Endosteum
structure of the long bone
* Single cellular layer of C T that lines all internal spaces including cavities in spongy bone and
medullary cavity.
* Includes osteoblasts, osteoclasts , and osteochondral progenitor cells.
periosteum
perforating fibers
endosteum
Flat bones
Short and irregular bones
Intramembranous ossification.
bone development
* Takes place in embryonic connective tissue membrane.
Endochondral ossification.
bone development
* Takes place in cartilage.
* Produce woven bone that is then remodeled.
* After remodeling, formation cannot be distinguished as one or other.
Intramembranous ossification
Takes place in connective tissue membrane formed from
embryonic mesenchyme.
* Forms many skull bones, part of mandible, diaphyses of clavicles.
* Begins about the 5th week of embryonic development when embryonic mesenchyme condenses around the developing brain to form a membrane of C T with delicate, randomly oriented collagen fibers.
Centers of ossification
locations in membrane where ossification begins.
Fontanels
large membrane-covered spaces between
developing skull bones; unossified.
Osteoblast formation
Some embryonic mesenchymal cells in the
connective tissue membrane differentiate into osteochondral progenitor cells which then form osteoblasts. The osteoblasts form bone matrix
which will surround the collagen fibers of the connective tissue membrane. Once they are embedded in bone matrix, the osteoblasts become osteocytes. As a result, many tiny trabeculae of woven bone develop
Spongy bone formation
Additional osteoblasts gather on
the surfaces of the trabeculae and produce more bone,
thereby causing the trabeculae to become larger and longer. Spongy bone forms as the trabeculae join together in an interconnected network of trabeculae separated by spaces.
Compact bone formation
Cells within the spaces of the spongy bone
specialize to form red bone marrow, and cells surrounding the developing bone specialize to form the periosteum. Osteoblasts from the periosteum lay down bone matrix to form an outer surface of compact
bone. The end products of intramembranous ossification are bones with outer compact bone surfaces and spongy centers. Remodeling converts woven bone to lamellar bone and contributes to the final shape of the bone
ENDOCHONDRAL OSSIFIC ATION
bone growth
Closure of epiphyseal plate
epiphyseal plate is ossified becoming the epiphyseal line. Between 12 and 25 years of age.
Articular cartilage
does not ossify, and persists through life.
