Lecture 11: Osteogenesis and joints Flashcards
Aggregation of mesenchymal cells is controlled by
Wnt, Hedgehog, FGF, TFG-B
Mesenchymal cells become
Osteoblasts
Mineralization occurs via
Calcium ions
Primary ossification center becomes
Trabecula
Step one of intramembranous ossification
Mesenchymal cells aggregate without a cartilage intermediate. Process controlled by Wnt, hedgehog, FGF, TGF-B
Step two of intramembranous ossification
Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts.
Bone blastema is formed
Step three of intramembranous ossification
Bone matrix is deposited by osteoblasts. Later Calcium, transported by blood vessels, is used in the mineralization process and primary bone tissue is formed
Step one EBF
Chondrocytes become hypertrophic
Step two EBF
Chondrocytes secrete vascular endothelial growth factor
Step three EBF
Blood vessels break through perichondrium, bringing osteoprogenitor cells with them
Step four EBF
Hypertrophic chondrocytes undergo apoptosis, leaving behind thin strands of calcified matrix
Step five EBF
Osteoblasts use calcified strands as substrates for deposition of osteoid
Step six EBF
Osteoid is calcified
Cartilage is added to the _______ end of the epiphyseal plate
Distal end
Cartilaginous joints
Symphysis
Synchondrosis
