B6-068 Bone Development Flashcards
osteocytes maintain bone matrix/calcium homestasis via […] which regulates serum phosphate
FGF23
what germ layer generates the axial skeleton?
paraxial mesoderm
what germ layer forms the appendicular/limb skeleton?
parietal/somatic layer of the lateral plate mesoderm
what germ layer forms the craniofacial bones?
neural crest cells
mesenchyme differentiates directly into osteoblasts, which form bone
intramembranous ossification
the flat bones of the skull are formed via
intramembranous ossification
frontal, parietal, and upper occipital
what bones are formed via endochondral ossification?
lower occipital
long bones of limbs
vertebrae
ribs
sternum
lengthens due to ossification that occurs at the growth plates
diaphysis
**contains primary ossification center
the primary ossification center develops in the
diaphysis
secondary ossification occurs at […]
two growth plates
the two growth plates of secondary ossification are located where?
between epiphyses and metaphyses
how does vascularization occur in endochondral ossification?
chondrocytes secrete MMPs to degrade ECM
blood vessels invade those new spaces and bring osteoprogenitors
5 zones of the epiphyseal plate
reserve/resting zone
proliferation zone
hypertrophic cartilage zone
zone of calcification of cartilage
zone of ossification
[what zone?]
chondrocytes anchor plate to osseous tissue of epiphysis
reserve/resting zone
[what zone?]
chondrocytes proliferate
proliferation zone
[what zone?]
chondrocytes increase in size; accumulate ALP
hypertrophic cartilage zone
[what zone?]
cartilaginous matrix calcifies, chondrocytes secrete MMPs and apoptose
zone of calcification of cartilage
[what zone?]
chondroclasts on diaphyseal side break down calcified cartilage and osteoblasts and replace with mineralized bone
zone of ossification
most common form of skeletal dysplasia
achondroplasia
achondroplasia is caused by a mutation in […] that affects ability of cartilage to form bone
FGF receptor 3
affects endochondral ossification resulting in short limbs, large skull, small midface, and prominent forehead
achondroplasia
90% of babies with disproportionate dwarfism have
achondroplasia
inhibits the proliferation and hypertrophic differentiation of cartilage cells when activated
FGF receptor 3
a defective FGFR3 gene leads to
constitutive activation of FGFR3
-inhibits chondrocyte proliferation in zone of proliferation
-inhibits chondrocyte differentiation and hypertrophy in zone of hypertrophy
-slows ossification in zone of ossification
conditions of hyperpituitarism [2]
acromegaly
gigantism
