Bone Development Histology Flashcards
Process of bone ossification
Osteogensis
What are the two types of ossification?
Intamembranous and Endochondral
- No hyaline cartilage model precursor
- Mesenchyme to Bone
Intanmembranous Ossification
- Hyaline cartilage model precursor
- Mesenchyme to Hyaline to Hyaline cartilage to Bone
Endochondral Ossification
What type of tissue is bone?
Connective
What does bone arise from?
Mesenchyme
When does intramembranous ossification occur?
8th week of gestation
Hyaline cartilage takes on initial shape of bone as well as bones place in the body
Hyaline cartilage model
A- Ossification centers form within thickened regions of mesenchyme
B- Osteoid endergoes calcification
C- Woven bone and surrounding periosteum form
D- Lamellar bone replaces woven bone, as compact and spongy bone form
Intramembranous ossification
Where is spongy bone formed?
Between 2 layers of compact bone
What is one characteristic of all connective tissues?
They arise from embryonic connective tissue called mesenchyme
Leads to the production of flat bones of the skull and the bones of the face
Intramembranous Ossification
Woven or immature bone
Primary
Lamellar or mature bone
Secondary
Eroded and replaced with bone
Hyaline cartilage model
Leads to the production of most short and long bones of the body
Endochondral ossification
When are the first hyaline cartilage models visible?
6th week of gestation
When are ossification centers of long bones of the limns present?
By 12th week of gestation
In intramembranous ossification, Elongated, pale-staining, mesenchymal cells cluster and differentiate to
Osteoprogenitor cells
In intramembranous ossification, What happens when cells differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells?
They become more rounded, while their cytoplasm changes from eosinophilic to basophilic
What is the basophilic cytoplasm change a result of?
More rough ER
What do osteroprogenitor cells differentiate into?
Osteoblasts
What do clusters of osteoblasts create?
The ossification center
Organic extracellular matrix
Osteoid
What secrete osteoid?
Osteoblasts while creating the ossification center
Where are calcium and other mineral salts deposited during calcification?
Around the framework of collagen fibers
Cells that are trapped in the calcifying osteoid
Osteocytes
Where do osteocytes sit?
In lacunae
Produced in small irregularly shaped pieces or spicules that are increased in size by apposition growth
Woven bone in Intramembraous ossification
Growth along the surface
Apposition growth
Small patches of bone production merge together to produce
A labyrinth of woven bone
The spaces between the bone spicules that are infiltrated with embryonic blood vessels differentiate into
Red bone marrow
The mesenchyme at the periphery of the bone condenses and forms the
Periosteum
What is woven bone replaced by?
Lamellar bond
What does lamellar bone form in intramembranous ossification?
Compact and spongy bone
Loosely organized embryonic connective tissue
Mesenchyme
Elongated, pale-staining, undifferentiated cells
Mesenchymal cells
Thin cytoplasmic processes
Mesenchymal cells
- Fetal hyaline cartilage model develops
- Cartilage calcifies and a periosteal bone collar forms around the diaphysis
- Primary ossification center forms in the diaphysis
- Secondary ossification centers form in the epiphysis
- Bone replaces cartilage except the articular cartilage and epiphyseal plates
- Epiphyseal plates ossify and form epiphyseal lines
Endochondral ossification
In endochondral ossification, mesenchymal cells aggregate and differentiate into
Chondroblasts
Secrete matrix, including type II collagen and produce the hyaline cartilage model
Chondroblasts
Formed from the mesenchyme where bone is going to form and in a similar shape
Hyaline cartilage model
How does hyaline cartilage grow?
Interstitial growth and appositional growth
What causes interstitial growth in endochondral ossification?
Activity of chondrocytes located in lacunae
What causes appositional growth in endochondral ossification?
Activity of chondroblasts at the surface
Where does a bone collar form in endochondral ossification?
Around the diaphysis
What does the perichondrium near the nid-region of the cartilage model contain?
Progenitor cells that differentiate into osteoblasts
When does perichondrium become functional periosteum?
When Progenitor cells differentiate into osteoblasts instead of chondroblasts
What creates a bone collar around the mid-section of the hyaline cartilage model?
Osteoblasts that secrete osteoid, that becomes calcified
How does the bone collar effect underlying cartilage?
Impedes the diffusion of oxygen and nutrients
In the mid-region begin to accumulate glycogen, undergo hypertrophy (swell up) and produce alkaline phosphatase
Chondrocytes
Compress the matrix and signal the surrounding matrix to calcify
Changes to chondrocytes in mid-region from formation of bone collar
