lacunae
|
small space in either the matrix of cartilage tissue or bones where cells reside.
|
|
|
perichondrium
|
dense irregular connective tissue which lies around the periphery which has lots of blood vessels and and chondroblasts which facilitates growth.

bone cells.
irregular shape involved in removal of bone tissue. |
|
|
osteocytes
|
bone cells.
round body shape mature cells that maintain bone. |
|
|
inorganic substance in bone matrix
|
composes 2/3 of matrix, made of inorganic material, acts at the concrete that resists compression and prevents sagging.
like concrete |
|
|
collagenous fibres in bone matrix
|
compose about 1/3 of matrix.
organic fibres such as collages that provide a bit of flexibility and strength. like support beams. |
|
|
periosteum
|
double layered protective membrane lining the outside of bones. attaches to bone by sharpeys fibres
|
|
|
endosteum
|
membrane that surrounds the internal surfaces of bone.
|

dense bone
cortical bone |
|
|
diaphesis
|
tubular shaft that forms the centre of compact bone.
|
|
|
medullary cavity
|
lies within the diaphysis contains yellow marrow and stores fat for energy
|
|
|
epiphyseal growth plate
|
seperates the diaphysis from the epiphysis. made of hyaline cartilage.
|
|
|
epiphyses
|
the enlarged section at the top of the bone. filled with spongy bone.
|
|
|
compact bone
|
forms the wall of the diaphysis and the outer edges of the bone in the epiphyses.
|
|
|
spongy bone
|
found in the deeper portions of the epiphysis or in flat, square or irregular bones.
|
|
|
trabecular
|
small section of bone found within spongy bone.
contains red blood cells between the trabeculae. |
|
|
articular cartilage
|
made of hyaline cartilage. lines the joints
|
|
|
osteon
|
repeating structural unit centred around a Harversion canal.
|
|
|
haversion canal
|
blood vessels and nerve supply to the bones.
forms the centre of the osteon. |
|
|
lamellae
|
cylinders surrounding the haversion canal, makes the osteon
|
|
|
lacunae
|
situated between the lamellae, holds the osteocytes.
|
|
|
canaliculi
|
link osteocytes to eachother and to the haversion canal.
|
