Development of Craniofacial Skeleton Flashcards
Bone is ________ formed on a ________ with various attendant ________
- Hydroxyapatite
- Collagenous Matrix
- Non-collagenous proteins
Name the two types of bone (from a developmental point of view)
- Endochondral
2. Intramembranous
What is endochondral bone?
Bone that is formed on a cartilage template (the long bones)
What is Intramembranous bone?
Bone that is formed from a condensation of mesenchyme (most of the mandible, skull plates)
Define Initiation
Start of ossification, whether conversion of cartilage to bone, or condensation and ossification of mesenchyme/neural crest
Define Growth
Addition of more bony matrix to a pre-existing bone; thickening, elongation, etc.
Define Displacement (primary)
- Movement of a bone due to its own growth
- Can occur in either direction, depending on the ratio of resorption to deposition and other structures
Define Displacement (secondary)
- Movement of a bone due to the growth of other bones
- Growth of one bone causes growth in another
Define Remodeling
Growth involving simultaneous deposition and resorption on all peri- and endosteal surfaces; changes in size, shape, proportion, relationship with adjacent structres
Define Drift
Remodeling that results in movement of a bone towards the deposition surface
Define Functional Matrix
A tissue that guides a bones growth by exerting a force upon the bone
How can directional bone growth occur? Where can it occur?
- By the deposition of bone on a surface, with concomitant resorption on another
- At endosteal or periosteal surfaces (inside or outside of the bone)
T/F Bone growth is usually equal in all directions
FALSE, It is usually asymmetric so as to maintain some proportion
T/F Deposition and resorption rates at a surface change over time and can even switch
TRUE
Define Growth fieds
Where matrix can be laid down or resorbed
Define Growth Sites
Fields of significance to growth of a bone (Mandibular condyle, maxillary tuberosity)
Define Growth centers
Special growth sites, control overall growth of bone (epiphyseal plates of long bones)
What makes up the Neurocranium?
- Calvaria
2. Cranial Base
What is the origin of the Calvaria?
both paraxial mesoderm and neural crest origin
What is another name for the Calvaria?
Desmocranium
What type of bone makes up the calvaria?
Intramembranous bone
What is the cranial base derived from and what is its early form called?
- Derived from special sense organ capsular tissues
- Endochondral bone, primarily neural crest
- Early form called Chondrocranium
What is the facial skeleton called?
Viscerocranium
**consists of basically what we call the face: anterior, lower skull
