foramen (canal) of the sphenoid bone (optic nerve passes through); foramen ovale; foramen spinosum

Main components of compact bone

- osteon - lamellae - osteonic canal - canaliculi - lacunae

Orientation of osteons and purpose?

- osteons are aligned in the same direction and are parallel to length of diaphysis - shaft of long bone is able to resist bending and fracturing when considerable force is applied from either end of the bone

Development of medullary cavity (E.O.) in detail

- primary oss. center grows to ends of bone inside up 1. osteoclasts will start to breakdown some of newly formed spongy bone trabeculae and forms a cavity 2. cavity forms inside diaphysis - most of diaphysis wall will be replaced by compact bone

Development of cartilage model (E.O.) in detail

1. in diaphysis, mesenchymal cells will relieve chemical messengers making them crowd together in general shape of future bone 2. mesenchymal cells develop into chondroblasts 3. chondroblasts secrete cartilage ECM producing cartilage model (present in future diaphysis consisting of hyaline cartilage) 4. perichondrium wraps around cartilage model (made of mesenchyme)

Development of secondary ossification centers (E.O.) in detail

1. nutrient artery branches out into sec. oss. center 2. epiphyseal artery enters epiphysis and starts process - bone formation similar to primary oss. center except spongy bone will remain in the interior of epiphysis (no formation of medullary cavity) 3. ossification proceeds outwards from center of epiphysis to outer surface of bone

Fourth step of bone growth in thickness

1. osteoblasts continue depositing new circumferential lamellae which grows bone outward 2. deposits ECM which adds thickness 3. osteon formation repeats as periosteal ridges fold over blood vessels

First step of bone growth in thickness

1. periosteum will give rise to osteoblasts 2. osteoblasts will secrete ECM and become osteocytes 3. process forms grooves -> ridges

Second step of bone growth in thickness
