まとめ
成長中の人間の下シンフィシスの形状は,主にサイズに関連した変化 (アロメトリー) によって引き起こされます. 骨の改造は発達を通して進行し,年齢によって骨の内部の形状は影響するが,外部の輪郭は影響しない.
科学分野:
- 人間の解剖学 人間の解剖学
- 発達生物学 発達生物学とは

背景:
- 人間の下のシンフィシスは大きな負荷に耐えるが,成長に関連する皮質骨の形状のメカニズムは十分に理解されていない.
- 骨の厚さや外部の輪郭を分析する既存の方法は,発達過程の洞察が限られている.
研究 の 目的:
- 成長中の人間の下シンフィシス皮質骨を形作る発達メカニズムを調査する.
- 骨の改造を定量化し,形状,サイズ,年齢,地理的起源との関係をテストします.
主な方法:
- 63人の亜成人の下交接体の横断断面の円フーリエ分析.
- マイクロコンピューティングトモグラフィーと,フーリエ記述器を用いた皮質の輪郭のデジタル定量化.
- 主要コンポーネント分析と,形状変化の要因を評価するための線形モデル.
主要な成果:
- シンフィーゼの形状の変化は,主としてアロメトリー (サイズに関連する成長) によって支配され,全皮質面積からの小さな貢献があります.
- 年齢は皮質内部の輪郭に大きく影響するが,外部の輪郭には影響しない. 地理的な起源は大きな影響を示さない.
- 発達軌道は連続しており,最初の恒久的なモラー噴出の前と後のモルフォスペースが重なり合っている.
結論:
- マンディブルシンフィシスの骨の再編成は,成長を通して進行し,当初はサイズに関連する変化が支配する.
- 個別間の形状の相違は,おそらく,発達の後期に現れる.

01:22Sutures of the Skull
13.3K
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...

01:08Overview of the Skull
8.1K
The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
7.4K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:29Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification
11.3K
Intramembranous ossification is one of the two processes involved in the development of bones within an embryo. The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and the clavicles are formed via this process. During intramembranous ossification, the bones develop directly from sheets of undifferentiated mesenchymal connective tissue.
The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into ...

01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
8.0K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

01:17Gross Anatomy of Bone

The two main features of a long bone are the diaphysis and the epiphysis.
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...
