🗑
Types of mature bone tissue   1. Spongy 2. Compact 3. Subcondral  
🗑

🗑
Osteoclasts   Bone destroying cells (large and multinucleated)  
🗑
Wolf's law   Bone remodels according to the way force is transmitted through it; bone architecture reflects its function  
🗑

🗑
Endochondral bones   aka Catilaginous. Bones of skull base + all postcranial bones + parts of the clavicle  
🗑
Ontogenic process in endochondral bone   1. Cartilaginous model forms (hylaine cartilage) 2. Cartilage disintergrates and excavates interior of the bone 3. Connective tissue cells differentiate into osteoblasts, which starts forming spongy bone 4. Periosteum forms  
🗑
  5. Further growth takes place in both directions  
🗑
How does bone growth happen?   1. Between the diaphysis and epiphysis 2. Increase in overall size  
🗑
Interstitial growth   Bone growth between the diaphysis and epiphysis  
🗑
Appositional growth   Overall increase in the size of the bone  
🗑
Describe interstitial growth   1. Blood vessels invade ends of the bone which becomes the secondary center of ossification 2. Epiphyseal plate: zone of cartilage remaining between primary and secondary ossification centers  
🗑
Describe appositional growth   New compact bone deposited by osteoblasts just below the periosteum. The osteoclasts at the inner bone surface destroy bon and enlarge the medullary cavity.  
🗑
Ontogenetic process in intramembranous bone   1. Membrane forms around blood vessel 2. Undifferentiated connective tissue cells around blood vessels differentiates into osteoblasts, which start forming spongy bone. 3. Periosteum forms. 4. Remaining growth happens like appositional growth  
🗑
