Q

what is the mechanostat theory??

A
  • bone growth and bone loss is stimulated by the local mechanical elastic deformation of bone.
  • bone adapts its mechanical properties according to the needed mechanical function – bone mass, bone geometry and hence bone is adapted according to the every-day usage / needs.

Q

what 3 areas support the theory that master growth centers control development?

A

fontanelles

84
Q

how does the formation of the cranial base differ from the vault?

A

the cranial base are formed initially in cartilage and are later transformed by endochondral ossification into bone.

A

The cranial base

86
Q

the cranial base has synchondroses that act as growth centers or sites?
