Bone forms from mesenchyme

95

Embryonic CT

96
Q

Where does intramembranous ossification occur?

A

In portions of skull and clavicles

97
Q

Stages of Intramembranous Ossification

A

1) Ossification centers form within thickened regions of mesenchyme. Osteoblasts secrete osteoid at ossification center
2) Osteoid undergoes calcification
3) Woven bone and the surrounding periosteum form
4) Lamellar bone replaces woven bone as compact and spongey bone form

98

101
Q

-oid

A

“like”

102
Q

Endochondral ossification

A

Bone forms from hyaline cartilage

103
Q

Where does endochondral ossification occur?

A

In all other bones of the skeleton except portions of the skull and clavicles

104
Q

Stages of endochondral ossification

A

1) Fetal hyaline cartilage model develops
2) Cartilage calcifies and dies. A periosteal bone collar forms around the diaphysis
3) Primary ossification center forms in the diaphysis
4) Secondary ossification centers form in the epiphyses
5) Bone replaces cartilage, except for articular cartilage and epiphyseal plates
6) Epiphyseal plates ossify and form epiphyseal lines

3 and 4 essentially woven bone forms and is replaced with lamellar bone

105
Q

Hypertrophy occurs in chondrocytes when the cartilage calcifies and dies. What is hypertrophy?

A

Enlargens

106
Q

A periosteal bone collar forms around the diaphysis. This happens by periosteal buds invading the dying cartilage. What are periosteal buds?

A
  • Blood vessel- supplies nutrients
  • Osteoclast- resorb bone matrix
  • Osteoblast- form new bone
107
Q

Epiphyseal plate AKA growth plate

A

A layer of hyaline cartilage at the boundary of the epiphysis and diaphysis

108
Q

Interstitial bone growth

A

Lengthens bone by layer of cartilage, new bone, repeat

109
Q

How many microscopic zones of interstitial bone growth at the epiphyseal plate are there?

A

5

110
Q

5 zones of growth at the epiphyseal plate

A

1) Resting cartilage: randomly scattered chondrocytes. Regular old hyaline cartilage
2) Proliferating cartilage: chondrocytes divide (compact, stacked appearance)
3) Hypertrophic cartilage: chondrocytes hypertrophy and die
4) Calcified cartilage: empty lacunae
5) Ossification: new bone
