compression
===> <====
osteoporosis 2
estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) slows bone resorption, but best treatment is prevention - exercise and calcium intake (1000 mg/day) between ages 25 and 40. no cure - can slow its progression but not reverse it. exercise needs to be limited. therapies to stimulate bone deposition are still under investigation.
compact bone is replaced
every 10 or so years
spongy bone is replaced
every 3 to 4 years
compact bone
external and internal surfaces of flat bone are composed of

bone tissue overview
tissues and organs of the skeletal system, histology of osseous tissue, bone development, physiology of osseous tissue, bone disorders & healing
function of parathyroid hormone (PTH)
to raise blood Ca++ levels by 4 ways: 1) binds to osteoblasts causing them to release osteoclast-stimulating factor that stimulares osteoclast multiplication & activity 2) promotes calcium resorption by the kidneys 3) promotes calcitriol synthesis in the kidneys 4) inhibits collagen synthesis and bone deposition by osteoblasts (slow down osteoblastic activity) increase osteroclastic activity, resorption from bone to blood

exercise for your bone health
vital at every age for healthy bones, exercise is important for treating and preventing osteoporosis. not only does exercise improve your bone health, it also increases muscle strength, coordination, and balance. and leads to better overall health.
calcitriol, calcitonin, parathyroid hormone
vital homeostasis regulated by 3 hormones. it's about what the blood needs, bone needs, bone does

endochondral ossification
primary method of how bones are made. start off as cartilage. has a cartilage phase that IMO did not have. most bones develop from this process. 6 step process with many details but just overview at this point. cartilage to bone.
stage 2 & 3
primary ossification center and primary marrow cavity. start to ossify outer layer of cartilage. osteoclasts take over osteoblasts. 2) formation of primary ossification center, bony collar, and periosteum. 3) secondary ossification center gains length, perforating canal - blood supply. vascular invasion, formation of primary marrow cavity, and appearance of secondary ossification center
osis

red = cartilage, very soft
periosteum
remainder of bone covered in this. nerve fibers that protect epiphyses. velcro. outer fibrous layer of collagen fibers continuous with tendons. do not have it under articular cartilage
a complete osteoporosis program
remember, exercise is only one part of an osteoporosis prevention or treatment program. like a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, exercise helps strengthen bones at any age. But proper exercise and diet may not be enough to stop bone loss caused by medical conditions, menopause, or lifestyle choices such as tobacco use and excessive alcohol consumption. it is important to speak with your doctor about your bone health. discuss when you might be a candidate for a bone mineral density test. if you are diagnosed with low bone mass, ask what medications might help keep your bones strong
the metaphysis
reserve cartilage, osteoblasts.
osteogenic cells
reside in endosteum, periosteum or central canal. arise from fibroblasts and become only source for new osteoblasts. multiply continuously & differentiate into amitotic osteoblasts in response to stress or fractures
minerals
resist compression

