panopto 22, 22A and 22B Flashcards
lengthwise growth
ossifying cartilage (turning cartilage into bone) or endochondral ossification
Epiphyseal growth plate
where epiphysis meets the diaphysis
epiphyseal growth plate zones
- Zone of reserve cartilage
- Zone of proliferation
- Zone of hypertrophy
- Zone of degeneration
- Zone of resorption
zone of proliferation
cells begin to divide and make cartilaginous matrix
Zone of hypertrophy
in hyaline cartilage, the cells in the lacunae swell
Zone of degeneration
cells are dying. Cells are secreting alkaline phosphatase and calcifying matrix, so we get holes and gaps in the matrix.
zone of resorption
osteoblasts integrating the area and lining the surfaces of these gaps, forming mixed spicules, the matrix disintegrates, and it gets turned into spongy bone. Replacing the cartilage with bone, making spongy bone
when do osteoclasts start removing spongy bone from the diaphysis?
some point before birth
what happens to the epiphyses after birth?
they ossify. Perichondrium -> osteoblasts -> osteoid -> layer of bone.
Cartilage cells enlarge
Degeneration of cartilage
Blood vessels invade
Mesenchymal cells migrate
secondary ossification
formation of spongy bone in the epiphyses. proximal end of the bone ossifies before the distal end. Red marrow disappears in the diaphysis; it appears in the epiphysis
primary ossification
When secondary ossification is completed. Two areas that are left with cartilage in our long bone: Articular surface and epiphyseal growth plate
growth in width?
add bone on top (appositional growth)
osteoclast morphology
large and multinucleated. Often this cell is hidden away inactive waiting for a signal.
osteoclast secretions
carbonic acid (removal of hydroxyappetite), and enzymes: including cathepsin K (collagen fibers and ground substance are broken down)
Howship’s lacunae
pit in the bone. Osteoblasts will come and line the surface of this new lacunae, and create a layer of osteoid, this creates lamellae or a single layer of new bone. Fibers of the second layer are oriented in a different direction, this will keep happening until it is filled with bone and each layer is a lamellae, a small gap is left in the middle that is called a haversian canal and it will create an osteon creating a new compact bone.
