Chapter 6 Cartilage and Bone
Growth of cartilage • Interstitial growth • happens within cartilage • chondrocyte in lacuna undergoes mitosis • now two cells in one lacuna • cells called chondroblasts • chondroblasts secrete cartilage matrix, get pushed apart • lacuna forms around each cell, now called a chondrocyte • Happens widely during embryonic development, less as cartilage matures

Growth of cartilage • Appositional growth • • happens at edges of cartilage stem cells in perichondrium divide, create chondroblasts new chondroblasts start to secrete cartilage matrix new cells push apart, each forms own lacuna

New matrix formed at periphery Undifferentiated stem cells Committed cells differentiating into chondroblasts New cartilage matrix Older cartilage matrix Chondroblast secreting new matrix

Page 154 Paget’s disease of bone • Excessive osteoclast activity • osteoclasts are too large and too active, remove too much bone • Osteoblasts replace lost bone • New bone structurally unstable • more susceptible to deformation and fractures X-ray of a skull with osteitis deformans.

Osteocytes • Osteocytes in lacunae in matrix • maintain bone matrix • send information about stress on bone • communicate with each other through canaliculi • in spongy bone, osteocytes not in osteons

Case Study: Achondroplasia • Matt is a toddler who does not appear to be developing normally • Mentally he is normal, but he is very small. His head size is normal, but his arms and legs are very short and don’t appear to be growing normally
Ossification • AKA osteogenesis • formation and development of bone • Intramembranous ossification • produces flat bones of skull, some facial bones, part of clavicle • osteoid from osteoblasts becomes calcified • bone slowly becomes more organized, osteoblasts captured in matrix

Ossification • Endochondral ossification • • • produces most bones of skeleton chondroblasts secrete cartilage matrix chondrocytes trapped within matrix die, leaves holes in matrix cartilage matrix is calcified osteoblasts lay down calcium phosphate matrix, get trapped in matrix, etc. process continues until growth is complete (teenage years)

Page 160 Epiphyseal plates • When a person is growing, epiphysis and diaphysis are separate pieces • When bones stop growing longer, cartilage section calcifies, unites epiphysis and diaphysis (Left) the epiphyses are partially fused; likely age 15 to 23 (Right) No fusion; likely younger than 15 years of age.

Long bone development Fig. 6. 13 Bone deposited by osteoblasts Bone resorbed by osteoclasts Infant Child • Growth in length is interstitial growth • Growth in width is appositional growth • does not require cartilage matrix • osteoblasts created by cells in periosteum Young adult Adult
Case Study: Achondroplasia • What if the body doesn’t produce cartilage correctly? • Flat bones of head develop normally • osteoprogenitor cells continue to produce osteoblasts, which make osteoid • Long bones don’t develop normally • endochondral ossification can’t happen • osteoblasts get made, but don’t have cartilage matrix to lay calcium phosphate onto • bones don’t grow
Roloff family (Little People, Big World) Parents Matt and Amy and one son are achondroplasic dwarfs Other 3 children are average height
Bone remodeling • Happens throughout life • • maintains levels of calcium and phosphate in blood heals fractures responds to stresses (including running, weight training) increases size of bone attachment sites on bone • Osteoclasts remove bone, osteoblasts replace it • usually results in loss of bone density
