Osteogenesis and Joints Flashcards
In intramembranous bone formation, what do mesenchymal cells differentiate into?
osteoblasts
In intramembraneous bone formation, what do osteoblasts secrete?
osteoid; it traps some of the osteoblasts.
What is another term for trapped osteoblasts in the osteoid?
osteocytes
In intramembranous bone formation, what do the osteocytes form?
A functional syncytium
In intramembranous bone formation, what ion causes mineralization?
calcium ions
What does osteoid include?
collagen I and non-collagen proteins.
What do primary ossification centers become?
a trabecula.
What do numerous trabeculae fuse together to become?
spongy bone
In intramembranous bone formation, what is the initial type of bone formed?
woven bone; its collagen fibers are arranged randomly.
What type of bone includes aligned collagen fibers?
lamellar bone
In endochondral bone formation, what is cartilage replaced by?
bone
In endochondral bone formation, what do chondrocytes release?
vascular endothelial growth factor
In endochondral bone formation, when do chondrocytes apoptose?
After vessels have formed
In endochondral bone formation, what cells used calcified strands as substrates for deposition of osteoid?
osteoblasts
Where does secondary ossification occur?
in the epiphyses
What are the epiphyses and diaphyses separated by?
A growth plate
