Q

What are the 3 main functions of cartilage?

A

  2. to form the articulating surfaces of bones
  3. to form the template for the growth and development of long bones and most of the rest of the foetal skeleton (where gradually replaces by bone)

Q

What are the 2 growth mechanisms for cartilage?

A
  1. interstitial growth
  2. appositional growth
27
Q

What is interstitial growth?

A

chrondrocytes grow and divide, lay down more matrix inside the existing cartilage - developmental

28
Q

What is appositional growth?

A

new surface layers of matrix are added to the pre-existing matrix by new chondroblasts from the perichondrium

29
Q

What is Meckel’s cartilage?

A

the main cartilage of the 1st arch, forms the mandible

30
Q

What does Meckel’s cartilage contain lots of?

A

collagen and aggrecan (a glycosaminoglycan)

31
Q

What does Meckel’s cartilage do?

A
  • Meckel’s cartilage next to formation of new bone
  • bone is being laid down next to the cartilage
  • the cartilage is acting as a template for the bone formation
  • once bone is laid down, cartilage is reabsorbed and becomes other things
32
Q

What does Meckel’s cartilage precede?

A

the mandible

33
Q

Where does Meckel’s cartilage extend from and to?

A

from the otic capsule (bony capsule of developing inner ear) to a midline symphysis

34
Q

What are the 4 divisons of Meckel’s cartilage?

A
  1. posterior extremity
  2. from the sphenoid to the division of mandibular nerve
  3. from the lingual nerve forward to the division of the alveolar nerve into the incisive and mental branches
  4. forward to the midline
35
Q

What is the fate of the posterior extremity (1) of Meckel’s cartilage?

A

forms malleus of inner ear and the sphenomalleolar ligament

36
Q

What is the fate of the second division of Meckel’s cartilage (2)?

A

cartilage totally disappears - but its fibrocellular capsule persists as the sphenomandibular ligament

37
Q

What is the fate of the 3rd division of Meckel’s cartilage (3)?

A

totally absorbed

38
Q

What is the fate of the 4th division of Meckel’s cartilage (4)?

A

makes a contribution to mandible by endochondral ossification

39
Q

What growth factor has a role in Meckel’s cartilage development?

A

CCNS (connective tissue growth factor)

40
Q

What is the importance of CCN2?

A
  • required for the proper development of orofacial region
  • significant contribution to mandibular morphogenesis and tooth development
  • later in life, a critical promoter of physiological and pathological tissue remodelling
41
Q

In addition to its involvement in fibrotic disorders in a variety of organs, what has CCN2 been reported as a mediator of?

A

periodontal fibrosis caused by several factors including smoking

42
Q

What is the regulation of gene expression and molecular function of CCN2 a possible therapeutic strategy against?

A

periodontal disease

43
Q

During mandibular development, what are the 2 distinct stages that CCN2 gene expression is observed to occur in?

A
  • at the first stage, strong CCN2 expression is detected throughout the Meckel’s cartilage primordium before the cartilaginous structure becomes evident, suggesting the contribution of CCN2 to Meckel’s cartilage formation itself
  • after the initial formation of Meckel’s cartilage CCN2 production is then silences in the chondrocytes, then it recurs during hypertrophic like differentiation of the cells
44
Q

What does CCN2 accelerate the adhesion and aggregation of?

A

the 1st branchial arch cells

45
Q

What is the fundamental role of CCN2?

A

The fundamental role of CCN2 is as a messenger from chondrocytes to osteoblasts to guide the ossification

46
Q

What kind of ossification is involved in the formation of the mandible?

A

Starts as intra-membranous ossification but as we get towards final development some of the ossification will change to endochondral at the secondary cartilage sites

47
Q

What growth factors are involved in ossification of the mandible?

A
  • Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
  • Transforming growth factor beta-1
  • probably some of the BMPs
48
Q

How does formation(ossification) of the mandible begin?

A
  • primary ossification centre (between incisive and mental nerve)
  • begins with a condensation to form the first bone of the mandible
  • formation of bones spread rapidly anteriorly towards midline and posteriorly towards the point where the mandibular nerve divides into the lingual and the inferior alveolar nerve branches
49
Q

Where does bone formation spread after spreading the the division of the IAN?

A
  • spreads backwards and down, envelopes the incisive, mental and inf. alveolar nerves
  • continues to spread anteriorly
50
Q

Where do the lateral and medial plates of the mandible unite once they have grown?

A

beneath the incisive nerve

51
Q

What does the backwards extension of ossification along the lateral aspect of Meckel’s cartilage form?

A
  • a ‘gutter’ which will layer be covered and contains the inferior alveolar nerve
  • this backwards ossification proceeds in the condensed mesenchyme to the point where the mandibular nerve separates at the midline to the lateral and alveolar plates
52
Q

After completing the backwards ossification, where does the mandible then grow?

A

It will then develop upwards until where the bone will develop tooth germs, where they can form and occupy a second through of bone - area of tooth germs surrounded by bone

53
Q

How does the ramus of the mandible develop?

A

develops by the rapid spread of ossification posteriorly into the mesenchyme of the first arch and it’s going to turn away from Meckel’s cartilage and will start to grow upwards, a divergence along the line of the mandibular nerve

54
Q

What are the 3 mandibular secondary cartilages?

A
  • condylar
  • coronoid
  • symphyseal
55
Q

When does the condylar secondary cartilage appear and disappear?

A
  • appears 10-12 weeks IUL
  • disappears 20 years of age
56
Q

When does the coronoid secondary cartilage appear and disappear?

A
  • appears 14-16 weeks IUL
  • disappears before birth
57
Q

When does the symphyseal secondary cartilage appear and disappear?

A
  • appears 16 weeks IUL
  • disappears 1st year after birth
58
Q

What is the cellular difference between secondary cartilage and primary cartilage?

A

secondary cartilage has a different historical structure to primary cartilage - cells are larger, less intracellular matrix

59
Q

What does the condylar cartilage do?

A
  • forms a cone shaped mass that occupies most of the developing ramus
  • the mass of this is quickly covered and converted to bone by endochondral ossification
  • after 20 weeks only a thin later remains, and persists until ~20yo, provides a mechanism for growth of mandible
60
Q

What does the coronoid cartilage do?

A
  • surmounts the anterior border on the top of the coronoid process
  • relatively transient
  • disappears long before birth
61
Q

What does the symphyseal cartilage do?

A

appears in the connective tissue between the two ends of Meckel’s cartilage, but are entirely independent of it. Obliterated in the 1st year after birth

62
Q

In what way does secondary cartilages differ from primary cartilage?

A
  • cells are larger, less intracellular matrix
  • not part of primary (cartilaginous) skeleton
  • fibrocartilage (not hyaline cartilage)
  • appositional growth rather than interstitial growth
63
Q

What type of ossification do secondary cartilages produce?

A

(type of) endochondral ossification

64
Q

What is involved in the endochondral ossification by the secondary cartilages?

A
  • surface deposition of new cartilage
  • calcification of sub-surface cartilage
  • resorption of calcified tissue
  • replacement of calcified cartilage with bone
