Q

describe osteocytes

A

osteoblasts that become trapped in mineralised bone
lie within spaces- lacunae
contact other osteocytes via cytoplasmic processes that run in canaliculi
osteocytes also appear to communicate with osteoblasts

18
Q

describe osteoclasts

A

large multinucleate cells derived from haemopoietic stem cells
related to macrophages
resorb bone
lie in concavities in bone

19
Q

describe bone remodelling (turnover)

A

removal and replacement of bone tissue without change in shape
resorption balanced by deposition
each year 2% cortical, 25% cancellous
controlled by osteoblasts

20
Q

how is bone remodelling regulated?

A

hormones
-PTH, calcitonin
paracrines

21
Q

what is the reversal line?

A

scalloped edge shows where bone resorption changes to bone deposition

22
Q

when do tooth movements occur?

A

during eruption
post-eruptive eg mesial drift
orthodontic forces

23
Q

what do tooth movements require?

A

remodelling of adjacent soft and hard tissues

24

external ear, epiglottis, eustacian tube

29
Q

what are cartilage cells formed by?

A

chondoblasts

30
Q

how are chondrocytes formed?

A

chondroblasts get trapped in the matrix and become chondrocytes

31
Q

describe chondrocytes

A

avascular
nutrient diffuses in
some channels are present in thick areas of cartilage
contain stores of lipid and glycogen

32

endochondral ossification

intramembranous ossificaiton

33
Q

describe endochondral ossification

A

cartilage precursor
cartilage proliferation
cartilage replaced with bone

34
Q

describe intramembranous ossification

A

flat bones
bone formed de novo in CT
no cartilage precursor

35
Q

A

intramembranous ossification

36
Q

is there cartilage in skull?

A

no

37
Q

what areas of bone is there no calcification?

A

epiphysial

38
Q

when does epiphysial ossification begin?

A

when bone reaches final size

39
Q

what is the spheno-occipital synchondrosis?

A

special bone with mix of intramembranous and endochondral ossification
base of skull
no flexibility

40
Q

what is achondroplasia?

A

limited growth on base of skull
spenoid bone not growing properly
maxilla & mandible normal

41
Q

what kind of bone growth is the condyl?

A

endochondral

42
Q

what allows epiphysial growth in the TMJ?

A

fibrocartilaginous zone

43
Q

how does the mandible structure change over time?

A

condyl over lifetime
articular emenants flat in children
alceolar if teeth removed
