Anatomy- Bones and Joints Flashcards
Two methods of ossification
Membranous ossification
Endochondral ossification
Ossification
Bone formation
Mesenchyme
Generic name for a disorganized web of unspecialized connective tissue
Membranous ossification
Mesenchyme cells form the shape of a bone and then gets transformed into bone
Membranous ossification is more common in which type of bone?
Flat bones
Process of Endochondral ossification
Starts with mesenchymal model–> mesenchyme is replaced by cartilage (usually hyaline)–> bone replaces cartilage
Endochondral ossification is utilized more in which type of bones?
Long bones
(Membranous/endochondral) ossification creates very dense bone
Membranous
How bones are repaired after fracture in adults
Membranous ossification
Normal bone growth is done by (membranous/endochondral) ossification
Endochondral
Hyaline cartilage
- Most common type of cartilage
- no fibers visible at microscopic level
Fibrocartilage
- Contains large amounts of collagen fibers
- important structural cartilage (intervertebral discs)
Elastic cartilage
- contains large amounts of elastin
- capable of being stretched and distorted and will regain its shape
- found in outer ears, nose
Haversian
Remodeling
Periosteum
Outside lining of bone
Compact bone (AKA cortical, lamellar)
Solid structure associated with the shaft or the ends of bone
-typically remodeled with Haversian systems
Woven bone (AKA non lamellar)
Typically young bone that has not yet developed Haversian systems
-Associated with greater amounts of collagen
