Bone development Flashcards
intramembranous ossification
takes place at embryonic connective tissue membrane–mesenchyme–>condenses around brain and forms bone
intramembranous ossification forms what bones
skull bones, mandible, diaphysis of clavicle
T/F: when remodeled, intramemrbanous bone indistinguishable from endochondral
true
centers of ossifcation
locations in embryonic membrane where ossification begin
fontanels
unossified–large membrane covered spaces in developing skull bones
usually close by age 2
endochondral ossification
bones ossified by hyaline cartilage model
cartilage formation begins and end of fourth week of development
some at end of 8th week
some not until 18-20 years old
bones formed by endochondral ossification
base of skull, parts of mandible, epiphysis of clavicle, most of remaining bones of skeletal system
