23
Q

Which is more important?

A

Hyperplasia

24
Q

In hard tissue growth, what happens to ECM?

A

Mineralizes

25
Q

How does soft tissue growth occur?

A

Mainly by hypertrophy and hyperplasia, ECM secretion is secondary

26
Q

When hypertrophy and hyperplasia occur in all places at the same time this is?

A

Interstitial growth

27
Q

At what point can interstitial growth no longer occur?

A

When tissue mineralizes

28
Q

What are the major sites of interstitial growth?

A

base of skull and the long bones

29
Q

In development of the chondrocranium, what is present at 8 weeks?

A

Solid bar of cartilage from the nose to the occiput

30
Q

What is present at 12 weeks?

A

Intramembranous bone formation in the brain case and jaws, bone replaces cartilage

31
Q

In intramembranous ossification, bone is formed in what kind of environment? How is bone formed?

A

Membranous, formed by secretion of bone directly into connective tissue

32
Q

Endochondral ossification occurs in what type of environment?

A

Cartilagenous. Bone grows up into the cartilage and displaces it

33
Q

What is a suture or syndesmosis?

A

Joint between two bones without cartilage and a fibrous layer between the bony tissues

34
Q

Where is a suture or syndesmosis seen?

A

Cranial vault and face

35
Q

What is a fontanel?

A

Like a suture but bigger

36
Q

What is symphysis

A

A joint between two bones with membranous and cartilage tissue

37
Q

Where is symphysis seen and what kind of ossification is it?

A

Endochondral, connects the two halves of the mandible

38
Q

What is synchondrosis?

A

A joint between two bones with cartilage but no fiber

39
Q

How is a synchondrosis formed and where is it seen?

A

Endochondral ossification, seen in the cranial base

40
Q

What is synostosis?

A

Bone ceases to grow and the joints become fused

41
Q

Most of the initial formation of the mandible is due to what kind of growth?

A

Intramembranous ossification

42
Q

Where does the growth of the mandible occur?

A

Lateral and anterior to Meckel’s cartilage

43
Q

What kind of growth is seen in the condyle and when does it fuse with the mandible?

A

Endochondral, it fuses with the mandible at 4 months

44
Q

Growth of the cranial vault is due to what process? What causes the growth?

A

Intramembranous ossification, grows in response to brain growth

45
Q

When does the cranial vault ossify?

A

9 weeks in utero

46
Q

The bones of the cranial base are initially formed in?

A

Cartilage

47
Q

What occurs simultaneously to growth of the cranial base?

A

Sphenoidal sinus growth

48
Q

By what process does the maxilla grow? In what direction?

A

Intramembranous ossification. Grows away from the cranium, down and forward

49
Q

What causes growth of the maxilla?

A

Growth of the nasocranial complex and soft tissue growth

50
Q

The mandible grows in which direction but is translated?

A

Grows up and back but is translated down and forward

51
Q

Where is the biggest growth of the mandible seen?

A

In the posterior aspect

52
Q

At what age is the inter canine width and maxilla size established?

A

8 years old

53
Q

When does the jaw stop growing?

A

It doesn’t, it is continuously remodeled

54
Q

In terms of facial growth, what is determined by genetics?

A

Bone and cartilage

55
Q

Describe Dr.Moss’s theory?

A

Soft tissue function defines form. Soft tissue sends signals to bone and cartilage and they respond accordingly
