Q

Growth factors: What is individual variability? (2)

A

•There exists a reasonable variation among the
normality. That is why growth charts have been
created.
•This growth charts define the child position in
relation to the group and enables to follow the
child´s growth through time.

Q

What are the steps of intramembranous ossification? (3)

A

Step 1: Mesenchymal cells differentiate to osteoblasts
that secrete organic matrix bone.

Step 2: Bone forms between blood vessels randomly
forming a trabeculae.

Step 3: Trabeculae thickens at the periphery to form
plates of compact bone

Q

What is endochondral ossification?

A
  • Mesenchymal tissue transforms to cartilage in the same shape of bone.
  • Cartilage is broken down, reorganized and mineralized to form bone

Q

What are the steps of endochondral ossification? (3)

Study These Flashcards
A

Step 1: Chondroblasts form hyaline cartilage. This is surrounded by perichondrium,
which becomes bone forming periosteum.
Step 2: Cartilage calcifies in the center of the diaphysis. Chondrocytes die due to
calcification. The ends of the bone still have healthy chondrocytes so the bone
model enlarges.
Step 3: Primary ossification bud expands. Blood vessels, osteoblasts and osteoclasts
reach the epiphysis.

Q

The condyle and the nasal septum are formed this way…?

Study These Flashcards
A

Endochondral ossification

21
Q

What is involved with differential growth? (2)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • remodelling

- displacement

22
Q

What is bone remodelling?

Study These Flashcards
A

bone deposition and resorption

23
Q

Bone remodelling responds to ____?

Study These Flashcards
A

Functional demands

24
Q

What changes does bone remodelling produce? (4)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • size
  • shape
  • proportion
  • relationship of bone with adjacent structure
25
When does bone remodeling begin?
14th week
26
What is cortical drift?
A combination of remodelling that results in a growth movement towards the depositiing surface
27
What relationship between bone remodelling results in bone with the same thickness?
When deposition = resorption
28
What relationship between bone remodelling results in an increase of bone thickness?
When deposition is more than resorption
29
When there is a cortical drift towards the surface of deposit it creates...
Growth movement or displacement
30
What are reversal lines?
Lines that separate an alternation of areas of resorption and deposition in the same surface
31
Perisoteal surfaces are...
50% resorption and 50% deposition
32
Differential bone growth produces...
Huge changes on the internal bone surface provoking relocation of different parts
33
What is a growth site?
Parts of bone that have a more important role in growth
34
Bone remodelling areas characteristics? (2)
* They may be of deposition or reabsorption. | * The pattern of these areas stay constant
35
Bone remodelling areas: factors that may have an influence? (3)
- Size of area - Rhythm and quantity of deposit / resorption - Regulation of the time of growth activity
36
Bone remodelling functions? (5)
• Enlarge the bone. • Relocate the different bone parts. • Modify the bone so new functions may be performed. • Change the bone relationship with adjacent bones and soft tissues. • Create continuous local structural adjustments.
37
What is the "V" principle? (3)
- V shaped pattern of remodellng growth | - Growth occurs towards the wide end of the V
38
Where can you find the V pattern of growth? (4)
- Palate - Neck of condyle - Coronoid apophysis - Zygomatic arches
39
Growth occurs towards the wide end of the "V" as a result of: (3)
- Differential deposition - Selective resorption of bone - Simultaneous displacement towards the wide end
40
Displacement: During bone growth there are...
Independent movement | provoked by a physical force that separates the articulations
41
Moss´s functional matrix theory says ...
the growth of the soft tissues provokes a “passive displacement” that will induce bone growth
42
What is primary displacement?
- Due to the own enlargement of the bone | - Physical displacement combined with bone enlargement
43
Primary displacement: the displacement is equal to...?
The amount of bone growth
44
What is secondary displacement? Example?
- Displacement due to the action of other bones growth and the soft tissues - ex. growth of the cranial base causes the forward and downward displacement of the maxilla
45
Secondary displacement: the sense of displacement and sense are ___
opposite
