Bone Growth Flashcards
ZONE 1:
RESTING CARTILAGE; CHONDROCYTES; RESEMBLES MATURE HYALINE CARTILAGE
ZONE 2:
PROLIFERATING CARTILAGE; CHONDROCYTES DIVIDE
ZONE 3:
HYPERTROPHIC CARTILAGE; CHONDROCYTES STOP DIVIDING AND REABSORB EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX
ZONE 4:
CALCIFIED CARTILAGE; MINERALS ARE BEING DEPOSITED; CHONDROCYTES ARE DESTROYED
ZONE 5:
OSSIFICATION; WALLS BETWEEN LACUNAE BREAK DOWN AND FORM LONGITUDINAL CHANNELS THAT WILL BE OCCUPIED BY CAPILLARIES
interstitial cartilage growth:
GROWS LONGWAYS
appositional cartilage growth:
GROWS WIDTH
Intramembranous ossification begins with what tissue type?
MESENCHYME
Intramembranous ossification occurs where in the skeleton?
In the bones of the skull
Endochondral ossification begins with what tissue type?
HYALINE CARTILAGE
Endochondral ossification occurs where in the skeleton?
THE CUBOIDAL BONES OF THE CARPUS AND TARSUS; PHYSIS; THE EPIPHYSIS
Describe appositional growth in bone tissue.
AS THE NUMBER OF LAMELLAE RINGS INCREASE, DIAMETER OF BONE INCREASES.
