Bone Tissue

To do list for today

•general features of bone – parts• bone histology = cells + matrix• Vitamin D, calcium & bones• structural disorders of bone

• osteoporosis

Why dissolve bone??

Bone matrix• 1/3 organic = flexibility

• collagen• protein-carbo complexes

• 2/3 inorganic = strength• calcium phosphate salt• magnesium, sodium, potassium…

•Osteogenesis imperfecta = impaired osteoblast function, collagen unorganized, brittle bones

Calcium and vitamin D• need vitamin D to absorb calcium in the small intestine• need UVB to make vitamin D

Deficient levels of vitamin D can cause soft bones. True or False Osteomalacia (rickets) = deficient vit D, soft bones

Bone deposition = resorption

Osteoporosis = porous bones

• decreased deposition• increased resorption• spongy bone affected

• bones become brittle• women > men

• less bone mass• lose it earlier & faster• decrease in estrogen

• build bone mass ???!

Drink milk?What about my latte milk?Does that count?

Things that affect bone resorption or deposition:• corticosteroids – reduce osteoblast activity increase osteoclast activity• estrogen & testosterone – increase osteoblast activity• caffeine – binds Ca so it’s excreted• smoking – decrease osteoblast production, impairs Ca absorption, interferes with ERT
