Q

What are the purpose of synchondroses?

A

permit slight bending during early life and permit growth in the length of a bone by creating temporary unions such as those present during the development of a long bone where the body epiphysis and the shaft are joined by an epiphysial plate -> when full growth has been achieved, the epiphyseal plate converts to bone and epiphysis fuses with the diaphysis

Perichondrium

57

A

At the junction between the middle an lateral thirds

61
Q

What are the steps that cause a fracture to heal?

A

Callus of new bone forms around the fracture line
Callus remodels reassuming the normal shape
The clavicle eventually heals and is more or less the normal shape

62
Q

How do bony features form?

A

Adjacent structure e.g. tendon, blood vessel, nerve or another bone, apply a force to the developing bone moulding its shape accordingly
An adjacent structure is developing at the same time as the bone meaning the bone has to grow around the other structure forming a foramen (hole)
