Q

what is primary displacement?

A
  • movement of a bone due to its own growth
  • can occur in either direction, depending on the ratio of resorption to deposition and other structures
  • bones often move in the opposite direction from which they are depositing matrix, as is often the case in articular surfaces and joints

Q

describe directional bone growth

A
  • can occur by the deposition of bone on a surface, with concomitant resorption on another
    • typically asymmetric growth so as to maintain some proportion
    • some surfaces grow more than others, and some undergo resorption more than others
    • deposition and resorption rates at a surface can change over time and even switch
  • can occur at the endosteal or periosteal surfaces

A

mesenchymal gaps between bones of the calvaria

A

unossified sutures between 2 or more skull bones

30
Q

___ and ___ allow for growth of the skull to make room for more brain
