-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
