50

51
Q

functional unit of bone is ____

A

osteons

52
Q

osteons are oriented ___ to line of stress

A

parallel

53
Q

osteons formed by ____

A

osteocytes organizing in concentric layers around central canal with blood vessels and nerves

54
Q

two types of bone development

A

-intramembranous ossification
-endochondral ossification

55
Q

intramembranous ossification occurs in ____

A

flat bone like crania, face

56
Q

in intramembranous ossification, osteoblasts differentiate ____

A

directly form mesenchymal tissue (mesenchyme -> bone)

57
Q

endochondral ossification occurs in ___

A

long bones (ed. limbs,ribs, vertebrae)

58
Q

in endochondral ossification, bone replaces ___

A

a hyaline cartilage template

59
Q

Intramembranous growth process

A

1) chemical message tells mesenchymal cells to crowd together
2) differentiate osteogenic cells -> osteoblasts.
3) osteoblasts secreting ECM (osteoid) forms an ossification center (multiple formed)
4) Osteoid calcifies over time with minerals.
5) Osteoblasts become trapped osteocytes in lacunae (project cytoplasmic processes via canaliculi)
6) Developing bone (calcified matrix) forms trabeculae (spongy bone) & blood vessels supply the new bone -> trapped blood vessels become red marrow
7) Mesenchymal cells around outside of bone condense to form periosteum
8) Thin layer of cortical bone is deposited over the trabeculae

60
Q

Endochondral growth (pre-natal)

A

1) Mesenchymal cells -> chondroblasts -> secrete matrix to create hyaline cartilage model -> chondrocytes
2) Mesenchymal cells condense to form outer covering (perichondrium)
3) Hypertrophic (large) chondrocytes secrete an attractant for blood vessels then die
4) Invading blood vessels stimulate cells differentiate into osteoblasts (perichondrium) & osteoclasts (blood)
5) Cells will make & remodel bone -> primary ossification centre (just one)
6) At the same time osteoblasts differentiate in the perichondrium (now called the periosteum) & create a bony collar

61
Q

Endochondral growth (post-natal)

A

1) At birth -> diaphysis mostly ossified, but the epiphyses (ends) are still cartilage
2) After birth, secondary ossification centres appear in the epiphyses (same process as seen for the primary ossification centre)
3) Secondary ossification centres expand to ossify most of the epiphysis
4) The epiphyseal cartilage plate (metaphysis) remains between epiphysis & diaphysis
5) Epiphyseal (growth) plate -> most of the
lengthening (interstitial) growth of the bone occurs through proliferation of chondrocytes & replacement by bone

62
Q

ossification of growth plate means what?

A

no more growth in length (but can still change shape)

63
Q

Bone is remodelled throughout life, but will not grow in length after ______

A

growth plates close

64
Q

Inactivity & age does what?

A

decreases cellular bone activity

65
Q

Bones can grow appositionally in response to ______

A

stimuli (muscular activity) or bone damage

66
Q

Interstitial growth is ____

A

growth in length

67
Q

Appositional growth is ___

A

change in diameter (overall shape of bone)

68
Q

Bone remodeling and repair process

A
  1. Fracture hematoma: rupture of blood -> hemorrhage
  2. Fibrocartilaginous callus (soft): invasion of macrophages + collagen + cartilage - no structural rigidity
  3. Bony (hard) callus: healthy blood vessels are produced, bringing in osteogenic cells -> osteoblasts
  4. Bone remodeling: remodeling of the repaired portion, Osteoclast activity increases to remove dead/damaged cells, spongy bone => cortical bone
