HISTOLOGY 1.10: OSTEOGENESIS • Bone develops by a process of transformation from an • existing connective tissue. • Types of ossification: • On the basis of tissues involved: • Direct: connective tissue bone • Indirect: connective tissue cartilage bone • On the basis of the procedure: • Desmal/intramembranous • direct • Chondral: perichondral • endochondral indirect
Intramembranous/desmal ossification • The bones of the calvarium develop by this ossification. • The bone forms directly from a layer of mesenchyme in the embryo. • Steps: • Capillaries invade the area • Mesenchymal cells become spherical, form osteoprogenitor cells • Osteoprogenitor cells give rise to osteoblasts, the bone forming cells • Osteoblast synthesize and secrete osteoid, contribute to mineralization • Osteoblast surrounded by the osteoid transform into osteocytes • Formations: • Ossification centers • Bony spicules, trabeculae • Trabecular, spongy or cancellous bone – immature • Replaced by mature lamellar bone

Endochondral ossification • Bones of the extremities,vertebral column, pelvis, base of skull are formed • by this type of ossification. • The bone is formed initially of hyaline cartilage models that are • replaced by bone. • Steps: • The cartilage model grows more quickly at the end of the long bone • The cartilage cells in the midsection mature and enlarge, release • matrix vesicles, matrix calcifies • Perichondrial mesenchymal cells produce a bony collar around the • diaphysis causing further trouble in the metabolism of the chondrocytes • (direct/perichondral ossification) • A capillary loop accompanied by mesenchymal cells perforates • the bony collar and enters the hypertrophic cartilage • Chondroclasts phagocyte degenerating chondrocytes leaving • pin-shaped calcified remnants of the matrix • Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells which give rise • to osteoblasts laying down the first layers of osteoid onto the surface of • calcified remnants of cartilage matrix

Summary of the formation of a long bone with the secondary ossification centers
Growth of the bone: The newly formed bone is transformed into compact or lamellar bone: concurrent periosteal growth and endosteal resorption enlarges the marrow cavity and increases the width of the diaphysis. Epiphyseal plate: disk-shaped intact layer of hyaline cartilage ensure the longitudinal growth of the long bones until puberty. Bone modeling: Primitive woven bone is replaced by lamellar bone. The changes in size and shape during the growth process, it is continuous until adult shape is obtained. Drift: eccentrical growing upon biomechanical demands. Bone remodeling: Does not involve anatomical surfaces, cyclic, and slower procedure. During a lifetime the material of the whole skeleton turn over several times.
