name the 3 types of cartilage
|
hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage
|
|
describe hyaline cartilage
|
forms articulating surfaces of most bones, tracheal rings, nasal/laryngeal cartilage, and the bone models in fetuses
|
|
describe elastic cartilage
|
found in epiglottis and external ear and ear canal
|
|
describe fibrocartilage
|
intervertebral discs, some symphyses, some tendonous insertions into bone, and the eustachian tube
|
|
chondrocytes
|
primary cells of cartilage; reside in lacunae
|
|
perichondrium
|
dense connective tissue sheath that surrounds hyaline and elastic cartilage (but not fibrocartilage)
|
|
describe development of cartilage
|
originate from mesenchyme
differentiate into chondroblasts, which begin to make matrix around them once surrounded in matrix, known as chondrocytes there is interstitial growth (grows from within cartilage) other mesenchymal cells differentiate into dense CT, making perichondrium |
|
describe bone structure
|
made up of cells (osteocytes) and ECM
ECM is largerly made up of hydroxyapatite crystals that contain Ca and P; also contains type I collagen, and ground substance with GAG and glycoproteins and sialoproteins that help bind Ca during mineralization |
|
compact bone
|
dense layer that forms the outside of bone
|
|
cancellous bone
|
meshwork of thin trabeculae or spincules onthe interior of bone, a.k.a spongy bone
|
|
lamellae
|
organized layers of bone (found in mature bone only)
|
|
perioteum
|
dense irregular connective tissue sheath that surrounds bone
|
|
endosteum
|
single layer of flattened cells that surround the inside surfaces of bone
|
|
osteoprogenitor
|
mesenchymal origin
replicate and differentiate into osteoblasts; when inactive, they are bone-lining cells of endosteum and periosteum |
|
osteoblasts
|
synthesize and secrete bone matrix (osteoid) on growing surfaces
matrix is then mineralized; osteoblast secretes Ca-P vesicles into ECM |
|
osteocytes
|
when osteoblast is surrounded by mineralized matrix
have limited ability to synthesize, just help maintain blood calcium levels connect to eachother via gap junctions |
|
osteoclasts
|
hematopoietic origin (bone marrow)
multinucleated phagocytic cell; breaks down calcified matrix by lysosomal action with digests collagen and minerals |
|
describe structure of compact bone
|
formed by columns called Haverisan systems or osteons
osteons formed by concentric lamellae that surround core - Haverisan Canal, which contains blood vessels and nerves canal is interconnected to oblique channels (Volkmann's canal) - allows for distribution from periosteal surface to endosteal surface |
|
canaliculi
|
small tennels within the matrix where gap junctions btwn osteocytes connect
|
|
bone remodeling:
resorbtion reforming |
resorbtion - osteoclasts resorb bone from surfaces
reformed - by appositional growth on pre-existing bone surfaces by osteoblasts |
|
how osteoblasts reform bone
|
secrete collagen and ground substance of unmineralized bone called osteoid; also secretes small matrix vesicles rich in alkaline phosphatase, which increases local PO4 conc, increasing Ca conc, resulting in deposition of hydroxyapatite crytals
|
|
2 processes of bone development in fetus
|
intramembranous ossification
endochondral ossification |
|
intramembranous ossification
|
forming flat bones of the skull, face, mandible, and clavicle
1-mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts (blastema), which secrete osteiod into woven bone pattern 2- osteiod becomes calcified 3- other mesenchyme becomes hematopoietic 4- woven bone gradually remodeled into lamellar bone |
|
endochondrial ossification
|
forming bones of the axial skeleton and the extremeities
1- cartilage model is formed from mesenchyme, develops the shape of bone and contines to gorw by proliferation of chondrocytes and intersitial growth 2- cartilage growth reaches a size where nutriects cannot provide adequate nutrition by diffusion, since cartilage is vascular 3- oldest cells first hypertrophy, then degenerate 4- surrounding cartilage matrix is calcified 5- bone collar is formed by perichondrial/periosteal cells that differentiate into osteoblasts 6- collar penetrated by artery, which brings osteoprogenitor cells, forming hematopoietic tissue and osteoclasts 7- osteoclasts remove calcfied cartilage, and form marrow cavity 8- osteoblasts lay down osteiod which becomes mineralized; growth contines by appostion of new bone in pre-existing bone; bone collar replaced by adult bone |
|
epiphysial plate
|
specialized cartilage; site of chondroblast proliferation and matrix deposition; has zones:
resting (reserve) zone proliferative zone hypertrophic zone calcified cartilage zone (cell death) ossification/resorption zone |
|
Parathyroid hormone
|
raises blood calcium by activation osteoclasts to resorb bone
|
|
calcitonin
|
lowers blood calcium bu inhibiting osteoclast activity
|
|
3 vit/min needed for bone growth and maintenance
|
dietary calcium
vit D - promotes absorption (deficiency = rickets) vit C - collagen synthesis |
|
glycoproteins of cartilage
|
chondronectin - promotes adherence of chondrocytes to matrix
|
|
glycoproteins of bone
|
sialoprotein and osteocalcin - promote bone calcification
|
|
ground substance of cartilage
|
proteoglycans (PG) and glycoprotein
|
|
ground substance of bone
|
glycoaminoglycans (GAG) and glycoproteins
|
