100

compact bone is arranged in 

osteons

100

Where is spongy bone located?

interior of bones

100

Name one of the components of bone: 

specialized cells

100

Describe Osteoprogrenitors function &

Where they are located 

- stem cells (mesenchymal cells) that turn into osteoblasts 


-Periosteum,endosteum, and vascular pathways

100

What is the periosteum?

outer membrane surrounding bone 

200

What is the concentric lammellae

contains osteocytes in lacunae that are connected via canaliculi

200

Spongy bone is arranged in?

Trabeculae

200

Name one of the components that make up the bone:

Extracellular protein fibers 

200

Where are Osteoblasts located

& how they perform osteogenesis by secreting what?

-periosteum,endosteum,vascular pathways

Secrete: 

-osteoid

-bone sialoprotein: nucleus for apatite crystals of calcium phosphate, amyloid stimulate angiogenesis

-Osteocalcin: binds calcium to calcium phosphates for formation of apatite crystals 

.calcification: calcium minerals build up in soft tissue and harden 

.atherosclerosis: calcification of artery walls, may be caused by sialoprotein 

200

What is the periosteum made out of and what type of CT?

fibrous outer layer (dense irregular CT)

300

What are perforating canals?

penetrate lamella and act as a channel for blood vessels to reach deeper osteons

300
Is spongy bone light or heavy, and why? 

Light to reduce weight

300

What Extracellular protein fiber is found in the bone?

collagen

300

How are osteocytes formed and what are their functions?

What may osteocytes relate in attempt to do?

What receptors are found on osteocytes?

- formed by osteoblasts (once encased in lacunae) 

-connected via gap junctions in canaliculi

-osteocytes release nitric oxide which may: 

signal osteoprogenitor to turn into osteoblasts AND prevent osteoclast formation 

Receptors: 

PTH receptors- cause osteocyte apoptosis

Estrogen receptors- help keep osteoblasts and osteocytes alive by blocking signals that cause apoptosis. 

300

What fiber is found in Periosteum and what does it do?

Sharpey's perforating fibers extend into matrix 


-continous with tendons and ligaments 

400

What is circumferential lamellae?

are located on the outside of the compact bone. 

400

What does the spongy bone make up?

the marrow cavity 

400

Name one of the components that make up the bone.

Matrix 

400

What are Osteoclasts function and how do they perform osteolysis? 

- large cells with ruffled border

 - perform osteolysis by: 

-secreting H+ ions to acidify the matrix, which removes calcium phosphates from apatite crystals 

-endocytosing calcium phosphates and releasing them into blood via interstitial fluid 

400

what is another layer of the periosteum, and what does it contain?

cellular inner layer (osteoprogenitors, osteoblasts, osteoclasts) 

500

where is compact bone located? 

on the outside of the bone

500

Name the different marrow and what they store.

red marrow:

-hematopiesis

yellow marrow: 

-adipose storage

500

What makes up the matrix, and which is the the organic matrix and inorganic matrix and what do they consist of?

Osteiod (organic matrix) 


Minerals (calcium phosphates)

500

How is Osteoclastgogenesis performed?

proteins on fibroblasts and osteoblasts send signals to osteoclast precursors in the blood or bone marrow, telling them to turn into osteoclasts.

500

What does the Endosteum line, and what does it contain?

-Lines marrow cavity 


-contains: 

osteoprogenitors, osteoblasts, osteoclasts
