Ossification Flashcards
Perichondrium
Double-layered connective tissue sheath covering most cartilage
Lacuna
Cartilage, singular. Chondrocyte occupies a lacuna
Articulate cartilage
Hyaline cartilage that covers bones at joints. Has no perichondrium blood vessels or nerves
Appositional growth
Chondroblasts in perichondrium add new cartilage to outside edge of existing cartilage
Interstitial growth
Chondrocytes within tissue divide and add more matrix between existing cells
Hydroxyapatite
65% of bone. Inorganic. Calcium phosphate crystal.
Ruffled boarder
Osteoclasts. SpecialIzed reabsorption area
Lacunae
Plural, bone networking. Osteocytes
Canaliculi
Spaces occupied by osteocyte processes. Little canals
Osteochondral progenitor cells
Stem cells that become either osteoblasts or Chondroblasts
Woven bone
Random colleges fibers. Appear in fetal development and bone repair.
Lamellar bone
Mature bone organized in thin sheets
Trabeculae
Spongy bone. Interconnecting rods or plates. Spaces filled with marrow and vessels
Central canals
Parallel to axis of bone. Lined with endosteum and contain blood vessels nerves and connective tissue
Concentric lamellae
Circular layers of matrix that surround a central canal
Osteon
Haversian system: central canal, associated concentric lamellae, osteocytes.
Circumferential lamellae
Outer surface of compacts bone.
Interstital lamellae
Parts of circumferential lamellae left during bone remodeling
Perforating canals
Volkmann canals
Allows blood vessels through the periosteum and medullary cavity
Bone shapes
Long. Flat. Short. Irregular
Perforating fibers
Sharpey fibers. Bundles of collagen fibers that strengthen the attachment of tendons and ligaments.
Endosteum
Single layer of cells that lines internal surfaces of cavities in bone
Intramembranous ossification
Week 8. Done by 2 years. Skull, mandible, diaphysis of clavicle. Osteoprogentor cells become osteoblasts. Begin at center of ossification. Move outward
Endochondral ossification
Week 8. End 18-20 yrs old. Base of skull, part of mandible, epiphysis of clavicle, most of skeleton. Osteochondral progenitor cells become Chondroblasts, form hyaline cartilage model. Blood invades, Osteochondral progenitor cells in perichondrium become osteoblasts.
