Formation of Trabeculae (Intramembranous ossification step)

Bone matrix forms, develops into trabeculae. Connective tissue near blood vessels in trabeculae differentiate into Red Blood Marrow.

Development of secondary ossification center (Endochondral Ossification step)

Branch of epiphyseal artery enters epiphyses, secondary ossification centers develop around birth time, spongy bone remains in interior of epiphyses. No medullary cavities formed. Proceeds outward from center of epiphyses toward bone surface.

Effect of low blood calcium level

Breathing may cease

Function of bone in calcium homeostasis in blood calcium levels

Nerve cell functions depend on the right levels of

Ca+2

What other hormone is involved in calcium homeostasis; what produces this hormone

Calcitonin (CT); thyroid gland

Growth of cartilage model (Endochondral Ossification step)

Chondroblasts become chondrocytes, cartilage model grows, cells grow, some cells burst or lose contents. pH of surrounding matrix change that triggers calcification. Other cells die and lacunae form and slowly merge into cavities

Cartilage consists of

Dense network of collagen fibers

How is cartilage different from other types of connective tissue

Doesn't have blood supply or nerves, secretes antiangiogenic factors

When does ossification begin

During the 6th week of embryonic development and follows one of two patterns

What appears when your bone stops growing in length

Epiphyseal line

Reticular connective tissue function

Filters and removes worn-out blood cells; forms scaffolding for bone marrow

Muscular tissue

Generates the physical force to move body structures

Synovial Membrane

Flat sheets of pliable tissue that line the cavities of some joints

Hemopoiesis

Formation of blood cells

What happens if too much mineral is deposited

Formation of thick bumps, spurs, which interfere with joint movements

Intramembranous ossification

Hard and not pliable

What does vascular mean

Having a rich blood supply

Effect of high blood calcium level

Heart may stop

Connective tissue consists of

Highly vascular cells and extracellular matrix-has nerve cells

Formation of articular cartilage and epiphyseal plate (Endochondral Ossification step)

Hyaline cartilage covering epiphysis becomes articular cartilage. Prior to adulthood hyaline cartilage remains between diaphysis and epiphyses as epiphyseal plate = lengthwise growth of bones. Growth stops between ages 18-25, cartilage replaced by bone = epiphyseal line.

Where does endochondral ossification occur

Hyaline cartilage that develop from mesenchyme

Development of primary ossification center (Endochondral Ossification step)

Inward from external surface of bone, nutrient artery penetrates perichondrium stimulating osteogenic cells to differentiate into osteoblasts. Perichondrium starts to form bone now known as periosteum. Periosteum capillaries grow into disintegrating calcified cartilage. Primary ossification center forms bone tissue that replaces cartilage. Osteoblasts deposit bone matrix forming spongy bone trabeculae. Osteoblasts break down trabeculae at bone ends leaving a cavity, medullary cavity fills with red blood marrow.

Synovial Membrane location, type, and function

Location: joint area of bones Types: Areolar connective tissue adipose tissue and collagen fiber Function: secretes synovial fluid from synoviocytes that lubricates the end of a bone as the move at the joint, nourishes cartilage, removes microbes and debris from joints

Development of ossification center (Intramembranous ossification step)

Mesenchymal cells cluster and differentiate into osteogenic cells and then into osteoblasts, which secrete organic extracellular matrix of bone until trapped/surrounded

Development of cartilage model (Endochondral Ossification step)

Mesenchymal cells crowd into shape of future bone develop into chondroblasts that secrete cartilage matrix. Consists of hyaline cartilage. Perichondrium develops around cartilage model.

Where does intramembranous ossification occur?

Mesenchyme arranged in sheet layers

Development of Periosteum (Intramembranous Ossification step)

Mesenchyme condenses at periphery and develops into periosteum. Thin layer of compact bone replaces surface layer of spongy bone.

What is the embryonic skeleton composed of?

Mesenchyme shaped like bones, sites/templates where ossification occur

Bone Growth in length

New chondrocytes are formed on epiphyseal side of plate, old chondrocytes and diaphyseal side are replaced by bone thus thickness of epiphyseal plate remains constant but on diaphyseal side it increase.

Do all types of connective tissue have nerves? If some do not, name them

No; cartilage and tendons

Growth in thickness

On surface, cells in the perichondrium differentiate into osteoblasts, lamella are added to the surface of the boe, new osteons of compact bone tissue.

Bone remodeling

Ongoing replacement of old bone tissue by new bone tissue

Parathyroid hormones; parathyroid gland

What surrounds the surface of cartilage

Perichondrium (dense irregular connective tissue)

Cell junctions

Point of contact between plasma membranes of tissue cells

Development of medullary cavity (Endochondral Ossification step)

Primary ossification center grows towards ends of bone. Osteoclasts break down some of the newly formed spongy bone trabeculae. Activity leaves a cavity, medullary, in the diaphysis. Diaphysis is replaced by compact bone.

Tissue Repair

Process that replaces worn out, damaged, or dead cells

Blood cell production (function of bone)

Produces red and white blood cells and platelets in connective tissue and developing bones

Dense regular connective tissue function

Provides strong attachment between structures

Reticular fiber function

Provides support and strength; forms stroma and basement membrane

Resorption

Removal of minerals and collagen fibers from bone by osteoclasts; results in destruction of bone extracellular matrix

Endochondral Ossification

Replacement of cartilage by bone; most bone if formed this way

Calcification (Intramembranous Ossification step)

Secretion of extracellular matrix stops. Osteocytes lie in lacunae and extend narrow cytoplasmic processes into canaliculi. Calcium and other mineral salts are deposited. Extracellular matrix calcifies.
