small intestine (Na-Pi IIb)

Physiology of Bone
?Bone is a living tissue
?It is a specialized connective tissue
?Compact bone -30% matrix(framework)

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

& 70% salts
?Organic matrix :90-95% collagen fibers,mainly type1

&Groundsubstance (ECF+Proteoglycans).
?Bone salts:Hydroxypatites{Ca10(PO4)(OH)2}

Bone formation

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? During fetal development bone formation

occurs by:

Enchondral bone Intramembranous bone

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

formation(majority) formation e.g.; clavicle,
mandible, certain bones of
skull.

Bone formation by osteoblasts

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

?Osteoid formation (95% collagen+5% proteoglycan) by

osteoblasts.
?Osteoid is secreated towards the interior of bone.
?Precipitation of calcium and phosphate on surface of

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

collagen (mineralization)
?Formation of hydroxyapatite , Ca10 (PO4)6(OH)2,

crystals (Ca:P:: 1.3-2)

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Magnesium, sodium, potassium, and carbonate ions are also

present among the bone salts
? Collagen :tensile strength;

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? hydroxypatite : compressional strength
?Deposition and absorption of bone--remodeling of

bone
?Bone deposition and absorption are normally in

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

equilibrium.
?Continual physical stress stimulates osteoblastic

deposition and calcification of bone.

Bone Remodelling

Bone deposition & Bone resorption.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Requires 3 types of cells.
?Osteoblasts: secrete extracellular organic matrix

within which calcium phosphate crystal precipitate.
?Osteocyte: Retired osteoblast imprisoned within

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

bony wall around them.
?Osteoclasts: Resorb bone by secreting acids &

enzymes.They are cells of mononuclear phygocytic

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

system.
Mechanism of bone resorbtion

? Osteoclasts attaches to the part of bone

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

to be reabsorbed by integrins .

Forms "sealing zone"

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Proton pump(H+ dependent ATPases)migrate

From endosomes to the cell membrane.

Ph to 4 in this zone

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Contd.

? The acidic pH dissolves hydroxypatite,

And proteases breakdown collagen.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Ca, P,and collagen breakdown products are

released into the interstitial fluid.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

?Hydroxyproline is an index of bone resorbtion.

Factors controlling bone formationand

resorbtion

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? GH, IGF, insulin, estrogen, testosterone, vit D ,

calcitonin, PDGF, Stimulates bone

formation.

? Cortisol inhibits bone formation.
? Parathormone, cortisol,thyroxine,PGs,IL-1&6,
TNF, Stimulates bone resorbtion.

ECF hydroxypatite crystals fail to precipitate in other

tissues........... Why?

?Factors that control bone formation and resorption?
Applied physiology

? Osteoporosis : decrease in bone mass and

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

density.

? Involutional osteoporosis

?Postmenopausal osteoporosis

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Causes:Hyperparathyroidism,Hyperthyroidism,

Cushing's syndrome ,vit c ,alcoholism,etc.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Treatment: Administeration of vit D and

calcium tablets.

Osteopetrosis
? There is defective increase in bone formation.
? Rare & often severe disease.
? Osteoclasts are defective, unable to resorb

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

bone in usual fashion so osteoblasts operate

unopposed.

? Neurological and hematological abnormalities.
