#1
Front (Question)

what does “tension” do to bones

Back (Answer)

causes deposition (addition)

#2
Front (Question)

what does “pressure” do to bones?

Back (Answer)

causes resorption (breakdown)

#3
Front (Question)

what two things are used in orthodontic treatment to move and realign the teeth?

Back (Answer)

tension and pressure

#4
Front (Question)

epiphysis

Back (Answer)

bulbous part of long bone that has hyaline cartilage that covers articulating surfaces

#5
Front (Question)

metaphysis

Back (Answer)

angled edge of epiphysis that leads to diaphysis

#6
Front (Question)

periosteum

Back (Answer)

• layer of connective tissue capsule that surrounds bone - comes in active or inactive form

#7
Front (Question)

active vs inactive periosteum

Back (Answer)

active- growing and has two distinct layers-outer fibrous layer and inner cellular layer inactive- not growing and has fibrous layer with reduced cellular inner layer due to the fact that it’s not growing

#8
Front (Question)

outer fibrous layer

Back (Answer)

• dense collagenous connective tissue • has blood vessels, nerves etc that reach bone via perforations • anchored into the bone via sharpey’s fibers

#9
Front (Question)

sharpey’s fibers

Back (Answer)

-collagenous bundle fibers that anchor the fibrous layer of the periosteum to the bone

#10
Front (Question)

inner cellular layer

Back (Answer)

• if covers an actively growing bone: contains OSTEOPROGENITOR CELLS that differentiate into osteoblasts that build bone on THE SURFACE OF BONE • if in inactive bone, it contains PERIOSTEAL CELLS that differentiate into osteoblasts during cell repair

#11
Front (Question)

periosteal cells

Back (Answer)

in inactive cellular layer of periosteum that differentiate into osteoblasts during bone repair

#12
Front (Question)

Where does the periosteum NOT cover

Back (Answer)

articulating bones

#13
Front (Question)

endosteum

Back (Answer)

• internal connective tissue capsule of the bone • contains a thin inner layer of osteoprogenitor cells that differentiate into BONE LINING CELLS OR OSTEOBLASTS • lines the bone marrow cavity, haversian canal and volkman canal as well as trabeculae of spongy bone

#14
Front (Question)

what gives bones its hardness?

Back (Answer)

-mineral deposits like calcium phosphate, bicarb, citrate, mg, Na, K

#15
Front (Question)

what does the organic part of bone consist of?

Back (Answer)

fibers and ground substance that prevent bone from GETTING BRITTLE

#16
Front (Question)

what are the fibers of the organic part of bone mainly made of? what does it do?

Back (Answer)

collagen type 1 (acidophilic)-stains pink prevents bone from getting brittle

#17
Front (Question)

what’s the ground substance of the organic part of bone made of?

Back (Answer)

1) proteoglycans with GAGs (hyaluronan, chondroitin sulfate, keratin sulfate that bind growth factors) 2) multiadhesive glycoproteins- osteonectin and sialoproteins 3) bone-specific, vitamin K dependent proteins 4) growth factors and cytokines

#18
Front (Question)

osteonectin

Back (Answer)

• multiadhesive proteins in ground substance of bone (in organic layer • serves as GLUE between collagen (organic) and hydroxyapatite crystals (mineral)(calcium phosphate) in ground organic substance of bone

#19
Front (Question)

sialoproteins

Back (Answer)

• osteopontin- helps bind cells to bone matrix - sialoproteins I and II– help bind cells to bone matrix AND begins calcium phosphate formation during mineralization

#20
Front (Question)

osteocalcin

Back (Answer)

• a bone-specific vitamin K dependent protein • traps calcium from the blood stream • stimulates osteoclasts to remodel bone

#21
Front (Question)

Growth factors and cytokines

Back (Answer)

• regulatory proteins • bone morphogenic proteins • induce mesenchymal cells to differentiate into osteoblasts • used following surgery (on large bone defects, spinal fusions etc) to simulate bone formation

#22
Front (Question)

osteoprogenitor cells

Back (Answer)

• arise from mesenchymal stem cells • resting and reserve cells • located: in mature inner layer of periosteum (called periosteal cells)- inactive • in endosteum- called endosteal cells

#23
Front (Question)

periosteal cells

Back (Answer)

inactive osteoprogenitor cells in the inner cellular layer of periosteum

#24
Front (Question)

what two things can osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into (via mitosis)?

Back (Answer)

osteoblasts and chondrogenic cells (in low O2)
