6 Bone Formation & Maintenance Ossification (osteogenesis) Stages Bone formation Begins in the 2nd month of development Postnatal growth Until early adulthood Bone remodeling and repair Lifelong Types of Ossification 1. Endochondral ossification Bone forms by replacing hyaline Forms most of the skeleton 2. Intramembranous ossification Bone develops from fibrous membrane Forms flat s Endochondral Ossification Uses hyaline models Requires breakdown of hyaline prior to ossification Week 9 Hyaline Bone collar Primary ossification center 1 Bone collar forms around hyaline model. Figure 6.9, step 1 Area of deteriorating matrix Month 3 Spongy formation Blood vessel of periosteal bud 2 Cartilage in the center of the diaphysis calcifies and then develops cavities. 3 The periosteal bud invades the internal cavities and spongy begins to form.

7 blood vessel Birth Secondary ossification center Medullary cavity Childhood to adolescence Articular Spongy plate 4 The diaphysis elongates and a medullary cavity forms as ossification continues. Secondary ossification centers appear in the epiphyses in preparation for stage 5. Figure 6.9, step 4 5 The epiphyses ossify. When completed, hyaline remains only in the epiphyseal plates and articular s.

Figure 6.10 Intramembranous Ossification Forms flat s Skull roof, lower jaw, clavicles Uses a fibrous membrane model formed from mesenchymal cells Mesenchymal cell Collagen fiber Ossification center Osteoid Osteoblast 1 Ossification centers appear in the fibrous connective tissue membrane. Selected centrally located mesenchymal cells cluster and differentiate into osteoblasts, forming an ossification center. Figure 6.8, (1 of 4) 7

8 Osteoblast Osteoid Osteocyte Newly calcified matrix 2 Bone matrix (osteoid) is secreted within the fibrous membrane and calcifies. Osteoblasts begin to secrete osteoid, which is calcified within a few days. Trapped osteoblasts become osteocytes. Figure 6.8, (2 of 4) Mesenchyme condensing to form the periosteum Trabeculae of woven Blood vessel 3 Woven and periosteum form. Accumulating osteoid is laid down between embryonic blood vessels in a random manner. The result is a network (instead of lamellae) of trabeculae called woven. Vascularized mesenchyme condenses on the external face of the woven and becomes the periosteum. Figure 6.8, (3 of 4) Fibrous periosteum Osteoblast Plate of compact Diploë (spongy ) cavities contain red marrow Bone Maintenance Bone is dynamic throughout human lifespan Remodeling has several functions Replacement and repair Release of calcium Response to stress (modification of density) 4 Lamellar replaces woven, just deep to the periosteum. Red marrow appears. Trabeculae just deep to the periosteum thicken, and are later replaced with mature lamellar, forming compact plates. Spongy (diploë), consisting of distinct trabeculae, persists internally and its vascular tissue becomes red marrow.
