BONE HISTOLOGY
BENIGN OSTEOGENIC TUMORS
INTRODUCTION
BONE
Bone is a connective tissue.
Composed of cells and extracellular matrix (type I collagen).
Total number: 206 (Adult) 270 (At birth)
Grouped into:
• Axial skeleton (80 bones): Skull, vertebral column, rib cage
• Appendicular skeleton (126 bones): Limbs, pectoral and
pelvic girdles
BONE
• Major functions
• Mechanical support
• Determines the body size and shape
• Protect vital organs
• Metabolic reserves of Calcium and Poshpate
Bone Shape Examples
Long bones Femur, humerus
Short bones Carpals, tarsals
Flat bones Skull, sternum, ribs
Irregular bones Vertebrae, pelvic bones
Sesamoid bones Patella
PARTS OF A LONG BONE
BONE CELLS
• Bone is composed of cells and a predominantly collagenous
extracellular matrix (type I collagen) called osteoid.
• Osteoid becomes mineralised by the deposition of calcium
hydroxyapatite, giving the bone considerable rigidity and strength.
• The cells of bone are:
1) Osteoblasts
2) Osteocytes
CELLS OF BONE
Osteoblasts and osteocytes are derived from a primitive
mesenchymal (stem) cell called the osteoprogenitor cell.
1) Osteoblasts :-
• Synthesize osteoid and mediate its mineralization
• Found lined up along bone surfaces (periosteal surface)
• Active osteoblasts are large, broad, cuboidal cells with
abundant basophilic cytoplasm containing much rough
endoplasmic reticulum and a large Golgi apparatus.
• Inactive osteoblasts are narrow, attenuated, spindle
shaped cells.
CELLS OF BONE
2) Osteocytes :-
• Represent largely inactive osteoblasts incorporated into
the matrix of formed bone.
• Lie within the lacunae circumferentially around the
Haversian canal.
• Assist in the nutrition of bone.
• When no new bone is being formed on the bone surface, these cells are insignificant flattened
cells with spindle-shaped nuclei but, when there is active new bone formation at the periosteal
surface, these cells proliferate and increase in size to become osteoblasts.
OSTEOCYTES
3) Osteoclasts:-
• Multinucleated phagocytic
cells derived from macrophage-
monocyte cell line.
• Located in depressions resorbed
from the bone surface called
Howship lacunae.
• Function: Resorption of bone in
bone remodelling in response to
growth or due to changing
mechanical stresses upon the
skeleton.
OSTEOCLASTS
SUPPORTING STRUCTURES
Periosteum:
• Dense irregular connective tissue covering exterior of the
bone.
• Covers full extent of bone except articular cartilages.
• Forms outer limiting layer.
• Attachment site of tendons.
SUPPORTING STRUCTURES
• Two layers:
• Hard and thick collagenous outer layer
• Inner, proliferative (Cambium layer) that lies
adjacent to cortical bone and support growth and
repair.
SUPPORTING STRUCTURES
Endosteum:
• Single layer of bone cells covering interior of bone.
• Separates medullary cavity from surrounding compact
bone.
• Lines the Haversian canals in compact bone.
TYPES OF BONE
Woven Bone (Primary Bone):
• Immature bone found during fetal development or fracture
repair.
• Characterized by randomly arranged collagen fibers.
• More cellular, with numerous osteocytes.
• Lower mineral content, mechanically weaker.
• Eventually replaced by lamellar bone.
TYPES OF BONE
Lamellar Bone (Secondary Bone):
• Mature bone, seen in adults.
• Composed of organized layers (lamellae) of collagen
fibers.
• Stronger due to parallel alignment of fibers.
• Forms both compact and spongy (trabecular/cancellous)
bone.
CORTICAL- COMPACT BONE
–Outer, dense, compact, 60% of skeleton.
• Provides structural stability.
• Has a very dense structure based on an arrangement of
cylindrical structures called osteons.
STRUCTURAL UNIT
• The area in one concentric unit of
lamellae in compact bone is called
an osteon or a Haversian unit
STRUCTURAL UNIT
Osteon (Haversian System):
• Central Haversian canal contains blood vessels and nerves.
• Surrounded by concentric lamellae of bone matrix.
• Lacunae between lamellae house osteocytes.
• Canaliculi connect osteocytes for communication.
• Volkmann’s canals run perpendicular, connecting Haversian
canals.
OSTEON
• Central space is called Haversion canal
• Contains blood vessels
• Around which are the concentric
lamellae
Interference contrast
VOLKMAN’S CANALS
• Haversion canals are
connected by means of
vascular canals which course
perpedicular to the long axis
of the bone
• Means by which outer cortical
and inner cortical circulation
anastomose
32
CANCELLOUS BONE
• Spongiosa, medulla, spongy region
• Makes up 20-25% of the skeleton. 75% marrow and fat and 25 %
bone
• Bony lamellae are arranged in parallel plates
• No concentric arrangement about a central vascular canal.
Delicate arrangement consisting of thin partitions (trabeculae)
connecting bony plates between which is found the bone marrow
CANCELLOUS BONE
CANCELLOUS BONE
• Distal femur
• Thin rim of cortical bone
• Predominantly cancellous bone
DIFFERENCE
Cortical Bone Cancellous (Trabecular) Bone
Compact Spongy/ cancellous
Shafts of long bone, anterior
surface of flat bones.
Ends of long bone, marrow cavity,
centre of flat bones, vertebrae.
