Few points
• Most of the bones of the body develops from
cartilaginous model.
• 1st bone to ossify in body --- clavicle
• Commonest congenital anomaly due to
defective membranous ossification ----
cleidocranial dysostosis.
• Commonest congenital anomaly due to
defective cartilaginous ossification ----
achondroplasia[dwarfism]—short curved arm
& legs.,, autosomal dominant disorder
Ossification centre
• Parts of long bone---epiphysis,, metaphysis,,
diaphysis.
• Ossification centre– the site where bone
formation begins.
• Type– two=== 1]. Primary ossif. Centre
2]. Secondary ossif. Centre
1]. Primary ossif. Centre—
--appear before birth exception-
cueniform,navicular bone
--may be single or multiple
--when multiple , appears simultaneously
--forms diaphysis
2]. Secondary ossif. Centre
--appear after birth ,, exception—lower end of
femur[ appear at or just before birth]
--usually multiple
--when multiple ,, not appear simultaneously,,
,,Appear at different age/time
--form epiphysis
--diaphysis & epiphysis are formed separately ,
they fuse at puberty .Fusion is completed by
age 25yrs. So height not increase after age
25.
LAW OF OSSIFICATION [Law of union
of epiphysis]
• a/c to this law, the epiphysis
(epiphyseal/sec.ossif. Centre) --- which appears
1st unites last and epiphyseal centre which appear
later unites first.
• Exception– fibula– epiphyseal centre of lower
end appear 1st & unites 1st
- epiphyseal centre of upper end appear late &
unites late.
[the epiphysis which unites last is present on
growing end of bone.]
Growing end of long bone
• Blood supply of long bone
• 1. by epiphyseal artery
• 2.metaphyseal artery
• 3.nutrient artery
• 4.periosteal artery
NUTRIENT ARTERY– it enters in medullary
cavity of bone through nutrient foramen.
...Direction of nutrient artery is always from
growing end of bone
example
• ‘’NA –go towards elbow joint & flee away from
knee joint.’’
