Introduction

Articular cartilage

Our adult skeleton forms from a larger number of developmental elements that are replaced and fuse. In development there are 2 separate signaling pathways for pattern formation and the formation of bone itself. Furthermore bone formation can be divided into 2 specific forms that occur in anatomically different regions. This practical class will describe the development and structure of bone and finish with a study of abnormalities associated with bone.

The image shown to the left shows a histological section through the developing lower limb at the level of a developing joint (knee), surrounding the developing bone is cartilage, skeletal muscles and connective tissue of the limb.

Chondroblasts and Chondrocytes

Immature and mature cartilage forming cells located at articular cartilage regions.

Interstitial growth

  • Occurs mainly in immature cartilage.
  • Chondroblasts in existing cartilage divide and form small groups of cells (isogenous groups) which produce matrix to become separated from each other by a thin partition of matrix.

Appositional growth

  • Occurs also in mature cartilage.
  • Mesenchymal cells surrounding the cartilage in the deep part of the perichondrium (or the chondrogenic layer) differentiate into chondroblasts.

Histology Stains

Alizarin Red

  • an anthraquinone derivative used to identify calcium in tissue sections
  • calcium forms an Alizarin Red S-calcium complex in a chelation process and the end product is also birefringent.
  • reaction can also identify magnesium, manganese, barium, strontium, and iron may interfere
    • these elements usually in too low concentration to interfere with the staining

H&E

  • acronym for hematoxylin and eosin stain
  • hematoxylin - basic dye which colors basophilic structures with blue-purple hue (nucleus, DNA, RNA)
  • eosin Y - acidic alcohol-based which colors eosinophilic structures bright pink (cytoplasm, extracellular matrix, protein)

H&Van Gieson

  • Van Gieson's Stain is a mixture of picric acid and acid fuchsin used for differential staining of collagen and other connective tissue.
    • Nuclei - stains brownish black to black
    • Collagen (fibrous connective tissue) - stains pink or deep red
    • Muscle, Cytoplasm, RBC and Fibrin - stains yellow

Terms

  • haematopoiesis (Greek, haima = "blood"; poiesis = "to make") the process of blood cell formation.
  • Howship's lacuna - (resorptive bay) the historic name for the shallow bay or cavity lying directly under an osteoclast. This is the site of bone matrix resorption.
  • lacuna - (Latin, lacuna = “ditch, gap” diminutive form of lacus = “lake”) lacunae is the plural, cavity in bone or cartilage for cell.
  • lamellar bone - the highly organized strong bone matrix deposited in concentric sheets with a low proportion of osteocytes. Many collagen fibers parallel to each other in the same layer.
  • osteon - (Haversian system) the functional unit of compact bone. Consists of a central canal (Haversian canal) surrounded by lamellar bone matrix within which osteocytes reside.
  • resorptive bay - (Howship's lacuna) the shallow bay or cavity lying directly under an osteoclast. This is the site of bone matrix resorption.
  • suture - in the skull a form of articulation where the contiguous margins of the bones are united by a thin layer of fibrous tissue.
  • woven bone - the first deposited weaker bone matrix with many osteocytes and a matrix disorganized structure. Replaced by lamellar bone. Seen in developing, healing and bone disease.
