Study Notes
Bone Cells and Their Functions
- Osteoblasts: Matrix-synthesizing cells responsible for bone formation.
- Osteoclasts: Bone resorption cells that break down bone tissue.
- Osteocytes: Mature bone cells that maintain bone matrix and act as "housekeepers."
- Endosteal Lining Cells: Line internal bone surfaces; may develop from inactive osteoblasts.
- Bone Matrix Maintenance Cells: Former osteoblasts trapped in bone matrix, lose synthetic activity but transport materials within bones.
Extracellular Components of Bone Tissue
- Osteoid: Unmineralized organic part of bone matrix, made of interwoven type I collagen and bone matrix proteins.
- Hydroxyapatite: Mineral component formed from calcium phosphate that combines with osteoid to create hard bone.
- Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs): Enzymes that degrade the bone matrix, involved in remodeling.
- Lysyl Oxidase (LOX): Enzyme that crosslinks collagen, enhancing structural integrity.
Bone Formation Processes
Intramembranous Bone Formation
- Involves the direct ossification of mesenchymal tissue into bone.
- Osteoblasts secrete osteoid, forming compact bone layers parallel to the existing matrix.
Endochondral Bone Formation
- Cartilage Model Formation: Mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes, creating hyaline cartilage.
- Matrix Calcification: Chondrocytes enlarge, their matrix calcifies, leading to cell death.
- Vascularization and Bone Formation: Blood vessel invasion creates medullary cavities, osteoblasts form bone collar, initiates primary ossification.
Postnatal Growth of Bones
-
Growth Plate (Physis): Contains zones that reflect different stages of bone cell life.
- Resting Zone: Inactive chondrocytes, least differentiated state.
- Proliferative Zone: Chondrocytes multiply and align in columns.
- Hypertrophic Zone: Enlarging chondrocytes preparing for calcification.
- Calcification Zone: Calcified cartilage, leading to apoptosis and formation of lacunae filled by osteoproginators.
Appositional Growth
- Mechanism for increasing diameter/thickness of growing bone.
- Occurs in the outer bone surface and enlarges the medullary cavity inside.
Bone Modeling vs. Bone Remodeling
- Bone Modeling: Independent shaping and reshaping of existing bone, primarily occurs during skeletal growth.
- Bone Remodeling: Ongoing renewal and repair of bone tissue through resorption and formation. Observed in adult skeletom where renewal occurs every 10 years.
Bone Remodeling Unit (BRU)
- Microscopic location where osteoclasts and osteoblasts work sequentially on the same surface to remodel bone.
Secondary Ossification
- Begins shortly after birth in the epiphyses, forming secondary ossification centers.
- Epiphyseal plates ossify, resulting in the epiphyseal line; articular cartilage persists at joint surfaces.
Summary of Bone Growth Structures
- Long bones elongate through interstitial growth of the epiphyseal plate.
- The mature structure of long bones features epiphyseal lines, indicating previous growth activity.
