Angiogenesis

Osteoid is laid down between spicules to fill up the space, forming trabeculae of woven bone

Woven bone forms collar then remodelled into haversian bone

Mesenchyme forms periosteum

Only outter layer of bone becomes compact/haversian bone

Inside persist as trebecular bone.

84
Q

Cartilage template cavitates to make way for ossification

Primary ossification center forms in cavity

Primary ossification centers mature as more calcium is deposited

Bone grows as more chondrocytes proliferate

Capillaries penetrate periosteum and supply blood

Epiphyses are made from secondary ossification centers.

Osteoblasts form from osteoprogenitor cells

Osteoblasts secrete osteoid

Osteoid mineralises to form trabecullar bone

Trabecular bone fuses with bone collar

Secondary ossification center then ossifies to form epiphyses, while leaving hyaline cartilage on the ends of the bone as articular cartilage.

103
Q

3 hormones that regulate calcium concentration

A

PTH

106
Q

What is the mechanism of action of PTH on bone?

A
