List the general contents of bone organs (7).
1. Bone tissue
2. Other connective tissue
3. Fat
4. Cartilage
5. Bone marrow
6. Blood vessels
7. Nerves
List the elements that compose bone tissue.
1. Cells (osteoblasts, osteocytes..)
2. Extracellular matrix (type I collagen, ground substance)
3. Hydroxyapatite crystals (within collagen fibrils and ground substance)
Describe the gross appearance of the inside and outside layers of bone.
Inside --> Spongy (trabecular, cancellous)
Outside --> Compact (dense, cortical)
Cylindrical units within mature bone are called..?
Osteons
Which type of bone (immature or mature) has randomly oriented cells with interlacing arrangements of fibers?
Immature bone (primary, woven)

(mature bone forms cylindrical units and is structurally superior)
Is lamellar bone immature or mature bone?
Mature
Is woven bone immature or mature bone?
Immature

(gets replaced by lamellar/mature bone)
Is compact bone in the adult composed of lamellar or woven bone?
Lamellar
Name the canals that blood travels through as it moves from the marrow cavity through the bone to the periosteum.
Haversian canal --> --->Volkmann's canal
Name the canal located in the center of an osteon.
Haversian canal
Name of remnants of previous concentric lamellae.
Interstitial lamella
List the components of an osteon.
1. Haversian canal (contains blood vessels)
2. Concentric lamellae
3. Lacunae (contain osteocytes)
4. Canaliculi
What canals connect blood vessels of adjacent Haversian canals?
Volkmann's canals
Name the 5 cells of bone tissue.
1. Osteoblasts (bone forming cells)
2. Osteocytes (in lacunae)
3. Osteoprogenitor cells (stem cells of periosteum)
4. Bone lining cells (quiescent osteoblasts of endosteum)
5. Osteoclasts (bone resorbing cells)
Name of bone-forming cells.
Osteoblasts
Name of stem cells of periosteum.
Osteoprogenitor cells
Name of quiescent osteoblasts of endosteum.
Bone lining cells
Bone resorbing cells.
Osteoclasts
Which cells can be either quiescent osteoblasts or osteoprogenitor cells?
Endosteal cells
Beginning with mesenchymal stem cells, describe the differentiation process to osteocytes.
1. Mesenchymal stem cell -->
2. Osteoprogenitor cells --->
3. Osteoblasts --->
4. Either: osteocytes or bone-lining cells
What do osteoblasts synthesize?
Osteoid
(unmineralized bone matrix)
What structures allow cellular processes in canaliculi to be in contact with each other?
Gap junctions
Osteocytes are entrapped within ________.
Lacunae
Which cellular layer are osteoprogenitor cells located within?
Periosteum
(also in endosteum in early development-- but not in adult bones).
Simple squamous cells on all bone surfaces.
Bone lining cells (quiescent osteoblasts)
Bone lining cells are located within which layers of bone?
Periosteum and endosteum
Osteoclasts are derived from...
Fusion of monocytes
Osteoclasts form a subosteoclastic compartment known as...
Howship's lacunae
How do osteoclasts break down bone tissue?
They create an acidic environment via proton pumps and release hydrolytic enzymes onto the bone surface.

Acidic environment does 2 things:
1. Demineralizes osteoid (Ca2+ deposits leak out)
2. Provides optimal enviro for acid hydrolases
Name the 2 types of ossification.
1. Intramembranous ossification
2. Endochondral ossification
Type of ossification in which bone is formed directly by condensation of mesenchymal cells.

What type of bones are formed this way?
Intramembranous ossification

*Flat bones of skull and face, mandible, and clavicle.
Type of ossification in which bone is formed in relation to a previously formed cartilage (hyaline) model.

What types of bones are formed this way?
Endochondral

*Bones of extremities, axial skeleton.
Name the 6 general steps of endochondral ossification.
1. Formation of cartilage model
2. Formation of periosteal bone collar
3. Hypertrophy of chondrocytes (production of Type II collagen)
4. Invasion of blood vessels (osteoprogenitor and hemopoietic cells)
5. Production of bone matrix on calcified cartilage.
Which cells lay down bone matrix on calcified cartilage model during bone development and growth?
Osteoblasts
What structure forms between the primary and secondary ossification centers?
Epiphyseal plate
Which region of a long bone permits growth throughout adolescence?
Epiphyseal plate
Describe the 4 zones of the epiphyseal plate.
1. Reserve (resting) zone--> source of new cells
2. Proliferative zone --> produce new cartilage matrix to lengthen bone
3. Hypertrophy and calcification zone ---> apoptosis occurs here to maintain width of epiphyseal plate
4. Ossification zone --> vascular invasion
In which zone of the epiphyseal plate is the cartilage matrix produced?
Proliferation zone
During bone growth at the epiphyseal plate, resorbed cartilage is replaced by...?
Trabecular (spongy) bone
(*Woven bone first, then lamellar bone later)
What type of growth occurs to increase bone width at the periosteum? (interstitial or appositional?)
Appositional
During bone remodeling, osteoclasts form ________ canals to form new osteons.
Resorption canals.
