Desmale Ossifikation im Bereich der Unterkieferanlage eines Rattenfeten. Die Bälkchen aus desmalem Knochen sind intensiv blau gefärbt. In ihrer Nachbarschaft befinden sich verdichtete Mesenchymbezirke mit Knochenvorläuferzellen. Zwischen den Knochenbälkchen ist locker gebautes Mesenchym, das sich zu Knochenmark differenzieren wird.

Nuclei brown

Myocytes grey-blue to grey-green
Erythrocytes yellow-orange

Dyes:

HOPA = Hemalaun, Orange G, Phosphormolybdenic acid, Aniline blue

Cell nuclei are stained with hemalaun or Weigerts iron-hematoxylin and then counterstained with a dye mixture of orange-phosphormolybden with aniline blue.

Bei der desmalen Ossifikation entsteht Knochengewebe unmittelbar aus Mesenchymzellen, die sich an gefäßreichen Ossifikationspunkten konzentrieren. Sie differenzieren sich über Knochenvorläuferzellen (Osteoprogenitorzellen) zu Osteoblasten (=knochenbildende Zellen). Die Osteoblasten beginnen mit der Synthese und Sekretion von Osteoid, das unverkalkte Matrix darstellt. Zur Verkalkung kommt es durch die Ausfällung von Kalziumphosphat in Form von Hydroxylapatit. Die nun von mineralisierter Matrix eingeschlossenen Osteoblasten werden Osteozyten genannt. Das neu entstandene Knochenteilchen ist mit Osteoblasten besetzt, die Osteoid bilden, das verkalkt. So entstehen durch appositionelles Wachstum die Knochenbälkchen.

1. Organization of the screen surface

Right side: histologic specimen
Left side: information about the specimen (above) and general program functions (below)

2.Histologic specimen

Pull the mouse across the histologic specimen for training purposes. A small square with exclamation marks (dynamic labels) will appear where there is an important structure. You should then decide what structure this could be. To check your result, simply click the appropriate square, and the correct label will appear. The option “marked” allows you to see all labels for all structures simultaneously. These can be removed by clicking “unmarked”. This reactivates the dynamic labels.

3. Complementary information

Info: general information about the specimen, as well as a list of the dynamic labels
Drawing: schematic drawing of the specimen
Staining: information about the staining method for this specimen
Knowledge: short texts with basic histologic information, presently deactivated

4. General Program Functions

Home: returns you to the “start” page
Tutor: how to contact the HistoNet Team
Help: Instructions for Use appear
Exit: closes down the HistoNet program
Boxes: goes back to the other specimen of a topic
VM: provides virtual microscopy

We hope you will enjoy working with HistoNet2000 and learn a lot from it!
