What is the difference between ossification and calcification?
Ossification is bone formation. Calcification is the hardening of tissue into a bonelike structure. Not much, Thay are the same process with different names.
What do you call the deposition of calcium salts into bone tissue?
calcification
Explain the difference between leaching and calcification?
Leaching is a process in which minerals are extracted from a solid by dissolving it into a liquid. Calcification is the build up of calcium salts in body tissue.
At the epiphyseal plate, which zone is characterized by older cartilage cells that are enlarging?
d) hypertrophic zone
What cell responsible for early stage of endocondral ossification?
Osteoprogenitor cells are undifferentiated cells found in the perichondrium. These later become osteoblasts - which secrete osteoid (part of the bone matrix). Chondrocytes are responsible for calcification.
What is calcium buildup in muscle called?
Calcification in soft tissue, such as muscle, is called 'Calcinosis'. If it progresses into ossification (which involves the orderly deposition of calcium), it is called 'myositis ossificans'. However, the condition can occur in other connective tissue as well and may result from any kind of injury, including but not limited to inflammation. The term 'heterotropic ossification' has been proposed to replace it.
What is the process of cartilage turning into hard adults bones?
Ossification
What is parenchymal calcification?
parenchymal calcification
Most bones of the body form by which type of ossification?
Intramembranous ossification
Do growth plates lie between primary and secondary ossification centers?
yes they do
Describe in proper order the events of endochondral ossification?
1. a bone collar is laid down around the diaphysis of the hyaline cartilage model. 2. cartilage in the center of the diaphysis calcifies and then develops cavities. 3. the periosteal bud invades the internal cavities and spongy bone forms. 4. the diaphysis elongates and a medullary cavity forms. 5. the epiphyses ossify.
Ossification of flat bones is called?
Intramembranous ossification
