Q

How does mineralisation fail?

A

Lack of Ca2+ in the diet or malabsorption from the small intestinal disease results in poor mineralisation of bones

Q

Where does intramembranous ossification occur?

A

Ossification occurs within a “membrane” of primitive mesenchymal cells

Q

Describe stage one of intramembranous ossification/

A

Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts

A cluster of osteoblasts form an ossification centre and lay down osteoid

Q

Describe stage 2 of intramembranous ossification

A

Mineralisation of osteoid occurs within a few days to produce an island of bone
Trapped osteoblasts become osteocytes

Q

Describe stage 3 of intramembranous ossification?

A

Islands of bone join to form trabeculae of woven bone with blood vessels
Mesenchyme cells condense at edges to form periosteum

Q

Describe stage 4 of intramembranous ossification

A

Increased bone formation occurs on outer and inner surfaces to produce plates of bone
Spongy bone persists internally and red marrow develops in the trabecular spaces

Q

What is endochondral ossification?

A

Involves the ossification of a hyaline cartilage template

Hyaline is deposited in the shape of the required bone within a mass of mesenchymal tissue

16
Q

What is the diaphysis?

A

The shaft of the bone template

17
Q

What happens in stage 1 of endochondral ossification

A

Cartilage cells in the central diaphysis die to leave cavities
Perichondrium produces osteoblasts which lay down a bone collar by intramembranous ossification

18
Q

What happens in stage 2 of endochondral ossification

A

Cartilage matrix in centre continues to deteriorate
Diaphysis diameter increases by bone deposition on the outside and resporption on the inside
Chondrocytes in the rest of the bone multiply increasing the length and breadth

19
Q

What happens in stage 3 of endochondral ossification

A

Capillaries penetrate the diaphysis carrying osteoprogenitor cells from the periosteum with them
Osteoprogenitor cells transform to osteoblasts and set up a primary ossification centre
Bone is laid down in replacement of lost cartilage in centre

20
Q

What happens in stage 4 of endochondral ossification

A

At birth capillaries penetrate the epiphyses
Osteoprogenitor cells are dragged in, differentiate into osteoblasts and produce secondary ossification centres where bone is laid down in place of cartilage
Formation of medullary cavity

21
Q

What happens in stage 5 of endochondral ossification

A

Ossification of the epiphyses is complete, cartilage remains only in the
Epiphyseal growth plate
Articular cartilage

22
Q

How does the bone lengthen?

A

Through the epiphyseal growth plate
Chondrocytes died
Matrix becomes calcified
Osteoblasts come in and start to deposit bone tissue in its place
Cartilage is replaced by bone and growth plate lengthening bone

23
Q

What is post natal growth?

A

From constant growth of cartilage particularly at the epiphyseal plate

24
Q

What is a joint?

A

An articulation or union between two or more bones

Weakest part of the sekelton

25
Q

What are the functions of joints?

A

Allow mobility of the skeleton

Hold the skeleton together

26
Q

What are the three structural classification of joints?

A

Fibrous
Cartilaginous
Synovial

27
Q

What are the features fibrous joints?

A

Bones joined by dense irreagular CT
Typically immovable
No joint cavity

28
Q

What are examples of a fibrous joint?

A

Suture

Gomphosis

29
Q

What are the features of a cartilaginous joint?

A

Connected entirely by cartilage
Lack of a joint cavity
some movement possible

30
Q

What are the features of synovial joints

A

Freely movable
Articular cartilage coats bone surfaces
Joint cavity exists containing synovial fluid to lubricate
Enclosed by capsular ligament lined synobvial membrane
