when does osteogenesis occur?

when does embryos skeleton start to form?

6/40

what gives rise to bone cells in embryos and name the processes

in utero what bone is formed?

why is collagen structured haphazardly in bone in utero baby?

force in lines of stress but no stress in womb so arranged haphazardly as baby is free floating


extra info

epiphysis remain cartilaginous last

what is ossification absent from?

what happens to bone following birth and why?

due to increased innervation and motor development



so new functions so new forces and in new lines of stress



increase bone mineralisation, density of collagen and reorientate osteons to best match function

2 types of bone growth?

when/where/how does longitudinal bone growth occur?

in epiphyseal plate theres chondroblasts which secretes extra cellular matrix of cartilage which is collagen type 2 and non collagenous proteins

detailed description of longitudinal bone growth?

within epiphyseal plate


lots of chondroblasts


proliferate(mitosis) to produce more chondroblasts which produce cartilage


the cartilage is mineralised (calcified) - harden


blasts surrounded by mineralised hard extracellular matrix so no blood supply therefore chondroblasts die and cartilage deteriorates


cartilage is broken down further and ossified


so turn cartilage into bone


resulting in elongation of diaphysis


resulting in elongation of shaft



osteoclasts remove/break down bone inside increasing size of medullary cavity

what does linear growth depend on?

calcium, protein, vitamin D

what does growth hormone do to growth plate?

growth hormone causes epiphyseal plate to ossify



water hygiene

epiphyseal plate fractures and complications

what/when and why does appositional bone growth occur?

how does appositional bone growth occur?

reasons for bone remodelling through life?

what is bone remodeling?

balance of cellular activity in bone remodelling - in children?

balance of cellular activity in bone remodelling - in adults?

balance of cellular activity in bone remodelling - in ageing adults?

what is the remodelling unit?

what controls the remodelling unit?

what is control loop 1?

how does the hormonal loop (Ca2+ homeostasis) control bone remodelling?

sequestration means deposition

what is control loop 2?

how does mechanical forces control bone remodelling?

what can the activity of osteocytes and their interaction with the remodelling unit lead to?

are the 2 control loops interdependent or independent mechanisms?

extra info

extra info

wolfs law in action

bone abnormalities (achondroplasia)


due to


gene mutation


faulty genetic programming of hyaline cartilage receptors


hyaline cartilage doesn't function properly


so lack of bone development especially in epiphyseal growth plate



bone abnormalities (stunting/dwarfism)

bone abnormalities (stunting/dwarfism)

bone abnormalities (gigantism)

bone abnormalities (acromegaly)
