    Study Notes

    Bone Overview

    • Bone is a specialized connective tissue forming the skeletal system, providing body support and organ protection.
    • It serves as a reservoir for calcium, phosphate, and other essential ions/metabolites.
    • Functions as a lever system to amplify forces, aiding in bodily movements during contractions.

    Osteocytes

    • Osteocytes are the most abundant cells in bone, enclosed within lacunae in a matrix network.
    • They extend dendritic processes through canaliculi, forming a lacunar-canalicular network for communication and mechanosensing.
    • Act as mechanosensors, detecting mechanical loads and signaling necessary adjustments to the bone matrix.

    Osteoclasts

    • Multinucleated giant cells responsible for the resorption and remodeling of calcified bone matrix.

    Bone Coverings

    • Periosteum: The outer connective tissue covering comprising dense connective tissue, osteoprogenitor cells, and blood vessels that aid in bone repair.
    • Endosteum: A thinner inner covering containing osteoprogenitor cells and collagen fibers, supporting bone health and repair.

    Bone Growth and Remodelling

    • Significant capacity for self-repair due to the presence of osteoprogenitor stem cells, blood vessels, and a well-vascularized structure.
    • Endochondral ossification involves the replacement of hyaline cartilage with bone, forming the majority of bones, especially long bones.

    Ossification Centers

    • Primary Ossification Center located in the diaphysis, develops during the first trimester.
    • Secondary Ossification Center appears in the epiphyses at the time of birth, completing epiphyseal closure by age 20.

    Articular Cartilage

    • Hyaline cartilage persists in adult life at joint surfaces, crucial for joint health and related to conditions like osteoarthritis.

    Hyaline Cartilage

    • Most common cartilage form found in articular surfaces, rib ends, epiphyseal plates, and respiratory passages.
    • ECM is homogeneous, glassy, and rich in type II collagen with abundant proteoglycans; perichondrium present except in specific locations.

    Fibrocartilage

    • Combination of hyaline cartilage and dense connective tissue, contains small chondrocytes and type I collagen.
    • Found in regions subjected to tensile forces, such as intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis, acting as cushions and shock absorbers.
