Study Notes

Intramembranous Ossification

  • Involves bone development from fibrous membranes.
  • Responsible for forming flat bones of the skull, mandible, and clavicles.

Endochondral Ossification

  • Involves bone development from hyaline cartilage.
  • Applies to all bones except flat bones of the skull, mandible, and clavicles.
  • Particularly significant for the formation of long bones, such as the femur.

Mesenchyme

  • Embryonic connective tissue characterized by widely spaced cells and a rich intercellular matrix.

Interstitial Growth

  • Lengthens bones through cartilage growth and replacement with bone tissue.
  • Occurs at the epiphyseal plate, ceasing after teenage years.
  • Driven by division of cartilage cells leading to increased bone length.

Appositional Growth

  • Increases bone thickness via the addition of extracellular matrix on peripheral cartilage surfaces.
  • Occurs just beneath the periosteum, contributing to bone width.

Anatomical Landmarks

  • Foramen: A general name for a hole in bone.
  • Head: Refers to the larger end of a long bone.
  • Epicondyle: A raised projection located on or above a condyle.

Bone Development Processes

  • Endochondral Ossification begins with the formation of a hyaline cartilage model.
  • Intramembranous Ossification results from mesenchyme directly differentiating into osteoblasts.

Bone Growth Types

  • Interstitial Growth: Increases bone length through cartilage cell division.
  • Appositional Growth: Increases bone width and occurs under the periosteum.
