Bone Tissue. Dynamic tissue, continually remodels Bone tissue (osseous tissue) a connective tissue with a matrix hardened by minerals bones make up the skeletal system Functions of the skeletal system
E N D
Bone Tissue • Dynamic tissue, continually remodels • Bone tissue (osseous tissue) • a connective tissue with a matrix hardened by minerals • bones make up the skeletal system • Functions of the skeletal system • support, protection, movement, blood formation, mineral reservoir, and pH balance
Structure of a Flat Bone • Surfaces of flat bone are composed of compact bone • Middle layer is spongy bone. No marrow cavity
Cells of Osseous Tissue • Osteoprogenitor (osteogenic) cells reside in endosteum and periosteum • Osteoblasts form organic matter (__________) of matrix & help to mineralize it with calcium phosphate • Osteocytes are osteoblasts that have become trapped • reside in _______ and connected to each other by __________ • signal osteoclasts & osteoblasts about mechanical stress
Cells of Osseous Tissue • Osteoclasts develop in bone marrow by the fusion of the same stem cells that give rise to __________________ • Osteolysis within resorption bays
Matrix of Osseous Tissue • Dry weight is 1/3 organic & 2/3 inorganic matter • Organic matter • collagen, glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans & glycoproteins • Inorganic matter • 85% _______________________________________ • 10% calcium carbonate • other minerals • Combination provides for strength & resilience • minerals resist compression; collagen resists tension
Compact Bone • Osteons or haversian systems • cylinders of tissue formed from layers of matrix concentrically arranged around a blood vessel • ______________ are the individual layers • osteocytes connected to each other and the haversian blood supply by tiny cell processes • Perforating canals or Volkmann canals • branches from nutrient arteries that run perpendicular to the haversian canals • Circumferential or outer lamellae
Spongy (Cancellous) Bone • Spongelike appearance - trabeculae • spaces filled with red bone marrow • Trabeculae have few haversian systems • Provides strength with little weight • trabeculae develop along bone’s lines of stress
Bone Marrow • Soft tissue within the medullary cavity of a long bone or the spaces amid the trabeculae of spongy bone • Red marrow looks like thick blood • mesh of reticular fibers and immature cells • _________________________ • in adults found in axial skeleton & girdles • Yellow marrow • marrow of long bones in adults consisting mostly of _________________________
Intramembranous Ossification • Produces flat bones of skull and mandible • Steps of the process • mesenchyme condenses • osteoprogenitor cells • osteoblast form osteid • minerals deposited • osteocytes • osteoclasts remodel center & osteoblasts remodel surface • mesenchyme - periosteum
Endochondral Ossification • Primary ossification center forms in cartilage model • chondrocytes near the center swell (______________) • bony collar formations • forms primary ossification center • Marrow space formed by periosteal bud • osteogenic cells invade & transform into osteoblasts • osteoid tissue deposited and calcified into trabeculae; at same time osteoclasts work to enlarge the primary marrow cavity
Metaphysis • Transitional zone between diaphysis and epiphysis • Five zones of activity • reserve cartilage • cell proliferation • cell hypertrophy • calcification • bone deposition
Bone Growth and Remodeling • Grow and remodel themselves throughout life • growing brain or starting to walk • athletes or manual laborers have ↑ bone density & mass • Cartilage grows by appositional & interstitial growth • Can bone increase in length by interstitial growth? • Bones increase in width by _________________________growth • if one process outpaces the other, bone deformities occur
Mineral Deposition • Mineralization - certain ions are removed from blood plasma & deposited in bone tissue • Steps of mineralization • osteoblasts produce ____________ fibers that spiral along the length of the osteon in alternating directions • fibers become encrusted with minerals hardening matrix • ion concentration must reach the solubility product for crystal formation to occur & then positive feedback forms more • Ectopic ossification is abnormal calcification • may occur in _________________________________
Mineral Resorption • Process of dissolving bone & releasing minerals into the blood • performed by __________________ • hydrogen pumps in cell membrane secrete hydrogen ions • chloride ions follow by electrical attraction • hydrochloric acid & a low pH dissolve bone minerals • enzymes (acid phosphatase, cathepin K) digest the collagen • Braces reposition teeth • stimulating osteoclasts & osteoblasts to remodel jaw
Functions of Calcium & Phosphate • Phosphate is a component of DNA, RNA, ATP, phospholipids, & acid-base buffers • Calcium is needed for communication between neurons, muscle contraction, blood clotting & exocytosis
Ion Imbalances • Changes in phosphate conc. have little effect • Changes in calcium can be serious • hypocalcemia is deficiency of blood calcium • causes excessive excitability of nervous system leading tomuscle spasms, tremors or tetanus • calcium normally contributes to resting membrane potential • hypercalcemia • excessive calcium at cell surface makes sodium channels less likely to open, depressing nervous system • Homeostasis depends on calcitriol, calcitonin & PTH
Calcitriol Synthesis & Action Lack of this leads to Rickets or Osteomalacia
Calcitonin • Secreted by C cells of the ______________ gland when calcium concentration rises too high • Functions • reduces osteoclast activity quickly • increases calcium loss by kidneys • Important role in children, but little effect in adults • calcitonin deficiency does not cause any adult diseases
Parathyroid Hormone • Secreted by the parathyroid glands • Released when calcium blood level is too ______ • Functions • inhibits activity of ____________________ • stimulates osteoclast multiplication & activity • reduces calcium secretion & increases phosphate secretion in the urine • stimulates the production of an enzyme in the kidneys that carries out the last step in calcitriol synthesis
Healing of Fractures • Normally healing takes 8 - 12 weeks • Stages of healing • fracture hematoma (1) • broken vessels form a blood clot • granulation tissue (2) • fibrous tissue formed by fibroblasts & infiltrated by capillaries • callus formation (3) • soft callus of fibrocartilage replaced by hard callus of bone in 6 weeks • remodeling (4) • occurs over next 6 months as spongy bone is replaced with compact bone
Healing of Fractures 1 2 3 4
Osteoporosis • Most common bone disease • Bones lose mass & become brittle • loss of organic matrix & minerals • ____________________ - most risk • by age 70, average BM loss is 30% • Best treatment is prevention -- exercise & calcium intake (1000 mg/day) between ages 25 and 40 • Drugs • HTR • Fosamax • Statins
