Questions For General Skeletal System
Which bone growth occurs just deep to the periosteum?
Appositional Growth
Which increases the bone organ in width?
Appositional Growth
Which bones of the skeleton develop by endochondral ossification?
The process of bone development from hyaline cartilage. All the bones of the body except for the flat bones of the skull, mandible, and clavicles. Especially long bones (femur)
Which bone development starts with the formation of a hyaline cartilage model?
Endochondral Ossification
What is the general anatomical landmark name for the raised projection on or above a condyle?
Epicondyle
What is the general anatomical landmark name for a hole in bone?
Foramen
What is the general anatomical landmark name for the larger end of long bone?
Head
Which bone growth is actually the result of the division of cartilage cells?
Intersitial Growth
Which increases the bone organ in length?
Interstitial Growth
Which bone development results when mesenchyme directly differentiates into osteoblasts?
Intramembranous Ossification
Which bones of the skeleton develop by intramembranous ossification?
Intramembranous Ossification is the process of bone development form fibrous membranes. It is involved in the formation of the flat bones of the skill, the mandible, and the clavicles.
Describe the process of Intersitial Growth
It is the lengthening of the bone, resulting from the growth of cartilage and its replacement with bone tissue. A person grows TALLER because of Intersitial Growth. This growth occurs in the epiphyseal plate and continues until the person reaches their teenage years. Bone Growth results from division of cartiale cells, (grows in length)
What is the embryonic connective tissue called
Mesenchyme. The cells are widely spaced, with an abundance of intercellular matrix
Describe the process of Appositional Growth
Occurs when the cartilage model also grows in THICKNESS due to the addition of more extracellular matrix on the peripheral cartilage surface. Occurs just deep to the periosteum, (grows in width)
