Q

What is endochronal ossification?

A

Chemical signals cause the centre of the cartilage to become calcified. This continues to happen and blood vessels form outside the cartilage which brings osteoblasts that secrete bone matrix. The osteoblasts can make their way to the centre of the shaft to form the diaphysis of the bone.

Q

Do the epiphyses and diaphyses develop at the same time?

A

No. When the diaphyses is bone, the epiphyses may still be cartilage depending on which bone it is.

Q

How do bones grow in length?

A

The chondrocytes at the epiphyseal side of the cartilage continue to grow while on the diaphyses side they degenerate. Osteoblasts in the diaphysis can then move upwards and so cartilage is replaced by bone until eventually the whole growth plate disappears.

23
Q

Where is hyaline cartilage found and why?

A

Hyaline cartilage moulds to the outer surface of bones to form a covering where they articulate. This allows for smooth, frictionless movement because cartilage is moving over cartilage.

Q

What happens to hyaline cartilage as we get older?

Q

What is the function of fibrocartilage?
