\_\_\_\_\_\_ ossifies bones that originate as hyaline cartilage.
Endochondral ossification note: most bones originate as hyaline cartilage
51
(T/F) Most bones originate as fibrocartilage and undergo endochondral ossification.
False correct answer: Most bones originate as **hyaline cartilage**
52
What are the 6 main steps of Endochondral ossification in the formation of bone?
1. Chondrocytes begin to enlarge and the matrix will calcify and get more thin. Calcifying the matrix will deminish nutrients ultimately starving chondrocytes to death. **2.** **_Bone collar formation_** * Angiogenesis will occur recruiting blood vessels. The blood vessels will supply the cartilage with nutrients and bring mesenchymal cells, which will differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells and differentiate into osteoblasts. * osteoblast will gather at the diaphysis and form the bone collar (this is the first evidence of bone formation) **3. _Primary ossification center develops in diaphysis_** * Periosteal bud invades the cavity (in the diaphysis) causing the formation of spongy bone. The periosteal bud will bring with it blood vessels supplying the future bone with osteoprogenitor cells (become osteoblasts) and monocytes (become osteoclasts). The osteoclasts will degrade the matrix leaving a space for the primary ossification center to develop in the diaphysis. 4. The primary ossification center continues to enlarge. Osteoclast continue to degrade the bone and the medullary cavity is on the verge of becoming fully formed. **Cartilagenous growth is only occuring at the epiphysis at this stage.** **5. _Secondary ossification centers form at the epiphysis_** * The epiphysis begins to ossify * Cartilage in the metaphysis continues to grow 6. The epiphyseal plate (cartilage) is the last site of active growing cartilage (known as the growth plate). Epiphyseal plates will fuse
53

* Called dermal ossification bc it occurs in the dermis * produces dermal bones such as the mandible and clavical * Intramembranous ossification produces spongy bone w/ trabeculae
55
