appositional growth |
|
describe appositional growth |
1. ridges in periosteum create groove for periosteal blood vessel 2. periosteal ridges fuse, forming an endosteum-lined tunnel (Haversian canal) 3. osteoblasts in endosteum build new concentric lamellae inward toward center of tunnel, forming a new osteon 4. bone grows outward as osteoblasts in periosteum build new outer circumferential lamellae. Osteon formation repeats as new periosteal ridges fold over blood vessels. |

|
What is the mechanism of fracture healing? |

|
|
More on the process of fracture healing |
1. formation of fracture hematoma 2. fibrocartilaginous callus formation 3. bony callus formation 4. bone remodeling |
|
How does aging affect bone tissue? |
demineralization leads to osteoporosis decreases rate of protein synthesis leading to decreased matrix components |
