What are the bone cells?
How much mass to they make up? -
-osteocytes
-osteoblasts
-osteoprogenitor cells
-osteoclasts
-they make up 2% of mass -
What are osteocytes?
How do they connect with one another? -
Non-dividing, mature bone cells that maintain the bone matrix and live in lacunae. They are found between layers of matrix (lamellae).
-Connect through cytoplasmic extensions through canaliculi in lamellae. - What are osteoblasts?
- These produce new bone matrix by synthesizing and secreting an organic matrix (osteoid).
- What are osteoblasts surrounded by bone called?
- osteocytes.
- What are osteoprogenitor cells?
- they are mesenchymal stem cells that divide to prduce osteoblasts. They are located in inner, cellular layer of periosteum to assist in facture repair (located where needed and will become osteablasts).
- What are osteoclasts?
- They are giant multinucleated cells that are derived from stem cells that produce macrophages and secrete acids and protein-digesting enzymes to dissolve bone matrix releasing stored minerals.
- What is homeostasis in bones?
- Bone building and bone recycling must balance or weakness occurs. Exercise maintiains bone building.
- What is the basic funtional unit of the compact bone?
- osteon or the Haversian system.
- What is the osteon?
- the basic unit of mature compact bone where osteocytes are arranged in concentric lamellae. This is around a central canal containing blood vessels.
- What are perforating canals?
- Perpendicular to the central canal that carry blood vessels into bone and marrow.
- What are circumferential lamellae?
- Lamellae wrapped around the long bone and binds osteons together
- How does spongy bone compare to compact bone in terms of osteons?
-
They don't have any. The matrix forms an open network of trabeculae which have no blood vessels.
*Spongy bone is covered in compact bone however. - What is bone marrow?
- A specialized type of soft, diffuse connective tissue (myeloid tissue) where blood cells are produced. It can be found in long bones and spaces of spongy bone.
- What is red marrow?
- forms blood cells, found in virtually all bones in young animals
- What is yellow marrow?
- Marrow cells have become saturated with fat and are inactive. Yellow can go back to red during times of decreased blood supply.
- What is the endosteum?
- Lines the marrow cavity and the inner surfaces of central canals, covers the trabeculae of sponge bone.
- When do human bones stop growing?
- Around 25 years of age.
- What is osteogenesis?
- Bone formation
- What is ossification?
- the process of replacing other tissues with bone
- What are the two ways bone can form?
-
1) Endochondral formation
2) Intramembranous formation - What is intramembranous formation?
- Bone develops directly from mesenchyme or fibrous connective tissue. Normally occuring in deeper layers of dermis (AKA dermal ossification)
- What is endochondral ossification?
- Bone replaces exsisting cartilage. Most common formation this way.
- What is interstitial growth?
- It is the epiphyseal plate that allows the diaphysis of a long bone to increase in length.
- What is appositional growth?
-
1) bone formation makes parallel ridges to blood vessel.
2) Ridges enlarge to deep pocket
3) Ridges meet and fuse trapping the vessel inside
4-6) bone continues entrapping vessels and increasing in diameter. - What are three vessel sources of blood supply?
-
-Periosteal vessels
-Nurtrient artery and vein
-Metaphyseal vessels - How do periosteal vessels work?
- Countless tiny vessels from the periosteum penetrate into bone matrix through perforating caals and interconnect osteons.
- How does the nutrient arter and vein work?
- Supplies large bones by carrying blood in and out of bone marrow.
- How do metaphyseal vessels work?
- They supply blood to inner surfaces of each epiphyseal cartilage.
- How does exercise help maintain bones?
- Stress applied to bones are essential to maintain bone strength and mass. Over a few weeks of inactivity, 1/3 bone mass can be lost!
- What do animals need for normal bone growth?
- -nutritional and hormonal factors
- What are the needed minerals for proper maintenance of bones?
-
-Ca and P salts
-small amounts of Mg, F, I, and Manganese. - What vitamins are needed for bone maintentance and what are they applied for?
-
-Vit C for collagen synthesis and stimulating osteoblast differentiation
-Vit A to stimulate osteoblast activity
-Vit K and B12 to help synthesize bone proteins - What are some hormones needed for bone growth?
-
-Calcitriol
-Growth hormone
-Thyroxine
-Sex hormones
-Parathyroid hormone
-Calcitonin - What three participants help with hormone control and how?
-
Bones store calcium ions
Digestive tract absorbs calcium ions
Kidneys excrete calcium ions - What are the two hormones with opposite effects that help with homeostasis through neg. feedback?
- Calcitonin and Parathyroid hormone (PTH).
- What happens when blood calcium gets too high?
- Calcitonin is released. This makes the kidneys allow for calcium loss, rate of intestinal absorption decreases, and osteoclasts are ininhibited while osteoblasts put calcium ions into bones (and therefore out of blood).
- What happens when blood calcium gets too low?
- Parathyroid Hormone kicks in. Osteoclasts stimulated to release calcium ions, kidneys retain calcium ions, and rate of intestinal absorption increases.
