科学分野:
- 古生物学
- 動物学
- 比較解剖学
背景:
- 骨の微細構造は 生涯の出来事や 生物学的機能を記録します
- 皮質の成長線は 出産や離乳などの ストレスのある生理的期間で形成されます
- 哺乳類の骨組織学の研究は化石記録の解釈に不可欠ですが,依然として限られています.
研究 の 目的:
- スプリングボック (Antidorcas marsupialis) の長い骨の微細構造を限定されたオントジェネティックシリーズで記述する.
- 皮質の成長指数と 捕虜として育てられた個体における 既知の死亡年齢を相関させるため
- 骨の微細構造の信頼性を評価する
主な方法:
- 既知の年齢のスプリングボックの前肢と後肢の長い骨の骨格学的検査.
- 皮質の骨組織構成の分析,内骨のラメラ組織,繊維のラメラ骨,外的基礎系 (EFS) を含む.
- 出生線,離乳線,成長停止線を含む皮質の成長マークの識別とカウント.
主要な成果:
- スプリングボックの長い骨は,内部の骨内膜組織,中部皮質の繊維膜骨,外部の血管並列繊維組織 (EFS) を有する.
- 年間成長マークは,中部皮質繊維組織とEFSで識別できます.
- EFSの発生は骨格の成熟と相関し,中部皮質の成長マークは成熟前の年齢を確実に示す.
結論:
- スプリングボックの中部皮質の成長マークは,骨格の成熟前の年齢の信頼できる指標です.

01:27Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue
3.5K
Chondrocytes form a temporary cartilaginous model by dividing and secreting a thick gel-like extracellular matrix. Once the chondrocytes undergo programmed cell death, osteoblasts enter the site of the cartilaginous model. The process of replacing the temporary cartilaginous model with bone in an ordered manner is called endochondral ossification. In endochondral ossification, not all of the cartilage is replaced by bone tissue. Some cartilage that performs a protective and supportive function...

5.2K
All bones comprise an outer layer of compact bone, and an interior made up of spongy bone tissue, also called cancellous or trabecular bone. In long bones, spongy bone tissue is mainly found in the interior of the epiphyses (broad ends of the bone).
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...

Within the skeletal system, the structure of a bone, or osseous tissue, can be exemplified in a long bone, like the femur, where there are two types of osseous tissue: cortical and cancellous.

01:27Compact Bone

Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
7.6K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
