Q

vascularity of bones

A

vessels present in bone marrow, Haversian canals, and periosteum

37
Q

elongation of bones

A

involves epiphysial cartilages at the ends of the long bone, but it is the diaphysis that increases in length

38
Q

newly formed bone vs matured bone

A

new: appears woven w haphazard strands of collagen

eventually transforms to be lamellar (parallel arrays of mineralized osteoid)

39
Q

4 phases of skeletal development

A
  1. migration of pre-skeletal mesenchymal cells to sites of future skeletogenesis
  2. interaction of mesenchymal cells with epithelial cells
  3. interaction leads to mesenchymal condensation
  4. followed by differentiation to chondroblasts or osteoblasts
40
Q

2 types of bone formation

A

intramembranous ossification

endochondral ossification

41
Q

intramembranous ossification

A

mesenchyme differentiated directly into osteoblasts, which form bone
e.g. flat bones of skull

42
Q

endochondral ossification

A

mesenchymal cells give rise to chondroblasts, which differentiate to chondrocytes which make mineralized cartilage models
cartilage models replaced by bone
e.g. base of skull, limb long bones, end of irregular bones (ribs and vertebrae)

43
Q

steps of intramembranous ossification

A
  1. mesenchymal cells group into clusters and form multiple cell types; osteoblasts form ossification centers
  2. secreted osteoid becomes calcified and traps osteoblasts which become osteocytes
  3. trabecular matrix forms from osteoid and periosteum forms from surface osteoblasts
  4. compact bone develops superficial to the trabecular bone, and crowded blood vessels condense into red marrow
44
Q

time line of intramembranous ossification

A

begins in utero

continues into adolescence

45
Q

last bones to ossify

A

flat bones of face (at end of adolescence)

46
Q

benefits of later intramembranous ossification

A

skull sutures and clavicles are not fully ossified at birth, skull and shoulders deform during passage through the birth canal
skull can increase in size to allow for postnatal bone growth

47
Q

primary ossification centers

A

part of endochondral ossification
present in long bones by week 12 of development
responsible for prenatal bone growth

48
Q

secondary ossification centers

A

ends of bone

where growth progresses after birth

49
Q

epiphysis

A

articular portion of long bones

50
Q

metaphysis

A
site of secondary ossification
3 subportions:
-epiphysial plate (cartilaginous)
-bony portion
-fibrous component (periphery of growth plate)
51
Q

diaphysis

A

midportion (shaft)
portion of bone that contains the medullary cavity
lengthens due to action of growth plates in metaphyses
contains primary ossification center

52
Q

how does the primary ossification center form

A
  1. mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondroblasts, then chondrocytes
  2. cartilage model of the future bony skeleton and perichondrium form
  3. capillaries penetrate cartilage, bringing osteoblasts / perichondrium transforms to periosteum / periosteal collar develops around mineralized cartilage / primary ossification center develops (in diaphysis)
  4. cartilage and chondrocytes continue to grow at ends of the bone
53
Q

development of secondary ossification centers

A

at birth: the diaphysis is ossified and 2 ends of bone are still cartilaginous
vessels invade epiphyses
secondary ossification continues in epiphyses

54
Q

when do epiphysial plates disappear

A

approx. age 13-15 in females, 15-17 in males

55
Q

bone age information

A

derived from ossification centers in hands and wrists

56
Q

how is a cartilage model formed

A

chondrocytes secrete collagen type 2 and sulfated proteoglycans

57
Q

what happens after a cartilage model is formed

A

chondrocytes move away from ends of bone, begin to hypertrophy & secrete alk phos
collagen is reorganized into hexagonal lattices due to production of collagen type X
ECM becomes calcified by calcium phosphate
chondrocytes eventually undergo apoptosis

58
Q

why do chondrocytes undergo apoptosis?

A

matrix mineralizes and nutrients can no longer reach them because cartilage is avascular

59
Q

what happens when chondrocytes die?

A

secrete matrix metalloproteinases to degrade ECM

blood vessels invade resulting spaces, enlarging the cavities and bringing osteoblasts and chondroblasts

60
Q

what are the 5 zones of the epiphyseal plate

A
EPIPHYSIS
reserve/ resting zones
proliferation zone
hypertrophic cartilage zone
zone of calcification of cartilage
zone of ossification
61
Q

reserve/resting zone

A

chondrocytes anchor plate to osseous tissue of epiphysis

62
Q

proliferation zone

A

chondrocytes proliferation

63
Q

hypertrophic cartilage zone

A

chondrocytes increase in size, accumulate alk phos

64
Q

zone of calcification of cartilage

A

chondrocytes apoptose; cartilaginous matrix begins to calcify

65
Q

zone of ossification

A

osteoclasts and osteoblasts from the diaphyseal side break down the calcified cartilage and replace with mineralized bone (type 1 collagen)

66
Q

what types of bones undergo appositional growth

A

occurs in all bones!
when bones increase in length, they also increase in diameter
diameter growth continues after longitudinal growth ceases

67
Q

cells involved in appositional growth

A

osteoclasts resorb old bone that lines the medullary cavity
osteoblasts produce new bone tissue beneath periosteum
subperiosteal cortical bone forms and an increase in bone diameter results
