Long Bone Development Flashcards
Process which long bone is made:
Endochondral ossification
Endochondral ossification
Manufacture of hyaline cartilage bone model that ossifies
First step of Endochondral ossification
Fetal cells called mesenchyme form
Mesenchyme cells
Cells that can develop into any type of connective tissue
Two types of cells that develop from mesenchyme cells
Chondroblasts
Osteoprogenitor cell
Chondroblast
Cartilage forming cell that become hyaline cartilage
Osteoprogenitor cell
Cells that eventually become osteoblasts
Step 2 of Endochondral ossification
Chondrablasts migrate to location and shape of future bone
Osteoprogenitors aggregate around edges
Step 3 of Endochondral ossification
Chondrablasts secrete cartilage matrix
Forms cartilage bone model
Chondracyte
Chondrablasts that become trapped in cartilage matrix
Housed in lacunae
Step 4 of Endochondral ossification
Chondracytes in center of cartilage die and form medullary cavity
Medullary cavity of cartilage model becomes:
Penetrated by exterior blood vessels.
Walls of blood vessels become endosteum
Step 5 of Endochondral ossification
Blood cells are formed in medullary cavity which becomes red bone marrow
Step 6 of Endochondral ossification
Blood vessels penetrate epiphyses and permanent red bone marrow forms
Step 7 of Endochondral ossification
Osteoprogenitor cells form periosteum and change into osteoblast
Grows bone’s diameter
Osteoblast purpose and physiology:
Secrete bone matrix with the use of calcium ions from blood
Epiphyseal plate
Found in metaphysis
Grows bone in length
4 zones of epiphyseal plate
1) Zone of resting cartilage
2) zone of proliferation
3) zone of hypertrophy
4) some of calcified cartilage
Zone of resting cartilage
Region of cells that anchor growth plate to epiphyses
Zone of proliferation
Groups of chondroblasts that reproduce quickly to increase number
Zone of hypertrophy
Chondrablasts from zone of proliferation increase in size
Zone of calcified cartilage
Matrix squires calcium ions and hardens
Becomes new part of bone
How is periosteum developed
Osteoprogenitor cells form the periosteum
Periosteum layers (2 layers)
1) osteogenic layer
2) fibrous layer
Osteogenic layer
Deeper layer of periosteum
Adheres to the bone through sharpey’s fibers
What cells form the osteogenic layer?
Osteoprogenitor cells that develop into osteoblasts
Osteoclasts are scattered throughout
Fibrous layer
Superficial layer
Made of fibrous connective tissue
What fuses into the fibrous layer of periosteum
Tendons that attach to muscles
And
Ligaments that attach to bone
