26 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
mineral that gives bone its strength
calcium hydroxyapatite
lag time between formation of matrix and mineralization
12-15 days
unmineralized bone
osteoid
pleuripotent mesenchymal stem cells

stimulated by growth factors

undergo cell division and produce offspring that differentiate into osteoblasts (transcription factor core binding factor a1)
osteoprogenitor cells
cells located on the surface of bone

synthesize, transport, and arrange proteins of matrix

initiate process of mineralization

cell surface receptors bind hormones

life span of approximately 3 months then undergo apoptosis or become surrounded by matrix
osteoblasts/surface lining cells
cells more numerous than any oher bone forming cell

communicate with each other and wit surface cells via canaliculi

can detect mechanical forces and translate them into biological activity: release of chemical mediators by signal transduction pathways
osteocytes
cell responsible for bone resorption

derived from hematopoietic progenitor cells

cytokines and growth factors crucial to cell differentiation and maturation: IL-1, IL-3, IL-6, IL-11, TNF, GM-CSF, M-CSF
osteoclast
member of TNF family of receptors expressed mainly on cells of macrophage/monocyte lineage such as preosteoclasts

initiates osteoclastgenesis
RANK
random weave of bone

fetal skeleton and growth plates
woven bone
orderly bone

gradually replaces woven bone during growth; stronger than woven bone
lamellar bone
noncollagenous protein unique to bone

sensitive and specific serum marker for osteoblast activity
osteocalcin
osteoblasts and osteoclasts acting in coordination
basic multicellular unit
breakdown and renewal of bone that are responsible for skeletal maintenance

initiated at sites experiencing fatigue and microdamage
remodelling
genes responsible for skeletal morphogenesis

expression produces localized cellular condensation of primitive mesenchyme at sites of future bone
homeobox genes
periosteum of the midshaft of the anlage

produces osteoblasts that deposit the beginnings of the cortex
primary center of ossification
epiphyses sequence of events leading to the removal cartilage
secondary center of ossification
expanding center of ossification
growth plate
important regulators of sequence of chondrocyte growth and maturation
indian hedgehog and parathyroid hormone related protein
core of cartilage covered by a layer of bone
spongiosa
bones formed by osteoblasts directly from fibrous layer of tissue derived from mesenchyme
intramembranous formation
developmental anomalies resulting from localized problems in migration of mesenchymal cells and their formation fo condensation

may be due to mutations in homeobox genes
dystoses
mutation HOXD-13
extra digit between the 3rd and 4th fingers and syndactyly
failure of the closure of the spinal column and skull
craniorachischisis
most common disease of growth plate; major cause of dwarfism

reduction in proliferation of chondrocytes in the growth plate

point mutation in gene that codes for FGF receptor: receptor in constant state of activation; suppressing growth

shortened proximal extremeties, trunk of normal length, enlarged head with bulging forehead adn conspicuous depression of the root of the nose
achondroplasia
abnormalities in the growth plates

proliferation and hypertrophy narrowed and disorganized; clusters of large chondrocytes instead of well formed columns

premature deposition of horizontal struts of bone taht seals the plate and prevents further growth

cortices form normally and appear thickened in relation to the short length of the bone
achondroplasia
most common lethal form of dwarfism

micromelic shortening of the limbs, frontal bossing with relative microcephaly, a small chest cavity, bell shaped abdomen

respiratory insufficiency
thanatophoric dwarfism
