What structure is involved in long bone growth length?
Intramembranous ossification Endochondral ossification Appositional growth
What structure allows bones to grow in thickness?
Bones grow in length by endochondral ossification. It begins with cartilage that acts like a model of the bone that will grow. The bone grows in length and diameter(appositional). the structure that allows this is the epiphyseal cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis. When the bone is fully grown this cartilage will become bone and simply the epiphyseal line.
How is bone marrow articular cartilage the epiphyseal line and epiphyseal plate related?
The epiphyseal plate is a section of hyaline cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis in long bones. The growth and ossification of the epiphyseal plate is responsible for the bone growing longer. Articulate cartilage is similar, however, it is found on the outside layer of the epiphysis. It grows and resorbs allowing for the remodelling of the bone. The epiphyseal line is the remains of the epiphyseal plate once it has stopped growing.
Which ossification method would form a femur?
The femur is formed through the endochondral ossification process. This is where bone replaces the cartilage. There are six steps in this type of ossification and they are as follows; one the development of cartilage model, two the growth of the cartilage model, three the development of the primary ossification center, four the development of the medullary cavity, five the development of the secondary ossification centers, and six the formation of articular cartilage and the epiphyseal plate.
Does the overproduction of the growth hormone causes premature ossification of the epiphyseal disc?
No the overproduction of growth hormones can cause pituitary gigantism. The over production of Sex hormones( estrogen /testosterone) can cause premature ossification;estrogen more so than testosterone.
Where does cartilage remain in a long bone after ossification has occurred?
After ossification, cartilage remains in the articular cartilage at the ends of long bones. This cartilage provides a smooth surface for joint movement and helps reduce friction and absorb shock. Additionally, small amounts of cartilage can also be found in the growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, which are responsible for bone growth during childhood and adolescence.
At the epiphyseal plate, which zone is characterized by older cartilage cells that are enlarging?
d) hypertrophic zone
Where do you find primary and secondary ossification centers?
The primary ossification center is located in endochondral bones (the bones that form as a fetus is growing in the womb). It is in the shaft part of the bone (diaphysis), or the long, skinny part of it. Growth takes place in the epiphysial center of ossification. This primary ossification center is the key location for bone formation.
What is the process of cartilage turning into hard adults bones?
Ossification
Most bones of the body form by which type of ossification?
Intramembranous ossification
Ossification of flat bones is called?
Intramembranous ossification
What are the two types of ossification?
Intramembranous and Endochondral Ossification
