|
Histology of Bone Tissue
|
Types of Cells:
1. osteogenic: unspecialized bone forming cells -during mitosis, daughter cells differentiate to form... 2. osteoblasts: specialized, bone forming -cannot divide, secrete matrix, to form... 3. osteocyte: mature bone cells -1 per lacuna 4. osteoclasts: bone reabsorbing -eat away at bone matrix -form from monocytes -enzymes released from ruffled border |
|
Types of Bone Tissues
|
1. Spongy (cancellous)
2. Compact |
|
Spongy Bone
|
-makes up most bone tissue except outer layer
-interlaced trabeculae (bony plates) -irregular lacunae with osteocytes -red bone marrow between spaces -compressible because of spaces |
|
Compact Bone
|
-found in outer layer and diaphysis (long bones)
-very dense, no spaces, not compressible -more protection and support -cells arranged in Haversian Systems |
|
Haversian Systems (osteons)
|
-Haversian (central) canals
-blood vessels and lymphatic vessels -nutrients and wastes to osteon -lamellae -osteocytes surrounding center -rings of lacunae (within osteocyte) close to nutrients -canaliculi -run through solid bone (bony matrix) to the into Haversian canal |
|
Ossification (bone formation)
|
-formation of bones
-2 types 1. endochondral (within cartilage) -cartilage in shape of bone, replaced by bone -most bones (all long bones) 2. intramembranous -basic bone shape laid out by fibrous connective tissue membrane, replaced by bone |
|
Endochondral Ossification
|
-begins at ossification centers
-primary and secondary |
|
Primary Ossification Center
|
at the center of diaphysis of long bone, spreads in both direction
|
|
Secondary Ossification Center
|
in epiphyses of long bones
|
|
Steps of Endochondral Ossification
|
1. Chondrocytes (cartilage cells) divide, hypertrophy (enlarge), then die
2. blood brings osteoblasts 3. osteoblasts secrete matrix (like cement) -golgi complex secretes mucopolysaccharides -endoplasmic reticulum secretes protein fibers 4. calcification: hardens matrix -deposit Ca++ salts |
|
Intramembranous Ossification
|
-bone begins as fibrous connective tissue
-begins at ossification center (center of membrane) -steps: 1. blood brings osteoblasts 2. osteoblasts secrete matrix 3. calcification |
|
Fontanel (soft spot) formation
|
-intramembranous growth radiates from center
-skull is also growing, membranous growth occurs -outer edges still connective tissue by birth |
|
Longitudinal Growth of Long Bones
|
-occurs at epiphyseal disks (growth plates)
-hyaline cartilage -chondrocytes divide ---> hypertrophy --> die --> ossification -bones elongate until cartilage is replaced by bone (bone cells don't divide) |
|
Radial Growth of Long Bones
|
-ossification at periosteum by osteoblasts (just under periosteum)
-resorption at endosteum by osteoclasts |
|
Cellular Respiration
|
-chemical reactions occurring within the cell
-reactions to oxidize glucose to extract energy in cell and store as ATP |
|
Oxidation/Reduction (Redox) reactions
|
-chemical reactions based on oxidation numbers
|
|
Oxidation Numbers
|
-way to keep track based on number of electrons transferred in reactions
|
|
Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers
|
1. for ions, oxidation number equals the charge
eg Cl-=-1, Mg++=+2 2. for atoms in free state, oxidation number=0 atoms of elements not combined with other 3. in compound: -for Oxygen, oxidation number=-2 -for Hydrogen, oxidation number =+1 Sum of all oxidation numbers=charge |
|
Oxidation
|
-increase in oxidation (more positive)
-decrease in energy content -- releases energy (exergonic) -occurs in one of three ways: 1. loss of electrons 2. loss of hydrogen atoms 3. gain of oxygen atoms |
|
Reduction
|
-reverse of oxidation
-decrease in oxidation number (less positive) -gain of energy -- energy is absorbed, used (endergonic) -methods: 1. gain electrons (gain in negative charge) 2. gain in hydrogen ions 3. loss of oxygen atoms |
|
Redox Reductions Linked
|
-exergonic overall (amount of energy released > amount of energy gained)
-example: Cellular Respiration |
|
C_6 H_12 O_6+6O_2 →6H_2 O+6CO_2
|
What is oxidized?
-Carbon, change in C, increased to +4 What is reduced? -Oxygen, change in O, reduced to -2 |
|
Coenzymes
|
attached to enzymes to ensure proper shape of active site
-made from vitamins -can be used for transferring electrons from H ions -involved in oxidation -can be reused since they return to original state -co-enzymes used in cellular respiration: 1. NAD 2. FAD 3. CoA |
|
NAD
|
NAD^+ +2H <--> NADH + H+
(oxidized)(pick-up H)-(reduction)--> one H electron neutralizes charge and grabs onto NAD, one proton remaining (positive H ion) |
|
FAD
|
FAD + 2H <--> FADH_2
(oxidized) takes on 2 Hydrogen ions |
|
CoA
|
transfers Carbon fragments
|
|
ATP
|
-energy captured and stored in high energy bonds (~) between phosphate groups
-energy is released when bond is broken example: A-P~P~P (ATP) <--> A-P~P (ADP) + P_i + energy when bond is broken, energy released from R to L = energy storage, main purpose of cellular respiration |
|
Cellular Respiration Mechanics
|
-overall chemical reactions
-occurs in 4 basic stages: 1. glycolysis 2. transition stage 3. Kerbs cycle 4. electron transport chain |
|
Glycolysis
|
-splitting sugar
-occurs in cytoplasm -total of 9 chemical reactions |
|
Transition Stage
|
-passes from cytoplasm to mitochondrial matrix)
|
|
Krebs Cycle
|
-occurs in mitochondrial matrix
-9 chemical reactions, turned twice |
|
Electron Transport Chain
|
-series of molecules embedded within inner mitochondrial membrane
-reduced NAD and FAD carry H_2 here -each H has proton separated from electron -electrons passed down chain, release of energy -Oxygen=final electron acceptor (end of the line), driving force of electron chain |
|
Chemiosmotic Mechanism of ATP Generation
|
-combines events of electron chain with ATP generation
-less energy as electrons move down the line -energy used to pump Hydrogen ions from matrix --> inter membrane space ... therefore produces concentration of charges, electrical gradient = potential energy (Proton Motive Force) -can be converted to chemical energy by pushing ions through hole in membrane -H+ channels in inner membrane are part of enzyme ATP Synthatase -as H+ rush into matrix, enzyme uses PMF to make ATP -each reduced NAD generates 3 ATP -each reduced FAD generates 2 ATP -reduced NAD in cytoplasm transported to matrix by FAD (becomes reduced FADH_2) via shuttle mechanism |
|
Fermentation
|
-organic compound accepts electrons from reduced NAD produced during glycolysis
-regenerates (oxidized) NAD+ needed for glycolysis |
|
Catabolism of Compounds other than Glucose
|
-energy from proteins, lipids, carbs
-all molecules converted into compounds which show up somewhere in respiration cycle -fats are high in energy because they feed into glycolysis and Krebs cycle |
