TMJ & Meckel's Cartilage Flashcards
TERM – the initial appearance(s) of bone tissue in the area where each of the 206 bone organs of the body form
Ossification Centers
The ossification centers appear in different 2 environments
1.
2.
- Within Mesenchyme
- Within Cartilage Model
If the ossification center is…
- Within mesenchyme –> _________ bone organ development
- Within a cartilage model –> __________ bone organ development
- Intramembranous
- Endochondral
True or False?
The number of ossification centers vary from bone to bone
TRUE
How many ossification centers in…
- Mandible?
- Maxilla?
- Mandible – 2
- Maxilla – 4 (2/bone)
The Mandible and Maxilla are examples of _________ bone development
Intramembranous
The ulna and femur are examples of ______ bone organ development
Endochondral
Some bones such as the _________ ______ have both intramembranous and endochondrial ossification centers and are referred to as having “_____ _____ _____”
Temporal Bones
Mixed Ossification Centers
TERM – The addition of bone tissue to a bone organ
Growth Sites
The following are examples of ______ _______
- Periosteum
- Endosteium
- Haversian/Volkman Canals
- PDL
Growth Sites
No matter what environment bone tissue forms in or on, it always forms within a highly ______connective tisssue which is referred to as intramembranous bone tissue formation (not OSS. Centers!)
Vascular
Paired Meckels Cartilages:
- Temporary skeleton of ______ processes of BA 1
- Temporary attachment for _______ that will attach to mandible eventually
- Each cartilage serves as models for the 2 ear ossicles:
____ & _____
- Each serve as a site for the appearance of 2 ligaments
_____ & _____
- Serve as temporary ______-_____ plate of the forming mandible halves
- Serve enclosed ______ _____ at the chin end of the mandible halves
- Temporary skeleton of mandibular processes of BA 1
- Temporary attachment for muscles that will attach to mandible eventually
- Each cartilage serves as models for the 2 ear ossicles:
Malleus & Incus
- Each serve as a site for the appearance of 2 ligaments
Anterior Mallelar and Sphenomandibular
- Serve as temporary anterior-lingual plate of the forming mandible halves
- Serve enclosed growth sites at the chin end of the mandible halves
Fate of Meckel’s Cartilage…
From the proximal (inner ear) –> distal (chin)… each cartilage serves as sites for:
- Endochondral Ossification Centers for 2 ear ossicles
- Undergo retrogressive changes becoming 2 ligaments
- Undergo growth, mineralization, and resorption while serving as anterior growth sites and replaced as temporary anterior lingual plates by encroaching bone tissue of the growing mandible halves
Meckel’s cartilages serve as both _____ _____ of the ear ossicles and as a ______ ______ of each mandible halve.
Ossification Centers
Growth Site
The enclosed anterior parts of Meckel’s cartilages serve as
1.
2.
- Temporary Lingual Plate of mandible halves
- Growth Site of Developing mandible halves
