New cards

ossification (osteogenesis)

The process of bone tissue formation

2
New cards

what is the four situation bone formation occurs

  • Embryonic Formation of the skeleton (happens in month 2 of develop)

  • Postnatal bone growth occurs until early adulthood (25yrs old)

  • Bone Remodeling (lifelong)

  • Fracture repair (lifelong, not exactly part of the cycle above)

3
New cards

is it cartilage before bone or no?

yes, cartilage before bone

4
New cards

intramembranous ossification

•begins within fibrous CT membranes formed by mesenchymal cells

•Forms flat bones of skull and mandible

•Four major steps involved

5
New cards

Endochondral ossification

•hyaline cartilage models are replaced by bone during fetal development

•forms most bones of the body

•Begins at primary ossification center in center of shaft

6
New cards

what is a fontanel

soft spots on fetal skull

7
New cards

(The parental cell, that can become different cells) Intramembranous Ossification begins with fibrous CT membranes formed by

mesenchymal cells

8
New cards

What are the four major steps involved with Intramembranous Ossification

1.Ossification centers are formed when mesenchymal cells cluster and become osteoblasts

2.osteoid is secreted, then calcified

3.Immature spongy bone (Woven Bone) is formed when osteoid is laid down around blood vessels, resulting in trabeculae

4.Compact bone replaces immature spongy bone, just deep to the periosteum, red marrow develops

9
New cards

When does endochondral ossification begin

at primary ossification center in center of shaft

10
New cards

what are the 5 steps of endochondral ossification

  1. bone collar forms around diaphysis of cartilage model

  2. central cartilage in diaphysis calcifies, then develops cavities

  3. periosteal bud invades cavities leading to(spongey bone)

  4. diaphysis elongates, and medullary cavity forms

  5. epiphyses ossify (hyaline cartilage remains only in epiphyseal plates and cartilages)

11
New cards

where is the medullary cavity found in long bone

MIDDLE of bone

12
New cards

growth in length of bone growth

13
New cards

Name the 5 zones of the epiphyseal plate

  2. Proliferation-divison (growth) zone

  3. hypertrophic zone

  4. calcification zone

  5. ossification (osteogenic) zone

14
New cards

explain the resting (quiescent) zone of long bones

area of cartilage on epiphyseal side of epiphyseal plate that is relatively inactive

15
New cards

explain the proliferation (growth) zone of long bones

are of cartilage on diaphysis (below epiphyses) side of epiphyseal plate that rapidly divide; new cells formed move upward pushing epiphysis away from diaphysis causing lengthening

16
New cards

explain the hypertrophic zone of long bones

area with older chondrocytes closer to diaphysis

17
New cards

are newer cells closer to the plate or away from

closer to the plate

18
New cards

explain the calcification zone of long bones

surrounding cartilage matrix calcifies; chondrocytes die and deteriorate

19
New cards

explain the ossification zone for long bones

new bone is forming

20

girth

21
New cards

what process does growth in width/girth occur

oppositional growth (occurs throughout life)

22
New cards

typically when growing do we see more building up then breaking down or more breaking down then building up

building up

23
New cards

bone remodeling consists of both of what

bone deposition and bone resorption

24
New cards

where does bone remodeling occur

occurs at surfaces of both periosteum and endosteum

25
New cards

in bone remodeling, what is Wolff’s Law

bones grow or remodel in response to demands placed on them

26
New cards

where does Trabeculae form

along stress lines

27
New cards

what does normal bone metabolism depend on

  1. Minerals

    -large amts. of calcium and phosphorous

    -small. amts. of magnesium, fluoride, and manganese

  2. Vitamins

    -Vitamin A

    -Vitamin C: Collagen Synthesis

    -Vitamin D: increases absorption of calcium

    -Vitamin K and B12

28
New cards

skeletal cartilage

made of highly resilient, molded cartilage tissue that consists primarily of water (DOES NOT HAVE BLOOD VESSELS OR NERVES)

29
New cards

Perichondrium

layer of dense connective tissue surrounding cartilage like a girdle (does contain blood vessels for nutrient delivery to cartilage)

30
New cards


what are the three types of cartilage

hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage

31
New cards

name the 7 functions of the bones

support, protection, movement, mineral and growth factor storage, blood cell formation, triglyceride (fat) storage, and hormone production osteocalcin

32
New cards

Bones are classified to four shapes

long bones, short bones, sesamoid, flat bones, and irregular bones

33
New cards

human bones are divided into two groups based on location which includes

axial skeleton- long (straight up and down); skull, vertebral column, rib cage

appendicular skeleton- bones of upper and lower limbs; girdles attaching limbs to axial skeleton

34
New cards

hematopoiesis occurs in

red marrow activities of certain bones

35
New cards

bone (osseous) tissue

predominates, but a bone also has nervous tissue cartilage, fibrous connective tissue, muscle cells, and epithelial cells in its blood vessels.

36
New cards

what is calcification initiated by

bone-forming cells

37
New cards

osteogenic cells are

stem cells that divide mitotically to produce osteoblasts

38
New cards

osteoblasts

immature bone-forming cells that make the ECM of bone tissue

39
New cards


osteocytes

mature bone cells in the lacunae

40
New cards

trabeculae

thin columns and plates of bone that create a spongy structure in a cancellous bone (contains red bone marrow)

41
New cards

ossification (osteogenesis)

the process of bone tissue formation

42
New cards

bone formation occurs in four situation which include

embryonic formation of skeleton(month 2 of development) , postnatal bone growth occurs until early adulthood, bone remodeling (lifelong), and fracture repair (lifelong)

43
New cards

hormonal controls

Growth factors (IGFs) produced by the liver are most important to childhood bone growth

calcitonin

produced by thyroid gland in response to high levels of blood calcium levels

48
New cards

three ways to classify fractures

•position of bone ends after fracture

49
New cards

comminuted fracture

bone fragments into three or more pieces

50
New cards

compression fracture

bone is crushed

51
New cards

spiral fracture

twisting; ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone

52
New cards

epiphyseal fracture

when the epiphysis and diaphysis separate along the epiphyseal (GROWTH) plate

53
New cards

depressed fracture

broken bone portion is pressed inward; type of skull fracture

54
New cards

greenstick

bone breaks incompletely, in a way a green twig breaks. only one side of the shaft breaks while the other side bends

55
New cards

name the four major stages of fracture repair

  1. Hematoma formation-blood clots; site is swollen and painful

  2. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation: fibroblasts invade the fracture site and produce collagen fibers bridging the broken ends of bone

  3. Bony callus formation-osteo blasts begin to produce spongy bone joining portions of original bone fragment

  4. bone remodeling- compact bone replaces spongy bone

56
New cards

cartilage is always before what

bone

57
New cards

what are the three major bone disorders

osteomalacia-bones are poorly mineralized

rickets (osteomalacia of children)-results in bowed legs and other bone deformities caused by malnutrition

osteoporosis- a group of diseases in which bone resorption exceeds deposit (bone mass declines)

58
New cards

two effects of aging increase susceptibility to fractures

1.) loss of bone mass (osteoporosis)

2.) Increased brittleness

59
New cards

periosteum covers what and endosteum covers what

what is cartilage

flexible connective tissue that protects joints and bones

61
New cards

what is a joint

part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement

62

63
New cards

where does primary bone ossification occur?

in the center shaft of center of shaft

64
New cards

How does intramembranous ossification differ from endochondral ossification?

Intramembranous ossification directly converts mesenchymal tissue into bone, while endochondral ossification begins with mesenchymal tissue transforming into a cartilage intermediate.
