Aims and objectives
To define and identify the function and roles of each of the
following:
• Bone structure
• Cells in Bone
• Intramembraneous vs endochondral
2. Movement
dependent on avascular
Nutrition blood supply
collagen
aggrecan
Chondroitin
sulphate
glucosamine
Bone matrix = gold mine
of growth factors
FGFs - angiogenesis
PDGF - chemotaxis
Bone types - terminology
Based on location:
• Located on active
bone- forming surfaces
• Produce osteoid
• Initiate mineralisation
• Become bone lining
cells or osteocytes
The cells of bone: osteocytes
1. Membrane
Intramembraneous bone formation
2. Cartilage
Endochondral bone formation
3. Pre-existing bone
Intramembraneous bone formation

How to mend a fracture
1. Stop the blood flow
Stage 1: Haematoma
• Intermediate tissue
• Contains collagen fibres
• First new blood vessels
Stage 4: Soft callus (cartilage)
• differentiation to osteoblasts
periosteum
cartilaginous callus
• Bone structure
• Cells in Bone
• Intramembraneous vs endochondral
