Question
Answer
bone stores which minerals?   calcium and phosphorus  
๐Ÿ—‘
yellow marrow functions as what?   energy storage  
๐Ÿ—‘
red marrow functions as what?   haemopoetic function  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are the four types of bones based on their gross morphological appearance?   long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are the three types of bone based on their internal structure?   1.cortical (compact) bone 2.cancellous (spongy/trabecular) bone 3.subchondral bone  
๐Ÿ—‘
cancellous bone consists of a meshwork of struts or ____   trabeculae  
๐Ÿ—‘
where is subchondral bone found?   at joints underlying hyaline cartilage  
๐Ÿ—‘
how does bone initially form?   as a disorganized coarse mesh called woven bone. this type is found in the fetus and post-injury  
๐Ÿ—‘
bone is a ____ tissue and consisting of cells embedded in a _____   connective, matrix  
๐Ÿ—‘
what is bone's primary inorganic component?   calcium hydroxyapatite  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are the primary organic components of bone?   collagen (mainly type 1) proteoglycans glycoproteins (osteocalcin, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, & osteonectin)  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are osteoblasts derived from and what is their responsibility?   they are derived from osteoprogenitor cells and are responsible for depositing bone  
๐Ÿ—‘
what do osteoblasts secrete?   small vesicles with organic bone matrix precursors onto the appositional surface.  
๐Ÿ—‘
what do osteoblasts communicate with neighboring osteoclasts via?   gap junctions  
๐Ÿ—‘
how are osteocytes formed and what are they responsible for?   they form when osteoblasts become surrounded with matrix. they are responsible for the resorbtion of bone  
๐Ÿ—‘
how to osteocytes communicate with neighboring osteocytes?   via long processes  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are osteoprogenitor cells and what can they differentiate into?   they are undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. they can differentiate into either osteoblasts or under low oxygen tension chondroblasts  
๐Ÿ—‘
where are osteoprogenitor cells found?   they are found on the periosteal surface as well as lining haversian canals  
๐Ÿ—‘
what does the ruffled border of osteoclasts secrete?   H+ ions lysosomal hydrolases collagenase  
๐Ÿ—‘
unlike osteoblasts, osteoclasts orginate from what?   monocyte precursors (granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cell)  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are howship's lacunae?   small cavities that form when osteoclasts resorb bone  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are the two ways bone can form?   1. intramembranous ossification (like bones of the cranial vault, face and clavicles) 2. endochondral ossification (all other bones)  
๐Ÿ—‘
describe intramembranous ossification.   it occurs when mesenchymal cells differentiate directly into osteoblasts. the osteoblasts then start laying down spciules of bone  
๐Ÿ—‘
describe endochondral ossification.   occurs when a hyaline cartilaginous model continues to grow and forms as a scaffold for the developing bone  
๐Ÿ—‘
in the diaphysis, what do chondrogenic cells differentiate into?   osteoblasts  
๐Ÿ—‘
during bone formation, what does the perichondrium surrounding the diaphysis become?   periosteum  
๐Ÿ—‘
at what location do long bones grow in length?   at the epiphyseal plate  
๐Ÿ—‘
how does the epiphyseal plate elongate?   by proliferation of chondrocytes  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are the primary ossification centers?   where endochondral ossification begins, responsible for the formation of the diaphysis of long bones  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are lamellae?   highly organized and arranged sheet of mature compact bone  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are the two types of lamellae?   1. outer circumferential lamellae found on the periosteal surface 2. inner circumferential lamellae found on the endosteal surface  
๐Ÿ—‘
where are the haversian canals located?   they are located in the midcortex  
๐Ÿ—‘
what ties the periosteal membrane to the bone surface?   sharpey's fibers  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are canaliculi?   small canals that connect the lacunae and allow the osteocytes to communicate via long processes with gap junctions  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are central canals?   canals containing a neurovascular bundle that supplies the surrounding bone.  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are volkman's canals?   canals that allow central canals of adjacent osteons communicate  
๐Ÿ—‘
what are the three distinct processes involved in the microstructure of bone?   1. growth 2. modeling - primary bone 3. remodeling - secondary bone  
๐Ÿ—‘
what is appositional growth?   growth that increases diameter by adding new bone under the periosteum  
๐Ÿ—‘
what is longitudinal growth?   growth that increases bone length by adding new bone at the growth plates  
๐Ÿ—‘
define modeling (aka surface remodeling)   the process by which bones modify their gross morphology and internal architecture - limited in mature bones. it is also the primary process by which bones adapt to their mechanical environment  
๐Ÿ—‘
define remodeling   the process by which bone matrix is turned over, conducted by BMU - basic multicellular unit  
๐Ÿ—‘
what do BMUs (basic multicellular units) do?   turn over cylindrical packets of bone by: 1. localized destruction - resorption space 2. formation of new concentric lamellae - haversian system  
๐Ÿ—‘
what four things drive remodeling?   1. mobilization of calcium 2. removal of microdamage 3. vascularization 4. mechanical stress  
๐Ÿ—‘
the compressed side of bone is electro____ and the tension side is electro____   negative, positive  
๐Ÿ—‘
osteoblasts are stimulated by what to deposit bone?   negative piezoelectric charges  
๐Ÿ—‘
osteoblasts are stimulated by what to resorb bone?   positive piezoelectric charges  
๐Ÿ—‘
what is the mechanostat hypothesis?   that strain magnitude within the bone regulates modeling and remodeling  
๐Ÿ—‘
according to the mechanostat hypothesis, an above acceptable strain level results in what two things?   modeling stimulated and remodeling suppressed  
๐Ÿ—‘
the production of parathyroid hormone results in what?   osteoblasts have receptors that recognize this hormone and they stimulate osteoclasts to resorb bone to liberate calcium  
๐Ÿ—‘
what hormone is secreted when the blood calcium level rises?   calcitonin  
๐Ÿ—‘
what gland secretes calcitonin?   thyroid  
๐Ÿ—‘
calcitonin inhibits what?   osteoclast activity and thus bone resorption  
๐Ÿ—‘
the sutures of the skull are what types of joints?   fibrous joints  
๐Ÿ—‘
cartilaginous joints occur when bones are joined by what or what   hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage  
๐Ÿ—‘
