tissues that stabilize and interconnect bones!Functions!
1. Support (physical and physiological)!2. Storage of minerals and lipids!3. Blood cell production (hemopoiesis)!4. Protection (of soft parts)!5. Leverage (with muscles)!

you are using in lab. See Table 6-2, page 181.

SECTION 6-3 !Bone is composed of a matrix and several types of cells!
14
Bone = bone cells + mineralized intercellular matrix containing fibers!
Mineral salts in matrix!• Provide compressional strength!
Resist crushing forces• Act like concrete in a sidewalk!• Calcium phosphate (Ca3PO4) – forms
hydroxyapatite!• Calcium carbonate, ions also present!

15
Osseous Tissue – Matrix and Fibers !
Proteoglycans in ground substance of matrix!• Hydrophilic!• May help regulate bone’s water content, fiber
formation!Fibers within the matrixCollagen fibers in matrix!• Provide tensile strength!
Resist twisting, bending forces• Act like rebar in a concrete floor!

Bone Cell Types Figure 6-4!
Osteogenic cell = osteoprogenitor cell

17
Osteoprogenitor (Osteogenic) Cells!
• Are stem cells (-progenitor = “gives rise to”)!• Derived from mesenchyme (like all CT)!
Mitosis + differentiation → osteoblasts!Found in:!• Osteogenic layer of periosteum!• Endosteum!• Canals containing blood vessels!
Haversian (central) canals!Volkmann’s (perforating) canals!
18
Osteoblasts!
Build new bone (-blast = “germ” or “bud”)!Derived from osteoprogenitors!• Not capable of mitosis (in G0)!• Synthesize new matrix = osteoid!
!Osteoid = collagen fibers and proteoglycans!• Becomes mineralized (next slide)!• Minerals accumulate in spaces between
collagen fibers; deposited on fibers!• Formation of new bone = osteogenesis!
Chapter 6 - Bone!
10!
19
Osteoblasts - Mineralization!
A high enough [Ca2+] exists in ECF that mineralization should occur spontaneously!• Normally prevented by pyrophosphate in ECF!
ATP → AMP + PPi (pyrophosphate)!1. When o’blasts (and other cells) release
pyrophosphate, ossification is prevented.!2. When o’blasts release alkaline phosphatase
from matrix vesicles, ossification occurs!• Alkaline phosphatase is thought to overcome
the inhibitory effect by cleaving (breaking) pyrophosphate!

Osteocytes - 1!
Mature bone cells!• Derived from o’blasts!• Not capable of mitosis (in G0)!• Live in lacunae – o’blasts wall themselves in!• Cytoplasmic extensions of cell body found in
canaliculi (“little canals”)!• Gap junctions interconnect osteocytes!
22
Osteocytes - 2!
Functions: !1. Maintain local area of matrix!
• Do not secrete matrix (or only a tiny bit)!2. Help in fracture repair!
• Can revert to osteoblast or osteoprogenitor when released from lacuna by a fracture!

are osteons not necessary in spongy bone?)!(Hint: Fick’s equation)!

SECTION 6-5 !Ossification and appositional growth are mechanisms of bone formation and enlargement!
Chapter 6 - Bone!
19!
37
Methods of Ossification!
Ossification types:!• Intramembranous ossification!• Endochondral ossification!
Both methods:!• Begin with a connective tissue model!• Lead to same end product!
!Major difference between the two methods:!• CT model used as starting material!
38
Model = fibrous CT Begins at ossification center!• Mesenchyme cells → o’progenitors →
o’blasts!• O’blasts secrete osteoid!• Mineralization occurs!• Trabeculae (dermal bone) produced!
May be remodeled into compact bone!!Flat bones of skull, clavicle and mandible!

Cartilage model is gradually replaced by bone!Interstitial growth!• Increase in bone length• Involves expansion of cartilage!
Appositional growth!• Increase in bone diameter• Add new cartilage (or bone, later) to surface!

Endochondral Ossification (1 of 5) !
“Step 1”!A. Chondrocytes in midsection hypertrophy
(enlarge), mature!B. Cells burst → ↑pH → calcification!
(Note that this is opposite of osteoclasts’ mechanism for breaking down bone!)!
C. Nearby chondrocytes die (↓ diffusion)!D. Thin-walled cavities left behind!E. Walls calcify!
44
Endochondral Ossification (2 of 5)!
“Step 2”!A. Vessels grow around shaft!• O’progenitors in perichondrium → o’blasts!• Form periosteal collar (bone)!
Chapter 6 - Bone!
23!
45
Endochondral Ossification (3 of 5)!
“Step 3”!• Nutrient artery penetrates shaft through
periosteum (nutrient foramen)!• Fibroblasts migrating with blood vessels →
o’blasts !• Replace calcified cartilage with spongy bone
in primary ossification center of shaft!• Ossification spreads towards ends of
cartilage model!
46
Endochondral Ossification (4 of 5)!
“Step 4”!• Remodeling occurs!• O’clasts break down trabeculae → marrow
cavity!Also:!• Length increases - interstitial growth!• Diameter increases - appositional growth!
Chapter 6 - Bone!
24!
47
Endochondral Ossification (5 of 5)!
“Step 5”!• Vessels penetrate epiphyses!• Secondary ossification center begins forming!
“Step 6”!• Epiphyses fill with spongy bone!• Cartilage remains as:!
Articular cartilage!Epiphyseal cartilage!

DIAPHYSIS OF BONE!
Reserve cartilage!• Anchors plate to epiphysis!• Does not participate in bone
growth!Proliferating cartilage!
• Mitosis occurring!Maturing cartilage!
• Maturing after division!Hypertrophic cartilage!
• Cells enlarging!• Enlargement pushes plate up !• Calcification begins!
Osteogenic zone!• Ossification occurring!• Cements plate to diaphysis!• Osteoblasts lay down bone on
calcified matrix!• Produces spongy bone first

Plate growth stimulated by:!• Growth hormone (insulin-like growth factors)!• Thyroid hormones!• Glucocorticoids!• Insulin!• Sex hormones at puberty!
Plate closure stimulated by:• Estrogen important in both sexes!

SECTION 6-7 !Exercise, hormones and nutrition affect bone development and the skeletal system!
Chapter 6 - Bone!
27!
53
Bone remodeling!
Changes in bone structure result from:!• Exercise!• Hormone levels!
• Growth hormone and thyroxine increase bone mass!
• Calcitonin and PTH control blood calcium levels, affect bone mass!
• Nutrition (e.g. Ca2+ intake)!
Bone Is Constantly Changing!
54
Bone responds to physical stress!• Compact bone is located where stresses are
limited in direction!• Spongy is bone located where stresses are
weaker or multi-directional!• Remodeling takes place throughout life!

56
The Piezoelectric Effect!
The Piezoelectric effect during exercise may be part of bone’s response to stress :!• Stress on a crystal generates an electrical
field!• Bone contains crystals = hydroxyapatite• Electrical field thought to call osteoblasts to
points of stress!Lay down new bone → ↑ strength!!
Certain extracellular proteins are also thought to be involved in the stress → growth response!

SECTION 6-8 !Calcium plays a critical role in bone physiology!
58
Skeleton contains 99% of body’s calcium!
Blood [Ca2+] is maintained by bone, the GI tract and the kidneys!
Calcitonin and PTH regulate blood calcium levels!• Calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels!• PTH increases blood calcium levels!
