59
Q

Cartilage Growth

A

Interstitial Growth: increase in length
Appositional Growth: increase in width
-interstitial growth decreases as cartilage matures because cartilage becomes semirigid and isn’t able to expand
-later growth primarily appositional
-growth only occurs after injury but is limited due to lack of blood vessels

60
Q

Steps in Interstitial Growth

A

1) Chondrocytes housed within lacunae are stimulated to undergo mitotic cell division
2) Following Cell Division, 2 cells occupy single lacuna (now called chondroblasts)
3) As chondroblasts begin to synthesize and secrete new cartilage matrix, they are pushed apart (each cell now resides in its own lacuna and called a chondrocyte)
4) Cartilage continues to grow in internal regions as chondrocytes continue to produce more matrix

61
Q

Steps in Appositional Growth

A

1) Undifferentiated stem cells at internal edge if perichondrium begin to divide
2) -New undifferentiated stem cells and committed cells that differentiate into chondroblasts form -chondroblasts at periphery edge of old cartilage begin to produce/secrete new cartilage matrix)
3) -Chondroblasts push apart and become chondrocytes with each occupying its own lacuna
-Cartilage continues to grow at periphery as chondrocytes continue to produce matrix

62
Q

64
Q

Steps of Intermembranous Ossification

A

1) Ossification centers form within thickened regions of mesenchyme beginning at 8th week of development (# ossification centers increases as # of osteoblasts increase)
2) Osteoid undergoes calcification
3) Woven bone and its surrounding periosteum form
4) Lamellar bone replaces woven bone as compact and spongy bone form

65
Q

66
Q

Produces bones of skeleton (upper and lower limbs, pelvis, vertebrae, and ends of clavicle)

67
Q

Steps of Endochondral Ossification

A

1) Fetal hyaline cartilage model develops
2) Cartilage calcifies and periosteal bone collar forms
3) Primary ossification center forms in diaphysis
4) Secondary ossification center forms in epiphyses
5) Bone replaces almost all cartilage, except articular cartilage and epiphyseal cartilage
6) Lengthwise growth continues until epiphyseal plate ossifies and forms epiphyseal line

-Calcium levels regulated by calcitriol, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin

85
Q

Conversion of Vitamin D into Calcitriol

A

1) UV light converts molecule in keratinocytes to vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which is released into blood
