what is responsible for bone resorption?
a. osteogenic cells
b. osteoblasts
c. osteocytes
d. osteoclasts

a. osteogenic cells
b. osteoblasts
c. osteocytes
d. osteoclasts
OSTEOBLASTS, add bone tissue to the external surface along the diaphysis
what is the OSTEOID?
bone matrix
OSTEOBLASTS arise from....
osteogenic cells
OSTEOCLASTS are derived from _________ and secrete _________ & ___________.
white blood cells
HCl; lysosomal enzymes
LONG BONES examples
in extremities: radius, ulna, tibia, femur, etc
SHORT BONES examples
cube-shaped bones as in wrist and ankle
What are a special type of short bone which are sesame seed shaped & include knee caps?
SESAMOID BONES
FLAT BONES examples
thin flattened bones, usually curved: ribs, sternum, scapula, cranial bones
IRREGULAR BONES examples
various shapes: vertebrate, hips bones, etc
What are the two layers of the PERIOSTEUM?
-SUPERFICIAL OUTER PERIOSTEUM LAYER
-DEEP INNER PERIOSTEUM LAYER
What layer resists tension placed on bone?
Superificial outer periosteum
Which layer is osteogenic and forms osteoblasts& osteoclasts?
Deep inner periosteum layers
What are PERFORATING FIBERS?
perforating fibers aka sharpey's fibers secure the periosteum to the underlying bone w/ thick bundles of collagen
What are SHARPEY'S FIBERS?
AKA PERFORATING FIBERS, they secure periosteum to the underlying bone w/ thick bundles of collagen
What lines the medullary cavity of the bone?
ENDOSTEUM
what is DIPLOE?
DIPLOE is the internal spony bone
what kind of bones is DIPLOE made of?
trabeculae flat bones
COMPACT BONES contain passage ways for _, _, and _.
blood vessels
lymph vessels
nerves
what are OSTEONS
AKA HAVERSON SYSTEM, long cylindrical structures oriented parallel to the long axis of the bone, support, resembles tree rings, group of concentric tubes
what is the HAVERSON SYSTEM
AKA OSTEONS, long cylindrical structures oriented parallel to the long axis of the bone, support, resembles tree rings, group of concentric tubes
why do adjacent LAMELLA run in different directions?
adj LAMELLA run in diff directions b/c it is optimal for withstanding torsion stresses & inhibiting crack propagation & fracture development
what are the perforating canals?
AKA volkmann's canals, they connect the blood and nerve supply of the periosteum to the central canals
what are volkmann's canals?
AKA perforating canals, they connect the blood and nerve supply of the periosteum to the central canals
what are CANALICULI?
spaces that connect neighboring lacunae to capillaries for nutrient supply, within them are OSTEOCYTES (spider shaped)
what are OSTEOCYTES?
mature bone cells, spider shaped, in lacunae and canaliculi
what is INTERSTITIAL LAMELLAE?
groups of incomplete lamellae in btwn osteons; remains of old osteons cut through by bone remodeling
what are CIRCUMFERENTIAL LAMELLAE?
extends around circumference of the diaphysis (the entire bone o___o)
what is OSSIFICATION?
AKA OSTEOGENESIS, it's bone formation
what are the levels of cartilage organization from the epiphyseal to the diaphysis?
resting zone
proliferation zone
hypertrophic zone
ossification zone
the proliferation zone is composed of
chondroblasts
bone lengthens entirely due to the _ plate.
epiphyseal plate, but it itself does NOT thicken!!
what is APPOSITIONAL GROWTH?
growth of bone by addition of bone tissue to its surface
GROWTH HORMONE is produced by the _ & stimulates the _.
GH produced by the pituitary gland
stimulates the epiphyseal plate
why is THYROID HORMONE important to bones?
thyroid hormones are important b/c it ensures the skeleton keeps the correct proportions
