bone develops from pre-existing model, most bones develop this process, formation of primary ossification center and marrow cavity in shaft of model
during primary ossification of endochondral ossification
bony collar is developed by osteoblasts, chondrocytes swell and die, stem cells give rise to osteoblasts and clasts, bone is laid down and marrow cavity is created

chondrocytes die and columns fill w/ osteoblasts, osteons formed and spongy bone is created
during bone growth and remodeling...
bones increase in length, bones increase in width(appositional growth)
bones are remodeled...
throughout life
bones increase in length by...
interstitial growth of epipyseal plate, epipyseal line is left behind when cartilage is gone
when bones increase in width...
osteoblasts lay down matrix in layers on outer surface and osteoclasts dissolve bone on inner surface
Wolff's law of bone
architecture of bone is determined by mechanical stresses(action of osteoblasts and osteoclasts)
mineralization is a....
crystallization process
during mineralization
osteoblasts produce collagen fibers spiraled the length of the osteon, minerals cover the fibers and harden the matrix
when minerals cover the fibers and harden the matrix...
ions are deposited along the fibers; ion concentration must reach the solubility product for crystal formation to occur
abnormal calcification
(ectopic) may occur in lungs, brain, eyes, muscles, tendons or arteries(arteriosclerosis)
during mineral resorption from bone...
bone is dissolved and minerals are released into the blood
when bone is dissolved and minerals are released into the blood...
performed by osteoclasts(ruffled border), hydrogen pumps in membrane secrete hydrogen into space between the osteoclast and bone surface, chloride ions follow by electrical attraction, hydrochloric acid dissolves bone minerals, enzyme digest the collagen
dental braces reposition teeth and remodel bone
create more pressure on one side of the tooth, stimulates osteoclasts to remove bone, decreased pressure stimulates osteoblasts
Phosphate is a component of ...
