3 - Growth of Maxilla, Mandible, and Cranium Flashcards
what are the sites of growth in craniofacial complex
- cranial vault
- cranial base
- nasomaxillary complex
- mandible
what covers the upper and outer surface of brain
cranial vault
what is the bony floor under the brain and separates the cranium and face
cranial base
what consists of the nose, maxilla, and associated small bones
nasomaxillary complex
what are the two types of growth
endochondral and intramembranous
what is a process by which growing cartilage intermediate is systematically replaced by bone
endochondral
what is a process that is a direct conversion of mesenchymal tissue into bone
intramembranous (no cartilaginous precursor)
what is a determinant of growth (controlling factor)
endochonral and intramembranous growth
cranial vault is made of what type of bones
flat bone
flat boens are formed by what bone formation
intramembrenous bone formation
what bone growth process is entirely the result of periosteal activity at the surface of the bones
intramembranous bone formation
what is the cartilaginous precursor for cranial vault
NONE
where does remodeling and growth occur for cranial vault
periosteum
what are lined contact areas between adjacent bones known as cranial sutures
periosteum
does periosteal activity change inner and outer surface of flat bones
yes
after birth, apposition along the edges of ___ eliminates open spaces in the cranial vault
fontanelles
do cranial vault bones remain separated by thin periosteum lined suture for many years?
yes
when do cranial vault sutures fuse
adulthood
majority growth of cranial vaults occurs where
sutures
minor contributor of cranial vault growth is tendency to be removed from ___ surface and new bone added on ___
removed from internal surface; added to external surface
what bones compose the cranial base
occipital, sphenoid, ethmoid, frontal bones
bones of cranial base are formed by what
endochondral ossification to bone
centers of ossification in cranial base appear when
early in embryonic life of chondrocranium
ossification of cranial base continues until when
until bands of cartilage called synchondrosis remain
what function as a two-sided epiphyseal plate with bands of maturing cartilage cells spreading in both directions that will later be replaced by bone
synchondrosis
maxilla develops via what
intramembranous ossification
how does maxilla grow
grows by apposition of bone at sutures that connect maxilla to cranium and cranial base
