Growth and Development Flashcards
Types of ossification
Endochondral
Intramembranous
Ossification that requires a cartilage precursor.
Endochondral
Ossification where bone is directly deposited into connective tissue matrix.
Intramembranous
Parts of the mandible derived from intramembranous ossification.
Body except the symphysis
Ramus below the mandibular foramen
Cranial base and long bones are what kind of ossification?
Endochondral
Maxilla and flat bones of the skull are what kind of ossification?
Intramembranous
The cartilage nasal septum is continuous with the cartilage cranial base in what age group?
Prenatal
Components of the cartilage nasal capsule.
Ethmoid Inferior concha Maxilla (nasal crest) Lacrimal Palatine Vomer
Has a perpendicular and cribriform plate.
Ethmoid bone
Separates the brain from the nasal cavity.
Cribriform plate
Contains olfactory nerve fibers
Cribriform plate
At what age does the ethmoid bone start to ossify?
1 year old
At what age does ethmoid STOP ossifying?
3 years old
At what age does perpendicular cranial plate unite with Vomer?
7
The distance between the eyes is near adult dimension s by what age?
3
This stimulates bone deposition.
Sutures that separate bone
What is moved forward and downward when the cartilage nasal septum grows?
Maxilla
What do these locations have in common?
Frontomaxillary Suture
Zygomatico-maxillary suture
Floor of the orbit
Posterior/Lateral zygomatic
Bone deposition sites in the maxilla
The median palatal suture fuses at what age?
18
You can use a palate expander up to what age?
18
This part of the ramus resorbs as we grow, uncovering the crypts of 2nd and 3rd molars
Anterior
Bone deposition occurs in this part of the mandible.
Posterior ramus and alveolar process
Bone needs this to develop.
Blood supply, NOT muscle!
When the ethmoid complex is complete, what happens at the facial sutures?
They stop depositing bone.
