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
