- neurocranium
- viscerocranium
what protects the brain
NC
what supports the soft tissues of the face
VC
cranial vault is part of
membranous NC
cranial base is part of
cart. NC
facial skeleton is part of
memb. VC
intramembranous ossification is with membranous or cartilaginous
MEMBRANOUS
endochondral ossification is with membranous or cartilaginous
cart
what develops in regions of intramem ossif. w/i in memb. VC and aid to grow facial bones
secondary growth cart
do secondary growth cartilages develop before or after intramem oss. starts
AFTER!
T/F:
2º growth cartilages undergo endochondral oss and are hyaline cart
FALSE. they are FIBROCART
mand 2º growth cartilages:
coronoid, angular cart, condylar, symphyseal
maxilla 2º growth cartilages
zygoma, palatal and articular eminence
what develops PRIOR to bone and usually is a precursor that undergoes endo oss. and contributes the specific skull bones
PRIMARY growth cartilages
what type of ossification do primary growth cartilages undergo
endochondral oss –> hyaline cart!
what type of cart is primary growth cart
HYALINE
