Ossification And Development Of Bone - intramembranous ossification Flashcards
What are the 2 ways costal bone develops?
Intramembranous ossification
And endochondral ossification
What is intramembranous ossification?
Ossification in membrane
Direct replacement of the mesenchyme/ mesenchyme tissue with bone
What is endochondral ossification?
Ossification of cartilage
What does ossification involve?
In both cases replacement of connective tissue with woven bone = (osteoid) occurs
Is woven bone mineralised?
No
Describe the process from woven bone to lamellar bone?
Woven bone (immature unmineralised bone) then remodelled to lamellar bone (mature bone) which is impregnated with calcium salts – Ca hydroxyapatite crystals (mineralised)
What are the 4 forms of lamellar bone?
Compact
Cortical
Sponges
Alveolar bone
Is this woven or lamellar bone?
Woven
Is this woven or lamellar bone?
Lamellar
Where does endochondral ossification occur?
Within the long ones of the limbs
What is cortical bone?
The bone on the outside
The cortex of the bone
What bone is places inside of the cortical bone?
Compact bone
What is alveolar bone?
Specialised type of compact bone
Alveolar processes of the maxilla and mandible
How is the compact bone arranged?
Compact bone consists of closely packed osteons or haversian systems. The osteon consists of a central canal called the osteonic (haversian) canal, which is surrounded by concentric rings (lamellae) of matrix. Between the rings of matrix, the bone cells (osteocytes) are located in spaces called lacunae.
What is the structure of spongy bone?
Spongy (cancellous) bone is lighter and less dense than compact bone. Spongy bone consists of plates (trabeculae) and bars of bone adjacent to small, irregular cavities that contain red bone marrow. The canaliculi connect to the adjacent cavities, instead of a central haversian canal, to receive their blood supply.
