Study Notes
Cells and Development of Bone
- There are three types of cells in bone tissue: osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts.
- Osteoblasts are bone-forming cells that secrete bone matrix, including collagen and calcium-binding proteins.
- Osteocytes are mature bone cells that monitor and maintain the bone matrix and respond to mechanical stimuli.
- Osteoclasts are responsible for actively breaking down bone minerals in a process called bone resorption.
- Bone development, or osteogenesis, begins as early as a few weeks after conception and continues into early adulthood.
- There are two types of bone formation: endochondral ossification, which replaces hyaline cartilage with bone, and intramembranous ossification, which develops bone from a fibrous membrane.
- Endochondral ossification forms most of the skeleton, while intramembranous ossification forms cranial bones and clavicles.
- Bone growth occurs through interstitial growth, which increases bone length, and appositional growth, which increases bone thickness.
- Interstitial growth requires the presence of an epiphyseal plate, which maintains a constant thickness as cartilage grows on one side and bone replaces it on the other.
- Appositional growth occurs throughout life, with osteoblasts adding bone matrix on the external surface and osteoclasts removing bone on the internal surface.
- Bone repair involves bone remodeling, where excess material is removed and compact bone is laid down to reconstruct the shaft walls.
- Hormonal control regulates blood calcium levels, with parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulating osteoclasts to release calcium and calcitonin lowering blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoblasts and inhibiting osteoclasts.
