Development of the Craniofacial Skeleton Flashcards
what is bone made of?
hydroxyapatite formed on a collagenous matrix, with various attendant non-collagenous proteins
endochondral bone
bone that is formed on a cartilage template
eg: long bones
intramembranous bone
bone that is formed from a condensation of mesenchyme
eg: most of mandible, skull plates
initiation
start of ossification, whether conversion of cartilage to bone, or condensation and ossification of mesenchyme/neural crest
growth
addition of more bony matrix to a pre-existing bone; thickening, elongation
primary displacement
movement of a bone due to its own growth
secondary displacement
movement of done due to growth of other bones
remodeling
growth involving simultaneous deposition and resorption on all peri and endosteal surfaces; changes size, shape, proportion, relationship with adjacent structures
drift
remodeling that results in movement of a bone towards the deposition surface
functional martix
a tissue that guides a bones growth by exerting a force upon the bone
bone growth can occur in either direction, it just depends on what?
the ratio of resorption to deposition and other structures
growth fields
where matrix can be laid down or resorbed
growth sites
fields of significance to growth of a bone
eg: mandibular condyle, maxillary tuberosity
growth centers
special growth sites, control overall growth of bone(epiphyseal plates of long bones)
what is considered the neuroncranium?
the brain pan( basically the bones encasing the brain)
neuroncranium: calvaria
skull cap
*intramembranous bone
*paraxial mesoderm and neural crest origin
also called the desmocranium
neurocranium: cranial base
the base of the skull
- *endochondral bone, primarily neural crest
- early form called chondrocranium
what is the viscerocranium?
the facial skeleton
what is the viscerocranium derived from
pharyngeal arches
