= Direct mineralization of matrix secreted by osteoblasts (direct differentiation of mesenchymal cells into bone)

22
Q

What is endochondral ossification?

A

formation of bone a pre-existing cartilage matrix

23
Q

What is woven-bone

A

= first bone tissue formed

  • also called primary bone
  • will eventually be replaced by secondary bone (lamellar bone)
24
Q

What are the 3 requirements for intramembranous ossification

A

A) enough tissue mass to produce appropriate amount of bone producing cells (enough neural crest cell invaded mesenchyme)
B) well vascularized tissue
C) adequate maternal nutrition

25
Q

What is the developmental time frame for the start of intramembranous ossification

A

end of the 7th week of development

26
Q

What is the role of Meckel’s Cartilage, and where is it found in the adult?

A
  • Gives rise to none of the facial cartilage
  • is basically a structural support for tissues to lay down around
  • -> allows first cells of facial skeleton to lay down and differentiate
  • eventually completely regresses (is not present in adult)
27
Q

Steps of Intramembranous Ossification

A

A) Mesenchymal cells migrate + aggregate (froming a bone blastema) in areas where bone will form
B) Vascular network proliferation
C) mesenchymal cells differentiate into bone producing cells that become rounded and larger
D) Osteoblasts begin to lay down the bone matrix
E) Cells trapped in calcifying matrix differentiate into osteocytes
F) Woven bone is formed
G) remodeling of initial bone forms compact bone with lamellar arrangement around can cellos bone

28
Q

What are the two layers of the periosteum?

A

1) inner circular layer - contains stem cells of bone

2) Outer fibrous layer - for protection

29
Q

what is a bone blastema

A

Condensation of cells that will produce bone

30
Q

what is an osteocyte

A

osteoblast that has trapped itself in the bone matrix it has made

31
Q

Describe the H and E LM appearance of an osteoblast

A
  • Cuboidal Shaped cell (because it is active)
  • basophilic staining
  • will often have clear osteoid layer at its apical membrane surface in developing bone regions
32
Q

What is osteoid

A

= new, uncalcified bone material

  • first element produced by an osteoblast
  • appear as a pale stained area between the calcified matrix + cuboidal shaped osteoblast cells
33
Q

What is bones are produced by endochondral ossification?

A
  • bones that participate in weight-bearing
  • e.g.
    a) long bones of extremities
    b) pelvic + shoulder girdles
    c) vertebral column
34
Q

Where would you find the oldest cells/cartilage in endochondral ossification

A

-cartilage in the center of the bone is the oldest, because it is the first laid down

35
Q

What is the time frame for development of bone by endochondral ossification

A

6th week of development - hyaline cartilage bone models forms

8th week of development - primary centers of ossification are formed in bones

38 weeks - some secondary centers of ossification are present

after birth- most secondary centers of ossification are formed

36
Q

Describe the differential staining of cartilage and bone in H and E stains under LM

A 
Cartilage = basophilic
Bone = eosinophilic
37
Q

What is the first sign of ossification in endochondral ossification

A

the appearance of the bone collar around the cartilage model

38
Q

What is the function of the Bone Collar

A
  • prevents diffusion of oxygen resulting in degenerative changes in underlying cartilage:
    A) chondrocytes hypertrophy, synthesize alkaline phosphate
    B) surrounding cartilage matrix becomes calcified (calcified cartilage matrix)
    C) blood vessels invade future bone - bringing in bone cells that begin forming the primary ossification center
39
Q

What are the two regions cartilage remains when the secondary center of ossification is present, and which one is absent in fully grown adult tissues?

A

1) Articular Cartilage

2) Epiphyseal cartilage (absent in adult)

40
Q

Describe articular cartilage

A
  • covers articulating surfaces of joints

- no perichondrium

41
Q

Describe epiphyseal cartilage

A
  • responsible from growth of bones

- is the epiphyseal plate/growth plate that disappears in adult and leaves epiphyseal line as its marker

42
Q

Briefly Describe Clinical Correlations between somites and bone developmental issues

A
  • Groups of disorders are derived from the improper development of somites and the resulting affects on axial skeleton malformations
  • characterized by vertabral segmentation dects, rib anomalies
    e.g. - Spondylocostal dystosis syndrome (SCD)
    (spondyl = vertebra, dystosis = disorder in development of bone, coastal = rib)
43
Q

Briefly Describe Clinical Correlations between neural crest cells and bone developmental issues

A
  • Cranial/facial regions of bone & the rearrangement + sculpting of facial prominences and pharyngeal arches are assembled largely through active migration of these cells
  • genetic/molecular/cellular processes are temporally + spatially regulated to culminate in 3D structure of face
  • they are also the starting constituent for majority of skeletal + CT tissues of face
  • -> makes them susceptible to large number of defects
  • Are sensitive during development to: Alcohol, Retinoic Acid, Gestational Diabetes among other factors
44
Q

Briefly Describe Clinical Correlations between Lateral Plate mesoderm and bone developmental issues

A
  • Linked thalidomide to its interference with vascular development
  • this link to birth defects was a turning point in toxicology during pregnancy (such that drugs, and other factors can cross the placental membrane - is not a “barrier”)
    Characteristic due to improper lateral plate mesoderm development are often:
    A) Amelia = lack of limb development
    B) Meromelia = partial limb development
    (among others)
45
Q

What are the five zones of epiphyseal cartilage development from least active to most active?

A

Zone 1: Zone of resting cartilage (reserve cartilage)
Zone 2: Zone of proliferating cartilage
Zone 3: Zone of hypertrophy
Zone 4: Zone of calcified cartilage
Zone 5: Zone of ossification and resorption

46
Q

Describe the appearance of Zone of Resting Cartilage

A
  • Zone 1

- typical hyaline cartilage with chondryocytes

47
Q

Describe the appearance of Zone of Proliferating Cartilage

A
  • Zone 2
  • chondrocytes are dividing rapidly + forming columns of cells parallel to long axis of bone
  • cells produce collagen fibers + cartilage matrix processes
48
Q

Describe the appearance of Zone of Hypertrophy of Cartilage

A
  • Zone 3
  • Enlarged/swollen cells producing Type I and Type X cartilage
  • facilitates vascular invasion and growth
  • hypertrophy compresses cartilage matrix into thin septa between chondrocytes
49
Q

Describe the appearance of Zone of Calcified Cartilage

A
  • Zone 4
  • loss of chondrocytes
  • calcification of cartilage matrix
  • calcified cartilage will serve as scaffolding for new bone
50
Q

Describe the appearance of Zone of Ossification + Resorption

A
  • Zone 5
  • Bone tissue appears
  • stem cells from periosteum invade cavities left by chondrocytes
  • osteoblasts lay down primary bone on calcified cartilage matrix
  • cartilage is resorbed (by osteoclasts?) leaving only primary bone
51
Q

True or False: Bone growth plate changes in thickness

A

False: Bone is proliferating at same rate as cartilage is being resorbed
- plate does not change in thickness only in length
