Bones Part 2 Flashcards
Cartilage growth during early embryonic development
Interstitial and appositional growth
Makes a cartilage template
As cartilage matures…
It becomes semi-rigid
Fully matured cartilage…
Doesn’t grow
What are the two types of cartilaginous growth
Interstitial and appositional
Interstitial growth (cartilage)
Occurs within the internal regions of cartilage
3 steps of interstitial growth
- Chondrocyte divides into 2 chondroblasts
- Chondroblasts secrete matrix and are gradually pushed apart
- Each cell becomes a chondrocyte within its own lacuna
Appositional growth (cartilage)
Occurs on the cartilage’s edge (under perichondrium)
2 steps of appositional growth
- Stem cells within perichondrium divide producing chondroblasts
- New chondroblasts start producing matrix adding a layer to the old cartilage
ossification
the formation and development of bone tissue
also called osteogenesis
what are the two processes of bone formation
intramembrane ossification and endochondral ossification
When is intramembranous ossification used
to make flat bones or healing bone fractures
What are the steps of intramembranous ossification
- some mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts
- osteoblasts secrete bone matrix. Trapped cells become osteocytes.
- woven bone and surrounding periosteum form
- lamaller bone develops: compact and spongy
woven bone
also known as primary bone
newly formed bone connective tissue is immature and not well organized
lamellar bone
layered bone, secondary bone that replaces woven bone
what is endochondral ossification
uses hyaline cartilage model in order to produce most bones of the skeleton
what are the steps of endochondral ossification
- 8-12 weeks the fetal hyaline cartilage model develops
- outer stem cells transform into osteoblasts and periosteum develops. Cartilage tissue breaks down.
- Blood vessels and osteoblasts penetrate the cartilage and establish the primary ossification center
- around birth the secondary ossification centers form in the epiphysis
- during childhood and puberty bone replaces cartilage, except the joint and epiphyseal plate
- between 10-25 yrs epiphyseal plates ossify and form epiphyseal line
