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
