Bone Formation and Growth

Understanding how bone tissue is formed and maintained is central to us understanding how bones can be affected or changed throughout one's lifetime.The objective of this lesson is to identify the key cells stages, and structures of bone formation and repair.

You will be completing some reading and annotating from our online textbook, as well as watching a video and answering some questions.

1.

First, log in to our Chapter 6.4 of our online textbook.

Before you start doing any reading, skim through the reading. Look briefly at the diagrams and headers for each section.

What are you the most interested to learn about?

2.

Now, read and highlight / annotate section 6.4 (remember: you must be logged in to do this!)

When you are done reading and annotating, click on 'my highlights'. Select only your notes for Chapter 6, like this:

Take a screenshot of your notes and upload it below.

If you do not know how to do this, research 'how to take a screenshot' with your specific computer

The diagram below is similar to Figure 6.17 from the reading. It outlines the steps of long bone formation from the fetal stage to childhood.

Use the diagram to put the following stages / phases in order.

  1. The hyaline cartilage in the epiphyses of the bone is fully replaced with bone tissue

  2. Bone tissue begins to form in the epiphyses of the bone

  3. Spongy bone and blood vessels starts to form in the center of the diaphysis of the bone

  4. Cartilage begins to break down in the center of the diaphysis of the bone

  5. Bone is made primarily of hyaline cartilage.
