***Vascularised
 
***Developed centres of ossification
 
****Primary (diaphyseal)
 
****Secondary (epiphyseal)
 
**'''Intramembranous ossification'''
 
***Flat bones mainly (e.g. skull), shaft of long bones
 
***Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts
 
***No cartilage precursor template

===Bone dynamics===
 
 
 
*Bone growth and maintenance of normal structure are directly related to mechanical forces
 
*Mechanical forces generate bioelectrical potentials (piezoelectricity)
 
**These potentials strengthen bone
 
**Inactivity reduces the potentials -> bone loss
 
 
 
*In neonates:
 
**Bone growth predominates
 
**Modelling is important
 
*In adults:
 
**Formation of bone is balanced by resorption - remodelling
 
**Continues throughout life under the influence of hormones and mechanical pressure
 
**Bone resorption may exceed formation in pathological states (hormonal, trauma, nutritional) or in old age and disuse

Changes to normal structure

Damage to Periosteum

  • Invokes a hyperplastic reaction of the inner layer
  • Is painful
  • Exostoses can remodel or remain

Lifting of periosteum causes new bone formation below

Circumferential incision (e.g. during fracture)

  • Longitudinal bone growth results
  • May be only on one side where periosteum is damaged

Physis (Growth plate)

  • Site of many congenital or nutritional bone diseases in the growing animal
  • Open in neonates and growing animals
    • Chondrocyte proliferation balances cell maturation and death
  • Closes and ossifies at maturity
    • Regulated by androgens
  • If growth teporarily stops -> layer of bone seals the growth plate -> moves into metaphysis when growth resumes -> forms Harris lines
