Study Notes

Bone Tissue

  • Bone tissue is a type of connective tissue that provides structural support and protection to the body.
  • It is composed of:
    • Osteocytes (mature bone cells)
    • Osteoblasts (bone-forming cells)
    • Osteoclasts (bone-resorbing cells)
    • Bone matrix (organic and inorganic components)

Bone Matrix

  • Organic component (30%):
    • Collagen fibers (type I)
    • Proteoglycans
    • Glycoproteins
  • Inorganic component (70%):
    • Hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate crystals)
    • Calcium and phosphate ions

Bone Cells

Osteocytes

  • Mature bone cells
  • Embedded in lacunae (small cavities) within the bone matrix
  • Responsible for bone maintenance and repair
  • Communicate with each other through canaliculi (small channels)

Osteoblasts

  • Bone-forming cells
  • Derived from mesenchymal stem cells
  • Responsible for bone growth and development
  • Produce osteoid (unmineralized bone matrix)

Osteoclasts

  • Bone-resorbing cells
  • Derived from hematopoietic stem cells
  • Responsible for bone remodeling and resorption
  • Contain lysosomes and release acid to dissolve bone matrix

Bone Structure

  • Compact bone:
    • Dense, compact layers of bone tissue
    • Found in shafts of long bones
  • Cancellous bone:
    • Spongy, porous bone tissue
    • Found in ends of long bones and flat bones
  • Bone surfaces:
    • Periosteum (outer layer)
    • Endosteum (inner layer)

Bone Development and Remodeling

  • Bone development:
    • Intramembranous ossification (direct bone formation)
    • Endochondral ossification (bone formation through cartilage templates)
  • Bone remodeling:
    • Resorption of old bone tissue
    • Formation of new bone tissue
    • Process regulated by hormones and growth factors

Bone Tissue

  • Provides structural support and protection to the body
  • Composed of osteocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone matrix

Bone Matrix

Organic Component

  • 30% of bone matrix
  • Consists of collagen fibers (type I), proteoglycans, and glycoproteins

Inorganic Component

  • 70% of bone matrix
  • Composed of hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate crystals), calcium, and phosphate ions

Bone Cells

Osteocytes

  • Mature bone cells embedded in lacunae within bone matrix
  • Responsible for bone maintenance and repair
  • Communicate with each other through canaliculi

Osteoblasts

  • Bone-forming cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells
  • Responsible for bone growth and development
  • Produce osteoid (unmineralized bone matrix)

Osteoclasts

  • Bone-resorbing cells derived from hematopoietic stem cells
  • Responsible for bone remodeling and resorption
  • Contain lysosomes and release acid to dissolve bone matrix

Bone Structure

Compact Bone

  • Dense, compact layers of bone tissue
  • Found in shafts of long bones

Cancellous Bone

  • Spongy, porous bone tissue
  • Found in ends of long bones and flat bones

Bone Surfaces

  • Outer layer: periosteum
  • Inner layer: endosteum

Bone Development and Remodeling

Bone Development

  • Intramembranous ossification: direct bone formation
  • Endochondral ossification: bone formation through cartilage templates

Bone Remodeling

  • Resorption of old bone tissue
  • Formation of new bone tissue
  • Regulated by hormones and growth factors
