Q

Which is more important?

24
Q

In hard tissue growth, what happens to ECM?

25
How does soft tissue growth occur?
Mainly by hypertrophy and hyperplasia, ECM secretion is secondary
26
When hypertrophy and hyperplasia occur in all places at the same time this is?
Interstitial growth
27
At what point can interstitial growth no longer occur?
When tissue mineralizes
28
What are the major sites of interstitial growth?
base of skull and the long bones
29
In development of the chondrocranium, what is present at 8 weeks?
Solid bar of cartilage from the nose to the occiput
30
What is present at 12 weeks?
Intramembranous bone formation in the brain case and jaws, bone replaces cartilage
31
In intramembranous ossification, bone is formed in what kind of environment? How is bone formed?
Membranous, formed by secretion of bone directly into connective tissue
32
Endochondral ossification occurs in what type of environment?
Cartilagenous. Bone grows up into the cartilage and displaces it
33
What is a suture or syndesmosis?
Joint between two bones without cartilage and a fibrous layer between the bony tissues
34
Where is a suture or syndesmosis seen?
Cranial vault and face
35
What is a fontanel?
Like a suture but bigger
36
What is symphysis
A joint between two bones with membranous and cartilage tissue
37
Where is symphysis seen and what kind of ossification is it?
Endochondral, connects the two halves of the mandible
38
What is synchondrosis?
A joint between two bones with cartilage but no fiber
39
How is a synchondrosis formed and where is it seen?
Endochondral ossification, seen in the cranial base
40
What is synostosis?
Bone ceases to grow and the joints become fused
41
Most of the initial formation of the mandible is due to what kind of growth?
Intramembranous ossification
42
Where does the growth of the mandible occur?
Lateral and anterior to Meckel's cartilage
43
What kind of growth is seen in the condyle and when does it fuse with the mandible?
Endochondral, it fuses with the mandible at 4 months
44
Growth of the cranial vault is due to what process? What causes the growth?
Intramembranous ossification, grows in response to brain growth
45
When does the cranial vault ossify?
9 weeks in utero
46
The bones of the cranial base are initially formed in?
Cartilage
47
What occurs simultaneously to growth of the cranial base?
Sphenoidal sinus growth
48
By what process does the maxilla grow? In what direction?
Intramembranous ossification. Grows away from the cranium, down and forward
49
What causes growth of the maxilla?
Growth of the nasocranial complex and soft tissue growth
50
The mandible grows in which direction but is translated?
Grows up and back but is translated down and forward
51
Where is the biggest growth of the mandible seen?
In the posterior aspect
52
At what age is the inter canine width and maxilla size established?
8 years old
53
When does the jaw stop growing?
It doesn't, it is continuously remodeled
54
In terms of facial growth, what is determined by genetics?
Bone and cartilage
55
Describe Dr.Moss's theory?
Soft tissue function defines form. Soft tissue sends signals to bone and cartilage and they respond accordingly
