Study Notes
Bone Development
- Bone develops in connective tissue (CT) from mesenchyme and cartilage.
- Bone is constantly replaced by osteoblasts and osteoclasts throughout life.
Intramembranous ossification
- Bone develops directly in mesenchyme.
- Mesenchyme is unorganized CT that forms membranous sheaths.
- Forms most axial bones.
Endochondral ossification
- Bone develops from cartilaginous models.
- Forms most appendicular bones.
Endochondral Ossification: Primary Centers
- During week 5 of development, mesenchymal cells form models of hyaline cartilage surrounded by perichondrium.
- Bone collar forms around the diaphysis (shaft) from osteoblasts in the perichondrium.
- Chondrocytes in the diaphysis hypertrophy, cutting off nutrient supply and leading to apoptosis. This creates the marrow cavity.
- Blood vessels penetrate the periosteum and bone collar, bringing osteoprogenitor cells to form primary centers of ossification.
- Osteoprogenitor cells become osteoblasts or hematopoietic cells.
- Osteoblasts deposit bone matrix (osteoid and hydroxyapatite), replacing cartilage.
- Most diaphyses are ossified at birth.
Endochondral Ossification: Secondary Centers
- Form in epiphyses after birth.
- Develop similarly to primary centers; however, trabecular bone replaces medullary cavity.
Bone Growth
- Appositional/Periosteal Growth: Growth in diameter that occurs in compact bone along the diaphyseal shaft.
Somite Differentiation
- Somites develop from the paraxial mesoderm, located adjacent to the notochord.
- Somites form in a cranial to caudal direction.
- Sclerotome forms bone and cartilage.
- Myotome forms skeletal muscle.
- Dermatome forms dermis.
Differentiation of Somites
- Somite differentiation begins during the fourth week of development in the mesoderm of the trilaminar embryo.
- The dermomyotome differentiates into the dermatome (dermis and accessory organs) and myotome (muscle).
- The sclerotome migrates to form bone and connective tissue.
Development of the Trunk
- Mesodermal cells from the sclerotome migrate and condense around the notochord, neural tube, and lateral body wall.
- Condensed cells form the centrum (vertebral body), vertebral arches (future ribs), and costal processes.
Development of Trunk Myotomes
- Myotomes divide and migrate, taking spinal nerve branches with them, establishing a patterned innervation of muscle groups.
- Myotomes form the epaxial (dorsal to vertebral column) and hypaxial (ventral to vertebral column) muscle divisions.
Epaxial Muscle Division
- Form the posterior, segmented muscles of the main body axis.
- Extensor muscles of the neck and vertebral column.
- Examples: Neck and vertebral column extensors.
Hypaxial Muscle Division
- Form the anterior/ventral, segmented muscles of the main body axis.
- Flexor muscles of the neck and vertebral column.
- Examples: Scalene muscles, longus colli and capitis, infrahyoid muscles, geniohyoid (cervical myotomes) and lateral and ventral flexors of the vertebral column (thoracic myotomes).
- Also includes the quadratus lumborum (lumbar myotomes) and the pelvic diaphragm (sacrococcygeal myotomes).
Bone Growth & Ossification
- Epiphyses are the ends of long bones (e.g., humerus, femur) and are initially made of cartilage.
- Secondary ossification centers form after birth to further develop the ends of long bones.
- Bone lengthening occurs at the epiphyseal plate, a cartilaginous growth plate.
- Medullary cavity inside long bones continues to expand through osteoblasts and osteoclasts activity.
- Abnormal cartilage growth can lead to disorders like stiff person syndrome, where cartilage turns to bone.
- Bone growth happens in two ways:
- Interstitial growth (length) occurs at the epiphyseal plate.
- Appositional growth (width) occurs at the outer compact bone layer.
- Periosteum is a connective tissue covering long bones that contains osteoprogenitor cells.
Bone Formation & Development
- Endochondral ossification is the process by which cartilage is replaced by bone.
- Cartilage is calcified and hardened.
- Osteoblasts deposit bone onto the calcified cartilage, replacing it.
- Axial musculoskeletal system develops from mesodermal cells, specifically the sclerotome, which condense at the midline of the embryo.
- Limb buds are the precursors to limbs and contain myogenic precursor cells that differentiate into muscle cells.
- Epithelial mesenchymal transformation is a key process in limb development.
Limb Bud Development
- Proximodistal growth (from midline outwards) is driven by the apical ectodermal ridge.
- Anterior-posterior patterning (thumb to pinky) is influenced by the zone of polarizing activity.
- Lateral-medial patterning (radial/tibial to fibular/ulnar) is also affected by the zone of polarizing activity.
Bone Healing
- Fracture healing involves a series of steps:
- Osteoclasts remove bone fragments.
- Bone formation occurs to replace damaged bone.