diaphysis
shaft. cylinder of compact bone, contains marrow cavity (medullary cavity) which is lined with endosteum
intramembranous ossification
(not all effort), produces flat bones of skull and clavicle only. fibrous membrane develops DIRECTLY into bone. forming a bone from a fiber - creating calcification. diploe - trabeculae in between 2 layers
4 step process of intramembranous ossification
1) mesenchyme condenses intro a sheet of soft tissue and eventually will become the periosteum (transforms into a soft network of trabeculae) 2) osteoblasts gather on the trabeculae to form osteoid tissue (uncalcified bones) calcium phosphate is deposited in the matrix transforming the osteoblasts into osteocytes, periosteum is now formed 3) osteoclasts remodel the center to contain marrow spaces and the ends continuing forming trabeculae 4) osteoblasts remodel the surface forming compact bone ("honeycomb sandwich" is formed!)
each day
1/2 gram of calcium may leave or enter the skeleton
osteomalacia
ADULTS. can't control. adult form of rickets. dwarfism - poor mineralization/matrix. bones softened and deformed. inadequate mineralization from poor nutrition (poverty) and many pregnancies, implication - high rate of fracture
osteoblasts
BONE BUILDERS. form and help mineralize organic matter of matrix (dense tissue)
osteocytes
BONE CELL. are former osteoblasts that have become trapped in the matrix they found. make deposits to make bones stronger to adapt to stress
osteoclasts
BONE DESTROYERS. develop in bone marrow by the fusion of 3-50 of the same stem cells that give rise to monocytes found on blood. bone is stronger with deposits, weaker with withdrawals.
remodeling
breaking down and building up
rickets
KIDS. many causes, they bow. can't control. child form of osteomalacia, epiphyseal plates cannot be ossified, implications - bones do not grow, dwarfism and deformed bones.
the metaphysis transitional zone
between head and shaft of developing long bone - 5 zones
dia
across
physiology of bone tissue
always remodeling, mineral deposits (primarily Ca++ and Pi) made when bone is injured or strength is needed. diet - proteins, vitamin C, D, A and several minerals (calcium) -bone resorption (dissolving) via osteoclasts
traumatic fracture
an acute break caused by abnormal trauma to a bone, from car accidents, falls, athletics, etc
homeostasis - physiology of bone tissue
as many depositions as withdrawals. bone remodeling is based on the amount of Ca and Pi deposition vs. their resorption. bone is the reservoir for Ca++ and Pi. Therefore, calcium and phosphate homeostasis is vitally important. for muscle contraction, blood clotting, nerve communication, etc. depends on dietary intake, waste removal, and mineral exchange
secondary ossification centers
begin to form in the epiphyses near time of birth. same stages occur as in primary ossification centers. results in center of epiphyseal cartilage being transformed into spongy bone. hyaline cartilage remains on. joint surface as articular cartilage, junction of diaphysis & epiphysis (epiphyseal plate). each side of epiphyseal plate has a METAPHYSIS.

cells of osseous tissue
bone in constantly remodeled (built up and broken down) all life long. this remodeling is a delicate balance of osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity based on needs of the body (body needs to make up for withdrawals)
physiology of bone tissue
bone is a dynamic and active tissue all life long. small scale changes in architecture happen continually.
osteoporosis (porous bones)
bone mass decreases over time, bones thin as we age. brittle bone disease - bone thinning. most common bone disease. bones lose mass and become brittle due to loss of both organic matrix and minerals. (matrix weakening) risk of fracture of hip, wrist and vertebral column. postmenopausal white women at greatest risk. by age 70, average loss of estrogen
inorganic matter
bone salts/minerals, hard substances, skeletal remains. 85% hydroxyapatite (crystallized calcium phosphate salt) 10% calcium carbonate, other minerals (fluoride, sulfate, potassium, magnesium)
bone growth and remodeling
bones grow and remodel themselves throughout life. constantly breaking down and building up. active people - stronger, denser bones. athletes or active adults have greater density & mass of bone. bone grows by both appositional and interstitial growth from actually the cartilage within the bone. bones increase in length by institial growth of epiphyseal plate (moving) open vs. closed growth plates.
bone growth and remodeling
bones increase in width by appositional growth. wider, bigger circumference. -deposition of new bones at surface -osteoblasts lay down matrix in layers parallel to the outer surface & osteoclasts dissolve bone on inner surface -bone marrow cavity also widens (larger medullary cavity) if one outpaces the other, carious bone deformities can occur (Paget disease, osteoporosis, etc)
pathological fracture
break in a bone weakened by some other disease. bone cancer, osteoporosis, et al. osteoclasts winning the battle.

long bones
have the most features associated with them
calcitonin
helps with HYPERCALCEMIA. gets rid of excess calcium in the blood. secreted by thyroid gland when CA++ {conc} rises too high in blood. important role in children, but little effect in adults. deficiency is not known to cause any disease in adults. may be useful in reducing bone loss in osteoporosis?
calcitriol
helps with HYPOCALCEMIA. bring to WNL. formed from vitamin D produced by the skin - liver - kidney. acts as a hormone but is considered a vitamin. added to the diet, especially if you do not get enough sunlight.

False
once bone is done forming, it does not continually grow or remodel at all
true
one of the important functions of bone is to maintain the homeostasis of the blood by making sure it does not become acidic or alkaline
protection
organs, vertebrae protects spinal cord
parathyryroid hormone (PTH)
similar to calcitriol, helps with HYPOCALCEMIA. secreted by the parathyroid glands. released when blood Ca++ {conc} level is too low, a 1% drop in blood calcium will double the amount of PTH secreted. injection of low levels of PTH can cause bone deposition
