Example text
Male sex hormone (testosterone) affects periosteal deposition, whereas female sex hormone (estrogen) affects endosteal deposition. , men at the end of their growth period have thicker cortical bone than women at the same stage), but the marked reduction in secretion of sex hormones occurs 10-15 years earlier in females than in males and this appears to be a major factor in the more severe bone loss seen in the aging female skeleton. The process of cortical remodeling, which occurs during and after the cessation of growth, may affect some areas of the cortex more than others.
As the cartilage model grows, through the proliferation of chondroblasts and the intercellular protein matrix in the germinative layer of the perichondrium, the oldest cells near the center of the model begin to swell (hypertrophy). As this occurs, the perichondrium overlying this area becomes infiltrated with blood vessels and its mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells. As these outnumber chondroblasts, the perichondrium becomes the periosteum. Mature osteoblasts secrete osteoid beneath the periosteum and a collar of bone forms midway between the two ends of the model that becomes the diaphysis or shaft (Figure 2-7).
Hydroxylation of lysine and proline occurs inside osteoblasts. 5nm wide and 280 nm long, are assembled in osteoblasts and self-aggregate extracellularly into unit fibers of collagen or microfibrils. Strong aldehyde cross-links form between the lysine and hydroxylysine of adjacent tropocollagen molecules and the microfibril is further stabilized by numerous intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Newly formed microfibrils are about 20 nm in diameter, but grow in size with maturity up to approximately 90 nm, with an average microfibril diameter in young adults of 75 nm.
