A) Growth plate and Endochondral ossification: In order to maintain a healthy skeletal system which is crucial for different organs such as respiratory system‚ brain‚ spinal cord and heart‚ it is very important to have a good development of the skeletal system. Endochondral ossification is the process through which the axial and appendicular skeletons are formed through the formation of a cartilage inter-mediate. A good model for endochondral ossification is the limb bud where the precursor cells

* Bone formation termed ossification of calcification * Endochondral ossification – Forms all bones below skull (except clavicle) New bone forms from a hyaline cartilage model Bone tissue replaces the cartilage model Begins in the interior of each bone from an ossification center Ossification center – group of stem cells that transform into osteoblasts Long bones – ossification centers in the diaphysis and each epiphysis Short bones – one ossification center only Irregular bones

Ossification involves the formation of bone by the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts‚ the addition of minerals and salts. Calcium compounds must be present for ossification to take place‚ Osteoblasts do not make these minerals‚ but must take them from the blood and deposit them in the bone. By the time we are born‚ many of our bones have been at least partly ossified. Endochrondral ossification is very important in foetal development (second month) it is the process‚ in which most hyaline

In a type I fracture‚ the epiphysis is separated or slipped from the metaphysis.1 The germinal cells of the growth plate remain with the epiphysis‚ and the calcified layer remains with the metaphysis. (Physeal Injuries) Type I fractures occur most commonly in the distal tibia and fibula‚1 but are uncommon in the wrist‚ accounting for only 8.5% of all Salter-Harris fractures. (Ped.Distal) Upon examination‚ and athlete will be point tender over the growth plate which warrants a referral to an orthopedist

Gigantism is defined as unusual and abnormal largeness or excessive growth due to hormonal imbalance. Example The most remarkable example of a person with gigantism was Robert Wadlow (tallest man in history)‚ called the Alton giant‚ who stood 8 feet 11 inches tall at the time of his death in his mid-20s. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death. Causes Gigantism is abnormally large growth due to an excess of growth hormone during childhood‚ before the bone

Intramembranous ossification [flat bones] & endochondral ossification [long bones].The essential between them is the presence or absence of cartilaginous phase.Intramembranous ossification occurs when mesenchymal precursor cells proliferate & subsequently differentiate directly into osteoblasts w/c mineralize an immature bone tissue called woven bone‚characterize by irregular bundles of randomly oriented collagen fibers & an abundance of partially calcified immature new bone called asteoid.At later

The Joy of Ossification Ossification and osteogenesis are synonyms meaning the process of bone formation. In embryos this process leads to the formation of the bony skeleton. As a person grows‚ another form of ossification known as bone growth goes on until early adulthood as the body continues to increase in size. Bones are capable of growing in thickness throughout life. Intramembranous ossification takes place within the womb and is the process by which flat bones such as some of

FOP is a disorder that causes a person’s muscle and connective tissue‚ such as ligaments and tendons‚ to slowly be replaced by bone. This is done through a process known as ‘ossification’‚ where bone forms outside of the skeleton. This constrains the affected person’s ability to move. For some people the bone growth is a rapid event. While others experience a gradual progression of bone formation. Currently‚ doctors cannot predict

Heterotopic Ossification In Spinal Cord Injury Patients By Anitia Gram Heterotopic Ossification (HO) in spinal cord injury patients is a common complication seen a few weeks to months following injury. This paper will focus on R.B. A C2 ASIA A quadriplegic patient and his course of treatment for early HO that was detected in his right hip approximately 1 month following his accident. Heterotopic ossification is the presence of bone in the soft tissue where bone does not normally exist. The

a skeleton. Beneath the compact bone are layers of cancellous bone. The innermost part is comprised of bone marrow‚ a thick jelly that produces blood cells. As your baby grows inside of you‚ bones begin to replace cartilage in a process called ossification. Between week 13 and week 16 of gestation‚ your baby will begin developing bone to replace cartilage. Tiny little ribs begin to appear across his chest and his skeleton begins to take form. Before this development‚ your baby’s bones were comprised
