Perichondrium

Dense irregular connective tissue membrane covering cartilage The perichondrium acts as a reinforcement to resist outward expansion when the cartilage is compressed. The perichondrium also contains blood vessels that nourish the cartilage cells. The thickness of cartilage is limited by the distance nutrients can diffuse through the matrix to reach the cells.

tuberosity

Large rounded projection; may be roughened

spongy bone

Layer of bone tissue that has many small spaces and is found just inside the layer of compact bone composed of small needlelike pieces of bone and lots of open space (trabeculae), open space contains red and yellow bone marrow

osteoblast

bone-forming cell; a cell that secretes the matrix for bone formation (unmineralized bone matrix they secrete includes collagen (90% of bone protein) and calcium-binding proteins that make up the initial unmineralized bone, or osteoid); secrete collagen, calcium-binding proteins; cube-shaped, responsible for bone remodeling

greenstick fracture

bending and incomplete break of a bone; most often seen in children

osteoclast

bone cell that absorbs and removes unwanted bony tissue; responsible for bone remodeling; giant and multinucleate cells actively resorbing (breaking down) bone, the osteoclasts lie in a shallow depression they have carved out. They have a distinctive ruffled border that directly contacts the bone. The deep plasma membrane infoldings of the ruffled border tremendously increase the surface area for enzymatically degrading the bones and seal off that area from the surrounding matrix

First step of ossification (for endochrondral bone formation)

A bone collar forms around the diaphysis of the hyaline cartilage model. Like all cartilage, the cartilage model is initially surrounded by perichondrium. Ossification begins when the underlying mesenchymal cells (cells of the embryonic connective tissue, p. 129) in the deep layer of the perichondrium specialize into osteoblasts. As a result, the perichondrium becomes periosteum. Osteoblasts of the newly converted periosteum secrete osteoid against the hyaline cartilage diaphysis, encasing it in a collar of bone. As the bone collar forms, chondrocytes within the shaft hypertrophy

osteoporosis

A condition in which the body's bones become weak and break easily.

periosteum

parathyroid hormone

A hormone of the parathyroid gland that regulates the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body; stimulates osteoclasts to resorb bone, increase calcium levels in blood As blood concentrations of calcium rise, the stimulus for PTH release ends. The decline of PTH reverses its effects and causes blood Ca2+ levels to fall.

osteon

A structural unit of compact bone consisting of a central canal surrounded by concentric cylindrical lamellae of matrix; group of hollow tubes in matrix

cartilage growth

Appositional growth: increase size by adding to outer surface; cartilage-forming cells in the surrounding perichondrium secrete new matrix against the external face of the existing cartilage tissue Interstitial growth: expands from within; the lacunae-bound chondrocytes divide and secrete new matrix, expanding the cartilage from within; ends in adolescence

Proliferation Zone

Area of cartilage on diaphysis side of epiphyseal plate that is rapidly dividing New cells formed move upward, pushing epiphysis away from diaphysis, causing lengthening

Hypertrophic zone

Area with older chondrocytes closer to diaphysis Cartilage lacunae enlarge and erode, forming interconnecting spaces

Nutrient artery and vein

Blood vessels that supply the diaphysis form by invading the cartilage model as endochondral ossification begins

Fourth step of healing bone fracture

Bone remodeling occurs - the bony callus is remodeled. The excess material on the diaphysis exterior and within the medullary cavity is removed. Compact bone is laid down to reconstruct the shaft walls. The repaired area resembles the original unbroken bony region because it responds to the same set of mechanical stressors.

Third step of healing bone fracture

Bony callus forms. Within this mass of repair tissue, osteoblasts begin forming spongy bone. Within a week, osteoblasts begin to lay down trabeculae of new bone around and within the fibrocartilaginous callus. These trabeculae span the width of the callus and unite the two fragments of broken bone. Gradually the fibrocartilaginous callus is replaced by immature bone, converting it to a bony (hard) callus. Bony callus formation continues until a firm union forms about two months later.

Second Step of Ossification

Cartilage calcifies in the center of the diaphysis and then develops cavities. The hypertrophied chondrocytes calcify the surrounding cartilage matrix. Then, because calcified cartilage matrix is impermeable to diffusing nutrients, the chondrocytes die and the matrix begins to deteriorate. This deterioration opens up cavities, but the bone collar stabilizes the hyaline cartilage model. Elsewhere, the cartilage remains healthy and continues to grow briskly, causing the cartilage model to elongate.

cartilage vs bone

Cartilage contains no nerves or blood vessels. It is surrounded by a layer of dense irregular connective tissue, the perichondrium

ossification zone

Chondrocyte deterioration leaves long spicules of calcified cartilage at epiphysis-diaphysis junction Spicules eroded by osteoclasts Covered with new bone by osteoblasts Ultimately replaced with spongy bone

Second step of healing bone fracture

Fibrocartilaginous callus forms. Within a few days, new blood vessels grow into the clot. Fibroblasts and chondroblasts invade the fracture site from the nearby periosteum and endosteum. The fibroblasts produce collagen fibers that span the break and connect the broken bone ends. The chondroblasts secrete a cartilaginous matrix that bulges externally and later calcifies, forming a fibrocartilaginous callus that spans the break and connects the broken bone ends

bone remodeling

The continuous turnover of bone matrix and mineral that involves first, an increase in resorption and osteoclast activity, and later, reactive bone formation by osteoblast activity.

Fourth Step of Ossification

The diaphysis elongates and a medullary cavity forms. As the primary ossification center enlarges, osteoclasts break down the newly formed spongy bone and open up a medullary cavity in the center of the diaphysis. Throughout the fetal period (week 9 until birth), the rapidly growing epiphyses consist only of cartilage, and the hyaline cartilage models continue to elongate by division of viable cartilage cells at the epiphyses. Ossification "chases" cartilage formation along the length of the shaft as cartilage calcifies, erodes, and then is replaced by little bony spikes on the epiphyseal surfaces facing the medullary cavity. At birth, most of our long bones have a bony diaphysis surrounding remnants of spongy bone, a widening medullary cavity, and two cartilaginous epiphyses. Shortly before or after birth, secondary ossification centers develop in one or both epiphyses. Typically, the large long bones form secondary centers in both epiphyses, whereas the small long bones form only one secondary ossification center. (In short bones, only the primary ossification center is formed. Most irregular bones develop from several distinct ossification centers.)

Fifth Step of Ossification

The epiphyses ossify. Secondary ossification reproduces almost exactly the events of primary ossification, except that the spongy bone in the interior is retained and no medullary cavity forms in the epiphyses.

Third Step of Bone Ossification

The periosteal bud invades the internal cavities and spongy bone forms. In month 3, the forming cavities are invaded by a collection of elements called the periosteal bud, which contains a nutrient artery and vein, nerve fibers, red marrow elements, osteoprogenitor cells, and osteoclasts. The entering osteoclasts partially erode the calcified cartilage matrix. The osteoprogenitor cells become osteoblasts that secrete osteoid around the remaining calcified fragments of hyaline cartilage. In this way, bone-covered cartilage trabeculae, the earliest version of spongy bone, is formed.

calcification of osteoid

The proteins of the newly deposited osteoid bind calcium ions (Ca2+), raising the local concentration of Ca2+ This in turn triggers osteoblasts to release matrix vesicles studded with the enzyme alkaline phosphatase The result is that calcium salts are deposited throughout the osteoid, creating calcified bone matrix.
