A

Definition: Bone formation in tissue other than the skeleton.

Example: animal penises, bovine heart, etc.

29
Q

Define “Intramembranous Ossification”

A

Definition: Ossification that occurs between sheet-like layers of connective tissues.

30
Q

Intramembranous Ossification Process

A

1) Connective tissue cells differentiate into osteoblasts which form spongy bones
2) Osteoblasts become osteocytes when bony matrix completely surrounds them.
3) Connective Tissue on the surface of each developing structure forms a periosteum.
4) Osteoblasts inside periosteum cover spongy bone.

31
Q

Define “Endochondral Ossification”

A

The bone is preformed in cartilage and is later mineralized and replaced by bone tissue.

32
Q

Growth of Endochondral Bone

A

1) Bone growth in length at epiphyseal plates at metaphysis.
2) Cartilage cell multiplication in zone of growth will force the epiphysis away from the diaphysis, lengthening epiphyseal plate.
3) Removal of cartilage and deposition of bone in zone of ossification leads to lengthening of diaphysis.
4) Diameter increase is due to activity of osteogenic layer of the periosteum.

33
Q

Regions of Epiphyseal Plates (3)

A

1) Zone of growth
2) Zone of cartilage formation

36
Q

2) Green Stick - One side of bone broke, the other is intact.
3) Compound - Exterior wound contacts bone (or bone protrudes).
4) Epiphyseal - Fracture at the junction of epiphysis and diaphysis
5) Comminuted - Small number of fragments formed.

37
Q

Fracture Healing

A

1) Vascular damage initiates repair sequence.
2) Specialized repair tissue binds ends of fracture together
3) Blood clot forms immediately and is reabsorbed and replaced by callus
4) Callus is mineralized
5) Reorganization of callus and formation of bone shaft in marrow cavity.

38
Q

A

1) Hemorrhage phase

Closed fluid filled sacs.

A

Angular motion increases or decreases angles between two adjoining bones.

1) Flexion - Decrease angles
2) Extension - Increase Angles
3) Hyper extension increase beyond straight line.
4) Abduction - Moving away from body
5) Adduction - bringing toward the body.

57
