bonedevo Flashcards
primary bone
woven or immature bone
temporary, formed first
secondary bone
lamellar or mature bone
forms second
What are two processes is bone formed through?
intramembranous ossification
endochondral ossification
What bones are formed through intramembranous ossification?
flat bones of the skull, bones of the face
When does intramembranous ossification occur?
begins to around 8th week of gestation
How does intramembranous ossification proceed?
bone cells (osteoblasts) differentiate directly from mesenchyme, producing osteoid
mesenchyme –> bone
How does endochondral ossification proceed?
Mesenchyme is replaced by a hyaline cartilage model that is eventually eroded and replaced with bone
mesenchyme –> hyaline cartilage –> bone
What bones does endochondral ossification produce?
long and short bones
When does endochondral ossification occur?
hyaline cartilage models visible in 6th week
ossification centers present in all long bones by 12th week
What are the steps of intramembranous ossification?
- Development of ossification center
- Calcification
- Woven bone and periosteum development
- Replacement of woven bone
How do mesenchymal cells change during development of the ossification center?
mesenchymal cells become osteoprogenitor cells
go from elongated to rounded
go from eosinophilic to basophilic
now they are osteoblasts
What are cells that are trapped in the calcifying osteoid called and where do they lie?
osteocytes, lie in lacunae
How is woven bone produced?
small, irregular shaped pieces (called spicules) are increased in size by appositional growth (growth along the surface)
these patches of bone production join
embryonic blood vessels infiltrate spaces between spicules and become red bone marrow
How is the periosteum formed?
mesenchyme at periphery of bone condenses
What is woven bone replaced by?
lamellar bone, both spongy and compact
in flat bones, spongy is between two layers of compact
What is a Howship’s lacuna?
home to osteoclasts, site of bone resorption/breakdown
What are the steps of endochondral ossification?
- Development of fetal cartilage model
- Bone collar forms around diaphysis, cartilage of shaft begins to calcify
- Development of a primary ossification center in diaphysis
- Development of secondary ossification centers
- Retention of hyaline cartilage as articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate
What type of tissue forms the fetal cartilage model?
mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondroblasts, creating hyaline cartilage
How does the fetal cartilage model grow?
both interstitially due to activity of chondrocytes in lacunae and appositionally due to chondroblasts on the surface
What surrounds the fetal cartilage model?
perichondrium
What happens to the perichondrium as endochondral ossification continues?
perichondrium near mid region of the bone has progenitor cells that become osteoblasts–perichondrium now functions as periosteum
forms bone collar around diaphyseal portion of bone
