Q

epiphysis & process

A

ends of long bone, spongy/cancellous filled with red marrow, upon development, seperated from diaphysis by epiphyseal line

  1. epiphyses are seperated from diaphysis by epiphyseal plate (growth plate) which is made of cartilage (until it fills in) and allows for bone growth-in kids,teens
  2. cartilage later is replaced by bone (ossification) and forms epiphyseal line-adults
  3. region is now called metaphysis

Q

appositional vs interstital(longitudal) growth in cartilage

A

longitudal/intersistial, “enodenous growth” - occurs WITHIN cartilage tissue, childhood/adolescence, chondrocytes divide and secrete additional matrix, which can happen b/c soft nature of cartilage tissue.

appositional growth, “exogenous growth” - occurs OUTER surfaces of cartilage tissue. beyond adolescence and throughout adult life. chondrocytes in deep layer of perichondrium divide and secrete additional matrix, which is placed on surface of cartilage, wihch causes it to increase in size. Bone grows in DIAMETER, where scoliosis is imporant to manage

Q

PTH vs calcitonin

A
