A

Circumferential lamellae:

32
Q

A

Volkmann’s canals

33
Q

______ are small (20-200 nm) spherical bodies observed in the pre-mineralized matrix of dentin, cartilage and bone.

A

Matrix vesicles

34
Q

what are the 3 kinds of intramembraneous ossification?

A

embryonic, sutural, periosteal

35
Q

_______ drive intramembranous ossification. Is there a cartilagenous intermediate?

A

extrinsinc forces
NO

36
Q

what are the 2 kinds of endochondral ossifcation?

A

embryonic, growth plate/synchondrosal/postnatal expansion

37
Q

difference between intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification?

A

In intramembranous ossification, bone develops directly from sheets of mesenchymal connective tissue. In endochondral ossification, bone develops by replacing hyaline cartilage.

38
Q

what are the steps of embryonic endochondral ossification?

A

mesenchymal blastema formation → formation of hyaline cartilage model of bone → hypertrophy and destruction of chondrocytes and calcification of cartilage → cartilage replaced by bone → bone osteoid deposition and mineralization of calcified cartilage spicules

39
Q

postnatal growth is driven by ______

A

growth plates

40
Q

what are the different zones of post-natal expansion?

A

resting zone, proliferation zone, hypertrophy, zone of calcified cartilage, zone of ossification

41
Q

______ is where progenitor cartilage cells rest, and the cells are smaller

A

Resting zone

42
Q

_______ is where cells start rapidly dividing, expanding growth plate, stack in direction of bone axis

A

Proliferation zone

43
Q

______ is where cells swell and bubble, pushes ECM to condense and calcify them

A

Hypertrophyzone

44
Q

_________ is the blue matrix; scaffold for osteoblasts to lay down bone matrix

A

Zone of calcified cartilage

45
Q

______ is the Pink matrix, comes from osteoids by osteoblast, and uses calcified cartilage as template

A

Zone of ossification

46
Q

Endochondral ossification has ______ growth potential. Does it have cartilagenous growth plates?

A

INTRINSIC, yes

47
Q

______ is growth formed around the trabeculae by differentiating mesenchymal cells.

A

53
Q

what is woven bone made of?

A

coarse, interwoven collagen fibers, increased numbers of osteocytes

54
Q

what does lamellar bone contain?

A

collagen fibers arranged in concentric layers; multiple series of osteoblast passes creating multiple layers of lamellae

57
Q

______ is a solid mass of bone tissue that is highly organized around blood vessels

A

Compact bone

58
Q

________ is a layer of hard connective tissue between the hyaline articular cartilage and subchondral bone. It gets calcified due to the deposition of insoluble calcium salts in the bone matrix.

A

Calcified cartilage:

59
Q

______ is chemically similar to the mineral component of bone and hard tissues in mammals.

A

Hydroxyapatite

60
Q

what does hydroxyapatite do?

A

61
Q

what is mineralization?

A

process by which organic bone matrix becomes filled with calcium phosphate nanocrystals

62
Q

mechanisms of mineralization? (5 steps)

A
  1. Small membrane bound vesicles bud off osteoblasts
  2. they contain phosphoserine, CA2+ PO4- cAMP, ATP, ATPase, CaBP, alkaline phosphatase
  3. Ca2+ pumps cause influx of Ca2+
  4. crystallization occurs, crystals break open vesicles
  5. Crystal formation continues in absence of vesicles
63
Q

mineralization is a highly _______and _____ process

A

organized and controlled

64
Q

primary vs secondary cartilage

A

Primary Cartilage
- develop early, known as “synchondrosis
- Function: protects your joints and bones, shock absorber throughout your body, reduces friction and prevents bones from rubbing together when you use your joints
- Composition: Collagen Type II
- Examples: growth plates between ossification centers in long bones
- Growth: Interstitial cell proliferation

Secondary cartilage:
- delayed in initiation, known as “symphysis”
- Function: only allow slight movement (found at skeletal midline)
- Composition: fibrocartilage, collagen types I and II
- Location EX: intermaxillary suture cartilage, angular cartilage, fracture callus; forms adjacent to intramembranous bone
- Origin: not derived from primary cartilaginous skeleton; formed from bipotential cells or periosteal origin
- Growth: appositional proliferation
