Quiz 1 - Colombo - Development Of The Craniofacial Skeleton Flashcards
What is bone?
Hydroxyapatite on a collagenous matrix, with various attendant non-collagenous proteins
Enamel lacks the _______ structure, but has hydroxyapatite
Cartilaginous
T/F - Cementum resembles bone.
TRUE
What are the two bone forming processes?
Endochondral - Formed on a cartilage template (long bones)
Intramembranous - Formed from a condensation of mesenchyme - most of the mandible, skull plates
Define initiation.
Start of ossification, whether conversion of cartilage to bone, or condensation and ossification of mesenchyme/neural crest
Define growth.
Addition of more bony matrix to a pre-existing bone; thickening, elongation
Define primary displacement.
Movement of bone due to its own growth
Define secondary displacement.
Movement of a bone due to the growth of other bones
Define remodeling.
Growth involving simultaneous deposition and resorption on all peri- and endosteal surfaces; changes size, shape, proportion, relationship w/ adjacent structures
Define drift.
Remodeling that results in movement of a bone towards the deposition surface
Define functional matrix.
Tissue that guides a bone’s growth by exerting a force upon the bone
T/F - Directional bone growth can occur by the deposition of bone on a surface, with concomitant (same time) resorption on another.
TRUE
*Bones can also get wider this way
How do bones move?
Thru resorption and deposition
*This is primary displacement - the bone doing this to itself
What is secondary displacement?
Growth of one bone causes growth in another
*I.e. distal phalange grows itself (primary displacement), but most of the movement is due to growth of long bones of the arm (secondary displacement)
T/F - Bone growth is not typically equal in all directions, but asymmetric, and this maintains proportion.
TRUE
What is a growth field?
Where matrix can be laid down or resorbed
What is a growth site?
Fields of significance to growth of a bone
What is a growth center?
Special growth sites, control overall growth of bone
*Epiphyseal plates of long bones
