Study Notes

Bone Formation and Remodeling

Bone formation occurs through two mechanisms: intramembranous and endochondral ossification
Intramembranous ossification forms flat bones of the skull and face, as well as the clavicle bone
Endochondral ossification forms long bones and begins at the 8th week of gestation
The periosteal layer of the dura matter is absent when the calvarium is removed from a cadaver, contributing to the absence of the periosteal layer
Endochondral bone formation starts at 12 weeks of gestation in the primary ossification center of the cartilage model
Long bones undergo continuous widening until they reach their final diameter, significantly contributed to by the periosteum through appositional growth
The tunnel in bone consists of a cutting cone of advancing osteoclasts followed by a closing cone of osteoblasts
With time, bone matrix in each lamella becomes mineralized, and in healthy adults, 5%-10% of bone turns over annually
Bone remodeling involves the collaboration between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and an imbalance can lead to health conditions such as osteoporosis
Intramembranous bone formation begins with mesenchymal cells migrating to the site where flat bones are formed and differentiating into osteoblasts
Osteoblasts deposit consecutive layers of bone until Haversian systems, each with a central canal containing blood vessels, are created
Endosteal cells differentiate into osteoblasts, depositing consecutive layers of bone until the spongy bone is remodeled into compact bone.
