Growth and Development Principles Flashcards
This is a physiological phenomenon which involved an increase in organization, complexity or specialization, at the expense of a loss of potential
development
This is an anatomical phenomenon which involves an increase in size or number
growth
Where does the mandible grow outward from
from a fixed point; NOT the condyle, NOT the center
The mandible does not only grow, it also develops, how
it changes its position and shape via translation and remodeling; results in higher specialization for the functions of mastication and speech
Normal growth follows what
a pattern
The variability of growth seen between individuals is mainly a difference in what
timing
What are three measurements of growth
craniometry
anthropometry
cephalometric radiology
This is growth that occurs by a combination of hyperplasia, hypertrophy, and secretion of the extracellular matrix, occurring at ALL points within the tissues
interstitial “inside the tissues”
If the ECM is not mineralized, what can happen to interstitial growth
it may continue in soft tissues and cartilages
What is an example of interstitial growth
Cranial base
This is growth that occurs by a combination of hyperplasia, hypertrophy, and secretion of ECM, occurring only at the surface of bones
appositional
What does appositional growth occur through
the activity of cells in the periosteum; addition of new bone to the surface of existing bone
Where are there two examples of appositional growth
bony surfaces of the cranial vault
bony surfaces of the maxilla and mandible
When the ECM is mineralized, bone is formed, what happens to interstitial growth
it CANNOT occur within the bone
Cartilage can grow interstitially, can bone?
NO
Once cartilage is transformed into bone, it continues to grow only by what
apposition
This is bone growth within cartilage; cartilage transformed into bone
endochondral
Where are the ossification centers involving endochondral growth
within cartilage
What are examples of endochondral growth
chondrocranium; ethmoid, sphenoid, and basioccipital bones
epiphyseal plate cartilage of long bones
This the secretion of bone matrix within and between connective tissue membranes; no immediate formation of cartilage, but does NOT replace cartilage
intramembraneous
What are three examples of intramembraneous growth
cranial vault
maxilla
mandibule
The mandible forms by intramembraneous bone formation just lateral to what
Meckel’s cartilage
Where does condylar cartilage of the mandible arise from
an independent secondary cartilage that fuses with the mandibular ramus
This changes the shape of bone and is the result of bone removal (resorption) in one area and bone addition (apposition) in another
surface remodeling
Where does surface remodeling occur
at the surfaces of growing endochondral and intramembraneous bones
What are some examples of surface remodeling
bondy surfaces of the cranial vault, maxilla, and mandible
