BS: Bone Development Flashcards
Bone tissue formation, also known as…
osteogenesis/ossification
When does formation of the skeleton begin? When does bone growth stop? When does bone remodeling stop?
2 months of development
adulthood (25)
lifelong
Endochondral bone starts from….
cartilage
Why is cartilage beneficial for the precursor of endochondral bone?
cartilage can accomodate mitosis
Endochondral ossification:
bone formation by replacing cartilage
Intramembranous ossification:
bone formation from fibrous membrane
T/F– There is more membrane bone that endochondral.
false, there is more endochondral
After complete endochondral ossification, where does hyaline cartilage remain?
at the articular cartilage point (ends of bone) and the epiphyseal plate
What are the 5 main steps of ossification?
- bone collar forms around diaphysis
- central cartilage in diaphysis calcifies, then develops cavities
- periosteal bud (blood vessel) invades cavities, leading to formation of spongy bone
- diaphysis elongates, and medullary cavity forms
- epiphysis ossify
Most bones formed via intramembranous ossification are […] bones.
flat
Our hands came from what fish?
lungfish
The lungfish evolved to form the […].
greererpeton (ancient lizard)
Interstitial growth causes the bone to grow…
lengthwise
Appositional growth causes the bone to increase …
thickness
What are the 5 zones within the epiphyseal plate?
- resting zone
- proliferation (growth) zone
- hypertrophic zone
- calcification zone
- ossification
