What is intramembranous bone ossification?
-Bone that is formed from a condensation of mesenchyme
What type of bone is formed from endochondral ossification?
-Long bones
What type of bones are formed from intramembranous bone ossification?
- Most of the mandible
- Skull plates
What is the start of ossification, whether conversion of cartilage to bone, or condensation and ossification of mesenchyme/neural crest?
-Initiation
What two cells contribute to the mesenchyme?
- mesoderm
- neural crest
What is the addition of more bony matrix to a pre-existing bone; thickening, elongation?
-Growth
What is displacement (primary) of bone?
-movement of a bone due to its own growth
What is displacement (secondary) of bone?
-movement of a bone due to the growth of other bones
What is remodeling of bone?
-Growth involving simultaneous deposition and resorption on all peri and endosteal surfaces.
What happens to the bone in remodeling?
- change size
- shape
- proportion
What is drift in bone?
-Remodeling that results in movement of a bone towards the deposition surface
What is the functional matrix?
-A tissue that guides a bones growth by exerting a force upon the bone
Where are two places that bone growth can occur?
- periosteal surfaces
- endosteal surfaces
T/F
Bone resorption and bone deposition rates occur equally at all times in life.
False
Bone resorption and deposition rates can be different and change over time
What are growth fields?
-Where matrix can be laid down or resorbed
What are growth sites?
-Fields of significance to growth of a bone
What are growth centers?
-Special growth sites, control overall growth of bone
