Anatomy of endochondral versus intramembranous bone growth

Prepare a 2-3 page paper in which you:

1.Provide a discussion of the normal anatomy of endochondral versus intramembranous bone growth

2.Describe the pathological (disease) processes involved in achondroplasia, and answer this question:  Why do individuals with achondroplasia have a normal sized head but abnormally proportioned limbs?

3.Discuss how bone remodels throughout life and the healing process of a fracture.

NOTE: This assignment will require you to engage in independent research to learn about achondroplasia and bone growth and repair throughout life.  I have provided some resources for you on the ebrary bookshelf to get you started.  Begin your research by looking through the following books:  Bones and Cartilage:  Developemental Skeletal Biology, Growth Plate, and Human Growth and Development.  Look up terms that you do not know, take notes, and assemble these notes INTO YOUR OWN WORDS.  Copied text will receive a failing grade.

Assignment Expectations

Format

Remember that all of your work should be prepared using appropriate format. This link from your course syllabus page will help reinforce formatting expectations: http://www.trident.edu/files/Well-Written-Paper.pdf

Scholarly Content

Your SLP and your case assignments are considered scholarly works. Your final work should include a MINIMUM of 10 peer reviewed (scholarly) sources. This does not mean that you must place 10 peer reviewed sources in each module of your Case/SLP. I anticipate that the nature of the questions which must be answered in this project will result in the accumulation of more than 10 references, but 10 is the minimum number. This means by the end of module 5, I should be able to go back and count AT A MINIMUM a total of 10 scholarly-peer reviewed publications in all of your submitted papers. If you are uncertain what a peer reviewed (scholarly) source is, go to http://www.csuchico.edu/lins/handouts/scholarly.pdf .
