Osteoblasts, Osteocytes & Osteoclasts
Osteoblasts
Originate from Stem Cells, Produce new Bone and become Osteocytes.
Osteocytes
Mature Bone Cells. They sense the stresses placed on Bone and add more Bone Material if needed.
Osteoclasts
Involved in Bone Reabsorption. They increase the size of the Marrow Cavity as a person grows. They are formed from fusion of cells (macrophages) and each cell has multiple nuclei.
Scapula
The Shoulder Blade.
Humerus
A long bone that articulates with the scapula and its proximal end with the radius and ulna at its distal end.
Radius
In the fore-arm, it is lateral on the thumb side.
Ulna
A medial bone, has a proximal head that looks like a wheel. Has a U shaped depression.
Coxal Bone
The lateral half of the large, flattened, irregularly shaped bone of the pelvis consisting of ilium, ischium and pubis that have fused in the adult, and the acetabulum, which is the point at which the three bones meet.
Femur
