At 12 WEEKS: FETAL SKELETON • Pink Bones are Cartilagnous • Red Bones are Ossified (Calcium) • You Should Know that the Skull bones ( flat bones) were NEVER cartilage! They formed directly into bone ( de novo)
How and When Do Our Bones Ossify? • Osteogenesis and Ossification are synonymous terms
How and When Do Our Bones Ossify? • 1. The hyaline cartilage of fetal skeleton changes to bone during the first 3 months of life. Also, certain bones form “de novo”. • 2. Bones grow in length through early adulthood causing growth in height . Bones thicken throughout life. • 3. All through life there is REMODELING and REPAIR
So.. When The Fetal Turns to Bone, It does it in Either of 2 Ways.. Depending On Which Bone We are Referring to…
Direct Ossification The embryonic connective tissue ossifies directly… (intramembranous ossification) Intramembranous ossification takes place in the so-called dermal bones of the skull, clavicles and mandible.
Intramembranous Ossification • Condensation of mesenchyme into trabeculae • Osteoblasts on trabeculae lay down osteoid tissue (uncalcified bone) • Calcium phosphate is deposited in the matrix forming bony trabeculae of spongy bone • Osteoclasts create marrow cavity • Osteoblasts form compact bone at surface • Surface mesenchyme produces periosteum
Intramembranous Ossification 1 • Produces flat bones of skull clavicle. Mandible.
Cartilage to BONE ENDOCHRONDAL OSSIFICATION: THE STEPS OF:
Briefly Speaking… • Mesenchymal Cells form Pericondrium which then forms hyaline • Formation of Primary Ossification Center, Bony Collar and Periostium • Formation of Secondary Ossification of Center, Penetration of Blood Vessels into Bony Collar • A Secondary Marrow Cavity appears in the epiphysis . • Spongy Bone fills the epiphyses
Epiphyseal Plate • This is the zone where bones elongate; It is the “growth zone” of bones. • A strip of hyaline cartilage that consists of “zones” • The transitional zone, facing the marrow cavity is called the METAPHYSIS.
The Metaphysis • Zone of reserve cartilage = hyaline cartilage • Zone of proliferation • chondrocytes multiply forming columns of flat lacunae • Zone of hypertrophy = cell enlargement • Zone of calcification • mineralization of matrix • Zone of bone deposition • chondrocytes die and columns fill with osteoblasts • osteons formed and spongy bone is created
How Does A Child Grow in Height? • Chondrocyte multiplication in zone 2 and hypertrophy in zone 3 continually push cartilage in zone 1 towards the end of the bone and the bone elongates.
Intestitial Growth • Bones Grow Longer • Bone elongation is really a result of cartilage growth. Chondrocytes multiply and then there is depostion matrix in the interior. • What happens if there is an ERROR in interstitial growth in long bones???
When no elongation…… • A condition called: Achondroplastic Dwarfism As a child failure of chondrocytes in zones 2 and 3 of metaphysis in long bones, fail to multiply and enlarge. Other bones are unaffected. Person is dwafted but trunk and head size normal.
Dwarfism • Achondroplastic • long bones stop growing in childhood • normal torso, short limbs • spontaneous mutation during DNA replication • failure of cartilage growth • Pituitary • lack of growth hormone • normal proportions with short stature
Wolf’s Law of Bone • States that the architecture of a bone is determined by the mechanical stresses placed upon it. • Bone remodeling is a collaboration of the action of osteoblasts and osteoclasts • It bone is NOT used, osteoclasts get rid of bone matrix…less bone mass. • It bone is heavily used, or stress is applied, osteoblasts deposit and thicken bone.