Hard, solid, very strong Spongy & strong
Collagen – circumferential
lamellae around the haversian
canal.
Collagen – lamellae are parallel to
the surface.
Also known as Haversian bone Also known as Non haversian bone

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Many bones in infants are separate pieces (like the bones of the skull, hip, and spine). As the child grows, these bones gradually fuse into single bones. Fusion reduces the total bone count to 206 in adulthood.
  • #8 Epiphysis: rounded end of the bone located at the proximal and distal part, covered by hyaline cartilage., avascular Diaphysis: shaft or central part of long bone. Contained medullary cavity filled with marrow and externally surrounded by periosteum Metaphysis: flared region between epiphysis and diaphysis. Bone growth, presence of epiphyseal growth plate
  • #9 Osteoid is the organic, unmineralized portion of the bone matrix that is secreted by osteoblasts during bone formation. It plays a crucial role in bone strength, flexibility, and mineralization. Pale eosinophilic (pink) unmineralized layer adjacent to osteoblasts Lies on the surface of trabecular (spongy) bone or beneath active osteoblasts Von Kossa stain: Differentiates mineralized bone (black) from osteoid (unstained)
  • #10 When active, These features reflect a high rate of protein (type I collagen) and proteoglycan synthesis
  • #13 FIG. 10.12╇ Periosteum (a) Inactive, H&E (MP) (b) Active, H&E (HP) The outer surface of most bone is covered by a layer of condensed fibrous tissue, the periosteum P, which contains cells capable of converting into osteoprogenitor cells and osteoblasts. Micrograph (a) shows inactive periosteum with barely detectable inactive osteoprogenitor cells Op and mature formed bone containing established osteocytes Oc. Micrograph (b) shows active periosteum with new bone being formed by active periosteal osteoblasts Ob, some of which are being incorporated into newly formed bone to become osteocytes Oc.
  • #15 These are important, along with osteoblasts, in the constant turnover and refashioning of bone. The aspect of the osteoclast in apposition to bone is characterised by fine microvilli which form a ruffled border that is readily visible with the electron microscope. The ruffled border secretes several organic acids which dissolve the mineral component, while lysosomal proteolytic enzymes are employed to destroy the organic osteoid matrix. Osteoclastic resorption contributes to bone remodelling in response to growth or due to changing mechanical stresses upon the skeleton. Osteoclasts also participate in the long-term maintenance of blood calcium homeostasis by their response to parathyroid hormone and calcitonin (see Ch. 17). Parathyroid hormone stimulates osteoclastic resorption and so increases the release of calcium ions from bone, whereas calcitonin inhibits osteoclastic activity. Micrographs (a) and (b) are taken from bone showing excessive osteoclastic activity due to the effects of Paget disease of bone, a disorder characterised by continuous disorganised bone resorption and associated new bone formation (see textbox). Micrograph (b) shows uncoordinated new osteoid formation by a row of cuboidal osteoblasts Ob.
  • #16 Large multinucleated cells residing in the howships lacunae
  • #18 Outer layer: type 1 collagen synthesized by fibroblast, consist of nerves and blood vessels, nourishment to outer surface of bone. Inner layer: osteoprogenitor cells: bone growth and repair.
  • #20 Osteiod: organic unmineralised portion of bone matrix secreted by osteoblast during bone formation.
  • #22 Lamellae: thin layers or plate of bone matrix seen in both.
  • #24 Epiphysis: no medullary cavity Diaphysis with show medullary cavity
  • #25 Topographically there are two types of bone that is cortical compact bone and cancellous bone Appendicular skeleton, shafts of long bones
  • #26 This image shows the microscopic architecture of compact bone: A single osteon with concentric lamellae A Haversian canal in the center Numerous lacunae with osteocytes Canaliculi connecting the cells This is most likely a ground bone section viewed without decalcification and without typical histological staining like H&E.
  • #28 Longitudinal is perforating or volksman canal
  • #29 osteocytes are connected via gap junction and nutrition exchange happens between these cells and extracellular fluid in the lacuna and canaliculi
  • #30 Best seen in H&E or Goldner’s trichrome Interference contrast microscopy, also known as differential interference contrast (DIC) or Nomarski microscopy, is a technique used to enhance contrast in transparent, unstained samples
  • #31 VC – saw tooth configuration- connects 3 HC VC not surrounded by lamellae
  • #32 Circumferential lamellae are sheets of bone matrix that run parallel to the bone surface and are found around the perimeter of compact bone, unlike the circular lamellae in osteons. Concentric lamellae are the circular layers of mineralized bone matrix that surround the Haversian canal within an osteon (Haversian system) in compact bone. These lamellae are critical to the strength and resilience of bone.
  • #33 Pelvis, vertebrae, epiphyses of long bones.
  • #43 Pain: Intermittent aching(B); worsening nonmechanical pain(M) Swelling: (B); When cortex is breached and tumor grows beneath periosteum(M) Pathological fracture: Prev. asymptomatic with fracture through a simple bone cyst(B); Fracture is often caused by minimal force(M)
  • #46 Gardner syn: APC, osteomas/enostosis, impacted supernumerary teeth, odontomas, desmoid type fibromatosis and epidermoid cysts. Enostosis, also known as a bone island, is a benign focus of compact (cortical-type) bone located within the medullary cavity of a bone. It is usually discovered incidentally on imaging and is asymptomatic. Thought to represent a hamartomatous lesion (a focal overgrowth of normal bone elements). Synonyms: Bone island, intramedullary osteoma (older term)
