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.
