Ossification Flashcards
What are the 2 types of ossification?
- intramembranous
- endochondral
What bones are formed by intramembranous ossification?
- clavicle
- most cranial bones
What is the 1st type of bone cell in IO?
Mesenchymal cells
In the 1st step of IO, what do mesenchymal cells do?
Cluster together
1st Step of IO: What do mesenchymal cells differentiate into?
Osteoblasts
1st Step of IO: What is the term for the site of cluster?
Ossification centre
1st Step of IO: What do osteoblasts secrete?
Extracellular matrix
2nd Step of IO: What do osteoblasts differentiate into?
Osteocytes
2nd Step of IO: What process occurs which involves the hardening of the extracellular matrix?
Calcification
2nd Step of IO: What mineral is deposited?
Calcium
3rd Step of IO: What T is formed?
Trabeculae
3rd Step of IO: Trabeculae fuse together to form what type of bone?
Spongy/cancellous bone
3rd Step of IO: Connective tissue associated with blood vessels in the trabeculae differentiates into ?
Red bone marrow
4th Step of IO: What is formed at the edge of the bone from mesenchyme?
Periosteum
What types of bone are formed using intramembranous ossification?
Flat
4th Step of IO: What type of bone tissue replaces the spongy bone, only at the surface?
Compact bone
4th Step of IO: What type of bone tissue remains in the middle of the bone?
Spongy bone
4th Step of IO: What type of bone cell is used to destroy and reform the bone?
Osteoclasts
Which types of bones are formed by Endochondral Ossification?
Long bones
1st Step of EO: What do mesenchymal cells differentiate into?
Chondroblasts
1st Step of EO: what do chondroblasts secrete?
cartilage extracellular matrix
1st Step of EO: What does the cartilage model mostly consist of?
Hyaline cartilage
2nd Step of EO: Once chondroblasts are deeply buried in the matrix, what are they called?
Chondrocytes
2nd Step of EO: How does growth of the cartilage model occur?
Cell division of chondrocytes
2nd Step of EO: What process occurs?
Calcification
2nd Step of EO: Why do some chondrocytes begin to die?
Nutrients cannot diffuse through the matrix
2nd Step of EO: What are the spaces called which are left due to the dead chondrocytes?
lacaunae
3rd Step of EO: What develops in the diaphysis of the bone?
Primary ossification centre
3rd Step of EO: What replaces most of the cartilage?
Bone tissue
4th Step of EO: What bone cells break down the bone to form the medullary cavity?
Osteoclasts
4th Step of EO: What is most of the wall of the diaphysis replaced with?
Compact bone
5th Step of EO: What develops in the epiphysis of the bone?
Secondary Ossification centre
6th Step of EO: What 2 things are formed:
- Epiphyseal plate
- Articular cartilage
6th Step of EO: What do the epiphyseal plate and articular cartilage both consist of?
Hyaline cartilage
