(108 cards)
what is growth
Anatomical invcrease in size or number
what is development
physiologic due to increase in organization, complexity, specialization at the expense of loss in potential
how does the madible change
via growth and development
- changein position and shape from translation and remodeling
what does development of the mandible lead to
higher specialization for functions of mastication and speech
how does the mandible grow
growth is upwards and backwards
- pushes the mandible forward and downward
is normal growth random
No, follows pattern
what is the gradient of growth for the body
head it full size first and feet are full size last
what is the gradient of growth for the head
cranium grows fast and first
mandible grows to correct size last
what is used to look at the growth rate of differentient tissues of the body
Scammon’s growth curves
what tissues in the body grow the fastest
Lymphoid Neural maxillary mandibular general genitals
what does gradient changes in height and weight show
Significant health isssues
when are variations in growth due to timing most evident
During adolescence
craniometry
Measuring cranial width
anthropometry
measuring cranial circumference
what are the 3D methods to image the head
CAT scans
Cone beam CT
Magnetic resonance imaging
what is interstitial growth
Growth that occurs by a combo of hyperplasia, hypertrophy, and secretion of ECM within tissues
how common is interstitial growth
Done in all soft tissues
Cartilage
how does the cranial base grow
Interstitial growth
what happens if the ECM of interstitial growth is not mineralized
growth may continue in soft tissue and cartilages
what is appositional growth
Growth that occcurs by a combo of hyperplasia, hypertrophy, secretion of ECM at the surface of bone
how does the bony surface of the crnail vault growth
Appositional growth
how does the bony surface of the maxilla and mandible growth
appositional growth
can interstitial growth occur within bone
No
can interstitial growth occur within cartialge
Yes
