Study Notes

Bone Formation

Osteoblasts are responsible for producing the organic matrix of bone (osteoid)
Osteoid is comprised of type I collagen, type V collagen, proteoglycans and noncollagenous proteins
Osteoblasts secrete collagen and other matrix components into extracellular spaces
Osteoblasts form a layer over the forming bone surface
Mineralization Front
- Noncollagenous proteins like bone sialoprotein, osteopontin accumulate in forming bone and aid in its mineralization
Osteoblasts become flattened and extend along the bone surface when bone formation ceases, becoming bone lining cells
Bone lining cells cover most surfaces in the adult skeleton

Bone Structure

Bone is comprised of:
- Circumferential Lamellae
  - Form the outer and inner perimeters of bone
- Concentric Lamellae
  - Make up the bulk of compact bone
  - Form osteons (Haversian systems)
- Interstitial Lamellae
  - Fragments of preexisting concentric lamellae, interspersed between adjacent concentric lamellae
  - Fill the spaces between osteons
Osteon is a cylinder of bone oriented parallel to the long axis of the bone
Haversian Canal
- Located at the center of an osteon
- Contains blood vessels and nerves
- Lined by a single layer of bone cells that cover the bone surface
- Connected to other Haversian Canals by Volkmann Canals
Periosteum
- Connective tissue membrane that surrounds the outer aspect of every compact bone
- Two layers:
  - Fibrous Layer
    - Dense, irregular connective tissue
  - Inner Layer
    - Contains bone cells, their precursors, and a rich microvascular supply
Endosteum
- Covers the internal surfaces of compact and cancellous bone
- Consists of loose connective tissue containing osteogenic cells

Bone Cell Types & Function

Osteoblasts
- Mononucleated cells that synthesize the organic matrix of bone
- Arise from pluripotent stem cells:
  - Mesenchymal origin in the axial and appendicular skeleton
  - Ectomesenchymal origin in the head
- Exhibit high levels of alkaline phosphatase activity
- Contribute to the initiation and growth of bone mineral crystals
Osteocytes
- Mature bone cells that become trapped in the matrix they secrete
- Have a role in bone remodeling and repair of microcracks
- Connect with adjacent osteocytes and osteoblasts to control mineral homeostasis
- Occupy spaces called osteocytic lacunae with extensions that run through canaliculi
Osteoclasts
- Multinucleated cells responsible for bone resorption
- Reside within depressions called Howship's lacunae that they create
- Exhibit ruffled borders and sealing zones
  - Ruffled Border: deep folds of the cell membrane adjacent to the bone surface
  - Sealing Zone: peripheral to the ruffled border, isolates a microenvironment between the cell and the bone surface

Hormonal Regulation of Bone Metabolism

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)
- Enhances bone resorption at high concentrations
- Supports bone formation at lower concentrations
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D
- Enhances bone resorption at high concentrations
- Supports bone formation at lower concentrations
Calcitonin
- Inhibits bone resorption
Estrogen
- Inhibits bone resorption
Glucocorticoids
- Inhibit bone resorption and formation, but primarily formation
