Ossification and Bone Structure Flashcards
1
Q
Ossification
A
The process by which bone form in the body
2
Q
Ossification between membranes
A
Intermembranous
3
Q
Ossification from cartilage model
A
Endochondral
4
Q
Cartilage is formed by
A
Chondrocytes
5
Q
Ossification Centers
A
Osteoblasts build bone
Osteoclasts break down bone
6
Q
Osteocytes embedded in ring structure of compact bone are
A
Lacunae
7
Q
Endochondral Bone Growth
A
Occurs in diaphysis
The epiphyseal gradually transforms the cartilage into bone
The epiphyseal line where two centers of ossification have fused together
8
Q
Bone Growth
A
Appositional Growth - growth adds width (remove from endosteum and add to periosteum)
Adding length- (Chondrocytes create cartilage, cartilage matrix is calcified, Osteoblasts replace cartilage)
