Study Notes

Myogenesis

Muscle fibers are formed from mesodermal cells
Mesenchymal cells elongate and differentiate into myoblasts
Myoblasts fuse to form elongated, multinucleated myotubes
Myotubes differentiate into striated muscle fibers
Some progenitor cells remain on the periphery of fibers and form satellite cells
Muscle fibers are surrounded by external laminae

Overlying Connective Tissue

Endomysium is formed by external laminae of muscle fibers and reticular fibers
Perimysium and epimysium are produced by fibroblasts

Chondrogenesis

Begins during week 5
Mesenchyme condenses to form chondrification centers
Cells differentiate forming chondroblasts, which mitotically divide
Chondroblasts secrete extracellular matrix
Most muscles are formed by birth and all by the end of the first year

Ossification Centers

Ossification centers are locations where bone formation occurs.
Primary ossification centers are the first areas of bone formation.
Mesenchyme condenses at these centers and blood vessels bring in cells.
Some mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts, which contribute to bone formation.

Woven Bone

Woven bone is an unorganized type of bone deposited during early bone formation.
It appears porous and disorganized compared to mature bone.
Woven bone is eventually replaced by more organized lamellar bone.
Woven bone can be seen in abnormal bone growth.

Flat Bone Ossification

Ossification of flat bones (e.g., cranial vault, ribs) involves two surface plates of compact bone.
Between these plates is spongy bone, which is the primary site of bone marrow formation.

Endochondral Ossification

Endochondral ossification is a process of bone development where a hyaline cartilage model is replaced by bone.
It occurs during the fifth week of development.
The hyaline cartilage model is surrounded by a layer of perichondrium.
The perichondrium contains osteoprogenitor cells that differentiate into osteoblasts.
A thin layer of bone, called the periosteal bone collar, forms around the diaphysis of the hyaline cartilage model.

Bone Marrow

Bone marrow is a tissue found within bones.
In growing individuals, red bone marrow is abundant, especially within cranial bones.
Red bone marrow plays an important role in blood cell production.

Other Important Information

Endochondral ossification forms most long bones (except the clavicle).
Bone marrow is located in the spaces of spongy bone.
Both endochondral and intramembranous ossification result in bone formation.
Osteoclasts are responsible for bone resorption, maintaining the balance of bone growth and remodeling.
