Step one (1) of intramembranous ossification, osteoblasts

25
Q

_____: bone matrix (osteoid) is secreted within the fibrous membrane and calcifies. Osteoblasts begin to secrete osteoid, which is calcified within a few days. Trapped osteoblasts become _____.

27
Q

28
Q

_____: a bone collar is laid down around the diaphysis of the hyaline cartilage model. In week __ everything except a clavicle is made. Osteoblasts of the newly converted periosteum secrete ___ against the hyaline cartilage diaphysis, encasing it in ___. This freshly formed layer of bone is called the ____ bone collar. Primary ossification center is in the center of the diaphysis.

A

Step one (1) of Endochondral ossification in a long bone, 9, osteoid, bone, periosteal

29
Q

____: cartilage in the center of the diaphysis calcifies and then develops cavities. Still during development. As the bone collar forms, chondrocytes within the shaft hypertrophy (enlarge) and signal the surrounding cartilage matrix to calcify. Then, the ____ die and the matrix begins to deteriorate. This deterioration opens up ____, but they hyaline cartilage model is stabilized by the bone collar. Elsewhere, the cartilage remains healthy and continues to grow briskly, causing the cartilage model to ____.

A

Step two (2) of Endochondral ossification in a long bone, chondrocytes, cavities, elongate

30
Q

the periosteal bud invades the internal cavities and spongy bone forms.

A

Step three (3) of Endochondral ossification in a long bone

31
Q

the diaphysis elongates and a medullary cavity forms. As the primary ossification center enlarges, osteoclasts break down the newly formed spongy bone and open up a medullary cavity in the center of the diaphysis

A

Step four (4) of Endochondral ossification in a long bone

32
Q

the epiphyses ossify. Durring childhood and adolescence. When secondary ossification is completed, hyaline cartilage remains in the epiphyseal plates and articular cartliages

_____Law :A bone grows or remodels in response to forces or demands placed upon it

A

Wolff’s Law

observations supporting:

  • Trabeculae form along lines of stress

1.Position of bone ends after fracture:

  • nondisplaced —ends retain normal position
  • Displaced —ends out of normal alignment

  • Incomplete —not broken all the way through

3.Orientation of the break to the long axis of the bone:

  • Linear —parallel to long axis of the bone
