47
Q

A

ossification (replacing CT with bone)

48
Q

2 types of ossification

Forms:
-cranial flat bones
-facial bones
-dentary bones
-clavicle
-sesmoid bones
50
Q

primary ossification center

A
  • intramembranous oss.

- location where bone growth begins

51
Q

where does bone growth begin plus beginning steps

A

primary ossification center

  • mesenchymal cells arrange around BVs
  • bone morphogenic proteins release
  • mesenchymal cells divide and become osteoblasts
52
Q

what do osteoblasts do after formation

A
  • secrete osteoid
  • become isolated->osteocytes
  • produce spicules of bone that interconnect
53
Q

how does spongy bone form during intramembranous ossification

A
  • mesenchymal cells at surface form inner layer of periosteum
  • calcified matrix is degraded by osteoclasts to form spongy bone
  • end up with spongy bone covered in thin layer of compact bone
54
Q

when does endochondral ossification begin and what forms

A

-bone relaces cartilage model
-begins at week 7 of embryo
-continues to adulthood
Forms:
-long bones
-most short bones
-non-cranial irregular and flat bones
-middle ear ossicles

55
Q

step 1 of endochondral ossification

A
  • hyaline cartilage forms model of future bone
  • cartilage enlarges; chondrocytes near center hypertrophy
  • -matrix reduced to struts
  • -chondrocytes deprived of nutrients and die
56
Q

step 2 of E.O.

A

BV’s grow around and penetrate cartilage

  • cells differentiate into osteoblasts
  • compact bone forms around diaphysis
57
Q

step 3 of E.O.

A
  • spongy bone forms in center of model
  • -primary ossification center (creates diaphysis)
  • nutrient artery in spongy bone forms and penetrates
58
Q

step 4 of E.O.

A

remodeling of the shaft

  • formation of the medullary cavity
  • length increases
59
Q

step 5 of E.O

A
  • BV’s penetrate ends of model

- secondary ossification centers form at both epiphyses (created here)

60
Q

step 6 of E.O.

A
  • ends with incomplete ossification of epiphysis
  • some cartilage remains
  • -articular cartilage
  • -epiphyseal plate (growth plate)
61
Q

bone growth: elongation

A

-occurs at epiphyseal plate
growth in length continues until 2 ossification centers meet
-relative thickness of epiphyseal plat does not change until growth almost complete; then:
–cartilage depleted and epiphyseal plate narrows to epiphyseal line

62
Q

bone growth: appositional

A
  • compact bone deposited beneath periosteum
  • bone thickens
  • bone remodeling occurs throughout life
  • -due to osteoclasts and osteoblasts
63
Q

bone remodeling

A
  • ongoing since osteoclasts carve out small tunnels and osteoblasts rebuild osteons
  • continual redistribution of bone matrix along lines of mechanical stress
  • 4% of compact bone, 20% of spongy bone remodeled per year
  • distal femur fully remodeled every 4 months
64
Q

fractures: break in a bone (types)

A

closed (simple): break that does not penetrate skin

open (compound): broken bone penetrates through skin

65
Q

bone repair

A

-fractures treated by reduction and immobilization

66
Q

stages of bone repair

A
  • fracture hematoma
  • fibrocartilage callus
  • bony callus
  • remodel tissue
67
Q

fracture hematoma formation

A
  • facture hematoma forms within hours of injury
  • mass of blood
  • swelling and inflammation occur in response to dead bone cells
  • phagocytes and osteoclasts eliminate dead cells/broken matrix
68
Q

fibrocartilaginous callus formation

A
  • consists of mass bridging broken ends of bone
  • fibroblasts in periosteum produce collagen
  • periosteum cells differentiate into chondrocytes
  • results in fibrocartilage
  • about 3 weeks
69
Q

bony callus formation

A
  • endochondral ossification
  • formation of bony callus occurs as fibrocartilaginous callus is converted to spongy bone trabeculae
  • bony callus lasts 3-4 months
70
Q

bone remodeling

A
  • remaining dead bone fragments are resorbed, compact bone replaces spongy bone
  • well-healed fracture is virtually undetectable
  • process can take weeks to months depending on severity
71
Q

factors affecting growth, repair, development

A
  • nutrition=vitamin D
  • sunlight (vit D)

  • abnormal reduction of bone mass
  • reasons:
  • loss of estrogen at menopause
  • deficiency of minerals in youth
  • imbalance in activity between osteoblasts and osteoclasts
73
Q

fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
