Study Notes
Bone Cell Types
- Osteoprogenitor cells are stem cells that give rise to osteoblasts.
- Osteoblasts are responsible for secreting the extracellular matrix of bone.
- Osteocytes are mature bone cells that are surrounded by the extracellular matrix they secreted.
- Bone-lining cells are found on the bone surface when there is no active growth and are derived from osteoblasts.
- Osteoclasts are responsible for breaking down bone tissue during remodeling or repair.
Bone Formation
- Endochondral ossification is the process by which most bones develop from a cartilage model.
- Intramembranous ossification is the process by which some bones, like the flat bones of the skull, form directly from mesenchymal tissue without a cartilage precursor.
- Epiphyseal growth plates found at the ends of long bones are responsible for bone growth in length.
Endochondral Ossification
- Primary ossification center forms in the diaphysis (shaft) of the long bone.
- Secondary ossification centers form in the epiphyses (ends) of the long bone.
- Epiphyseal growth plate is a layer of cartilage between the primary and secondary ossification centers that allows for bone growth in length.
- The epiphyseal growth plate contains zones of:
- Reserve cartilage
- Proliferation
- Hypertrophy
- Calcified cartilage
- Resorption
General Structure of Bones
- Long bones have a tubular shape with two ends, called epiphyses, and a shaft, called diaphysis.
- Metaphysis is the junction between the diaphysis and epiphysis.
- Periosteum is a connective tissue membrane covering the outer surface of bones.
- Endosteum is a single layer of cells that lines the inner surface of bone cavities and contains osteoprogenitor cells.
Periosteum
- The periosteum has two layers:
- Outer fibrous layer: Dense connective tissue with collagen fibers.
- Inner cellular layer: Contains osteoprogenitor cells and osteoblasts.
Endosteum
- The endosteum is a thin membrane lining the inner surface of bone cavities.
- It contains osteoprogenitor cells and collagen fibers.
Bone Tissue
- Immature (woven) bone is formed during development and has a less organized arrangement of collagen fibers.
- Mature (lamellar) bone has a more organized arrangement of collagen fibers.
- Compact bone is the dense outer layer of bone.
- Spongy (cancellous) bone is a meshwork of trabeculae found within bone.
