Bone is formed of
 Bone cells
 Bone matrix
 Perisoteum
 Endosteum
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 2
Bone cells
 Osteoprogenitor cells
 Osteoblast
 Osteocyte
 Osteoclast
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 3
Bone matrix
Organic component
1- Collagenous fibers : type one collagen
2- Ground substance
Mucopolysaccarides, osteocalcin, osteopontin
In organic component
 Ca, Phosphorus form (OH) apatite crystals
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 4
Histologic features of bone
■ Types
• Normal bone: lamellar or mature; either cortical or
cancellous
• Immature and pathologic bone:
woven; more random, more osteocytes, increased
turnover, weaker
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 5
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 6
Cortical (compact) bone
• Constitutes 80% of the skeleton
• Consists of tightly packed osteons or haversian
systems
• Connected by haversian (or Volkmann) canals
• Contains arterioles, venules, capillaries, nerves,
possibly lymphatic channels
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 7
• Interstitial lamellae: between osteons
• Fibrils connect lamellae but do not cross cement lines.
• Cement lines define the outer border of an osteon.
• Bone resorption has stopped and new bone formation has begun.
• Nutrition provided by intraosseous circulation through canals and
canaliculi (cell processes of osteocytes)
• Characterized by
 slow turnover rate,
 higher Young’s modulus of elasticity,
 more stiffness
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 8
Cancellous bone (spongy or trabecular bone)
• Less dense, more remodeling according to lines of
stress (Wolff’s law)
• Characterized by
 high turnover rate,
 smaller Young’s modulus,
 more elasticity
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 9
Cellular biology
I- Osteoprogenitor cells
 Falt cells. Falt nucleus, pale basophilic cytoplasm
 Arises from pericytes around the caplillaries
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 10
Cellular biology
Osteoblasts
• Appear as cuboid cells aligned in layers along immature osteoid
• Derived from undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells
• Have more endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and
mitochondria than do other cells (for synthesis and secretion of
matrix) Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 11
• RUNX2 is a multifunctional transcription factor that directs
mesenchymal cells to the osteoblast lineage.
• Bone surfaces lined by more differentiated, metabolically active
cells
• “Entrapped cells”: less active cells in “resting regions”; maintain
the ionic milieu of bone
• Disruption of the active lining cell layer activates entrapped cells.
Osteoblast has two main functions:
• Form bone
• Regulate osteoclastic activityMohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 12
• Osteoblasts produce the following:
• Alkaline phosphatase
• Osteocalcin (stimulated by 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D)
• Type I collagen
• Bone sialoprotein
• Receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand
(RANKL)
• Osteoprotegrin—binds RANKL to limit its activity
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 13
Osteoblast activity is stimulated by intermittent (pulsatile)
exposure to parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Osteoblast activity is inhibited by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α
• Wnts are proteins that promote osteoblast survival and
proliferation.
• Deficient wnts causes osteopenia; excessive wnt
expression causes high bone mass.
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 14
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 15
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 16
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 17
Osteocytes
• Maintain bone
• Constitute 90% of the cells in the mature skeleton
• Former osteoblasts surrounded by newly formed matrix
 High nucleus/cytoplasm ratio
 Long interconnecting cytoplasmic processes projecting through the
canaliculi
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 18
 Less active in matrix production than are osteoblasts
 Important for control of extracellular calcium and phosphorus
concentration
 Directly stimulated by calcitonin, inhibited by PTH
 Sclerostin secreted by osteocytes helps negative feedback on
osteoblasts’ bone deposition
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 19
Osteoclasts
Formation
• Multinucleated irregular giant cells
• Derived from hematopoietic cells in macrophage lineage
• Monocyte progenitors form giant cells by fusion
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 20
Osteoclast Function
 Resorb bone
 Synthesize tartrate-resistant acid phosphate
 Bind to bone surfaces through cell attachment
(anchoring) proteins
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 21
Bone resorbtion
which occurs both normally and in certain conditions including multiple myeloma
and metastatic bone disease
• Possess a ruffled (“brush”) border and surrounding clear zone
• Border consists of plasma membrane enfoldings that increase surface area for
resorption.
Bone resorption occurs in depressions: Howship lacunae.
• Formation and resorption are linked (“coupled”).
• Resorption occurs more rapidly
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 22
Osteoclasts
• Produce hydrogen ions through carbonic anhydrase
• Lower PH
• Increase solubility of hydroxyapatite crystals
• Organic matrix then removed by proteolytic
digestion through activity of the lysosomal enzyme
cathepsin K
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 23
Control and function of the osteoclast. OPG, Osteoprotegerin; PTH, parathyroid hormone;
RANKL, receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand; Vit, vitamin.
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 24
Osteoblasts (and tumor cells) express RANKL which acts as
follows:
• Binds to receptors on osteoclasts
• Stimulates differentiation into mature osteoclasts
• Increases bone resorption
• Inhibited by osteoprotegerin binding to RANKL
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 25
Bisphosphonates
• Inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption—direct anabolic
effect on bone , so it is used for the treating Osteoporosis
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 26
Tissues surrounding bone
Periosteum :
Outer fibrous layer : Connective tissue membrane covers
bone.
• More highly developed in children
• is less cellular and is contiguous with joint capsules.
 Protection, nutrition, attachment of tendons, ligaments,
muscles
Inner cellular layer , or cambium, is loose and vascular
and contains cells capable of becoming osteoblasts.
• Cells enlarge the diameter of bone during growth
and form periosteal callus during fracture healing.
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 27
Endosteum
 It lines the bone marrow cavity ,
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 28
T.S in Decalcified Cortical bone
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 29
Cortical bone
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 30
Cancellous bone
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 31
Development of the bone
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 32
1- Intramembranous ossification
Mesenchymal CT is converted to bone without passing through
cartilagenous stage ,
occur in flat, short, irregular bone
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 33
2- Endochondral ossification
Mohamed Attia MD, Ph.D 34
