Study Notes
Bone Structure
- Mature lamellar bone is hard and strong, with collagen fibers arranged in parallel layers, while woven bone is soft and weak, with disorganized collagen fibers
- Lamellar bone is formed slowly and is present in trabeculae and cortical bone, while woven bone is produced quickly and is present at sites of rapid bone formation (e.g. fracture repair, inflammation, neoplasia)
Osteon and Haversian System
- Osteon is the functional unit of lamellar bone, consisting of circles of bone around a central canal (Haversian canal) and interstitial bone between the circles
- Haversian canal is seen at the center of each osteon, with Volkmann's canals running in bone and connecting Haversian canals
Bone Cells
- Osteoblasts produce osteoid (the organic component of bone matrix) and initiate its mineralization, and can become osteocytes
- Osteocytes reside in lacunae surrounded by mineralized matrix, with long filopods to increase their cell area
- Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption, residing in shallow pits (Howship's lacunae) and releasing acid hydrolases for extracellular digestion
Regulation of Bone Metabolism
- Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates bone resorption and promotes calcium absorption
- 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is required for normal bone growth and mineralization, and also stimulates bone resorption
- Calcitonin inhibits bone resorption
- Glucocorticoids inhibit bone formation and stimulate resorption
- Estrogen inhibits bone resorption
Bone Composition
- Osteoid (organic component) contains type I collagen, osteonectin, osteocalcin, proteoglycans, and growth factors
- Hydroxyapatite [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2] is the inorganic component of bone
Bone Development
- Intramembranous ossification occurs in flat bones of the skull and pelvis, and on all periosteal surfaces throughout life, responsible for growth in width
- Endochondral ossification occurs in most bones, preceded by hyaline cartilage, responsible for growth in length
Bone Blood Supply
- Blood enters the marrow cavity of bones through nutrient, metaphyseal, and epiphyseal arteries
- In young animals, the cortex is supplied mainly from the endosteal surface and exits via periosteal veins
- With age, the cortex becomes increasingly dependent on periosteal arteries
