Cards

Term
Osteoblast
Definition
Synthesize osteoid (unmineralized matrix)
Align into sheaths on surface of bone, connected by gap junctions
Suppress deposition in response to PTH
Term
Osteocyte
Definition
Are located in Lacunae surrounded by bone and are derived from osteoblasts (that have surrounded themselves with bone).
connect to eachother and haversian canal by canaliculi
Term
Osteon
Definition
haversian canal with circumferential layers of bone
Term
osteocytic osteolysis
Definition
Ability of osteocyte to both reabsorb and produce osteoid.
Term
Bone Lining cells
Definition
squamous layer of cells on all bone surfaces not covered by osteoblasts.
The quiescent form of osteoblasts
Term
Osetoprogenitor cells
Definition
Bipotential mesenchyme stem cells that can become osteoblasts or chondroblasts.
Reside either in the marrow cavity, within the haversian canal, or the inner cellular layer of the periosteum
Term
Osteoclast
Definition
Large multinucleated cell for bone resorption (derived from monocytes)
Polarized
Term
Howships lacunae
Definition
subosteoclastic compartment that osteoclast sits atop of
Term
Ruffled border
Definition
Side of osteoclast that faces the howships lacunae that has many basal enfoldings.
Many H+, Cl- channels and ATPases
Term
Clear/sealing zone
Definition
on either side of the ruffled border
Rich in actin and integrins for linkage to bone surface
Term
Basal zone
Definition
Opposite of ruffled border that has Cl/HCO3 exchanger to maintain intracellular ionic balance
Term
Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Definition
Secreted in response to low blood Ca++.
Inhibits osteoblasts and stimulates them to secrete osteoclast stimulating factor
Term
RANKL
Definition
Ligand produced by osteoblasts to stimulate preosteoclasts to differentiate into osteoclasts
Term
Calcitonin
Definition
Secreted by parfilicullar cells (of thyroid) in response to high blood Ca++
Directly inhibits osteoclasts
Term
Intramembranous bone formation
Definition
formed directly from condensation of well vascularized mesenchyme without the pre-existing cartilage model
Term
Endochondral Bone formation
Definition
bone formed in relation to a cartilage model
Term
Woven (Primary) vs. Lamellar (secondary)
Definition
Woven Bone is:
more cellular
more ground substance and less collagen
grows and reabsorbs more rapidly
mineralizes more rapidly but less completely
Term
Matrix vesicle
Definition
secreted by hypertrophied chondrocytes (in endochondral bone formation) to increase the amount of phosphate Ca++ crystals
enventually burst to give up crystals
Term
Type X collagen
Definition
Secreted by hypertrophied chondrocyte.
Binds to existing type II collagen (of cartilage) and then binds the mineral cyrstals
forms a temporary mineralization for osteoblasts to situate on
Term
primary ossification center
Definition
Forms in the diaphysis of an endochondral bone and is where bone matrix is initially layed down on scaffolding
Term
Secondary ossification center
Definition
Forms postnatally in the ends of long bones and projections of vertebrae.
Term
epiphyseal plate
Definition
layer of hyaline cartilage between the primary and secondary centers of ossification
Term
Zones of the epiphyseal plate
Definition
Zone of Resting Cartilage
Zone of proliferation
Zone of hypertrophy and maturation
Zone of calcification and degeneration
Zone of reabsorbtion and ossification
Term
Bone Modeling
Definition
Alteration of size/shape of bone by the simultaneous bone formation and reabsorption on different surfaces
Term
Bone Remodeling
Definition
The replacement of old/woven/structurally inferior bone by a sequence of resorption and production of new lamellar bone
Term
Callus
Definition
first immature woven bone laid down at fracture, it is weaker but compensates by being lager in diameter.
Eventually replaced by lamellar bone.
